[source] THE UNREFLECTIVE BONDS OF INTIMACY: HEGEL ON FAMILIAL TIES AND THE MODERN PERSONPHILOSOPHICAL FORUM, Issue 2 2006DAVID CIAVATTA First page of article [source] ,EVEN IF YOU'RE POSITIVE, YOU STILL HAVE RIGHTS BECAUSE YOU ARE A PERSON': HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE REPRODUCTIVE CHOICE OF HIV-POSITIVE PERSONSDEVELOPING WORLD BIOETHICS, Issue 1 2008LESLIE LONDON ABSTRACT Global debates in approaches to HIV/AIDS control have recently moved away from a uniformly strong human rights-based focus. Public health utilitarianism has become increasingly important in shaping national and international policies. However, potentially contradictory imperatives may require reconciliation of individual reproductive and other human rights with public health objectives. Current reproductive health guidelines remain largely nonprescriptive on the advisability of pregnancy amongst HIV-positive couples, mainly relying on effective counselling to enable autonomous decision-making by clients. Yet, health care provider values and attitudes may substantially impact on the effectiveness of nonprescriptive guidelines, particularly where social norms and stereotypes regarding childbearing are powerful, and where providers are subjected to dual loyalty pressures, with potentially adverse impacts on rights of service users. Data from a study of user experiences and perceptions of reproductive and HIV/AIDS services are used to illustrate a rights analysis of how reproductive health policy should integrate a rights perspective into the way services engage with HIV-positive persons and their reproductive choices. The analysis draws on recognised tools developed to evaluate health policies for their human rights impacts and on a model developed for health equity research in South Africa to argue for greater recognition of agency on the part of persons affected by HIV/AIDS in the development and content of policies on reproductive choices. We conclude by proposing strategies that are based upon a synergy between human rights and public health approaches to policy on reproductive health choices for persons with HIV/AIDS. [source] EXTENDING SOCIAL DISORGANIZATION THEORY: A MULTILEVEL APPROACH TO THE STUDY OF VIOLENCE AMONG PERSONS WITH MENTAL ILLNESSES,CRIMINOLOGY, Issue 4 2000ERIC SILVER Prior studies of violence among individuals with mental illnesses have focused almost exclusively on individual-level characteristics. In this study, I examine whether the structural correlates of neighborhood social disorganization also explain variation in violence. I use data on 270 psychiatric patients who were treated and discharged from an acute inpatient facility combined with tract-level data from the 1990 U.S. Census. I find that living in a socially disorganized neighborhood increased the probability of violence among the sample, an effect that was not mediated by self-reported social supports. Implications for future research in the areas of violence and mental illness are discussed.

[source] Independent benefits of contact and friendship on attitudes toward homosexuals among authoritarians and highly identified heterosexualsEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY, Issue 4 2009Gordon Hodson Although intergroup contact is generally associated with positive intergroup attitudes, little is known about whether individual differences moderate these relations, or how contact might operate among prejudice-prone individuals. The present investigation explores Person,×,Contact and Person,×,Friendship interaction patterns among heterosexual university students. As expected, the positive relations of right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) and heterosexual identification with prejudice against homosexuals were weakened when participants reported increased contact, more positive contact, direct (personal) friendships, or indirect friendships (i.e., ingroup friends with outgroup friends) with homosexuals. These patterns held after controlling statistically for each person or situation variable. Contact and friendship exerted smaller or negligible effects among low authoritarians or low identifiers. Tests of indirect effects revealed that among high authoritarians or high identifiers, contact and friendship exerted influence on attitudes through group-level perceptions that homosexuals promote societal values and through increased self,other overlap with gay friends, each otherwise resisted by these individuals. Overall these results suggest that: (a) intergroup contact and intergroup friendship are related but distinct constructs; and (b) past findings underestimate contact effects by collapsing across levels of personal biases.

