Authors: Rodrigues Eliza Naiane , Alves Maria do Socorro Januário , Sobral Maria do Socorro Cecílio
Published: January 2019

Brincar é uma necessidade para o desenvolvimento da criança. Sendo assim, é o direito que ela tem, inclusive consta no Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente, no Artigo nº16. Muitos pensam que a criança brinca apenas para se distrair e por prazer, mas a brincadeira é uma grande necessidade, porque de acordo com a idade da criança, a brincadeira evolui e a própria relação da criança com o adulto se modifica. O presente artigo trata de uma pesquisa bibliográfica que busca identificar as bases teóricas que sustentam o brincar e o aprender no ensino aprendizagem  de crianças na educação infantil, fundamentada na reflexão de leituras autores renomados como Andrade (2013), Antunes (2013), Ramos, (2012), Raul (2007), Rolim, (2014) e RCNEI (2001), os quais discutem com precisão a temática aqui abordada. O objetivo deste estudo é demonstrar de que forma o brincar contribui com o ensino aprendizagem nas crianças na educação infantil. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de análises de textos de dos quais nos dá embasamento da importância da prática do brincar para a concretização do aprender. É preciso repensar em uma prática pedagógica que privilegie as brincadeiras  na formação integral da criança.

Published: January 2019

Entendendo a importância da água para o consumo humano, e os problemas fisiopatológicos que uma água não tratada pode ocasionar, a presente pesquisa faz uma análise, específica, da água do Rio Pardo no município de Cândido Sales – BA, com o intuito de verificar sua aptidão para consumo, já que parte da população consome a água diretamente do rio, sem tratamento da EMBASA (Empresa Baiana de Águas e Saneamento S.A.).A análise segue os parâmetros físico-químicos, a partir das definições de teóricos como Jarbas R. dos Santos (2007), Adaelson Campelo Medeiros (2016), Nivaldo Baccan (2001), Luis de Almeida Prado Bacellar (2010), de leis, resoluções nacionais, Ministério da Saúde, e outros. Os parâmetros são os de Condutividade elétrica; Potencial Hidrogeniônico (pH); Resistividade elétrica; Temperatura (ºC); Teor de sólidos dissolvidos (TDS); e Turbidez, além de Dureza Total vinculada ao Teor de Carbonato de Cálcio e Teor de Cloreto. As coletas das amostras foram feitas em três fases, entre os meses de agosto e novembro do ano de 2018, com o intuito de acompanhar a variação pluvial que varia do mês de maior seca (agosto) ao inicio das chuvas (novembro). Segundo as análises realizadas, os valores de pH, Resistividade elétrica, TDS e Turbidez se encontram dentro dos parâmetros exigidos pela legislação vigente. Não apresentando variações consideráveis entre as amostras. Apesar do despejo inapropriado de sedimentos no rio, em relação aos parâmetros físico-químicos, não houve alterações consideráveis na integridade da água, o que não necessariamente comprova que está apta para o consumo humano, pois não está descartada a possibilidade de contaminação ou ocorrência de outros problemas de saúde nessa população alvo. Para tal comprovação ainda seria necessária à análise do solo de margem, para determinar se esses problemas são de ocorrência periódica ou permanente, podendo ocorrer numa futura pesquisa.

Authors: Lacerda Jaciane Oliveira da Silva , Portela Fernanda Santos , Marques Matheus Santos
Published: January 2019

A contracepção de emergência também conhecida como “pílula do dia seguinte”, é um medicamento comercializado no Brasil utilizado principalmente, para evitar gravidez indesejada. É considerado eficaz para circunstâncias excepcionais, como a falha ou uso inadequado de outro método contraceptivo e em casos de abuso sexual. Entretanto, o uso prolongado e/ou irracional pode acarretar em grandes prejuízos à saúde da mulher. Metodologia: O presente estudo é descrito como uma revisão sistemática da literatura científica. Para composição da pesquisa bibliográfica foram utilizados artigos científicos mediante pesquisa eletrônica indexados em bases de dados como o Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (Lilacs) e Google Acadêmico. Resultados e discussões: Das mulheres usuárias do contraceptivo de emergência estudadas, a prevalência de idade foi acima de 18 anos, com predomínio da religião católica e frequentando o ambiente escolar ou possuíam ensino médio completo. Foi observado ainda a falta de conhecimento das usuárias sobre atuação da CE e os riscos relacionados ao seu uso indiscriminado. Conclusão: O estudo permitiu conhecer algumas características fundamentais de mulheres usuárias da pílula do dia seguinte, entretanto existe ainda, poucos estudos atuais, que trazem esta temática de forma ampla e que proporcione maiores descobertas sobre o uso indiscriminado do CE. Sugere-se o aumento de incentivos que envolvam programas de educação sexual e reprodutiva, assim como também orientação dos profissionais de saúde sobre o uso da contracepção de emergência.

