Science research contributions to applied science have been staggering, to say the least, over the last 25 years. Almost every computer related field or discipline has made significant strides that have impacted every day life. The field of human-computer interaction has made such minor break-throughs, one could argue if it is really an independent field of study, or simply a subset of analysis...

To date, there are few large-scale studies that have examined the relationship between duration of abstinence and cognitive functioning in polysubstance-dependent individuals. Existing large-scale studies of polysubstance abusers have reported only minimal recovery of cognitive functioning with abstinence [Arch. Gen. Psychiatry 35 (1978) 1063]. The goal of this study is to test whether length o...

Many manifestations of human dependency are adaptive, such as looking for proximity, care, and support when in distress, or establishing stable bonds in which others are perceived as a safe haven that can shield us against many difficulties and dangers. In spite of these adaptive manifestations, dependency can be maladaptive. Psychiatric classification has generally labelled dependency “Depende...

Weight loss outcome for 49 obese patients after 6 months treatment in a behavior modification program was related to Rorschach personality characteristics according to the Comprehensive System (Exner, 2003), also including the Rorschach Oral Dependency Scale (Bornstein, 1996; Masling & Rabie, 1967). Less weight loss was predicted by signs of perceptual and cognitive distortions indicated by the...

While enterprise social media (ESM) increasingly plays a vital role in improving teamwork in organizations, our understanding of how ESM is used by team members is still limited. Although researchers have investigated the impacts of ESM use, relatively few studies explore how individual members exhibit different extents of ESM usage behavior. Drawing upon media system dependency theory, we prop...

Initiation practices likely support group functioning by promoting group-relevant skills and attitudes, reinforcing status hierarchies, and stimulating cognitive, behavioral, and affective forms of social dependency. In field tests of these propositions, 269 undergraduates from same-gender organizations rated their initiation experiences. As predicted, athletes reported relatively more physical...