Werbel Given an increased emphasis on work teams in organizations, it is important to select applicants based on their ability to make contributions to a given work team. This paper proposes that person,group fit should be useful to select applicants for work teams and suggests that effective use of person,group fit will create both more cohesive work units and more effectively functioning work units. It proposes ways to make valid and reliable assessments of person,group fit that could be used to minimize bias in the selection process. Finally, it addresses several implications of using the person,group fit paradigm for human resource management practice. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

VANCOUVER [source] Mother,Infant Person- and Object-Directed Interactions in Latino Immigrant Families: A Comparative ApproachINFANCY, Issue 4 2008Linda R. Cote Cultural variation in durations, relations, and contingencies of mother,infant person-and object-directed behaviors were examined for 121 nonmigrant Latino mother,infant dyads in South America, Latina immigrants from South America and their infants living in the United States, and European American mother,infant dyads. Nonmigrant Latina mothers and infants engaged in person-directed behaviors longer than Latino immigrant or European American mothers and infants. Mother and infant person-directed behaviors were positively related; mother and infant object-related behaviors were related for some cultural groups but not others. Nearly all mother and infant behaviors were mutually contingent. Mothers were more responsive to infants' behaviors than infants were to mothers. Some cultural differences in responsiveness emerged. Immigrant status has a differentiated role in mother,infant interactions. [source] A Conceptualisation of Emotion within Art and Design Education: A Creative, Learning and Product-Orientated Triadic SchemaINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ART & DESIGN EDUCATION, Issue 2 2007David Spendlove There is a resurgence of interest in the powerful concept of emotion in current educational policy and practice. This article calls for the recognition and conceptualisation of a triadic schema for theorising the location of emotion within a creative educational experience. The schema represents emotion within three domains within current practice: Person, Process and Product. The principal focus of the article is pupils aged 5-16 and consideration is given to the application of the conceptualised schema within art and design education as represented by the national curriculum statement of importance. The central hypothesis of the work is that greater recognition of an emotional dimension within a triadic schema - developing emotional capacity in students to engage in a creative process (person); stimulating emotional engagement through appropriate learning contexts (process) and facilitating the emotional interfacing with outcomes (product) - will help conceptualise the powerful interrelationship between emotion, creativity and learning. Based upon an extensive synthesised literature review a schema, developed through abductive reasoning and grounded theory, ultimately conceptualises the overarching theme of emotion within a creative, learning and product-orientated experience within the primary and secondary stages of England's education system. [source] What do People Want from their Jobs?INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SELECTION AND ASSESSMENT, Issue 1 2010The Big Five, core self-evaluations, work motivation If people are differentially motivated on the basis of individual differences, this implies important practical consequences with respect to staffing decisions and the selection of the right motivational techniques for managers. In two different samples (students facing graduation vs full-time employees), the relationships between personality traits and the preference for job characteristics concerning either extrinsic (job environment) or intrinsic job features (work itself) were investigated. Two personality traits [openness to experience and core self-evaluations (CSE)] were consistently found to be positively related to the preference concerning work characteristics, and CSE showed incremental validity with regard to intrinsic work motivation factors (e.g., experienced meaningfulness, autonomy). Furthermore, age was differentially linked to those job characteristics. The results are discussed with regards to the optimal Person,Job Fit and the practical utility of the personality constructs.

Bartels MD First page of article [source] Why Is Such a Smart Person Like You Smoking?JOURNAL OF APPLIED BIOBEHAVIORAL RESEARCH, Issue 3 2005Using Self-Affirmation to Reduce Defensiveness to Cigarette Warning Labels When researchers communicate the negative health risks of smoking, smokers are likely to minimize such effects. This experiment addressed a way to reduce this defensiveness: allowing smokers to affirm aspects of the self. Smokers (n= 100) and nonsmokers (n= 30) viewed eight health-warning messages about smoking. Smokers were randomly assigned to view (a) warnings without a self-affirmation manipulation, (b) warnings after a self-affirmation manipulation, or (c) warnings that had a positive self-statement attached to it. Analyses indicated that compared to nonsmokers, no-affirmation smokers rated the warning messages as: (a) communicating less serious consequences, (b) less accurate, and (c) less likely to influence smokers. However, compared