Published: January 2019

As doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNTs), como o Diabetes Mellitus (DM), ocupam o primeiro lugar nas estatísticas globais de mortalidade: 73% das mortes em 2020 serão causadas por essas doenças. Como característica das DCNT, o tratamento do DM é complexo, pois depende diretamente da educação do paciente e de sua participação ativa no plano de cuidados para alcançar o controle glicêmico e prevenir complicações. Por meio do entendimento cotidiano dos participantes da equipe da Estratégia Saúde da Família, juntamente com o diagnóstico situacional de diversas regiões, o problema da baixa adesão está aumentando, portanto observa-se a necessidade de ampliar uma proposta de intervenção para transformar essa situação e, assim, obter resultados favoráveis no tratamento do Diabetes. A partir do estudo realizado, percebe-se que mais da metade dos pacientes entrevistados apresentou algum grau de dificuldade no grau de adesão ao consumo de medicamentos, o que poderia gerar diversas complicações. Portanto, é necessário planejar e implementar sistemas de educação continuada com os pacientes, visando esclarecer o estado de saúde de cada paciente, bem como a importância do tratamento realizado de forma adequada e contínua, além de permitir a conscientização dos profissionais de saúde. a promoção da autonomia, aceitação, conhecimento e adaptação do paciente em relação à sua própria doença.

Authors: Sousa Vitória Magalhães , Fogaça Larissa Costa Silva
Published: January 2019

: Apreciada por muitos consumidores, a cerveja é um produto alcóolico de consumo expressivo no Brasil, com processo industrial altamente consolidado. Entretanto as cervejas produzidas de forma artesanal têm se destacado entre os consumidores, por apresentarem sabores mais acentuados. Dessa forma, objetivou-se com o estudo determinar o perfil físico-químico de cervejas artesanais e industriais comercializadas no município de Vitória da Conquista – Bahia, bem como a avaliação da adequação dos rótulos dessas quanto à sua graduação alcóolica. As amostras das cervejas foram escolhidas de forma aleatória e estas foram avaliadas quanto ao pH, acidez, extrato seco, densidade relativa e teor alcóolico. Os resultados evidenciaram que as cervejas atendem aos padrões exigidos pelo Ministério da Agricultura Pecuária e Abastecimento (MAPA) que determina os requisitos mínimos para garantia da qualidade das cervejas industriais, contudo, o valor da densidade relativa das amostras apontou um valor inferior ao padrão estabelecido e observaram-se divergências entre o teor alcóolico descrito no rótulo com o teor alcóolico obtido, necessitando assim de análises mais precisas para a avaliação destes.

Allocation of a tryptase in stomatic liquid and activation of basophiles at an intolerance of stomatologic materials
Authors: Karpuk I.
Published: January 2019

The goal of the study was to determine the levels of mast cell tryptase (MCT) in whole saliva and IgE antibodies in blood in patients with intolerance to dental prosthetic materials (intolerance to dental materials – IDM) before and after removal of prosthetic constructions. We have conducted an examination of the patients suffering from the symptoms of IDM, who were divided into 2 groups depending on the time span between the end of prosthetic treatment and the emergence of pathological symptoms: group 1 (n=19) – from 1 to 14 days (emergence of symptoms took place immediately after treatment); group 2 – (n=18) – from 6 months to 5 years, group 3 (n=16) – controls – no complaints of IDM. Whole saliva (WS) samples were collected before removal of prosthetic constructions and 1 month after. In group 1 patients we could detect salivary MCT in 16 (84,2%) subjects before removal of prosthetic constructions, and 1 month after MCT in whole saliva was not found (p<0,001). MCT in whole saliva of control group patients was not detected both before and after removal of prosthetic constructions. Thus, mast cell tryptase in whole saliva is a diagnostic marker for intolerance to dental materials. In group 1 patients we detected IgE antibodies to Ni-HSA in 78,9% of patients, IgE antibodies to Cr-HSA in 68,4% of patients and IgE to CoHSA in 52,6% of patients. Salivary MCT levels were in strong correlation with IgE levels to Ni-HSA (RSpearman=0,9; p<0,05) and in moderate correlation with Cr-HSA (RSpearman=0,7; p<0,05). The obtained data suggest the prevalence of immediate type reaction to dental materials. Expressed local increase of MCT level is an important diagnostic marker of local inflammatory process initiation. MCT in whole saliva was found only in 3 (16,7%) patients from group 2, the same 3 patients had IgE antibodies to metal ions in blood serum, which indicates IgE-dependent type of reaction. The rest of the patients from group 2, most likely, have a different type of allergic reaction, e. g. delayed or granulocyte-mediated. For reliable diagnosis of allergy to the components of dental materials it is reasonable to measure salivary MCT before and after removal of prosthetic constructions. Salivary MCT level monitoring allows to assess the role of prosthetic constructions for the emergence of IDM and need for their replacement.
Release of metal ions from dental alloys and their effect on the metabolic and killing activity of leukocytes
Authors: Karpuk I. , Fadeev V.
Published: January 2019

