DESCRIBING THE NEOCLASSICAL PSYCHE EMBEDDED IN STERNBERG'S TRIANGULAR THEORY OF LOVE
Authors: Diessner Rhett , Frost Nellie , Smith Titus
Published: May 2006

sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love was examined to identify the structure of the psyche implied in that theory. Sternberg's theory posits three components of human functioning to explain the phenomenon of love in close relationships: intimacy, passion, and commitment. Analysis
of these three components indicates that they align with a neoclassical model of the human psyche. A neoclassical psyche consists of at least three fundamental, irreducible capacities: cognition, affect, and conation. Sternberg's commitment component relies on the capacity for cognition
(and conation), the passion component is derived from conation (and affect), and the intimacy component is derived from emotional investment or the capacity for affect (and cognition). Therefore, Sternberg's overall Triangular Theory of Love ontologically presupposes a neoclassical structure
to the psyche.
CONSUMER BEHAVIOR IN SHOPPING CENTER CHOICE
Authors: Yilmaz Veysel
Published: May 2006

This study was designed to research factors which consumers consider when choosing a shopping center and to develop a suggestion model for shopping center choice. First a questionnaire about choosing a shopping center was formed. Then the questionnaire was given to 300 randomly chosen
consumers and collected on the next day. Two hundred and sixty-two fully filled out questionnaires were analyzed. Besides demographic questions, effective factors determining people's shopping center choice were asked for 17 items. Four models related to latent variables assumed to affect
choice of a shopping center were tested by using the LISREL computer program with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Features of materials sold and geographical location of shopping center play very important roles in choice of a shopping center.
A MODEL FOR RISKY DRIVING ATTITUDES IN TURKEY
Authors: Yilmaz Veysel , Çelik H. Eray
Published: May 2006

Different research traditions have attempted to explain individual differences in risky driving behavior and traffic accident involvement. This study was designed to improve a model for risky driving attitudes (RDA) and to understand the mechanisms underlying drivers' risk-taking
behavior in traffic. The questionnaire used in this study was composed of “the driver's behavior” questionnaire, improved by Reason, Manstead, Stradling, Baxter, and Campbell, (1990), and “the scales measuring attitudes and behavior” questionnaire, improved by
Ulleberg and Rundmo (2003). The questionnaire survey was carried out among 600 drivers. Analysis revealed that risky drivers' attitudes are related to factors such as obedience to speed rules, risk-taking tendency in traffic and positive attitudes towards traffic.
SELF-FOCUS, GENDER, AND HABITUAL SELF-HANDICAPPING: DO THEY MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN BEHAVIORAL SELF-HANDICAPPING?
Authors: Kimble Charles E. , Hirt Edward R.
Published: May 2006

This experiment examined the effects of public self-focus on individuals' behavioral self-handicapping tendencies. When faced with a threatening evaluation, a person may choose to self-handicap behaviorally. Men, more than women, and trait self-handicappers have been shown to self-handicap behaviorally. How do situational factors such as self-focus interface with these personal characteristics to affect such actions? Self-focus of attention was expected to make the self-evaluation implications of an upcoming performance more salient and to cause the self-focused performer to self-handicap behaviorally. Persons who were low or high in habitual self-handicapping were presented with an important intellectual evaluation and were allowed to practice for the upcoming test. Results showed that men self-handicap more by practicing less when they are self-focused, but women do not self-handicap under selffocus and self-handicapping instruction conditions. The implications of these findings for understanding the antecedent conditions of self-handicapping are discussed in the context of other recent work.
SELF-ESTEEM REGULATION IN THREATENING SOCIAL COMPARISON: THE ROLES OF BELIEF IN A JUST WORLD AND SELF-EFFICACY
Authors: Bègue Laurent
Published: May 2006

In this study, the author hypothesized that a high belief in a just world for Self (BJW-S), coupled with high perceived self-efficacy, would contribute to preservation of self-esteem in threatening social comparison. Participants (N=186) completed the General Self-Efficacy Scale
(Walliser, Schwartzer, & Jerusalem, 1993) and the BJW-S and BJW for Others (BJWO) scales (Lipkus, Dalbert, & Siegler, 1996). They were then given either an upward (unfavorable) or downward (favorable) social comparison in the academic field. The results suggested that BJW-S (but not
BJW-O) coupled with high self-efficacy contributed to maintaining self-esteem in the face of an unfavorable social comparison. However, in cases of low perceived self-efficacy, BJW-S acted in the opposite direction: when BJW-S was low, self-esteem was not affected by unfavorable social comparisons,
while it decreased when BJW-S was high.
WOMEN AND MEN TEACHERS' APPROACHES TO LEADERSHIP STYLES
Authors: Gunbayi Ilhan
Published: May 2006