to no-affirmation smokers, smokers who affirmed the self were no more likely to rate the messages as serious, accurate, or effective. These data suggest that affirming the self before, or using a self-affirmation within a warning message may not encourage smokers to be more accepting of risk information. [source] Training the Scientists and Engineers of Tomorrow: A Person-Situation Approach,JOURNAL OF APPLIED SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY, Issue 2 2001Susan E. Cross The United States may face a shortage of well-trained scientists and engineers in the near future. This prospective study examined the issue of women's low rates of participation in these fields from a Person × Situation perspective, focusing on the early years of graduate school. Although men and women were similar in many respects (e.g., in Graduate Record Exam scores and grades), women evaluated their abilities related to intelligence lower than did men. There were no gender differences in students'perceptions of the academic climate. Longitudinal analyses revealed that students' self-evaluations and gender moderated the effects of perceived supportiveness of their academic departments on changes in well-being from the end of their first year to the end of their second year. [source] Changes in subgingival microflora and humoral immune response following periodontal therapyJOURNAL OF CLINICAL PERIODONTOLOGY, Issue 8 2001I. B. Darby Abstract Objectives: To investigate the effect of scaling and root planing (SRP) on the microflora and humoral immune response in adult periodontitis. Materials & Methods: Clinical measurements, subgingival plaque samples, gingival crevicular fluid and sera were taken from 4 sites in 28 adult periodontitis patients before and after SRP. Polymerase chain reaction was used to determine the presence of A. actinomycetemcomitans, P. gingivalis,B. forsythus, P. intermedia, and T. denticola. ELISA was used to investigate the systemic and local antibody titres to these organisms, and thiocyanate dissociation for the determination of serum antibody avidity. Results: SRP produced a good clinical improvement. On a subject basis there was little significant change in the microflora. However, on a site basis, there were significant reductions in P. intermedia, B. forsythus and T. denticola. There was little change in systemic and local antibody titres following SRP, although there was a significant reduction in antibody avidity to P. gingivalis and P. intermedia Conclusion: Post-therapy clinical improvement was associated with a reduction in bacterial prevalence, but statistical significance was only reached at a site level and this microbial reduction was not significant for all organisms. No significant post-therapy effects on the humoral immune response were noted other than a reduced antibody avidity to P. gingivalis and P. intermedia. The lack of a clear pattern in the humoral immune response may reflect a failure of the host response to produce adequate levels of biologically functional antibodies, and complex interactions between the subgingival flora and the host response. Zusammenfassung Ziele: Untersuchung des Effektes von Scaling und Wurzelglättung (SRP) auf die Mikroflora und menschliche Immunantwort bei der Erwachsenen-Parodontitis. Material und Methoden: Klinische Messungen, subgingivale Plaqueproben, gingivale Sulkusflüssigkeit und Serum wurden von 4 Flächen bei 28 Patienten mit Erwachsenen-Parodontitis vor und nach SRP aufgenommen. Die Polymerase-Ketten-Reaktion wurde genutzt, um die Präsenz von A. actinomycetemcomitans, P. gingivalis, B. forsythus, P. intermedia und T. denticola zu bestimmen. ELISA wurde für die Bestimmung der systemischen und lokalen Antikörpertiter gegen diese Organismen genutzt. Die Thiocyanat-Dissoziation wurde für die Bestimmung der Serumantikörperaktivitart genutzt. Ergebnisse: SRP erbrachte eine gute klinische Verbesserung. Auf der Basis der Person gab es eine geringe signifikante Veränderung der Mikroflora. Jedoch gab es auf der Basis der Fläche eine signifikante Reduktion von P. intermedia, B. forsythus und T. denticola. Geringe Veränderungen in den systemischen und lokalen Antikörpertitern in der Folge von SRP waren zu beobachten, obwohl eine signifkante Reduktion der Antikörperaktivität zu P. gingivalis und P. intermedia vorhanden war. Schlußfolgerung: Die posttherapeutischen klinischen Verbesserungen waren mit einer Reduktion der bakteriellen Prävalenz verbunden, die statistische Signifikanz wurde aber nur auf der Basis der Fläche erreicht, und diese mikrobielle Reduktion war nicht signifikant für alle Organismen. Keine signifikanten posttherapeutischen Effekte auf die menschliche Immunantwort wurden außer einer reduzierten Antikörperaktivität zu P. gingivalis und P. intermedia beobachtet. Der Mangel in einem klaren Muster in der menschlichen Immunantwort könnte einen Fehler in der Wirtsantwort zur Produktion adäquater Level von biologisch funktionellen Antikörpern und komplexen Interaktionen zwischen der subgingivalen Flora und der Wirtsantwort reflektieren. Résumé But: L'objectif de cette étude est de rechercher les effets du détartrage et du surfaçage radiculaire (SRP) sur la microflore et la réponse immunitaire humorale chez des patients atteints de parodontite de l'adulte. Méthodes: Les mesures cliniques, les échantillons de plaque sous-gingivale, le fluide gingivale et le serum ont été prélevés sur 4 sites chez 28 patients atteints de parodontite de l'adulte avant et après SRP. La réaction