Aim of study. We investigated the effect of metal cations solutions from dental alloys and solutions of metal salts on the functional and metabolic activity of blood leukocytes. Materials and methods. 22 patients with complaints of intolerance to dental materials (IDM) were examined. The control group consisted of 19 patients without IDM complaints. Results. After the incubation of fragments of dental alloys in water, metal cations are identified, depending on the time of incubation. This metal cations solutions (MCS) changed the metabolic and killing activity of blood neutrophils in patients with IDM, which may be a marker of intolerance to prosthetic materials. MCS and metal salts solutions (MSS) increased the secretion of IL-2, IL-4, TNF-α, INF-γ by whole blood leucocytes in patients with IDM, which indicates that hypersensitivity to the components of dental alloys was induced in the experimental group, and only IL-2, IL-10 were upregulated in the control group, which in turn indicates an immunomodulatory effect. Secretion of cytokines by blood leukocytes of patients influenced by components of dental alloys can serve as a marker of their biocompatibility and a criterion for hypersensitivity reactions. The serum level of HSP-70 in patients with IDM was 2.41 [0.79; 2.9] ng / ml, and it was lower in comparison with the control group– 4.1 [2.23; 5.11] (p <0.05). The PHA stimulated the release of HSP-70 in both groups. In patients of the experimental group MCS inhibited the secretion of HSP-70 (0.8 [0.3, 1.1] ng / ml), while in the control group it stimulated its secretion (5.7 [4.1, 8.5] ng / ml). The baseline NO-producing activity of leukocytes in patients of both groups during incubation with PHA in vitro did not differ. However, when they were cultivated with MCS, the release of NO by blood leucocytes was suppressed.

Drivers of Brand Extension Success
Authors: Völckner Franziska , Sattler Henrik
Published: January 2019

The research presented in this article addresses the issue of the significance and relative importance of the determinants of extension success by simultaneously investigating ten success factors. The empirical analysis considers the direct relationships between success factors and extension success, the structural relationships among investigated factors, and moderating effects. The authors find that fit between the parent brand and an extension product is the most important driver of brand extension success, followed by marketing support, parent-brand conviction, retailer acceptance, and parent-brand experience. The authors also find several important structural relationships among the investigated success factors (e.g., marketing support → fit → retailer acceptance → extension success). Finally, the interaction terms of fit with the quality of the parent brand and with parent-brand conviction are statistically significant, albeit of relatively low importance.
Marketing Performance Measurement Ability and Firm Performance
Authors: O'Sullivan Don , Abela Andrew V.
Published: January 2019

Marketing practitioners are under increasing pressure to demonstrate their contribution to firm performance. It has been widely argued that an inability to account for marketing's contribution has undermined its standing within the firm. To respond to this pressure, marketers are investing in the development of performance measurement abilities, but to date, there have been no empirical studies of whether the ability to measure marketing performance has any actual effect on either firm performance or marketing's stature. In this study of senior marketing managers in high-technology firms, the authors examine the effect of ability to measure marketing performance on firm performance, using both primary data collected from senior marketers and secondary data on firm profitability and stock returns. They also explore the effect of ability to measure marketing on marketing's stature within the firm, which is operationalized as chief executive officer satisfaction with marketing. The empirical results indicate that the ability to measure marketing performance has a significant impact on firm performance, profitability, stock returns, and marketing's stature within the firm.
Size and Share of Customer Wallet
Authors: Du Rex Yuxing , Kamakura Wagner A. , Mela Carl F.
Published: January 2019

