Multiple Victimization: Evidence, Theory, and Future Research

A Reflection on Research, Theory, Evidence-based Practice, and Quality Improvement

Commentary: Motor Imagery during Action Observation: A Brief Review of Evidence, Theory and Future Research Opportunities

Motor imagery (MI) and action observation (AO) have traditionally been viewed as two separate techniques, which can both be used alongside physical practice to enhance motor learning and rehabilitation. Their independent use has largely been shown to be effective, and there is clear evidence that the two processes can elicit similar activity in the motor system. Building on these well-establish...

Measuring the Sexual Victimization of Women : Evolution , Current Controversies , and Future Research

In the 1970s, the growing interest in the victimization of women prompted claims that rape and sexual assault in the United States, heretofore rendered invisible, were rampant. Existing data sources, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Uniform Crime Reports and the Bureau of Justice Statistics’ National Crime Survey (later called the National Crime Victimization Survey), were roundl...

Future directions for research on the development of relational and physical peer victimization.

After several decades of research on peer victimization and associated constructs the field is poised to make a number of important discoveries and advances. More specifically, the study of peer victimization subtypes has rapidly increased since the seminal work of Crick and Grotpeter ( 1996 ) on relational and physical victimization. The current state of the field is briefly reviewed, and reco...

Coping theory and research: past, present, and future.

In this essay in honor of Donald Oken, I emphasize coping as a key concept for theory and research on adaptation and health. My focus will be the contrasts between two approaches to coping, one that emphasizes style—that is, it treats coping as a personality characteristic—and another that emphasizes process—that is, efforts to manage stress that change over time and are shaped by the adaptatio...
