PURPOSE This study examines the extent and independent correlates of congruence between disabled elders and their caregivers on several aspects of the caregiving experience. DESIGN AND METHODS Participants were 117 visually impaired elders and their caregivers. Correlational analyses, kappa statistics, and paired t tests were used to examine the extent of congruence. Hierarchical multiple reg...

In two earlier papers we derived congruence formats for weak semantics on the basis of a decomposition method for modal formulas. The idea is that a congruence format for a semantics must ensure that the formulas in the modal characterisation of this semantics are always decomposed into formulas that are again in this modal characterisation. Here this work is extended with important stability a...

We introduce interpersonal congruence—the degree to which group members see others in the group as others see themselves—as a moderator of the relationship between diversity and group effectiveness. A longitudinal study of 83 work groups revealed that functional and demographic diversity tended to undermine the functioning of groups with low interpersonal congruence, whereas these detrimental e...

In 1988, Gross proposed a conjectural congruence between Stickelberger elements and algebraic regulators, which is often referred to as the refined class number formula. this paper, we prove congruence.

1. Congruence lattices. G. Birkhoff and O. Frink noted that the congruence lattice Con04) of an algebra A (with operations of finite rank) is algebraic or compactly generated. The celebrated Grätzer-Schmidt theorem states that, conversely, every algebraic lattice is isomorphic to Con(A) for some algebra A. The importance of this is obvious, for it shows that unless something more is known about...

Objective: Theory and research suggest that the pursuit of personal goals that do not fit a person's affect-based implicit motives results in impaired emotional well-being, including increased symptoms of depression. The aim of this study was to evaluate an intervention designed to enhance motive-goal congruence and study its impact on well-being. Method: Seventy-four German students (mean age ...