Many companies collect substantial information about their interactions with their customers. Yet information about their customers' transactions with competing firms is often sparse or nonexistent. As a result, firms are often compelled to manage customer relationships from an inward view of their customers. However, the empirical analysis in this study indicates that (1) the volume of customers' transactions within a firm has little correlation with the volume of their transactions with the firm's competitors and (2) a small percentage of customers account for a large portion of all the external transactions, suggesting the considerable potential to increase sales if these customers can be correctly identified and incentivized to switch. Thus, the authors argue for a more outward view in customer relationship management and develop a list augmentation–based approach to augment firms' internal records with insights into their customers' relationships with competing firms, including the size of each customer's wallet and the firm's share of it.
When Intelligence is (Dys)Functional for Achieving Sales Performance
Authors: Verbeke Willem J. , Belschak Frank D. , Bakker Arnold B. , Dietz Bart
Published: January 2019

Using two samples of salespeople, the authors investigate how a combination of general mental ability (GMA) and specific skills and capabilities (social competence and thinking styles) enables salespeople to reach their sales goals. The study finds evidence for an interaction between GMA and social competence. When combined with high social competence, high GMA leads to the highest sales performance; when combined with low social competence, high GMA leads to the lowest sales performance. In addition, the authors find interaction effects between GMA and a judicial thinking style. Salespeople with a high GMA have the most potential for attaining high levels of sales performance when combined with specific skills; when salespeople with a high GMA lack these skills, they may become the firm's worst performers.

Authors: Dorji Thinley , Lhamo Pempa , Tshering Tshering , Zangmo Lungten , Choden Kencho , Choden Deki , Namgyal Kesang
Published: January 2019

Background

The burden of diabetes has increased rapidly with an increasing cost of treatment.

Objectives

To describe the glycemic control, injection practices, and treatment adherence among diabetic patients treated with insulin.

Methods

This cross-sectional study was conducted using a convenience sampling method at the 3 tertiary referral hospitals in Bhutan. Sociodemographic, injection practices, and clinical details were collected. Good glycemic control was defined as glycated hemoglobin A (HbA1c) <7% if available or fasting blood sugar 70–130 mg/dL and 2 h postprandial blood sugar <180 mg/dL if HbA1c values were unavailable. Medication adherence was assessed using the Morisky, Green and Levine (MGL) scale. The injection technique was assessed using a 10-item checklist.

Results

We studied 207 patients. Good glycemic control was achieved by only 58 (28.0%) of patients. Using the MGL scale score, the objective adherence with insulin therapy was mostly low to medium and a gross discordance was with self-declared adherence (P < 0.001). The injection technique was fair to poor in half of the participants. Those with good injection techniques also had good adherence to medication (P = 0.025, adjusted odds ratio = 4.4, 95% confidence interval 1.2–16.4). The majority (154, 74.4%) had self-injected insulin, while the remaining were dependent on their home caregivers. Forty percent of the participants used storage practices that were not recommended. The disposal of the used insulin needles was generally unsafe.

Conclusions

Glycemic control and adherence to insulin administration recommendations were poor. The injection technique needs to be improved and standardized, and methods of safe disposal of sharps need to be developed.

Authors: Sogomonjan Melita , Kerikmäe Tanel , Ööpik Pille
Published: January 2019

In the context of the EU’s Digital Single Market (eHealth) Strategy, the deployment of digital tools for patients’ empowerment and person-centred care is of high demand and importance. Shifting from treatment to health promotion and disease prevention, a variety of internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy programmes have been proven to be effective for managing common mental health disorders in secondary care even hough the effectiveness and the clinical use of internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy programmes alone in primary care have not been approved yet. Additionally, such interventions are neither included in the international clinical guidelines for treating common mental health disorders nor regulated by Member States as a healthcare service. Despite that, the UK National Health Service and the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare endorse the use of internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy as a first treatment option. The aim of this research is to investigate the global experience of internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy programmes in controlled and real-life conditions in general practice and to evaluate the reliability of the results and concomitantly their compliance with the European Commission’s eHealth Strategy. A systematic review of quantitative studies was conducted from January 2007 to December 2017. The results indicated that unsupported internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy programmes alone are less effective than combined therapy options for treatment purposes, if no additional therapy is prescribed. Guided internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy may supplement traditional treatment methods resulting in improving the control of mental disorders, but are unable to demonstrate consistent quality or replace face-to-face therapy.

