Perceived Consequences (perceived + consequence)
Selected AbstractsA Qualitative Study on the Perceived Consequences of Poverty: Introducing Consequential Attributions as a Missing Link in Lay Thinking on PovertyAPPLIED PSYCHOLOGY, Issue 3 2009Ellen Loix In order to learn more about lay thinking on perceived consequences of poverty, a qualitative study was conducted using a combination of focus group interviews and in-depth interviews (n = 61). The transcribed focus group and in-depth interviews were then analysed. The results showed that lay people construct cognitive schemes about the consequences of poverty that are comparable to attributions about poverty. Accordingly, it is concluded that theorising on consequential attributions is a missing link in previous research on lay thinking about poverty. En présentant les attributions de conséquence comme un maillon manquant dans l'étude de la pensée de sens commun sur la pauvreté et dans le but d'en apprendre plus sur cette pensée et, plus particulièrement sur la façon dont le sens commun perçoit les conséquences de la pauvreté, une étude qualitative a été conduite en combinant des interviews par focus group et des entretiens en profondeur (n = 61). Ce matériel a été retranscrit puis analysé. Les résultats montrent que le sens commun construit des schèmes cognitifs à propos des conséquences de la pauvreté comparables aux attributions à propos de la pauvreté. En conséquence, on peut conclure que la théorisation sur les attributions de conséquence est un chaînon manquant dans les premières recherches sur la pensée de sens commun à propos de la pauvreté. [source] Posttraumatic stress disorder and the perceived consequences of seeking therapy among U.S. Army special forces operators exposed to combatJOURNAL OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ISSUES IN ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE, Issue 1 2010Jessica M. Espinoza Psy.D. The goal of this study was to ascertain the level of PTSD symptoms experienced by Special Forces Operators (SFOs) who have been exposed to combat and compare these rates to the PTSD rates of the general U.S. population and general military population. A secondary goal was to discover whether SFOs were aware that therapy was available to them through the U.S. Army and, if so, whether they would seek this therapy for PTSD. The last goal was to discover whether SFOs who chose not to seek therapy while still serving did so because they feared negative consequences. Data were collected from 68 SFOs who had been exposed to combat. Results indicated that SFOs are experiencing symptoms of PTSD at a rate that is higher than that of the general U.S. population and somewhat lower than that of the general military population. Also, results indicated that a large percentage of the sample would not seek treatment for PTSD due to perceived negative consequences. [source] Prediction of intern attendance at a seminar-based training programme: a behavioural intention modelMEDICAL EDUCATION, Issue 7 2000Rob J Boots Context The factors determining intern attendance at ,resident rounds' training programmes are not known. Aims This study aimed to use a behavioural model (the Triandis theory of social behaviour) to predict intern attendance at the resident round programme at a metropolitan teaching hospital. Subjects These included 109 interns in a large metropolitan teaching hospital, in the 1996 and 1997 cohorts. Methods Tabulated responses from a structured interview administered to 10 randomly selected interns were used to develop survey items related to the Triandis variables. Attendance was monitored using a sessional logbook and by self-report. Item analysis was conducted for each variable scale. Stepwise multiple regression models were constructed to predict attendance and intention. Results The average proportion of resident rounds attended was 43% (95% confidence intervals (CI) 40,47%) from logbook attendance, and 63% (95% CI 61,65%) by self-report. Cronbach's alpha for the subscales ranged from 0·62 to 0·91. Intern attendance was predicted by the habit of attendance and negatively predicted by facilitating conditions (AdjR2=0·26, P < 0·0001). The intention to attend was only independently predicted by perceived consequences (AdjR2= 0·19, P < 0·0001). Conclusions The establishment of resident education programmes within teaching hospitals requires attention to and modification of facilitating conditions that may allow improvements in attendance and in quality of the programme.
