Gratitude enhances the beneficial effects of social support on psychological well-being

ABSTRACT Receiving support during stress can have a positive psychological impact. Additionally, gratitude is associated with increased perceptions of support and strengthened social relationships. The purpose of the current study was to experimentally examine whether gratitude enhanced the benefits of receiving support during stress. One-hundred twenty-seven college students were randomly assigned to write about a gratitude-inducing experience or a neutral experience. Following the writing procedure, participants gave a speech during which time they were randomly assigned to receive support or no support. Data were analyzed using two-way factorial Analysis of Covariance. Results revealed a significant interaction between gratitude and receiving social support during the speech, such that individuals in the gratitude writing condition who received support perceived significantly less stress than individuals who did not receive support. These results provide more support for the growing body of literature suggesting that gratitude enhances the beneficial effects of support on psychological well-being.
The Functional Movement Screen’s Relation to Young Tennis Players’ Injury Severity. [La relación de la Evaluación Funcional del Movimiento con las lesiones de los jóvenes jugadores de tenis].

This study aimed to explore the relationship between functional movement screen (FMS) scores and injury severity in young tennis players. Additionally, we investigated the effect of the characteristics of the training programme on injury severity. During the annual testing and screening, we assessed 181 tennis players aged between 12 and 18. The Functional Movement Screen was used to measure multiple movement factors, to detect deficits in gross movement quality, to identify movement asymmetries, and to predict general musculoskeletal injury risk. The cohorts’ mean composite FMS score was 16.02 ± 1.98. Players scored higher in shoulder mobility and active straight leg raise, while the lower scores were obtained in the deep squat and rotary stability. We found that the FMS composite scores were higher for players who had not been injured and lower for players who had not trained or competed for >4 weeks due to injury. There was a significant association between the FMS composite score and injury severity. Namely, the group of players who had been injured for >4 weeks, reached the lower average FMS score (14.95). It was found that more hours of tennis practice per week increased, significantly, the injury severity, while more hours of fitness and conditioning practise decreased significantly the injury risk for the 6-months following the FMS testing.
Determinants of innovative behaviors among self-initiated expatriates

Purpose Expatriate mobility is increasing globally, in volume and diversity. A growing element of this overall increase has been the greater share of self-initiated expatriates (SIEs) working outside their home countries. In some host countries, SIEs make up a majority of the overall workforce. The purpose of this paper is to examine the determinants of innovative work behavior (IWB) of SIEs in one such country. Drawing upon leader-member exchange (LMX) theory and the conceptual framework of the resource-based view of career capital, the authors’ examine the influences of LMX, perceived innovation-reward, job knowledge and contextual knowledge on SIEs’ IWB. Design/methodology/approach The paper is based on the analysis of survey results from 229 SIEs based in the United Arab Emirates. The authors use hierarchal regression and an SPSS macro to assess the significance of the interaction effects. Findings Results indicate significant direct effects for LMX and perceived innovation-reward on SIEs’ IWB. Results also reveal significant interaction effects suggesting that the relationship between LMX and SIEs’ IWB is stronger when job knowledge is high and when reward for innovation is high. Originality/value This is the first study to examine the determinants of SIE’s IWB. This study investigates the effect of LMX, career capital differences (job knowledge and contextual knowledge) and perceived innovation-reward on SIEs’ IWB. This is also the first study to examine the interaction effects of LMX and individual differences (job knowledge and contextual knowledge) on SIEs’ IWB.
Beyond Parental Control: Designing Adolescent Online Safety Apps Using Value Sensitive Design

Parental control applications are designed to help parents monitor their teens and protect them from online risks. Generally, parents are considered the primary stakeholders for these apps; therefore, the apps often emphasize increased parental control through restriction and monitoring. By taking a developmental perspective and a Value Sensitive Design approach, we explore the possibility of designing more youth-centric online safety features. We asked 39 undergraduate students in the United States to create design charrettes of parental control apps that would better represent teens as stakeholders. As emerging adults, students discussed the value tensions between teens and parents and designed features to reduce and balance these tensions. While they emphasized safety, the students also designed to improve parent-teen communication, teen autonomy and privacy, and parental support. Our research contributes to the adolescent online safety literature by presenting design ideas from emerging adults that depart from the traditional paradigm of parental control. We also make a pedagogical contribution by leveraging design charrettes as a classroom tool for engaging college students in the design of youth-centered apps. We discuss why features that support parent-teen cooperation, teen privacy, and autonomy may be more developmentally appropriate for adolescents than existing parental control app designs.
Research on the Influence of Intangible Cultural Heritage on Art Design and Public Life

