From High Standards to High-Risk: Linking Parental Socialization to Problematic Drinking Through Perfectionism
No full textThe current study sought to examine the indirect effects of perceived parental perfectionistic expectations on alcohol-related problems in emerging adulthood. Specifically, it explores how these expectations interact with perceived parental response styles (conditional negative regard, conditional positive regard, unconditional positive regard, and contingent punishment) in relation to two dimensions of perfectionism (perfectionistic standards and discrepancy). In turn we examined how these dimensions of perfectionism are associated with alcohol-related problems in emerging adulthood through negative effects and drinking to cope. Using a sample of 331 emerging adults, results indicate that when coupled with high parental expectations, the perception of parental conditional negative regard and contingent punishment in adolescence were associated with maladaptive perfectionism (high standards and discrepancy) in emerging adulthood. Perfectionistic discrepancy was then found to be predictive of alcohol-related problems through heightened levels of negative affect and coping-motivated drinking. Additionally, findings suggest that perfectionistic standards serve as a protective factor against problematic drinking. This study contributes to the understanding of how parent socialization influences perfectionistic tendencies and alcohol-related problems in emerging adulthood
An exploratory study of the Economic and Psychosocial barriers in receiving prenatal care among racial minority women, 1995
No full textThe purpose of this study was to examine the economic and psychosocial barriers to receiving adequate prenatal care among racial minority women.The respondents for this study were thirty racial minority women. The sixteenAfrican-American and fourteen Hispanic women respondents were all postpartum patients at Grady Memorial Hospital. The content of the study includes an in-depth look at both the economic and psychosocial barriers to receiving adequate use prenatal care, as well as the historical perspective. The related topics of low birthweight and infant mortality are also examined. The Cognitive Theory was examined in an attempt to understand the reasoning behind racial minority women not receiving adequate prenatal care. A Pearson's "r" correlation was conducted between the independent variables and the dependent variable. Both of the null hypotheses were accepted. Therefore, the major findings in this study concluded that there was no statistical significance between economic and psychosocial barriers and receiving adequate prenatal care among racial minority women
An investigation into the dielectric properties of selenium, 1987
No full textThe nature of chalcogenides as electrets is virtually an unexplored arena. Electrets now exist in a variety of forms such as the electroelectret, thermal electret, photoelectret, radioelectret and magnetelectrets. An investigation of selenium as a dielectric is employed using the method necessary for the preparation of thermal electrets. The effect of the various parameters such as charging time, charging temperature and sample dimensions are investigated and observed. From these observations a conclusion can be made to the type of preferred orientation taking place in the material; be it dipole orientation, ion transfer or carrier displacement