This study aimed to find out how frequently teachers at compulsory-education level school – primary and junior high schools – perceived that they would adopt various leadership styles in their schools if they were the principal and if this frequency was gender related. Data
were collected from 321 teachers from compulsory-education schools by means of the Leadership Questionnaire (Bowers & Seashore, 1966) measuring four leadership styles – support, interaction facilitation, goal emphasis, and work facilitation. The questionnaire was translated and reliability
analyses for teachers in Turkey were carried out. On average the teachers scored at a very high level for leadership style in goal emphasis; and at a high level in interaction facilitation, support and work facilitation. The highest score was for goal emphasis, the lowest for work facilitation.
Men scored at higher levels than women did in all leadership styles. Suggestions are made about what should be done to achieve effective leadership in schools, to help teachers have a positive approach to more participative leadership styles, and to remove gender inequity among school principals
and leaders.
AN EXPLORATION OF IDENTITY RE-CREATION IN THE CONTEXT OF INTERNET DATING
Authors: Yurchisin Jennifer , Watchravesringkan Kittichai , Mccabe Deborah Brown
Published: May 2006

This research explored the identity re-creation process as it occurs via the consumption of Internet dating services. Informants were interviewed about how they use their posted dating profiles to explore aspects of their own identities and about the perceived impact that online and
offline feedback to these profiles have upon their identities. Informants' responses indicated that individuals can re-create their identities through the use of Internet dating services. Furthermore, online and offline validation of the identities presented in dating profiles seem to
have an impact on individuals' beliefs about themselves and their behavior in both online and offline environments.
SOURCES OF SOCIAL ACTIVITY OF PEOPLE WITH VISUAL AND MOTOR IMPAIRMENTS
Authors: Konarska Joanna
Published: May 2006

The goal of the rehabilitation process is the return of individuals with disabilities to active life. The results of these investigations, and of others conducted under the supervision of this researcher, point out the essential elements that release vital forces to enable these people
to lead a normal life. The numerical strength of the groups studied permits statistical conclusions and general statements about people with visual and motor impairments of both acquired and congenital types. Individuals with – and without – disabilities were compared for their
self-esteem, level of purpose in life, for system of values and methods of fulfilling their needs. The resulting differences, misfortunes and successes were found to be interrelated more with living conditions than with disability itself.
ATTACHMENT AS A PREDICTOR OF FRIENDSHIP QUALITIES IN COLLEGE YOUTH
Authors: Saferstein Jocelyn A. , Neimeyer Greg J. , Hagans Chad L.
Published: May 2006

This study examined the relationship between adult attachment style and friendship qualities in a sample of 330 undergraduates using the Adult Attachment Measure (Hazan & Shaver, 1987) and the Friendship Qualities Scale (Bukowski, Hoza, & Boivin, 1994). Results indicated that
securely attached individuals showed higher levels of transcending problems in their friendships and lower levels of conflict, while avoidant individuals showed higher levels of conflict and lower levels of companionship. Interactions between attachment style, sex of the participant, and the
sex of the friend (same/opposite sex) suggested the combined impact of these variables on specific friendship qualities.
ARE “GOOD SOLDIERS” SAFETY CONSCIOUS? AN EXAMINATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ORGANIZATIONAL CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIORS AND PERCEPTION OF WORKPLACE SAFETY
Authors: Gyekye Seth Ayim , Salminen Simo
Published: May 2006

This study examined the relationship between safety climate and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB). It involved a comparative analysis between workers active in citizenship behaviors and their colleagues who were passive or inactive regarding OCBs. Additional analyses also compared
job satisfaction, compliance with safe work policies, and accident frequency between the two groups. T-tests were used in these comparative analyses. A positive association was found between safety perception and OCBs: workers who actively engaged in citizenship behaviors had positive
perceptions of safety in their workplaces, and vice versa. Additionally, the group active in OCBs expressed more job satisfaction, were more compliant with safety management policies, and subsequently had a relatively lower accident involvement rate. The implications of these findings in the
work environment are discussed.
THE INFLUENCE OF FAMILY RELIGIOSITY ON ADOLESCENT SUBSTANCE USE ACCORDING TO RELIGIOUS PREFERENCE
Authors: Merrill Ray M. , Folsom Jeffrey A. , Christopherson Susan S.
Published: May 2006

