The purpose of the present study was to examine the extent to which Desire for Control (DFC) interacts with experimental manipulations of demand and control, and the consequences of these interactions on task satisfaction and perceived goal attainment (i.e. task performance and task mastery). It was expected that the proposed stress-buffering effects of control would be evident only for individ...

Two experiments investigated the perception of compound vs. phrasal stress and narrow focus in normally hearing children and children with Cochlear Implants (CI). Additionally, we investigated whether musical experience would predict children’s performance in these tasks. The results showed no difference between CI and normal-hearing (NH) children in either experiment. However, whereas we found...

Plants, due to their sessile nature, face several environmental adversities. Abiotic stresses such as heat, cold, drought, heavy metals, and salinity are serious threats plant production yield. To cope with these stresses, plants have developed sophisticated mechanisms avoid or resist stress conditions. A proper response abiotic depends primarily on how perceive the signal, which in turn leads ...

BACKGROUND Safety attitude surveys have been widely conducted in various disciplines, but not among respiratory therapists (RTs), to assess clinician's awareness of patient safety. We conducted a nationwide survey in Taiwan to assess RTs' safety attitudes in several hospital settings.
