The Enduring Legacy: Oil, Culture, and Society in Venezuela
Get PDFThis review discusses the conceptual interventions that Salas makes in the fields of Venezuelan history, studies of extraction economics, and international relations between Latin America, the U.S., and Europe. Salas argues that the rise of the oil industry in Venezuela impacted not only Venezuela's economy and foreign relations but also its cultural and social formations. I summarize Salas's main points and examine the strengths of his book: his archival research, his synthesis of detail into a cohesive picture, and his interesting conceptual turn away from the idea of oil as an agent of modernization. I also recognize the absence of indigenous voices from Salas's account and attribute this to gaps that exist in the archival material
Easily Frustrated Infants: Implications for Emotion Regulation Strategies and Cognitive Functioning
No full textWe identified easily frustrated (n=9) and less easily frustrated (n=15) infants from a cohort (n=54) of 10-month-olds with and without a family history of ADHD. Categorization into frustration groups was made on the basis of both parents’ report and a laboratory assessment in which they were denied an attractive toy. Easily frustrated infants: 1) showed no significant relationship to having a family history of ADHD; 2) showed differences in frequency of emotion regulation strategies; and 3) showed significant group differences on assessments of cognitive functioning. Results indicate that easily frustrated infants are not regulating attention well and that better measures of cognitive functioning in relation to effortful control may better show group differences
