Behavioral adjustment of Chinese adoptees: The role of pre-adoption experiences
No full textPurpose: In the current study we examined associations between children's pre-adoption experiences (type of pre-adoption care and early deprivation) and their adaptive and maladaptive behavioral adjustment. Associations with prosocial behavior, attention problems, internalizing and externalizing behavioral problems were investigated.
Methods: Parental ratings of pre-adoption experiences and behavioral adjustment of 891 adopted Chinese girls aged between 4 and 12 year were obtained. The children were adopted from institutional care (n=595), foster care (n=66) or a combination of institutional and foster care (n=228). Prosocial behavior was assessed using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Attention problems, internalizing and externalizing behavioral problems were assessed using the Child Behavior Checklist for ages 4–18 (CBCL). In addition to the main effects of pre-adoption experiences, we tested interaction effects between pre-adoption experiences and age at adoption, controlling for several family and child background variables.
Results: Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that type of pre-adoption care was not associated with behavioral adjustment. Early deprivation, on the other hand, was negatively associated with prosocial behavior,
and positively associated with attention problems, internalizing and externalizing problems. Interaction analyses revealed no significant associations.
Conclusions: The results showed that pre-adoption deprivation increased the risk for less optimal behavioral
adjustment. The effects however were small, leaving room for other explaining factors both in the pre- and postadoption environment of the child.sponsorship: We would like to thank the families for their generous participation to this study.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Promoting positive parenting: an attachment-based intervention, by juffer, f., bakermans-kranenburg, m. j., & van ijzendoorn, m. h. (eds.). lawrence erlbaum associates, taylor & francis group. new york-london.
Get PDF“Promoviendo la crianza positiva: Una intervención basada en el apego”, editado por Femmie Juffer, Marian J. Bakermans- Kranenburg, y Marinus H. van IJzendoorn (2008), representa una valiosa contribución para investigadores y profesionales que buscan programas de intervención en crianza respaldados por evidencia. Este libro, escrito en inglés, refleja más de dos décadas de investigación enfocada en mejorar la sensibilidad parental durante la primera infancia. Los autores ofrecen una detallada descripción de la intervención conocida como “Video-Feedback para Promover la Crianza Positiva” (VIPP), un programa fundamentado en la teoría del apego de John Bowlby y Mary Ainsworth. El VIPP se explora a través de sus componentes, respaldados por una sólida discusión teórica, así como por resúmenes de intervenciones, ejemplos de casos y una revisión exhaustiva de los resultados de meta-análisis que validan su eficacia
