Emanuel Miller Lecture: Attachment insecurity, disinhibited attachment, and attachment disorders: where do research findings leave the concepts?
No full textBackground: Despite the evidence on anomalous attachment patterns, there has been a tendency to interpret most of these as reflecting differences in security/insecurity.Methods: Empirical research findings are reviewed in relation to attachment/insecurity as evident in both infancy and later childhood, disorganised attachment, inhibited attachment disorder, and disinhibited attachment disorder.Findings: Substantial differences are found in the correlates and meaning of these different features, as well as in the patterns associated with conditions such as autism, psychopathy, and Williams syndrome.Conclusions: It is seriously misleading to view all of these patterns through the lens of security/insecurity. This heterogeneity in social relationship features necessarily has implications for the assessment measures for social relationships that need to be used
What makes for stress or depression among select residents in rural western Wisconsin: namely Barron, Chippewa, Dunn, Pierce, Polk, and St. Croix county's population meeting the 1998 U. S. Department of Health and Services poverty guideline
Full text linkPlan BEach of us encounters daily responsibilities and obligations, along with pressures that challenge are very existence called stress or depression. The purpose of this correlational study was to identify areas of need contributing to, or influencing stress or depression in the impoverished rural western Wisconsin residents.
The randomly selected sample group for this study included 785 subjects age eighteen and older living in Barron, Chippewa, Dunn, Pierce, Pepin, Polk, and St. Croix counties. The subjects were selected from the West Central Wisconsin Community Action Agency’s, (West CAP), Client Intake System, (CIS), which included over 3,000 entries from these seven counties. Also, 310 subjects were selected from the Low Income, Housing, and Energy Assistance Program, (LIHEAP), listing in the seven counties.
The results obtained by this author include all correlations among the 15 categories contained in this study, yielding a total of 225 inter-correlations. The author has presented an analysis of only those 15 variables, which are directly correlated with stress or depression.
The discussion centered on the most critical needs identified which were the need for counseling, and food, and nutrition. The most significant of these need areas is counseling. The Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient identified that all but one of the independent variables correlates with stress or depression.
This author concludes that there is a need for additional and more specific research conducted with rural low-income populations. This study leaves question around how poverty level relates to the degree of self-reported stress or depression. Thus, the present study fills a need for information concerning degrees of stress and depression in rural populations

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
