Using Mennin, Heimberg, Turk, and Fresco's [Emotion regulation deficits as a key feature of generalized anxiety disorder: Testing a theoretical model, submitted for publication] conceptualization of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) as a syndrome involving emotion dysregulation and an overuse of cognitive control strategies, this study sought to differentiate individuals with GAD from controls...

The current study involved 281 early-school-age twin pairs (118 monozygotic, 163 same-sex dizygotic) participating in the ongoing Western Reserve Reading Project (S. A. Petrill, K. Deater-Deckard, L. A. Thompson, & C. Schatschneider, 2006). Twins were tested in their homes by separate examiners on a battery of reading-related skills including phonological awareness, rapid automatized naming, wo...

R and designers have been building awareness displays to improve the coordination of communication between distributed co-workers since the early 1990s. Awareness displays are technology designed to provide contextual information about the activities of group members. Most researchers have assumed that these displays improve the coordination of communication regardless of the relationship betwe...

Spatial awareness is important in domains where safety hinges on human operators keeping track of the relative locations of objects in the environment. While a variety of subjective and judgment-based measures have been used to evaluate spatial awareness, none have probed all three of its levels: (1) identification of environmental objects, (2) their current locations relative to the operator, ...

nowadays soil erosion is considered as a serious threat to human's life and his welfare. when soil erosion not properly controlled, the fertility would gradually decrease. adoption of appropriate soil conservation practices along with socio-economic factors' assessment can be used to increase farmers' awareness and acceptance of soil conservation, and to diminish soil erosion dam...

We propose a notion of a sub-model for each agent at each state in the Heifetz et al (2006) model of interactive unawareness. Presuming that each agent is fully cognizant of his sub-model causes no di¢ culty and fully describes his knowledge and his beliefs about the knowledge and awareness of others. In addition by relaxing some of the conditions that Heifetz et al imposed in their framework w...

Background: Radiology staff needs to justify the radiation exposures in order to protect themselves and others from radiation risks. The aims of this study were to examine the awareness level of radiation dose and protection amongst radiographers and to compare their performance between major Jordanian hospitals. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 4 major Jord...
