This study investigated the psychometric properties of Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire (CPAQ) in a mixed chronic pain, Internet sample and sought to develop valid reliable short form. Questionnaires were completed by 428 respondents, comprising accessed via (n=319) who paper pencil version measures (n=109). Using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) two-factor structure CPAQ was supported, though good model fit only achieved following removal one item. The resultant 19 item demonstrated...
OBJECTIVE To examine whether behavioural or cognitive sequelae of otitis media with effusion (OME) continue into late childhood and the early teens (11–18 years). SETTING Data from a large multipurpose birth cohort study: Dunedin multidisciplinary health development study. PARTICIPANTS Around 1000 children The main independent variable interest was otological status child up to age 9. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Parent teacher rated behaviour problems, including antisocial, neurotic, hyperactive,...
A New Zealand and a Scottish pedigree with maternally inherited sensorineural deafness were both previously shown to carry heteroplasmic A7445G mutation in the mitochondrial genome. More detailed clinical examination of family showed that hearing loss was progressive, severity overall frequencies most affected differing markedly between individuals similar age, many relatives also had palmoplantar keratoderma. Review literature demonstrated three other large families presumed autosomal...
Two measures of implicit attitudes, the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP) and Association Test (IAT), were compared with each other a measure explicit attitudes in assessment pro-slim/anti-fat bias. Results from both tests indicated higher levels bias than revealed by measure. The IRAP data suggested that it was participants’ pro-slim rather anti-fat bias, which driving this effect. Explicit feelings towards overweight significant predictors behavioural intentions offering...
Background Previous research found that pre‐teenage ability to derive arbitrary ‘same’, ‘opposite’, ‘more’, and ‘less’ relations correlated with measured intelligence quotient ( IQ ) training this derived relational responding DRR skill produced substantial rises. Aims This study extended previous work by comparing the effects of (using strengthening mental abilities [ SMART ], an automated online protocol) a similar quantity in ‘Scratch’ computer coding. Sample Twenty‐eight children (13...
Social and healthcare workers have been shown to experience greater levels of illness, depression burnout as a result chronic workplace stress. The purpose this study was examine whether brief online ACT CBT interventions could reduce the stress in employees, while also improving mental health psychological flexibility. A total 42 individuals working within social professions were randomly assigned either 2-week or intervention. Recruitment undertaken internationally, although majority...
Derived equivalence relations, it has been argued, provide a behavioral model of semantic or symbolic meaning in natural language, and thus relations should possess properties that are typically associated with relations. The present study sought to test this basic postulate using priming. Across three experiments, participants were trained tested two 4-member word-like nonsense words. Participants also exposed single- two-word lexical decision task, both direct (Experiment 1) mediated...
Results from otological and audiological examination of 879 children are reported. A group 47 with bilateral otitis media effusion (OME) was compared those who were otologically normal (N = 355) to determine whether they differed in background characteristics, speech articulation, language or motor development, intelligence reported behavioral problems. The results showed that while the OME did not differ terms significantly disadvantaged articulation ability, verbal comprehension,...
This paper describes a longitudinal study of group children who had bilateral otitis media with effusion at age five and were compared normal ears that age. OME was defined as Type B tympanograms features by otomicroscopic examination A in both again confirmed otomicroscopy. Results are reported for hearing (ages 5, 7, 9, 11), intelligence (3, language development 9), speech articulation (5, reading attainment (7, behaviour problems 11). Children moderately high degree loss continued to have...