de polymérase en chaine a été utilisé pour déterminer la présence de Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Bacteroides forsythus, Prevotella intermedia et Treponema denticola. Le test ELISA a été utilisé pour rechercher les titres d'anticorps locaux et systèmiques vis à vis de ces organismes, et la dissociation au thiocyanate a été utilisée pour la détermination de l'avidité des anticorps sériques. Résultats: SRP entrainait une bonne amélioration clinique. Individuellement par patient, il y avait peu de modifications de la microflore. Cependant, en ce qui concerne les sites, il y avait des réductions significatives de Prevotella intermedia, Bacteroides forsythus et Treponema denticola. Il y avait peu de changements pour les titres d'anticorps systèmiques et locaux suite au SRP, bien que l'on observait une réduction significative de l'avidité des anticorps envers Porphyromonas gingivalis et Prevotella intermedia. Conclusions: L'amélioration clinique consécutive au traitement était associée avec une réduction de la prévalence bactérienne, mais une signification statistique n'était obtenue que pour les sites, et cette réduction microbienne n'était pas significative pour tous les organismes. Suite au traitement, aucun effet significatif sur la réponse immunitaire humorale n'était mis en évidence, en dehors de la diminution de l'avidité des anticorps vis à vis de Porphyromonas gingivalis et Prevotella intermedia. L'absence de caractéristiques nettes de la réponse immunitaire humorale pourrait reflèter l'échec de la réponse de l'hôte à produire des niveaux suffisants d'anticorps biologiquement fonctionnels, et également les interactions complexes entre la flore sous-gingivale et cette réponse de l'hôte. [source] The Spiral of Silence and Fear of IsolationJOURNAL OF COMMUNICATION, Issue 3 2007Kurt Neuwirth This research explores the relationship between fear of isolation and allied concepts derived from the communication apprehension (CA) literature,CA-trait and CA-state,on opinion expression. The study took place during the final run-up to the Fall 2002 U.S. Congressional elections, and the research topic focused on the debate surrounding the possibility of the United States invading Iraq. The results suggest that (a) CA-trait, CA-state, and fear of isolation are empirically distinct; (b) these constructs differentially predict opinion expression; and (c) customary ways of assessing opinion expression in past research likely have underestimated conformity effects. Résumé Une solution structurelle aux dilemmes de communication dans une communauté virtuelle Dans un contexte de communication multivoque comme celui d'une communauté virtuelle, les individus peuvent être fortement tentés de profiter des contributions des autres tout en s,abstenant eux-mêmes de contribuer, ce qui en définitive mènerait à l'effondrement de la communauté. Afin de trouver une solution structurelle au « dilemme de communication », cette étude a comparé le rendement de deux structures de communication : l,une fondée sur les réseaux interpersonnels (NEX)(p. ex. les blogues) et l'autre s,appuyant sur un babillard électronique public (GEX). Dans le cadre d'une expérience longitudinale inter-sujets de 2 x 2 x 2, il est apparu que de changer GEX pour NEX pourrait augmenter le nombre de contributions faites par des individus. De plus, il fut observé que NEXétait une structure efficace pour la communication N personnes, particulièrement lorsqu,un grand nombre d'individus étaient impliqués. Les conclusions laissent entendre que la motivation incitant à coopérer d,un individu est fonction de la structure incitative d'une forme particulière d'échange d,information, ce qui signifie que de modifier la forme de l'échange peut être une solution possible aux dilemmes de communication dans les communautés virtuelles. Abstract Schweigespirale und Isolationsfurcht Vorliegender Beitrag untersucht die Beziehung zwischen Isolationsfurcht und aus der Literatur zur Kommunikationsangst (KA) hergeleiteten verwandten Konzepten (KA-Persönlichkeitsmerkmal und KA-Zustand) in Bezug auf die Meinungsäußerung einer Person. Die Studie wurde während der Hauptphase der U.S.-amerikanischen Kongresswahlen im Herbst 2002 durchgeführt und fokussierte die Debatte um die Möglichkeit des Einmarsches amerikanischer Truppen in den Irak. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass 1) KA-Persönlichkeitsmerkmal, KA-Zustand und Isolationsangst empirisch abgrenzbar sind, 2) diese Konstrukte Meinungsäußerung auf verschiedene Weise vorhersagen und 3) die klassische Art und Weise der Erfassung von Meinungsäußerungen in der Forschung bislang Konformitätseffekte unterschätzt hat. Resumen El Espiral del Silencio y el Miedo al Aislamiento Esta investigación explora la relación entre el Miedo al Aislamiento y conceptos aliados derivados de la literatura sobre Aprehensión Comunicacional (CA) --CA-como Rasgo y CA-como Estado,en la expresión de la opinión. El estudio se llevó a cabo durante la última ronda en las elecciones para el Congreso en el Otoño del 2002 y el tema de investigación se enfocó en el debate alrededor de la posibilidad de que los Estados Unidos invadieran Irak. Los resultados sugieren que 1) CA-como Rasgo, CA-como Estado, y el Miedo al Aislamiento son empíricamente distintos; 2) estos constructores predicen la expresión de opiniones en forma diferencial; y 3) las formas habituales de evaluar la expresión de opinión en investigaciones anteriores han probablemente subestimado los efectos de conformidad.

