Kulikowich, Jonna M.; Edwards, Maeghan N. – Psychology in the Schools, 2007
We look at three common research scenarios, one in the behavioral domain (i.e., disruptive behaviors) one in the cognitive domain (i.e., academic achievement), and one in the affective domain (i.e., anxiety and stress) for which school psychologists are asked to address important questions related to change. We list measurement and statistical…

Women health care professionals reporting a history of childhood psychological maltreatment (n=55) were compared to a nonabused group (n=55) on three dimensions of anxiety, depression, and dissociation.

Data from four studies answer Carey's (1982, 1983) critical questions about the validity of the original Infant Temperament Questionnaire (ITQ).

Jacobson, Joseph L; Wille, Diane E. – Developmental Psychology, 1984
Distress in response to brief maternal separations was examined in a sample of 93 predominantly home-reared infants using the Ainsworth strange situation paradigm. At 18 months, the age when separation protests begin to decline, securely attached infants are better able than anxiously attached infants to tolerate maternal separations. (Author/RH)

Analyzes the interrelationships of six basic child-rearing dimensions (nurturance, obedience, responsibility, self-reliance, achievement, and general independence) in a cross-cultural sample of 110 societies.

Lurie, Elinore; And Others – 1984
In previous research, two major sets of variables have been identified as correlates of emotional well-being among the elderly: measures of physical health and of social support. To suggest variables predictive of in-hospital discharge planning, and of emotional well-being after a severe incident of ill health, the Posthospital Support Study…

A questionnaire, designed to assess attitudes and anxiety levels, was administered to 96 Maine Cooperative Extension personnel prior to receiving computer training.