The aim in doing this research was to identify whether or not family religiosity is protective against adolescent substance use (tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs) according to selected religious preferences. A cross-sectional survey of students ages 17–35 years in college undergraduate
general education classes at three large schools in Utah, May–July, 2003 revealed that the highest use of tobacco smoking and marijuana or other illicit drug use was among those with no religious preference. Catholics had the highest level of alcohol drinking during adolescence. The
lowest use of tobacco, alcohol, or illicit drugs was among Latter-day Saints (LDS or Mormons). Family church attendance and religiosity among parents during the participants' adolescent years were both significantly protective against substance use in LDS but not among those of other
religions or in those with no religious preference. LDS were most likely to agree that they chose to abstain or quit using tobacco, alcohol, or illicit drugs during their adolescent years because such behavior was inconsistent with their religious beliefs. LDS were also more likely to agree
that current substance use was inconsistent with their religion, thus family weekly church attendance and parental religiosity during the participants' adolescent years were associated with lower substance use among LDS.
MMPI-2/A ASSESSED PERSONALITY DIFFERENCES IN PEOPLE WHO DO, AND DO NOT, STUTTER
Authors: Treon Martin , Dempster Lloyd , Blaesing Karen
Published: May 2006

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2 and MMPI-A) was administered to 60 subjects who stutter (SWS) and to 60 matched subjects who do not stutter (SWNS). Computer scored results indicate a statistically significant (p = .017) greater average tendency toward
psychosocial-emotional disorder in SWS than in SWNS. Also, mean T-scores in 24 of the 93 scales/subscales assessed were statistically significantly higher for SWS than for SWNS, especially in personality characteristics related to schizophrenia, depression, healthy concerns-somatic
complaints, psychasthenia, anxiety-fearfulness, and self-doubt/selfdepreciation. Overall, these findings tend to support the tendency toward psychopathology (TTP) pole of the etiologic bipolar stuttering threshold hypothesis (Treon, 1995, 2002). In accord with this hypothesis, average
MMPI-2/A T-scores for SWS were within the normal range of psychosocial-emotional functioning.
ATTITUDES TOWARDS WOMEN: A STUDY OF GENDER AND ACADEMIC DOMAIN DIFFERENCES IN A SAMPLE OF TURKISH UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Authors: Öngen Demet
Published: May 2006

This study examined the effects of gender, academic domain and grade level on attitudes towards women in 626 Turkish university students. Undergraduates were drawn from Faculty of Education, the School of Health, Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, and Faculty of Engineering.
A Turkish version of the short version of the Attitude Towards Women Scale (Spence, Helmreich, & Stapp, 1973) was administered and factor analyzed. ANOVA results applied on total scores revealed only a significant main effect of gender on attitude towards women. Females reported significantly
more liberal views than males. MANOVA results applied on 6 subscales showed that females were more liberal in vocational, educational and intellectual behavior; freedom and independence; drinking, swearing and dirty jokes and marital relations. Dating, etiquette and courtship, and premarital
sexual behavior subscales indicated males' and females' views were not significantly different.
FREQUENCY OF PARALLEL, ASSOCIATIVE, AND COOPERATIVE PLAY IN BRITISH CHILDREN OF DIFFERENT SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS
Authors: Dyer Sally , Moneta Giovanni B.
Published: May 2006

This pilot study tested for socioeconomic status (SES) differences in the frequency of social play in British children. Participants were 40 children, 3–5 years old, selected in equal numbers from two nurseries, one in a high and the other in a low SES borough of East England.
Ten episodes of play from each nursery were observed, transcribed, and coded into Parten's (1932) play categories (parallel, associative, and co-operative play) obtaining a total of 282 instances of social play. The child's frequencies of the three types of social play were used
as the dependent variables in a SES × Gender multivariate analysis of variance. There was only one significant result, the main effect of SES for associative play, indicating that this type of play is twice as frequent in low as in high SES children. Findings indicate that there are
no SES or gender differences in the overall frequency of social play, but children of low SES have a significantly stronger propensity toward associative play.
SOCIAL INFLUENCE, DESIRABILITY AND RELATIONSHIP INVESTMENT: THE EFFECTS OF RESOURCEFULNESS AND SEXUAL PERMISSIVENESS
Authors: Perlini Arthur H. , Boychuk Tanya L.
Published: May 2006