Art design is the figurative expression of culture with great cultural value. In addition to outstanding functionality and aesthetics, profound connotation and sentiment of culture are also essential to a satisfying design. Intangible cultural heritage is a distinctive component of Chinese culture. With expressivity and artistry, it is seen as a significant reference and inspiration for art design and creation. As the deeper acquaintance with the intangible cultural heritage by the public, its influence on their daily life is gradually revealing. Therefore, full attention is worthy to be paid to the influence of intangible cultural heritage on art design and the public’s life. Keywords—art design; creative thinking; intangible cultural heritage; public life
The Situational Motivation Scale (SMS-15) for Children: Design and Preliminary Psychometric Properties Assessment

The aim of the article is to present the design and carry out a preliminary assessment of the psychometric properties of the Situational Motivation Scale SMS-15 for children based on Deci and Ryan’s Self-determination Theory. Three hundred children aged 11-15 (178 girls and 122 boys) took part in the validation study. The SMS-15 scale has satisfactory theoretical accuracy, internal consistency and reliability. Cronbach’s α coefficient equals . 84 for the subscales of introjected motivation and regulation by identification; whereas for the subscales of intrinsic motivation, external regulation and amotivation it equals . 82.
Unnatural Phonology: A Synchrony-Diachrony Interface Approach

This dissertation addresses one of the most contested topics in phonology: which factors influence phonological typology and how to disambiguate these factors. I propose a new framework for modeling the influences of Analytic Bias and Channel Bias on phonological typology. The focus of the dissertation is unnatural alternations — those that operate in precisely the opposite direction from some universal and articulatorilyor perceptually-motivated phonetic tendency. Based on a typological survey of unnatural alternations and gradient phonotactic restrictions, I propose a diachronic device for explaining unnatural processes called the Blurring Process and argue that minimally three sound changes are required for an unnatural segmental process to arise (Minimal Sound Change Requirement ; MSCR). Based on the Blurring Process and MSCR, I propose a new model of deriving typology within Channel Bias. I introduce the concept of Historical Probabilities of Alternations (Pχ) and propose a method of estimating Historical Probabilities based on the statistical technique bootstrapping. The proposed framework has theoretical implications. The existence of unnatural gradient phonotactic restrictions reveals that both categorical Optimality Theory and weighted-constraint frameworks with restricted Con undergenerate. To address this shortcoming, I propose a formal model of phonological typology that combines estimates of Historical Probabilities with results from the artificial grammar learning experiments. The dissertation adopts the Maximum Entropy model and introduces prior Historical Weights (wχ), which are derived from the Historical Probabilities. Prior variance and Historical Weights allow for a disambiguation between Analytic iii and Channel Bias influences on typology: both metrics are compared to the observed typology, which yields a quantitative comparison between the two factors. To estimate the contribution of Analytic Bias, I conduct an artificial grammar learning experiment that tests learning of a complex and an unnatural alternation. By combining statistical modeling of diachronic developments with experimental work, the proposed framework allows controlling for Channel Bias factors when testing the Analytic Bias influences and vice-versa and, in turn, provides quantitative means for disambiguating Analytic and Channel Bias influences on typology.
Why are Women Less Likely to Negotiate? The Influence of Expectancy Considerations and Contextual Framing on Gender Differences in the Initiation of Negotiation

According to social role theory, women are less likely to initiate negotiations and have lower expectancies about negotiation success because the feminine gender role is inconsistent with the negotiator role. However, gender differences should be amplified in masculine contexts (with even more inconsistency between the negotiator role and the feminine gender role) and reduced in feminine contexts (with more consistency between the negotiator role and the feminine gender role). We showed in Study 1 (N = 1,306 students) that negotiators’ expectancies about being successful in negotiations mediated the effect of gender on real retrospective negotiation behavior. In Study 2, an online scenario experiment (N = 167 students and employees), we found that the framing of the negotiation context (feminine vs. masculine) moderated the mediation effect. We provide implications for theory, practice, and research methods by unearthing mechanisms and moderators of gender differences in the area of negotiations.
The Collaboration of Human Resource Management and Line Management–An International Comparison

