The competencies required by the five practice models that constitute the total pharmacy care (TPC) model are discussed. Understanding the differences among the competencies required by the five practice models can help pharmacy's leaders estimate the extent of change that may be necessary whenever a change in practice is contemplated.

3 In this paper we examine the effects of preadolescent parenting strategies on timing of adolescents' dating and sexual initiation. Using data from the two waves of the National Survey of Families and Households (1987-88 and 1992-94) involving interviews with parents as well as adolescents four years later, we estimate the effects of preadolescent parental support, coercive control, and monito...

The main aim of this study was to explain the domain-specificity of early prosocial behavior in different domains (i.e., helping, comforting, and cooperation) by simultaneously assessing specific socio-cognitive factors (i.e., self-other-differentiation and joint attentional skills) that were hypothesized to be differentially related to the three domains of prosocial behavior. Based on a longit...

We hypothesized that children develop emotion recognition skill as a function of parents' own emotion-related beliefs, behaviors, and skills. We examined parents' beliefs about the va...

Each chapter within this volum...

In this article I argue that although the notion of identification with media characters is widely discussed in media research, it has not been carefully conceptualized or rigorously tested in empirical audience studies.
