This study investigated the daily hassles-eating behavior relationship and its moderators in a naturalistic setting.A multilevel diary design was used to examine day-to-day within-person effects of hassles on eating (N = 422), together with individual simultaneous influence potential moderating variables.Daily reports between-meal snacking, fruit vegetable consumption perceived variations food intake.The results showed were associated increased high fat/sugar snacks reduction main meals...
Policy decisions about opt-in and opt-out consent for organ donation are based on limited evidence. To fill this gap we investigated the difference between deceased living rates in systems across a 13 year period. We controlled extensive covariates estimated causal effect of with instrumental variables analysis. This panel study used secondary data analysis to compare donor transplant 48 countries that had either or consent. Organ were obtained over 13-year period 2000 2012. The main outcome...
Blood donation is described as an archetypal altruistic behavior, and recruitment/retention campaigns emphasize altruism. Here, a benevolence hypothesis for blood (both the donor recipient benefit) rather than altruism (only gains) proposed.Three United Kingdom-based studies contrasted altruism: (a) 6-month prospective study of behavior (Study 1: N = 957), (b) cross-sectional donors' intentions 2: 333), (c) experimental examining effect benevolent messages on willingness to help across high-...
Objectives. Monroe & Kelley (1995) have called for the urgent development of theoretically and psychometrically robust measures primary appraisal. This paper highlights problems with existing provides detail on psychometric Appraisal Life Events (ALE) scale. Design. Five studies are reported. The first two examine factor structure ALE scale confounding social desirability (Ns=260 344). Studies 3 4 test‐retest reliability (Ns=17 77). Finally, Study 5 examines relationship between other...
Background A long-standing issue in the health anxiety literature is extent to which a dimensional or categorical construct. This study explores this question directly using taxometric procedures. Method Seven hundred and eleven working adults completed an index of [the Whiteley Index (WI)] indicated their current status. Data from those who were currently healthy ( n =501) receiving no medical treatment examined three procedures: mean above minus below cut (MAMBAC), maximum eigenvalue...
Although suicidal behavior is a major public health concern, understanding of individually sensitive suicide risk mechanisms limited. In this study, the authors investigated, for first time, utility defeat and entrapment in predicting repeat sample attempters.Seventy patients hospitalized after attempt completed range clinical psychological measures (depression, hopelessness, ideation, defeat, entrapment) while hospital. Four years later, nationally linked database was used to determine who...
BACKGROUND: Increasing blood donor recruitment and retention is of key importance to transfusion services. Research within the social behavioral science traditions has adopted separate but complementary approaches addressing these issues. This article aims review both types literature, examine theoretical developments, identify commonalities, offer a means integrate single intervention approach.