Authors: Ao Weiwei , DelaTorre Azahara , González María del Mar , Wei Juncheng
Published: January 2019

We construct solutions for the fractional Yamabe problem that are singular at a prescribed number of isolated points. This seems to be the first time that a gluing method is successfully applied to a non-local problem in order to construct singular solutions. There are two main steps in the proof: to construct an approximate solution by gluing half bubble towers at each singular point, and then an infinite-dimensional Lyapunov–Schmidt reduction method, that reduces the problem to an (infinite-dimensional) Toda-type system. The main technical part is the estimate of the interactions between different bubbles in the bubble towers.
Predicting Aggregated User Satisfaction in Software Projects
Authors: Radliński Łukasz
Published: January 2019

User satisfaction is an important feature of software quality. However, it was rarely studied in software engineering literature. By enhancing earlier research this paper focuses on predicting user satisfaction with machine learning techniques using software development data from an extended ISBSG dataset. This study involved building, evaluating and comparing a total of 15,600 prediction schemes. Each scheme consists of a different combination of its components: manual feature preselection, handling missing values, outlier elimination, value normalization, automated feature selection, and a classifier. The research procedure involved a 10-fold cross-validation and separate testing, both repeated 10 times, to train and to evaluate each prediction scheme. Achieved level of accuracy for best performing schemes expressed by Matthews correlation coefficient was about 0.5 in the cross-validation and about 0.5–0.6 in the testing stage. The study identified the most accurate settings for components of prediction schemes.
Investigations into Flour Mixes of Triticum Monococcum and Triticum Spelta
Authors: Kóczán-Manninger Katalin , Badak-Kerti Katalin
Published: January 2019

Bread samples were made using flour mixes of Triticum monococcum (Tr. monococcum) and Triticum spelta (Tr. spelta). They were tested for their rheological behaviour over the first 3 days of storage at room temperature, and for their characteristics based on a Hungarian Standard. Parameters were set such as the volume of the baked product, baking loss, crumb characteristics and elasticity of crumbs. The behaviour of flour from einkorn wheat is different to that of Tr. spelta. The properties of the tested flour mixes measured by a farinograph show that Tr. spelta produces an acceptable dough, on the other hand, the dough of Tr. monococcum develops quickly but is very unstable so weakens within minutes of being kneaded. This also suggests that doughs composed of einkorn wheat flour require a different type of kneading than those of Tr. spelta (or Tr. aestivum, also referred to as common wheat) flours. Breads composed of Tr. spelta were comparable with those made with Tr. aestivum, the crumb elasticity was above 90 % on the day of baking, which indicates high quality. The Tr. monococcum breads, however, were of low grade: the volume of the breads decreased by increasing the ratio of Tr. monococcum to Tr. spelta and the elasticity reduced to unacceptable levels (less than 60 %). It should be mentioned that the grading was based on breads made purely from Tr. aestivum flours.

Comorbid states of diseases significantly complicate diagnosis and treatment. Molecular mechanisms of comorbid states of asthma and hypertension are still poorly understood. Prioritization is a way for identifying genes involved in complex phenotypic traits. Existing methods of prioritization consider genetic, expression and evolutionary data, molecular-genetic networks and other. In the case of molecular-genetic networks, as a rule, protein-protein interactions and KEGG networks are used. ANDSystem allows reconstructing associative gene networks, which include more than 20 types of interactions, including protein-protein interactions, expression regulation, transport, catalysis, etc. In this work, a set of genes has been prioritized to find genes potentially involved in asthma and hypertension comorbidity. The prioritization was carried out using well-known methods (ToppGene and Endeavor) and a cross-talk centrality criterion, calculated by analysis of associative gene networks from ANDSystem. The identified genes, including IL1A, CD40LG, STAT3, IL15, FAS, APP, TLR2, C3, IL13 and CXCL10, may be involved in the molecular mechanisms of comorbid asthma/hypertension. An analysis of the dynamics of the frequency of mentioning the most priority genes in scientific publications revealed that the top 100 priority genes are significantly enriched with genes with increased positive dynamics, which may be a positive sign for further studies of these genes.

