Pillow Talk and Cognitive Decision-making Processes: Exploring the Influence of Orgasm and Alcohol on Communication after Sexual Activity     

Amanda Denes  Tamara D. Afifi 《Communication monographs》2014,81(3):333-358

This study explores individuals' postcoital disclosures by investigating the role of orgasm and alcohol on communication after sexual activity over a two-week period. Assessments of the risks and benefits of disclosing were expected to influence the associations among orgasm, alcohol, and postcoital communication. The results revealed that individuals who orgasmed perceived greater benefits to disclosing to their partners after sexual activity. They also disclosed more positively valenced information and information of greater magnitude compared to those who did not orgasm, although risk–benefit assessments did not mediate this relationship. Additionally, the more alcohol individuals consumed, the fewer benefits they assessed to disclosing, the less deep and positively valenced their disclosures were, and the more unintentional they were in their disclosures. Similarly, the relationship between alcohol and the dimensions of disclosure was not mediated by risk–benefit assessments. Finally, individuals who consumed more alcohol and did not orgasm disclosed less positively valenced information than individuals who consumed less alcohol and did not orgasm across occasions. The implications of these findings for couples' communication and future research on the postcoital time interval are discussed.  相似文献   

Is research with qualitative data more prevalent and impactful now? Interviews,case studies,focus groups and ethnographies     

Mike Thelwall  Tamara Nevill 《Library & information science research》2021,43(2):101094

With qualitative research apparently threatened by big data, researchers, editors, educators, librarians, and publishers need to understand the mix of research methods used in their field to guide decision making. In response, this study assesses the prevalence and citation impact of academic research between 1996 and 2019 that reports one of four common methods to gather qualitative data: interviews, focus groups, case studies, and ethnography. With minor exceptions, the prevalence of qualitative data has increased, often substantially, since 1996. In addition, all 27 broad fields (as classified by Scopus) now publish some qualitative research, with interviewing being by far the most common approach. The citation impact of interview and focus group research mostly decreased over time, whereas of case study citation impact increased, and ethnography was above average in its two core subject areas. This suggests that methods teachers, researchers, editors, librarians, and publishers should be increasingly open to the value of qualitative data.  相似文献

Factors associated with successful and unsuccessful intervention with child abusive families     

Arthur H. Green  Ernest Power  Barbara Steinbook  Richard Gaines 《Child abuse & neglect》1981,5(1):45-52

The authors conducted a treatment outcome study on 79 patients engaged in a program for maltreating parents. Treatment modalities included individual psychotherapy and counseling, group therapy, home visiting, and telephone advocacy with the duration of treatment ranging from 6 sessions to 36 months. On the basis of ratings by the primary therapist consensually validated by other staff, $\text{2}\text{3}$ of the sample demonstrated at least symptomatic improvement, whereas 28% improved significantly. Overall improvement was highly correlated with more subtle indices of childrearing, perception of the child, object relations, insight, and capacity for self-observation. The profiles of those maltreating parents who improved and those who did not emerged with respect to the impact of critical demographic, psychological, and therapeutic variables. Favorable outcomes were unlikely among parents who themselves had a history of maltreatment, who inflicted the more severe injuries, who entered the program involuntarily or who terminated against advice; while positive results were more prevalent in those parents with a less abusive childhood experience and who perceived a need for involvement in the program. Home visiting and advocacy appeared to enhance the potential for improvement.  相似文献   

Perceptions of Video Scenarios to Learn Human Pathophysiology Among Undergraduate Science Students     

Chen  Hui  Power  Tamara  Hayes  Carolyn  Reyna  Jorge  van Reyk  David 《Journal of Science Education and Technology》2020,29(5):597-604

Pathophysiology describes and explains the physiological dysfunctions that occur in human diseases. Pathophysiology is content heavy, often leading to medical/biomedical science students adopting a surface approach to learning. To encourage more engagement, we developed clinical simulation practical classes using manikin patients. Students considered these were more effective than paper-based case studies. However, they found the first encounter with the manikins daunting. In addition, they did not have a strong sense of responsibility towards the outcome of their treatment choices largely because they recognized this as a simulated experience. Video is a powerful teaching tool to demonstrate situations that are difficult to explain in words, to see theory applied to practice or create enthusiasm and confidence in the viewer regarding the use of new practices. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of exposure to a video scenario, in which a high-fidelity manikin was used as the ‘patient’, before the students’ own interactions with the manikin in later classes. Survey results suggested that the students felt more engaged with the case study. They felt the video helped them appreciate aspects of clinical communication and prepare for their time in the simulation laboratory interacting with the manikin. They saw the video as a useful addition to the written case study notes. Their criticisms were mainly around the production quality. This study supports the use of video scenarios as a valuable adjunct to the teaching of pathophysiology to medical/biomedical science students when using either paper- or simulation-based case studies.

STEM Integration in Middle School Life Science: Student Learning and Attitudes     

S. Selcen Guzey  Tamara J. Moore  Michael Harwell  Mario Moreno 《Journal of Science Education and Technology》2016,25(4):550-560

In many countries around the world, there has been an increasing emphasis on improving science education. Recent reform efforts in the USA call for teachers to integrate scientific and engineering practices into science teaching; for example, science teachers are asked to provide learning experiences for students that apply crosscutting concepts (e.g., patterns, scale) and increase understanding of disciplinary core ideas (e.g., physical science, earth science). Engineering practices and engineering design are essential elements of this new vision of science teaching and learning. This paper presents a research study that evaluates the effects of an engineering design-based science curriculum on student learning and attitudes. Three middle school life science teachers and 275 seventh grade students participated in the study. Content assessments and attitude surveys were administered before and after the implementation of the curriculum unit. Statewide mathematics test proficiency scores were included in the data analysis as well. Results provide evidence of the positive effects of implementing the engineering design-based science unit on student attitudes and learning.  相似文献   

Learning English from signed English: an impossible task?     

Power D  Hyde M  Leigh G 《American annals of the deaf》2008,153(1):37-47

A sample of elementary school- and high school-age deaf students in special education programs in the Australian state of Queensland using Australasian Signed English (ASE) took the Test of Syntactic Abilities (Quigley, Steinkamp, Power, & Jones, 1978) and wrote a story in response to a wordless picture sequence. Several analyses of the students' test scores and of the written language of their stories were undertaken. It was found that classroom use of ASE was of benefit to these students in developing English and telling a story in writing, but that there were complex aspects of syntax that required special teaching. The implications for the use of Signed English systems and the teaching of English to deaf students who use Signed English communication are examined.  相似文献