ABSTRACT The extant research advocates for the strategic integration of human resource management (HRM) in managerial decision making to foster firm performance. However, the empirical evidence of a stronger strategic integration of HRM is still limited, especially in terms of strategic guidelines such as a human resource (HR) strategy and international comparative matters. Drawing on responses from 588 German and US-based organizations and related to the new institutionalism theory, this study examines whether a HRM partnership (i.e., sharing responsibilities between HRM and line management) that represents a particular form of strategic integration of HRM is beneficial for organizations. In particular, we find international differences as a more pronounced HRM partnership increases employee turnover in the USA, whereas no significant changes are encountered in Germany. We further demonstrate that organizations located in the USA are more likely to have a formal HR strategy compared to those in Germany. However, this study can neither provide support for the direct effect of a HRM partnership on employee turnover nor of a moderation of this relationship through the HR strategy.
Prosodic features of stances in conversation

Stance—attitudes and opinions about the topic of discussion—has been investigated textually in conversation analysis, discourse analysis, and computational models, but little attention has focused on its acoustic-phonetic properties. It is a challenge, given the complexity of stance and the many other types of meaning that share the same acoustic channels, all overlaid on the lexical and syntactic material of the message. With the goal of identifying automatically-extractable, acoustically-measurable correlates of stance-taking, this work identified signals of stance in prosodic measures of fundamental frequency, intensity, and duration in an audio corpus of dyads engaged in collaborative conversational tasks designed to elicit frequent changes in stance at varying levels of involvement. The study examined over 32,000 stressed vowels in content words spoken by 40 American English-speakers and found that f0 and intensity increased with stance strength, longer vowel duration signaled positive polarity, and a combination of measures distinguished several stance-act types, including: general agreement, weak-positive agreement, rapport-building agreement, reluctance to accept a stance, stance-softening, and backchannels. These results contribute to the understanding of the acoustic-phonetic properties of the social and attitudinal messages conveyed in natural speech.
Firefighters’ job stress and the (un)intended consequences of relational quality with spouses and firefighter friends

For firefighters, there is reason to believe that relational quality with spouses and firefighter friends might buffer the negative effects of occupational stress both on and off the job. In this study, we examined the associations among firefighters’ relationship quality at work and at home, their job stress, job satisfaction, and quality of work life (QWL). We surveyed 428 male firefighters employed at 12 fire stations across Texas. All but one of our hypotheses were supported, as relationship quality with both wife and firefighter friend emerged as significant, positive predictors of job satisfaction and QWL, whereas job stress emerged as a significant, negative predictor of job satisfaction and QWL. These main effects were qualified by three, significant two-way interaction effects. Whereas the negative effect of stress on job satisfaction and QWL was buffered by relational quality with a firefighter friend, it was exacerbated by relational quality with a spouse. Nevertheless, when a firefighter has strong relational quality at work and at home, the effects of job stress are diminished.
Using Simulation Program to analysis Nursing performance ability of Nursing students after practical training

The study is an analysis of research processed by the nursing students working on nursing intervention on scenarios such as hypoglycemia and respir- atory distress patient using high fidelity simulator. The subjects are the nursing students that are currently in 3rd year in university. These students were to han- dle 55 cases of hypoglycemia and 70 cases of difficulty in breathing. The sub- ject group have gone through 1hours of education and were to experience self- education for a week. After this, their behavior in practice sessions was record- ed on video and reviewed. The collected information were analyzed by using SPSS 21.0. The subjects ability to nurse were measured with independent t-test. As a result of study, the subject with hypoglycemia has highest intervention rate and the subjects with difficulty in breathing had highest Focus Assessment. Al- so subject of hypoglycemia had the highest ability of nursing.
Rural Isolation – Can Computer-Mediated Communication Help?

Rural communities are often isolated and their inhabitants may suffer from one or more of the different genres of isolation, even leading to loneliness. This article explores the use of computer-mediated communication (CMC) as a tool for relieving isolation. A light framework is developed from the literature which associates the different genres and their associated characteristics of isolation with the possible usage of CMCs and this framework is examined, using semi-structured interviews, within a small tightly knit church community on a northerly island in the UK. The findings suggest that there is a place for visual CMCs for helping to alleviate isolation from family and close friends, but the (landline) telephone is still the most used CMC. Interestingly, email is seen as a more formal means of communication and is used less for personal communication.
Effects of Management Support, Team Member Support, and Job Status on Safety Climate and Employee Attitudes

