Coping While Black: Chronic Illness, Mastery, and the Black-White Health Paradox
No full textPrior research indicates that there is a black-white paradox in the relationship between physical health and mental health among American adults. However, none have considered black-white differences in psychosocial coping and depressive symptoms during the transitional stages from health to chronic illness. Using a nationally representative sample of chronically ill adults from the American Changing Lives study, this study builds on literature on chronic illness and the black-white paradox to examine if (1) growth in depressive symptoms across 16 years differs for black and white adults as they transition from healthy to chronically ill and (2) if the protective coping resource, mastery, provides an equal benefit to black and white chronically ill adults during that transition. Findings indicate that among chronically ill adults, not only do black-white disparities exist in how much mastery each group possesses, but that mastery\u27s utility as a protective resource against depressive symptoms differs by race, with black ill adults experiencing a poorer return on their mastery than white adults. Moreover, findings that black adults maintain the same level of depressive symptoms as white adults despite this mastery disadvantage provide additional support for Minorities\u27 Diminishing Returns Theory and some support for an emerging theory of collective resilience with regard to black American mental health
Is God the Son Begotten in His Divine Nature?
No full textThe doctrine of the Father’s begetting the Son in his divine nature, despite its credal affirmation, enjoys no clear scriptural support and threatens to introduce an objectionable ontological subordinationism into the doctrine of the Trinity. We should therefore think of Christ’s sonship as a function of his incarnation, even if that role is assumed beginninglessly
So the Next Generation Will Know: Preparing Young Christians for a Challenging World
No full textWhether you\u27re a Christian parent, youth leader, or educator who works with Generation Z, this book was written for you. As powerful ideas in our increasingly secular culture shape more of this generation, trusted leaders must share what they know about Jesus in ways that will reach them. But how? Backed by the latest research and first hand experience, this powerful book shows how to share biblical truth with a generation that desperately needs to hear it in a way that draws them in instead of pushing them away.https://digitalcommons.biola.edu/faculty-books/1454/thumbnail.jp
Neuroanatomy for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology 2nd Edition
No full textNeuroanatomy for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology, Second Edition is specifically tailored to the needs of Communication Sciences and Disorders students. Updated with the latest research, it includes foundational knowledge of general neuroanatomy with a focus that is relevant to both audiences of speech-language pathology and audiology. This student-friendly and engaging text is organized into four main sections: Part I introduces students to the nervous system; Part II discusses the main neurological structures; Part III focuses on the neurology of speech, language, hearing, cognition, emotion, and swallowing; and Part IV delves into practicing neuroanatomy in the field.https://digitalcommons.biola.edu/faculty-books/1460/thumbnail.jp

Envisioning Christian Presence and Practice in Online Teaching Contexts
Get PDFSweeping changes across the landscape of higher education have made colleges and universities around the country and around the world reassess their mission and reevaluate their priorities. One paradigm shift that is affecting both Christian and non-Christian institutions alike is adjusting to how new technological platforms for course offerings are changing the way curriculum content is shared and interactions with others is mediated. This shift can be seen most readily in the almost universal trend toward offering more courses online either through blended learning or completely online program models. As this trend continues, Christian educators (especially those in ELT training or teaching) need to wrestle with how this change in the mode of instruction can open up new opportunities to teach in ways that are distinctly Christian and reflect the presence of Christ into a now virtual classroom. This article seeks to contribute to this conversation and prompt further discussion and shared reflection on this topic
Performance-Based Assessment of Social Cognition in Borderline Versus Psychotic Psychopathology
No full textIndividuals diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) are known to display deficits in social cognition (SC). Our sample comprised 81 patients enrolled in residential treatment for complex psychopathology. We used performance-based assessments to test the hypothesis that individuals with SSD would display decrements on the cognitive/perceptual facets of SC, whereas individuals with BPD would evidence greater dysfunction on the affective/interpersonal facets of SC, with consideration taken for how gender may interact with diagnosis to influence results. Our findings suggested that women with SSD displayed more impaired understanding of social causality compared with their female BPD counterparts, while female patients with BPD evidenced greater expectation for aggression in their SC compared with women with SSD. These findings provide partial support for our hypotheses while highlighting the importance of accounting for the influence of gender on SC functional disparities between these two groups
Trajectories of spiritual well‐being in long‐term survivors of cancer: A report from the American Cancer Society\u27s Studies of Cancer Survivors–I
No full textExisting research indicates that religion, spirituality, or both are important to the quality of life of patients with cancer. The current study is the first to characterize trajectories of spiritual well‐being (SWB) over time and to identify their predictors in a large, diverse sample of long‐term cancer survivors
Leg-drive Does Not Affect Upper Extremity Muscle Activation during a Bench Press Exercise
No full textThe purpose of this study was to determine if muscle activity of upper extremity muscles differed depending on the involvement of the legs during a bench press. The study included 15 male and 12 female recreationally trained, college age participants. There were 2 testing sessions. Session 1: Participants performed a 1-repetition maximum in a standard bench press followed by a leg-drive familiarization. For the familiarization, participants were instructed in the leg-drive technique (buttocks remained on the bench) and given ample time to practice until comfortable and which satisfied the researchers. Leg-drive pressing force was verified by measuring anterior-posterior and vertical ground reaction forces measured by a force plate. Session 2: Outfitted with surface electromyography (EMG), participants performed 3 repetitions in the bench press with 75% of the standard bench press 1-repetition maximum (1RM) under three conditions: 1) standard 2) leg-drive, 3) legs-in-the-air. The normalized average of the peaks of the three reps for each muscle were analyzed using a 2 x 3 (gender x condition) ANOVA. The ANOVA revealed no significant differences across groups or conditions (pectoralis major p = 0.405, anterior deltoid p = 0.297, triceps brachii p = 0.092). When comparing a standard bench press to leg-drive, our results indicate that similar amounts of muscle activation are required for the task regardless of the leg involvement. This work indicates that using a leg-drive technique that does not allow the buttocks to rise from the bench, does not result in a change in upper extremity muscle activity compared to a standard bench press. Due to lack of differences across conditions, athletes and strength coaches should base their decision on the use of leg-drive on their personal preference
