A substantial portion of the literature investigating whether playing video games with violent content causes aggressive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors has relied on experimental exposure to game violence. To date, there is significant evidence suggesting these concepts are positively related, while other experiments demonstrate a null effect. potential explanation for contradicting findings failure account confounding such as performance experience. This was examined across two in which...

Objective Quality of life (QOL) is an outcome variable requiring measurement in clinical care or pivotal regulatory trial research. Current menopause QOL measures are mostly phase disease symptom inventories scores. Believing that should refer more to "sense well-being," we have developed the Utian scale (UQOL) strongly based on perception sense well-being as distinct from menopausal symptoms. Design A pool items sampling various aspects was developed. Peri- and postmenopausal women (n =...

Abstract One of the major applications factor analysis in chemical literature, self‐modeling curve resolution (SMCR), is covered this review, including a historical account methods derived from Lawton and Sylvestre's original method. Papers treating theory or SMCR are included. Qualitative quantitative described where appropriate.

On the basis of self-regulatory perseveration theory, we hypothesized that negative memory bias commonly found among depressed people is mediated by excess levels self-focused attention and thus can be reduced preventing from focusing on themselves. In Experiment I, nondepressed subclinically college students were induced to focus either themselves or externally then recall 10 events had happened during previous 2 weeks. Consistent with our hypotheses, recalled Ss more than under conditions...

Abstract In this article, we apply terror management theory to the operation of self-awareness processes. According theory, self-esteem consists accepting a cultural conception reality and believing that one is living up standards value inherent in conception. The function buffer anxiety results from awareness human vulnerability mortality our capacity for self-awareness. We argue leads comparisons with standards, behavior aimed at reducing any discrepancies are detected, because potential...

Background. Medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) are considered a common occurrence in medical settings, although definitions, methodologies and resulting prevalence rates for MUS vary widely between studies. Objectives. The objective of the present study was to characterize physicians' estimates MUS, including clinically significant demonstrate single how based on definition used. Methods. Two hundred thirteen physicians completed an online questionnaire regarding number patients who their...

Abstract The effectiveness of the stationary form discrete Kalman filter for state estimation in noisy process systems was demonstrated by simulated and experimental tests on a pilot plant evaporator. incorporated into multivariable, computer control system resulted good despite and/or measurement noise levels 10%. results were significantly better than those obtained when omitted or replaced conventional exponential filters. In this application standard reasonably insensitive to incorrect...

Abstract Objective: Quality of life (QOL) is an outcome variable requiring measurement in clinical care or pivotal regulatory trial research. Current menopause QOL measures are mostly phase disease symptom inventories scores. Believing that should refer more to “sense well-being,” we have developed the Utian scale (UQOL) strongly based on perception sense well-being as distinct from menopausal symptoms.

Abstract Evolving factor analysis is used to estimate the concentration profiles and spectra of Bi 3+ bismuth chloride complexes BiC1 2+ through BiCl formed by injection perchlorate into a flowing stream 1·0 mol 1 −1 HCl. The estimated compare favorably with previously published complexes.

The accurate diagnosis of non-cavitated occlusal caries is generally considered problematic. Induced fluorescence quantified by the DIAGNOdent device (KaVo) gives a reading from 0-99, which may help in diagnostic process. There some controversy around implication increased severity decay with readings. This vivo study assessed correlation depth and volume as it was removed traditional rotary handpieces readings determined sensitivities/specificities at different cut-off points. Included...

Abstract Two possible motives for sensation seeking behavior, escape from self-awareness and compensatory self-regulation, were investigated in two studies. In Study I a questionnaire was developed to identify the putative compensation suspected contribute behaviors. II factor structure of this new measure, called Risk Excitement Inventory (REI), cross-validated using confirmatory analysis, construct validity examined. Together these studies suggest that REI comprises reliable factors,...
