Involving caregivers in trauma-focused treatments for youth has been shown to result better outcomes, but it is not clear which in-session caregiver behaviors enhance or inhibit this effect. The current study examined the associations between during Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and cognitive processes symptoms.Participants were a racially diverse sample of Medicaid-eligible (ages 7-17) their nonoffending (N = 71 pairs) who received TF-CBT through an effectiveness...

Frequently, researchers in psychology are faced with the challenge of narrowing down a large set predictors to smaller subset. There variety ways do this, but commonly it is done by choosing strongest bivariate correlations outcome. However, when correlated, relationships may not translate into multivariate relationships. Further, any attempts control for multiple testing likely result extremely low power. Here we introduce Bayesian variable-selection procedure frequently used other...

Researchers commonly conceptualize forgiveness as a rich complex of psychological changes involving attitudes, emotions, and behaviors.Psychometric work with the measures developed to capture this conceptual richness, however, often points simpler picture dimensions in which takes place.In an effort better unite theory measurement, we evaluate several psychometric models for common forgiveness.In doing so, study people from United States Japan understand both non-close close relationships.In...

When people experience empathy for a needy stranger, efforts to help are often not far behind. But does actually

Daily communications between the ICU trauma patients' families and team are often limited due to unpredictable nature of subsequent patient admissions operative procedures. In order improve lines family-physician communication educate residents regarding family communication, our level I center instituted daily "Family Rounds" (FR). FR occur at same time every day, in patient's room. The purpose this study was determine whether valued scheduled FR, establish improved relationship, delineate...

In this paper we address the problem of selecting important predictors from some larger set candidate predictors. Standard techniques are limited by lack power and high false positive rates. A Bayesian variable selection approach used widely in biostatistics, stochastic search selection, can be instead to combat these issues accounting for uncertainty other model. present aid researchers facing common scenario, along with an online application...

What features of people's childhood environments go on to shape their prosocial behavior during adulthood? Past studies linking environment adult have focused primarily adverse features, thereby neglecting the possible influence exposure enriched (e.g., access material resources, experiences with rich cooperative relationships, and interactions morally exemplary role models). Here, we expand investigation environmental quality include consideration enriching relation prosociality. In two...

Although most people present themselves as possessing prosocial traits, differ in the extent to which they actually act prosocially everyday life. Qualitative data that were not ostensibly collected measure prosociality might contain information about dispositions is distorted by self–presentation concerns. This paper seeks characterise charitable donors from qualitative data. We compared a manual approach of extracting predictors participants’ self–described personal strivings two automated...

Self-reports of trait empathic concern suggest that women are more than men, while self-reports state empathy yield small, inconsistent sex differences. Researchers have inferred from this pattern differences in reflect measurement biases elicited by personality questionnaires but not reports emotion experience real time. However, need correspond to any one situation because measure at a higher level aggregation. Moreover, the hypothesis biased measures has never been empirically tested. We...

Empathic concern promotes prosocial behavior, but the effect of empathy is not same for everyone. Scholars have extensively mapped situational and personality factors that modulate empathy-helping relationship, only a few studies examined cognitive processes link with helping. Lockwood et al. (2016) found individual differences in online simulation (the deliberate intention to imagine what another person feeling) were associated rates at which people learned how benefit an anonymous other...

Recent theorizing suggests that religious people’s moral convictions are quite strategic (albeit unconsciously so), designed to make their worlds more amenable favored approaches solving life’s basic challenges. In a meta-analysis of five experiments and pre-registered replication, we find identity places “sex premium” on judgments, causing people judge violations conventional sexual morality as particularly objectionable. The sex premium is especially strong among highly people, applies...

Objective People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) are disproportionally exposed to a host of structural, community, and individual-level physical psychosocial stressors also termed ‘syndemic conditions.’ The current study aimed examine the association between experiencing syndemic conditions physiological stress response be associated bodily inflammation, including Interlekin-6 (IL-6) C-reactive protein (CRP) in PLWHA.Design Participants (N = 103) were recruited from public HIV clinic. They...

Empathy motivates people to help needy others. Does it do so by activating genuine concern, or byactivating more self-interested goals that helping others might enable them fulfill? Theempathy-altruism hypothesis claims empathic concern reflects a non-instrumental desire toimprove the welfare of person in need. To rule out alternative empathymotivates prosocial behavior first generating fear appearing selfish, Fultz et al. (1986)manipulated empathy for target using perspective-taking...

We review the logic of an evolutionary perspective on forgiveness, highlighting how insight into likely function forgiveness--solving adaptive problems related to acquiring and maintaining social relationships--has productively guided research theory. A combination experimental, longitudinal, cross-sectional, cross-cultural evidence supports claim that victims’ perceptions harmdoers’ relationship value exploitation causally influence whether or not victims forgive harmdoers. also nascent...