Aponte Drexel University's Couple and Family Therapy Department recently introduced a formal course on training the person of a therapist. The course is based on Aponte's Person-of-the-Therapist Training Model that up until now has only been applied in private, nonacademic institutes with postgraduate therapists. The model attempts to put into practice a philosophy that views the full person of therapists, and their personal vulnerabilities in particular, as the central tool through which therapists do their work in the context of the client,therapist relationship. This article offers a description of how this model has been tested with a group of volunteer students, and subsequently what had to be considered to formally structure the training into the Drexel curriculum. [source] Towards Finding the Person in the Data of PersonalityJOURNAL OF PERSONALITY, Issue 3 2003Stephen G. West This article is based on an address given on the occasion of receiving the 2000 Henry A. Murray award. The article presents a glimpse of my life story in personality and contributions to the field. These are placed in the context of observations about the recent history and sociology of the field. I outline some perspectives on the data that are collected and missing in personality research as well as the analyses that are conducted and those that are not conducted. These considerations identify both some persisting limitations in personality research and alternative analytic approaches that may prove useful in framing and answering new questions. Of particular promise are intensive studies that allow researchers to maintain a clear focus on the individual person. [source] Finding the Person in Personal RelationshipsJOURNAL OF PERSONALITY, Issue 6 2002Harry T. Reis ABSTRACT The search for dispositional factors that influence the course and conduct of close relationships has long and popular roots. No cogent theory of interpersonal processes would deny that dispositional factors matter, and, furthermore, both scholarly and lay analyses often emphasize them. Although existing research has made progress in understanding how dispositions affect behavior in ongoing relationships, when all is said and done, this progress has been modest. In this paper, we discuss several interlocking theoretical and methodological principles that may facilitate movement to the next (and more sophisticated) generation of theory and research. We draw particularly on interdependence theory to discuss the concepts of relationship and persons-in-relationship. Central to our analysis is the principle that interaction in relationships is an inherently dynamic, temporal, and thoroughly interdependent process that cannot be properly understood from examination of the static, global dispositions of one of its members. To provide grounding for our analysis, we also discuss several specific implications of these concepts for the conduct of research seeking to understand personality in relationships.

Three hundred and eighteen research projects completed by 205 project leaders in the 3 years were classified into Unsworth's four creativity types along two dimensions: (1) whether the research addressed an open- or closed-ended problem and (2) whether the project was assigned or actively sought by the researcher. Each researcher's personal traits were assessed using Myers,Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and Kirton's Adaptor,Innovator Scale (KAI). Results show that researchers with a conforming, feeling, or judging-type cognition performed better with assigned projects for solving closed problems. Those with an originality and intuitive-type cognition performed better on self-initiated projects for solving open-ended problems. Researchers with sensing-type cognition performed better with assigned projects for solving open-ended questions. Thus, a careful match between a researcher's cognitive type and the task demand of project is important for R&D management. [source] Justifiability to Each PersonRATIO, Issue 4 2003Derek Parfit First page of article [source] The Trinitarian Metaphysics of Jonathan Edwards and Nicolas MalebrancheTHE HEYTHROP JOURNAL, Issue 2 2002Jasper Reid This paper explores both the striking similarities and also the differences between Jonathan Edwards and Nicolas Malebranche's philosophical views on the Holy Trinity and, in particular, the ways in which they both gave important roles to specific Persons of the Trinity in the various different branches of their respective metaphysical systems,ontological, epistemological and ethical. It is shown that Edwards and Malebranche were in very close agreement on ontological questions pertaining to the Trinity, both with respect to the internal, triune nature of the divine substance (characterising the Three Persons as the divine power, as the consubstantial idea of God which was generated as He eternally reflected on Himself, and as the mutual love which proceeded between the Father and this idea), and also with respect to the various roles these Three Persons played in the creation of the world. In epistemology, Malebranche postulated an illuminating union between the mind of man and the divine Word, insisting on an absolutely direct involvement of the Second Person in all human cognition, both intellectual and sensible. On this point Edwards did differ, endorsing instead an empiricist epistemology which left no room for such a direct union with the Word. However, when it came to ethics, Edwards and Malebranche both gave the Third Person an utterly central role, postulating much the same kind of union as Malebranche alone had postulated in the epistemological case, only now between the will of man and the Holy Spirit.
