The way the parents build their relationships with their children is the strongest factor affecting family interaction patterns. This study aimed to examine the role of maternal parenting styles in predicting oppositional defiant, behavior, conduct, mood, and separation anxiety disorders among elementary school students. In this research, 86 children among all those referring to the counseling ...

BACKGROUND Much of the research conducted to date implies overweight youth exhibit uniform active and sedentary behavioral patterns. This approach negates the possibility that multiple co-occurring, and seemingly contrasting, behaviors may manifest within the same individual. We present a substantive dialogue on alternative analytical approaches to identifying risk-related active/sedentary beha...

Given a large time-evolving network, how can we model and characterize the temporal behaviors of individual nodes (and network states)? How can we model the behavioral transition patterns of nodes? We propose a temporal behavior model that captures the “roles” of nodes in the graph and how they evolve over time. The proposed dynamic behavioral mixed-membership model (DBMM) is scalable, fully au...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by qualitative impairments in social interaction, communication, and stereotyped behavior patterns. The cost burden for health coverage ASD focused on educational applied behavioral analysis psychotropic drugs to decrease maladaptive behaviors support learning development. Determinants of either risk factors or prevention related covering environm...

BACKGROUND Examining responders and non-responders to behavioral lifestyle interventions among overweight/obese adults with additional comorbidities may aid in refining and tailoring obesity treatment. PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the use of latent class analysis to identify patterns of response to behavioral lifestyle interventions based on adherence to diet and exerci...

Abstract Background and Purposes: Behavioral emotional disorders are the result of a variety of psychological problems during the developmental period, especially early childhood, which lead to antisocial behaviors, dysfunction of academic and social performance at later ages. Interaction patterns of families with children are among the factors affecting the process of development and menta...

We explored whether young children exhibit subtypes of behavioral sequences during sibling interaction. Ten-minute, free-play observations of over 300 sibling dyads were coded for positivity, negativity and disengagement. The data were analyzed using growth mixture modeling (GMM). Younger (18-month-old) children's temporal behavioral sequences showed a harmonious (53%) and a casual (47%) class....

OBJECTIVES On the animal model of trimethyltin (TMT) induced behavioral deficits the effect of chronic treatment with spirocyclic dipeptide cyclo/alanyl-l-amino-l-cyclopentane-carbonyl (alaptide, AL) was evaluated in adult male rats. METHODS Changes in the spontaneous behavioral repertoire were investigated in the open-field test on Day 21 (Session 1) and Day 28 (Session 2) after a single ora...

When designing a system in the behavioral level, one of the most important steps to be taken is verifying its functionality before it is released to the logic/PD design phase. One may consider behavioral models as oracles in industries to test against when the final chip is produced. In this work, we use branch coverage as a measure for the quality of verifying/testing behavioral models. Minimu...