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of social information about a prospective mate on evaluations of attractiveness, social desirability, and desired relationship. Men and women rated opposite-sex targets with (or without) peer information on the target's relative
level of resourcefulness and sexual promiscuity; that is, high resourcefulness/high promiscuity, low resourcefulness/low promiscuity, or no peer information. The findings indicated no effect of these variables on physical attractiveness; however, on ascriptions of social desirability,
men and women differed as a function of the social information condition. Likelihood of engaging in sex, dating and marriage with the target varied as a function of sex. Deeper levels of engagement (i.e., dating, marriage) were affected by the type of social information available to judges.
Results are discussed in terms of sexual strategy theories of mate preference.
Stickstoffreiche energetische Salze und ionische Flüssigkeiten
Authors: Singh Rajendra P. , Verma Rajendar D. , Meshri Dayal T. , Shreeve Jean'ne M.
Published: May 2006

Energetische Salze bieten zahlreiche Vorteile gegenüber herkömmlichen energetischen Molekülverbindungen. Die Verwendung von stickstoffhaltigen Kationen und Anionen trägt zu höheren Bildungswärmen und Dichten bei, wobei durch den niedrigen Gehalt an Kohlenstoff und Wasserstoff auch eine gute Sauerstoffbilanz erzielt wird. Da bei der Zersetzung dieser stickstoffreichen Verbindungen ein größerer Anteil von Distickstoff entsteht, sind sie vielversprechende hochenergetische Materialien für technische und militärische Anwendungen.

Energetic Nitrogen‐Rich Salts and Ionic Liquids
Authors: Singh Rajendra P. , Verma Rajendar D. , Meshri Dayal T. , Shreeve Jean'ne M.
Published: May 2006

Energetic salts offer many advantages over conventional energetic molecular compounds. The use of nitrogen containing anions and cations contributes to high heats of formations and high densities. Their low carbon and hydrogen content gives rise to a good oxygen balance. The decomposition of these compounds is predominantly through the generation of dinitrogen which makes them very promising candidates for highly energetic materials for industrial or military applications.

Published: May 2006

Chiral solvents are capable of inducing high enantioselectivities in asymmetric reactions after all. Functionalized chiral ionic liquids are particularly suitable for this purpose as they can interact strongly (e.g., through electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding) with substrates and/or intermediates. W. Leitner and co‐workers show in their Communication on page 3689 ff. that this concept can be used for the aza‐Baylis–Hillman reaction to achieve products with up to 84% ee.
Homo‐ and copolymerization of norbornene with styrene catalyzed by a series of copper(II) complexes in the presence of methylaluminoxane
Authors: Bao Feng , Ma Rui , Jiao Yuanhong
Published: May 2006

Vinyl‐type polymerization of norbornene as well as random copolymerization of norbornene with styrene was studied using a series of copper complexes‐MAO. The precatalysts used here are copper complexes with β‐ketoamine ligands based on pyrazolone derivatives and the molecular structure of complex 4 was determined using X‐ray analysis. All of these catalyst systems are moderately active for the vinyl‐type polymerization of norbornene and random copolymerization of norbornene with styrene. The random copolymers obtained suggest that only one type of active species is present. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and NMR indicate that the copolymers are ‘true’ copolymers. The copolymerization reactivity ratios (rNBE = 20.11 and rSty = 0.035) indicate a much higher reactivity of norbornene, which suggests a coordination polymerization mechanism. The solubility and processability of the copolymers are improved relative to polynorbornene and the thermostability of the copolymers is improved relative to polystyrene.

Effects of sublethal levels of tributyltin chloride on a new toxicity test organism, Liza saliens (osteichthyes, mugilidae): a histological study
Authors: D'Agati P. , Mansueto C. , Mansueto V. , Pellerito C. , Cangialosi M. V. , Fiore T. , Scopelliti M. , Pellerito L.
Published: May 2006

The histopathological effects of 10−7 and 10−9 M tributyltin(IV)chloride,TBTCl, solutions on different Liza saliens organs have been studied by light microscope. The fish were sacrificed after 3–4 h incubation in 10−7 M TBTCl solution or after 15 days incubation in 10−9 M solution. The observed histopathological changes were dose‐ and time‐dependent. The 10−7 M TBTCl concentration resulted in major damage to the gill epithelium, indicating that TBTCl primarily interfered with the respiration, osmoregulation, acid balance and nitrogenous waste excretion processes. After incubation in 10−9 M TBTCl solution the fish lived 20 or more days, but many of the organs were altered. Thymus atrophy, reduced spleen and altered head kidney were observed. These histological results indicated that TBTCl interfered with organ immunodefense and altered main metabolic pathways in Liza saliens. The presence of melano‐macrophage centers, only in TBT‐treated liver and spleen, can be considered a tool to facilitate, with other biomarkers, the detection of alterations by toxicants. Regarding the pancreas activity in 10−7 M solutions, it has been noted that, in the exocrine cells, very few zymogen granules were still present and the Langerhans islets were more altered. In 10−9M solution the exocrine pancreatic cells had no granules and the islet cells presented degenerative alterations. In addition, TBTCl, which altered the pancreas and gonad morphology, could again be considered an endocrine disrupter even if biochemical data are still necessary. Finally, the Liza saliens juveniles could be considered an interesting biological model for experiments with contaminants, due to their ease of adaptation to experimental conditions and food chain position.

