Given the relative lack of research on the comorbidity of anxiety disorders (ADs) and conduct problems (oppositional defiant
disorder, conduct disorder) in youth, we examine this comorbidity from both basic and applied perspectives. First, we review
the concept of comorbidity and provide a framework for understanding issues pertaining to comorbidity. Second, we examine
the comorbidity of ADs and conduct problems in both epidemiological and clinical studies. Third, we explore the artifactual
and substantive reasons for the comorbidity of these disorders. Finally, we discuss the implications of comorbidity for assessment
and treatment and provide recommendations for future directions in clinical research and practice. 相似文献
Here is a surprisingly neglected question in contemporary epistemology: what is it for an agent to believe that p in response to a normative reason for them to believe that p? On one style of answer, believing for the normative reason that q factors into believing that p in the light of the apparent reason that q, where one can be in that kind of state even if q is false, in conjunction with further independent conditions such as q’s being a normative reason to believe that p. The primary objective of this paper is to demonstrate that that style of answer cannot be right, because we must conceive of believing for a normative reason as constitutively involving a kind of rationality-involving relation that can be instantiated at all only if there is a known fact on the scene, which the agent treats as a normative reason. A secondary objective, achieved along the way, is to demonstrate that in their Prime Time (for the Basing Relation) Errol Lord and Kurt Sylvan do not succeed in undermining the factoring picture in general, only a simple-minded version of it.
ABSTRACT— Although early research implicated the amygdala in automatic processing of negative information, more recent research suggests that it plays a more general role in processing the motivational relevance of various stimuli, suggesting that the relation between valence and amygdala activation may depend on contextual goals. This study provides experimental evidence that the relation between valence and amygdala activity is dynamically modulated by evaluative goals. During functional magnetic resonance imaging, participants evaluated the positive, negative, or overall (positive plus negative) aspects of famous people. When participants were providing overall evaluations, both positive and negative names were associated with amygdala activation. When they were evaluating positivity, positive names were associated with amygdala activity, and when they were evaluating negativity, negative names were associated with amygdala activity. Evidence for a negativity bias was found; modulation was more pronounced for positive than for negative information. These data suggest that the amygdala flexibly processes motivationally relevant evaluative information in accordance with current processing goals, but processes negative information less flexibly than positive information. 相似文献
The purpose of this paper is to introduce the Special Issue on gender and sex diversity in sport organizations. In doing so,
we first provide a brief outline of the extant literature, emphasizing the research and theoretical developments at the macro,
meso, and micro level of analysis. Based on this framework and review, we allude to the communalities and intricacies in the
existing understanding of sex and gender in the sport workplace. Further, we highlight how the contributions in the Special
Issue address these voids and can serve as a catalyst to continued scholarly work in the area. 相似文献
Understanding what appear to be outdated creedal commitments can be enhanced by reading "realistic fiction." The creedal "conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary" is dramatically underscored by showing how a birth can be salvific in a sterile society as portrayed in The Children of Men by P.D. James. "The Resurrection of the Body" is underscored by miraculous healings after death in Graham Greene's The End of the Affair. 相似文献
The purpose of this study was to provide a reexamination of the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) News and the extent to which the publication provides equitable coverage to women and women's teams. To do so, 5,745 paragraphs and 1,086 photographs from 24 issues (12 issues in 1999, 12 issues in 2001) were coded for (a) gender, (b) size, (c) location, and (d) content. Results were then compared to a standard (i.e., the proportion of female athletes competing in NCAA intercollegiate athletics). Results indicate that coverage in the NCAA News was more representative, with respect to the amount of text and number of photographs, than it was in 1988 and 1991. 相似文献
African-American adolescents have the highest rates of asthma morbidity and mortality, yet there are few successful behavioral
interventions to improve illness management for this group. Mental health providers have an opportunity to expand their services
and impact by targeting adolescents with poor asthma management. We describe the adaptation of Multisystemic Therapy (MST),
an intensive, home and community-based treatment originally used with antisocial youth, for improving asthma management. We
present a case study to illustrate the treatment model. Feasibility was demonstrated with eight African American adolescents
with chronic, persistent asthma, suggesting that further evaluation of MST for youth with asthma and poor illness management
is warranted. 相似文献
Findings from the social psychological literature on egotism and in-group favouritism led to the hypothesis that residents of Sydney suburbs would overvalue the prestige of their own suburb as compared with ratings by non-residents, particularly in low-prestige suburbs. As part of an updating of the Congalton (1969) list of Sydney suburbs and their median social standing, 410 respondents selected from 26 Federal electoral districts each rated 160 of 480 suburbs on 1-to-7 Likert scales. In 12 of 30 local government areas (LGAs), residents rated suburbs in their “home” LGA significantly higher than non-residents did; this was also true when ratings were summed over all 30 LGAs. More importantly, 10 of these 12 LGAs were in the lower half of the rank order of mean LGA prestige. Discussion focusses on the conflict between the need to maintain self-esteem and group esteem in low-prestige suburbs and the images of these suburbs conveyed by the mass media. 相似文献
