Abstract Within the framework of a cumulation/nesting theory for emergence adult psychopathology, typing structure alcoholism based upon variations in life course continuity antisocial behavior over childhood and adulthood was examined its ability to differentiate symptomatic history among alcoholic nonalcoholic men accessed by way population-based recruitment strategy. Results supported identified two types, one high on lifetime antisociality (antisocial = AAL), other low (nonantisocial...

The concept of a dichotomous versus continuous aggression model continues to be debated within the research literature. Impulsive/Premeditated Aggression Scale (IPAS; M. S. Stanford, R. J. Houston, C. W. Mathias, et al., 2003) is newly developed self-report instrument designed classify an individual's aggressive behavior as predominantly premeditated or impulsive. IPAS consists 30-items that are scored on 5-point Likert scale. This study used nonrandom sample convenience (N = 85) from...

Music listening interventions have been used for a variety of purposes including management acute and chronic pain. studies generally shown mild to modest effect on pain reduction. Here we hypothesized that combining therapeutic suggestions analgesia, comfort, relaxation with music could be feasible potentially achieve reductions in intensity suffering. In this feasibility study 66 adults, age 50 or older low back pain, were randomized one three conditions: (1) plus suggestion; (2) only; (3)...

Data from both mothers and fathers 319 families were used to investigate the internal psychometric properties, convergent validity, clinical research utility of Family Environment Scale (FES). Scales validated against 16 self-report variables 7 observational variables. Clinical was investigated by comparing antisocial alcoholic (AAL) families, non-anti-social (NAAL) nonalcoholic control families. Results identify 6 FES scales that fit a confirmatory factor analysis model well demonstrated...

To address the validity of a common procedure for assessing problem–solving communication behavior in marriage, this study investigated extent to which is influenced by difficulty topic being discussed. Married couples engaged sequence four videotaped conversations, and topics discussed each conversation were coded difficulty. Hierarchical linear modeling was used investigate both proximal distal influences on behavior. At level, did not change their response changes that occurred across...

Abstract Three types of negative emotion (hard, soft, and fear based) were believed to be integral functioning in close interpersonal relationships. Hard includes feeling angry, soft sad or hurt, fear‐based anxious threatened. Married persons (studies 1 3) college roommates (study 2) rated the extent which they would feel different emotions response a variety partner behaviors. Confirmatory Factor Analysis supported distinction between three emotion. Although hard highly positively...

Abstract Three studies investigated the function of 2 types negative emotion during interpersonal conflict. Hard includes feeling angry or aggravated. Soft sad hurt. In both Study 1 (including 236 married people) and 140 college students), participants recalled 3 different previous conflict episodes. third study, 77 couples were observed in 4 conversations, completed assessment sessions. Hierarchical linear modeling was used to investigate extent which change predicted corresponding behavior...

In a sample of 77 recently married couples, within-person variance in cognitive appraisal was expected to predict corresponding communication behavior during conflict. Three types were considered: expectancies partner understanding, negative communication, and attributions. Couples observed 4 different conflict conversations, completed 2 assessment sessions, appraisals assessed prior each conversation. Hierarchical linear modeling used analyze effects. Changes from one conversation the next...

This study of married couples investigated the short-term predictive validity partner-report and self-report scales Conflict Communication Inventory compared these with observer ratings. A sample 83 completed two problem-solving conversations. Self-report, partner-report, ratings from Conversation 1 were used to predict behavior in 2, as rated by a separate panel observers. The was extremely high indistinguishable Self-report also demonstrated good validity, albeit slightly lower than other...

A series of 3 studies using samples married or cohabiting people were conducted to develop a new scale for measuring resilience in couples. Resilience involves the extent which couples engage behaviors that help each partner cope during stressful life events. In first study, 525 responded open-ended questions, and qualitative analysis identified 49 different potential types behavior naturally experience notice their relationships. second 320 completed questionnaire assessing behaviors....

It addressed questions about how clearly couples express (encoding), accurately they recognize each other's (decoding), and well distinguish types of negative emotion. was theorized that perceive both: (a) event-specific emotions, which are unique to particular people on occasions, (b) contextual-couple reflect the additive effect emotions across different events both partners. Eighty-three married engaged in a...

The Treatment Adherence Perception Questionnaire (TAPQ) is a new, brief self-report instrument for assessing patient perceptions and attitudes regarding their own adherence to medical treatment plans. It includes 3 distinct scales: Perceived Behavior, Benefit, Burden. In contrast with existing measures, the TAPQ was expected have clear factor structure; good discrimination; assess types of perception, each which has different patterns association interpersonal, personality, motivational,...

The assessment of medical mistrust is essential to progress in understanding behavioral health outcomes such as vaccine hesitancy, treatment adherence, and patient-practitioner relationships. To address limitations existing scales a need for clear psychometric information, new Medical Mistrust Multiformat Scale (MMMS) was developed tested. Study 1 included 741 Black White participants with hypertension, one subsample used item selection second cross-validation. 2 234 lower-income diabetes or...

The validity of the Couple Resilience Inventory was tested using 102 married or cohabiting firefighters. This instrument measures types relationship behavior that often occur during stressful life events and are expected to be associated with an ability cope employment in a occupation. It includes scales measuring two nearly orthogonal dimensions, one dimension pertaining positive other negative. Firefighters completed online questionnaire included satisfaction, exposure traumatic events,...

When people who are married or cohabiting face stressful life situations, their ability to cope may be associated with two separate dimensions of interpersonal behavior: positive and negative. These behaviors can assessed the Couple Resilience Inventory (CRI). It was expected that scales on this instrument would correlate outcome variables regarding well-being, stress, relationship satisfaction. also effects for negative behavior larger than might curvilinear. Study 1 included 325 currently...

Two types of attribution believed to predict anger in married couples were investigated. Wives' was expected be predicted by event-dependent attributions, appraisals based on the unique aspects one's current situation. Husbands' schematic global sentiment relationship. Seventy-seven recently attended 2 assessment sessions, and each couple identified 4 incidents pertaining unresolved relationship issues. Participants rated their attributions prior a discussion for incident. They also...

The present study used confirmatory factor analysis to identify two dimensions of adult attachment, analogous infant attachment theory, using items derived from Hazan & Shaver's (1987) widely self-report measure. Subjects were 571 private university or community college students. Results indicated that a two-dimensional model best fits the data, three-dimensional slightly less well and was simply parsimonious, one-dimensional than adequately. same both married non-married adults....

These relationships remained even after controlling for state-like depression, suggesting...

This study used latent change score models to examine how couples make progress toward resolution when they experience conflicts. It examined why negative conflict engagement might sometimes predict increased resolution, and this process be moderated by relationship satisfaction. A sample of 734 people in heterosexual marriages or cohabitation relationships were asked identify an episode complete a questionnaire measuring types behavior, attributions, anger, soft emotion as well measures...