Synthesis of oligosiloxane Q2M6 [Q = (SiO4/2)4, M = Me3SiO2/3] from trimethylsilylation of complex silicates
Authors: Caudillo G. Martín , Sandoval Carmen , Cervantes Jorge
Published: May 2006

Because natural silicates are potential sources of oligosiloxanes of the type QxMy, a collection of natural silicates of similar structure was used to obtain mainly Q2M6 oligosiloxanes by trimethylsilylation. The tailings from silver and gold flotation beneficiation provide an important silicate source. The main silicate phase reactive to trimethylsilylation was found to be anorthite. Other minerals containing silicates with a structure similar to anorthite (labradorite and augite) were also used as a Q2M6 source. This paper presents a full characterization of Q2M6 as well as information related to the residual solids from the TMS reactions. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Identification of the commonest cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator gene ΔF508 mutation: evaluation of PCR–single‐strand conformational polymorphism and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis
Authors: Kakavas K. V. , Noulas A. V. , Kanakis I. , Bonanou S. , Karamanos N. K.
Published: May 2006

In the present study we investigated whether single‐strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) could be used for the identification of the CFTR ΔF508 gene mutation, which is commonest in the Greek population. Using DNA from patients carrying this mutation, the appropriate 98 bp region of the CFTR gene was amplified by PCR and the reaction products were analysed by non‐radioactive SSCP‐electrophoresis using silver staining for band visualization and non‐denaturating PAGE to confirm the results. SSCP electrophoretic analysis has been optimized for several parameters in order to achieve the best resolution. Single‐strand DNA fragments gave a reproducible pattern of bands, characteristic for the particular mutation. Comparison of the obtain patterns with control samples allowed the detection of the ΔF508 mutation in the patients studied by SSCP assay and these results were confirmed by the independent method of PAGE. Although SSCP and PAGE can be used for detection of this mutation, PAGE resulted in more distinct patterns than SSCP. It is, therefore, proposed that PAGE can be reliably used for the detection and identification of such a mutation in patients provided that suitable controls are available. The applicability of PAGE to identification of the mutation in carriers, particularly useful for population screening, is also discussed. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Development of a Common Fully Stereocontrolled Access to the Medicinally Important and Promising Prostacyclin Analogues Iloprost, 3‐Oxa‐Iloprost and Cicaprost
Authors: Gais Hans‐Joachim , Kramp Guido Johannes , Wolters Dennis , Reddy Leleti Rajender
Published: May 2006

We describe new fully stereocontrolled syntheses of the prostacyclin analogues iloprost (2), the most active component of the drugs Ilomedin and Ventavis, and 3‐oxa‐iloprost (3), a derivative that is expected to have a significantly higher metabolic stability than 2 perhaps allowing an oral application. The syntheses are based on the same strategy and chiral bicyclic building block as used in the synthesis of cicaprost (4), the third most potent analogue that exhibits, besides prostacyclin‐like activities, antimetastatic activities. Reaction of the enantiopure C6–C13 bicyclic aldehyde 17 with Cl3CCOOH/Cl3CCOONa afforded trichlorocarbinol 24 which was converted via mesylate 25 to the C6–C14 bicyclic alkyne 9. The palladium‐catalysed hydrostannylation of alkyne 9 gave with high regio‐ and stereoselectivity the alkenylstannane 26, Sn/Li exchange of which afforded the E‐configured alkenyllithium derivative 8. Coupling of the C6–C14 building block 8 with the enantiopure C15–C20 building block, the N‐methoxyamide 7, gave the C6–C20 bicyclic ketone 6 in high yield without epimerisation at C16. The configuration at C15 of iloprost (2) and 3‐oxa‐iloprost (3) was established through a highly diastereoselective reduction of ketone 6 with catecholborane and the chiral oxazaborolidine 28 which furnished alcohol (15S)‐29. The highly stereoselective conversions of alcohol (15S)‐29 to iloprost (2) and 3‐oxa‐iloprost (3), which include as key stereoselective steps an olefination with a chiral phosphonoacetate and a copper‐mediated allylic alkylation, have already been described.
