Impact of Emotional Dysregulation on Parental Reactions to Children's Negative Emotions
No full textBorderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is linked to emotional instability and difficulties in relationships. Research shows BPD symptoms are associated with reduced mentalizing ability, particularly in times of emotional arousal. Parental Emotion Socialization (PES), including parental responses to negative emotions, influences children's emotional knowledge and management, but little is known about how it operates in mothers with BPD. This study aimed to investigate how emotional regulation in mothers, particularly those with BPD, influences their responses to their children's negative emotions, with an additional focus on the moderating role of parental reflective functioning. Findings from 248 participants, including 73 mothers with BPD, revealed that mothers with greater levels of emotional dysregulation tended to engage in more unsupportive parent emotion socialization, whereas those with greater emotional regulation abilities were more likely to respond supportively. Interestingly, maternal curiosity, as measured by the PRFQ Curiosity domain, emerged as a significant moderator, implying that higher levels of curiosity partially mitigated the negative impact of emotion dysregulation on supportive PES strategies. These results underscore the importance of emotional regulation and curiosity in maternal responses to their children's emotions, particularly for moms with BPD. Therapies that target emotional regulation and reflective functioning may be beneficial in improving parenting practices in this population.Psychology, Department ofHonors Colleg
The Relationship Between Maternal Personality Pathology and Parent Emotion Socialization: The Moderating Effect of Reflective Function
No full textAbundant research has demonstrated that mothers with personality pathology, specifically borderline personality disorder (BPD), encounter notable challenges when parenting. However, there is a paucity in research examining parenting within mothers with personality pathology using levels of personality functioning (LPF) as defined by the Alternative Model for Personality Disorders. No studies have examined the relationship between maternal LPF and parent emotion socialization (PES), or the process by which parents shape their children’s ability to express and regulate their emotions, which has the potential to confer the risk of developing psychopathology in children with a genetic predisposition to personality pathology when unsupportive in nature. Further, the impact that reflective functioning (RF), a type of mentalizing used within attachment relationships, has on the relationship between maternal personality pathology and PES has not been examined despite the protective nature of RF. Against this background, the current study used a sample of 149 mothers from across the United States (ages 21 – 53, M = 34.88 years) to test three aims: 1) examine relations between maternal LPF and PES; 2) evaluate group differences between mothers with BPD, a useful proxy for LPF, and healthy control mothers on PES; 3) examine the moderating role of RF on the relationship between maternal LPF and PES. The Level of Personality Functioning Scale Brief Form 2.0 (LPFS-BF 2.0) was used to measure maternal LPF, the Coping with Children’s Negative Emotions Scale (CCNES) was used to measure PES, and the Reflective Functioning Questionnaire – 8 item form (RFQ-8) was used to measure maternal RF. Findings indicated that maternal LPF was positively correlated with non- supportive PES and negatively correlated with supportive PES. While controlling for mother age, which was identified as a covariate, mothers with BPD and healthy controls were not found to systematically differ in their use of supportive or non-supportive PES. Further, while controlling for mother and child ages, RF did not have a significant moderating effect on the relationships between maternal LPF and supportive and non-supportive PES. Taken together, findings suggest that increasing supportive PES and decreasing non-supportive PES could be helpful treatment targets for mothers with personality dysfunction
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