Authors: Latif Naveed , Pečarić Đilda , Pečarić Josip
Published: January 2019

In this paper, we consider the definition of “useful” Csiszár divergence and “useful” Zipf-Mandelbrot law associated with the real utility distribution to give the results for majorizatioQn inequalities by using monotonic sequences. We obtain the equivalent statements between continuous convex functions and Green functions via majorization inequalities, “useful” Csiszár functional and “useful” Zipf-Mandelbrot law. By considering “useful” Csiszár divergence in the integral case, we give the results for integral majorization inequality. Towards the end, some applications are given.

Published: January 2019

From an ethyl acetate extract of twigs and barks of Dacrydium elatum a new diterpenoid named dacrydianone (1), together with lambertic acid (2), three ecdysteroids: 20-hydroxyecdysone (3), ajugasterone C (4), ponasterone A (5), and daucosterol (6), has been isolated. Their structures were elucidated by an extensive analysis of the UV/Vis, FT-IR, MS and NMR spectra as well as comparison with those in published literature. The EtOAc extract and the isolated compounds 1–5 were evaluated for their cytotoxicity on four cancer cell lines: breast cancer (MCF-7), lung cancer (Lu-1), liver cancer (HepG2) and human oral cancer (KB). The EtOAc extract and compound 2 showed a medium activity on four tested cancer cell lines, while compounds 3 and 5 exhibited week activity on these cell lines. Compounds 1 and 4 did not show activity on the tested cell lines.
Developments in Flame-Retardant Bio-composite Material Production
Authors: Anannya Ferdausee Rahman , Mahmud Md. Arif
Published: January 2019

Flame-retardant composites have been researched for more than four decades, and demands are on the rise for this type of product in various applications. Since bio-composites have become popular these days, researchers have turned their attention to producing flame-retardant bio-composites. The main advantage of the bio-composite is its easy degradation process by naturally occurring bio-components. These types of composites can be partially biodegradable or fully biodegradable, and the rate of the degradability depends on the contents of the material. Partially biodegradable ones generally contain natural fiber as a reinforcement, along with a nonbiodegradable synthetic resin, while fully biodegradable ones contain either only biopolymers or a blend of natural fiber and biopolymer. Generally, flame-retardant bio-composites contain an additional flame-retardant filler material as well. This article will try to review the studies that have taken place on developing flame-retardant bio-composites and try to point out some key factors by which the properties of the end product may be controlled, so that the end products of the desired properties can be produced in further research.

Published: January 2019

Despite not being taken into account in structural modeling, the complex behavior of masonry affects the seismic performance of structures. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of infilled frames with different percentages of openings on reinforced concrete (RC) moment frames. Initially, an experimental model was constructed and subjected to loading. Afterwards, corresponding numerical analyses were carried out based on the experimental model. A simplified micromodeling method with respect to the numerical simulation of the experimental model was assigned. Subsequently, sensitivity analyses were performed to investigate the effects of the opening ratio on the behavior of intermediate RC moment frames. The analytical results indicate that increasing the percentage of the opening leads to a significant reduction in the lateral strength of the frame. The lateral strength of the masonry wall was negligible in masonry infills with openings greater than 40 %. While prognosticating the behavior of buildings with masonry walls is complicated, determining the behavior of infilled frames with different percentages of openings will make it much easier to predict the damage pattern.
Self-Report Versus Informant Responses: Exploring the Relationship between Excessive Reassurance Seeking and Depression
Authors: Anagnostopoulos Vasiliki , Carter Michele M.
Published: January 2019

Introduction: This study expanded on prior research exploring the relationship between excessive reassurance seeking (ERS) and depression by conducting a longitudinal study evaluating two reporting sources (participants and informants). The current research was also the first to examine a sequential mediation model, with interpersonal competence as an antecedent in this relationship.

Method: One hundred and ten participants completed measures at two time-points separated by five weeks. Corresponding informants completed comparable measures at participants' Time 2.

Results: Results revealed differences based on reporting source, with more significant correlations found among participant- as compared to informant-reported variables. Moreover, findings supported interpersonal competence as an antecedent to the ERS-depression relationship. Finally, this research highlighted the role of brooding, in addition to ERS, in the development of depressive symptoms.

Discussion: This study offers support for further consideration of methodology on outcomes, underlines the role of interpersonal competence as a precursor to depression, and encourages clinicians to target both brooding and ERS behavior in the treatment and prevention of depression.
