Problem solving is an essential skill for effective diabetes self-management. Evidence suggests that problem-solving therapy (PST) approaches, used in the context of broader diabetes educational or lifestyle interventions, may be effective for mood and select diabetes outcomes. As a stand-alone treatment, formal PST adapted for diabetes self-management is a promising behavioral intervention for...

The relationship between Austrian economics and behavioral economics is a complex and multifaceted one. On the one hand, behavioral economics rejects the positive claims of modern, standard neoclassical economics and yet accepts its normative standards. Thus behavioral economics is itself a hybrid; it is part psychological economics and part neoclassical economics. Furthermore, many behavioral ...

We use dynamical systems modeling to help understand how selected intra-personal factors interact to form mechanisms of behavior change in problem drinkers. Our modeling effort illustrates the iterative process of modeling using an individual's clinical data. Due to the lack of previous work in modeling behavior change in individual patients, we build our preliminary model relying on our unders...

Drawing on the self-system model, this study conceptualized school engagement as a multidimensional construct, including behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement, and examined whether changes in the three types of school engagement related to changes in problem behaviors from 7th through 11th grades (approximately ages 12-17). In addition, a transactional model of reciprocal relations be...

aim and background: the role of behavioral inhibition and activation systems as predisposing factors in readiness for emotional and behavioral problems in adolescents has been increasingly studied in recent years. the purpose of this study was to investigate the role of these two systems in predicting the development of psychopathology in adolescents. methods and materials: the study population...

Chromatographic behavior of co-eluted compounds from un-extracted drug-free plasma samples was studied by LC-MS and LC-MS/MS with positive APCI. Under soft gradient, total ion chromatogram (TIC) consisted of two major peaks separated by a constant lower intensity region. Early peak (0.15-0.4 min) belongs to polar plasma compounds and consisted of smaller mass ions (m/z<250); late peak (3.6-4.6 ...

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is defined as threatened, attempted, or completed physical or sexual violence or emotional abuse by a current or former intimate partner. IPV can be committed by a spouse, an ex-spouse, a current or former boyfriend or girlfriend, or a dating partner. Each year, IPV results in an estimated 1,200 deaths and 2 million injuries among women and nearly 600,000 injurie...
