The present study empirically examined previously inconsistent findings between Aldwin (Aldwin, C. M., 1994. Stress, coping, and development. New York, NY: The Guilford Press) and Slavin, Rainer, McCreary, and Gowda’s (Slavin, L. A., Rainer, K. L., McCreary, M. L., & Gowda, K. K., 1991. Toward a multicultural model of the stress process. Journal of Counseling & Development, 70, 156–163) models ...

Over the last decades, trust in physician has gained in importance. Studies have shown that trust in physician is associated with positive health behaviors in patients. However, the validity of empirical findings fundamentally depends on the quality of the measures in use. Our aim was to provide an overview of trust in physician measures and to evaluate the methodological quality of the psychom...

R ecent studies have found that those educated in the Arab region are often ill prepared to work in a global economy. As a result, policymakers there are paying close attention to human capital development, the match between the population’s skills and those demanded in the labor market, and the quality of the education being provided. Defi ciencies in these areas threaten to undermine progress...

INTRODUCTION The study analyzes the accuracy and agreeability in evaluating hyperactivity in children. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study sample was made of 139 children of pre-school age who participated in organized forms of physical activity.

We present a conceptual framework in which culture is endogenous to the socialization of youth and the development of specific self-regulatory strategies. The importance of cultural influence is identified at three levels: (a) intr...

This paper argues that doctors ought to make all things considered value judgments about what is best for their patients. It illustrates some of the shortcomings of the model of doctor as 'fact-provider'. The 'fact-provider' model fails to take account of the fact that practising medicine necessarily involves making value judgments; that medical practice is a moral practice and requires that do...

Connectionist computer simulation was employed to explore the notion that, if attitudes guide approach and avoidance behaviors, false negative beliefs are likely to remain uncorrected for longer than false positive beliefs. In Study 1, the authors trained a three-layer neural network to discriminate "good" and "bad" inputs distributed across a two-dimensional space. "Full feedback" training, wh...

The over-arching goal of this work is to discuss the user-reported critical incident method, a costeffective remote usability evaluation method for real-world applications involving real users, doing real tasks in real work environments. Several methods have been developed for conducting usability evaluation without direct observation of a user by an evaluator. However, contrary to the user-rep...