ABSTRACT This study examined the impact of management and team member support on employee attitudes through the mediating effect of safety climate. Five hundred fifty-six physicians and nurses from a large teaching hospital in the eastern United States completed survey items assessing their perceptions of management support, team member support, and safety climate as well as job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Results indicated that while job satisfaction and commitment were directly affected by perceptions of management and team member support, these relationships were also partially mediated by safety climate. In addition, the results suggested that team member support contributed to the prediction of safety climate over and above the effect of management support alone indicating that multiple sources of support may be important in developing positive safety climates. The hypothesized moderating effect of job status was not significant. Implications of the results and suggestions for future research are discussed.
Lose Yourself in VR: Exploring the Effects of Virtual Reality on Individuals' Immersion

Virtual reality (VR) technology generates an interactive virtual environment (VE) creating unique users’ experiences. A central part of VR experience is being immersed into a VE. Immersion factors, such as technological and perceptual features, are described in detail in non-immersive VR settings. However, advancements in VR technology, such as head-mounted displays with high resolution and precise motion tracking systems, that improve interactivity within the VE are not yet adequately considered. We conducted twelve semi-structured interviews immediately after respondents played highly immersive games using state-of-the-art VR equipment to identify novel immersion factors in this setting. The findings yield eleven immersion factors across three categories: (1) physical and physiological aspects, (2) cognitive and affective aspects, (3) social interaction and shared experience. Within these categories factors named “shared experience” and “translating actions from physical to virtual reality” were found as novel immersion factors in the VR context.
Why Extended Time on Newstart is Unsuitable for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians Living with a Disability

ABSTRACT Many Australians living with a disability find themselves recipients of Newstart Allowance when applying for the Disability Support Pension (DSP). Newstart Allowance is designed as a short-term payment for people looking for work, with a lower fortnightly payment and limited medical and transport subsidies compared to the DSP. This paper describes the financial challenges of living with a disability while on Newstart Allowance. With a focus on the experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Indigenous) Australians from two regional towns, qualitative semistructured interviews and focus groups documented experiences of 39 community members and 21 medical and nonmedical service providers supporting clients living with a disability on Newstart Allowance. Four themes were identified: (i) living with severe financial hardship, (ii) challenges complying with the DSP application, (iii) being financially penalised for not complying with Newstart Allowance conditions, and (iv) supporting community members to manage severe financial stress. Although people living with a disability on Newstart were experiencing severe hardship and poverty, there was limited participation of Centrelink-employed social workers within their described experiences with Centrelink. We argue that social workers can work to humanise human service settings and potentially help to mitigate these financial challenges. IMPLICATIONS Indigenous Australians living with a disability experience severe disadvantage and poverty while living on Newstart Allowance. Social workers must be easily accessible at Centrelink customer service centres and to Newstart Allowance recipients to help coordinate service engagement. Newstart Allowance should be increased to ensure recipients can respond to cost of living pressures.
Latinos’ Intention to Seek Mental Health Services: A Cultural Adaptation of the Theory of Reasoned Action

Latinos are at unique risk for experiencing untreated mental illness. These men face structural, cultural and gender specific barriers that may inhibit their use of counseling services. The current study provided greater insight into the factors that positively influence Latinos intention to seek these services. Building upon previous research, the current bi-lingual study recruited participants from Northern Colorado. Using an empirically supported model for explaining human behavior, the influence of traditional machismo, caballerismo, and attitudes as they relate to Latinos intention to seek counseling services were examined. In addition, the current study included measures of psychological distress, acculturation and enculturation, as well as previous counseling experience, as these factors have been found to independently relate to ratings of intention to seek counseling. Results of the hierarchical regression analysis involved 142 self-identified Latino men which revealed that current psychological distress and attitudes toward seeking mental health services to be significant predictors of intention to seek counseling ratings. Although neither traditional machismo nor caballerismo were found to account for a significant amount of variance in intention ratings, both variables were significantly correlated with attitudes toward seeking mental health services as well as ratings of current psychological distress. Potential implications for the field of counseling
Double-blind reviewing and gender biases at EvoLang conferences: An update

A previous study of reviewing at the Evolution of Language conferences found effects that suggested that gender bias against female authors was alleviated under double-blind review at EvoLang 11. We update this analysis in two specific ways. First, we add data from the most recent EvoLang 12 conference, providing a comprehensive picture of the conference over five iterations. Like EvoLang 11, EvoLang 12 used double-blind review, but EvoLang 12 showed no significant difference in review scores between genders. We discuss potential explanations for why there was a strong effect in EvoLang 11, which is largely absent in EvoLang 12. These include testing whether readability differs between genders, though we find no evidence to support this. Although gender differences seem to have declined for EvoLang 12, we suggest that double-blind review provides a more equitable evaluation process.
