An intervention for relational and physical aggression in early childhood: A preliminary study

A preventive intervention for reducing physical and relational aggression, peer victimization, and increasing prosocial behavior was developed for use in early childhood classrooms. Nine classrooms were randomly assigned to be intervention rooms (N = 202 children) and nine classrooms were control rooms (N = 201 children). Classroom was the unit of analysis and both observations and teacher-reports were obtained at pre and post-test. Focus groups were used to develop the initial program. The 6-week program consisted of developmentally appropriate puppet shows, active participatory sessions, passive concept activities and in vivo reinforcement periods. Preliminary findings suggest that the “Early Childhood Friendship Project” tended to reduce physical and relational aggression, as well as physical and relational victimization and tended to increase prosocial behavior more for intervention than control classrooms. Teachers and interventionists provided positive evaluations of the program and there is evidence for appropriate program implementation.  相似文献   

Internet based sensory analysis of tennis balls     

C. Steele  R. Jones  P. G. Leaney 《Sports Engineering》2007,10(1):33-47

Player perception of sports equipment affects attitudes towards product performance and quality. While assessing product ‘feel’ is a developing area of sports engineering research, the importance of product aesthetics on player psychology has been largely overlooked. Desirable aesthetics can increase product appeal and customer satisfaction, despite limited effects on product performance. Player perception of product quality is normally evaluated using an extensive interview and testing process that is expensive and time consuming. Use of the internet provides the opportunity to generate data more quickly. Two internet-based sensory evaluation investigations examining tennis ball aesthetics are detailed in this paper. The first investigation examines player perception of ball fuzziness: an aesthetic attribute with documented importance in ball aerodynamics. The second investigation looks to determine the relative importance of three different aesthetic attributes in perceived ball playability. Results of these investigations indicate that internet-based sensory evaluation techniques can be successfully used to elicit perception of product quality and preference. Responses showed that internet evaluations of ball fuzziness relate well to tactile ones. Ball fuzziness is nearly twice as important as ball logo in determining ball playability, while colour can be considered only a minor factor. Results from both investigations support the use of internet-based sensory evaluations as a cost-effective, efficient method of gathering data on product aesthetics that could be useful in a range of applications and could aid product development in the sports industry.  相似文献

The persistence of social attraction in socially deprived and satiated rats     

Bibb Latané  Claude Steele 《Learning & behavior》1975,3(2):131-134

Pairs of socially deprived or satiated rats were observed for 71÷2 continuous hours in an open field. Social contact increased monotonically throughout this time, with socially deprived animals showing more attraction, and a greater increase in attraction, than satiated animals. The quality of social contact changed, however, from a predominantly active interaction, in which the most sociable animals were most mobile, to a predominantly passive huddling, in which the most sociable animals were least mobile. The results suggest that social attraction in rats is not transitory, and may serve several different functions.  相似文献   

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Questionnaire and Adult Attachment Interview (AAI): Implications for parent child relationships     

Anne Murphy  Miriam Steele  Shanta Rishi Dube  Jordan Bate  Karen Bonuck  Paul Meissner  Hannah Goldman  Howard Steele 《Child abuse & neglect》2014

Although Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are linked to increased health problems and risk behaviors in adulthood, there are no studies on the association between ACEs and adults’ states of mind regarding their early childhood attachments, loss, and trauma experiences. To validate the ACEs questions, we analyzed the association between ACEs and emotional support indicators and Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) classifications in terms of unresolved mourning regarding past loss or trauma and discordant states of mind in cannot classify (U/CC) interviews. Seventy-five urban women (41 clinical and 34 community) completed a questionnaire on ACEs, which included 10 categories of abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction, in addition to emotional support. Internal psychological processes or states of mind concerning attachment were assessed using the AAI. ACE responses were internally consistent (Cronbach's α = .88). In the clinical sample, 84% reported ≥ 4 ACEs compared to 27% among the community sample. AAIs judged U/CC occurred in 76% of the clinical sample compared to 9% in the community sample. When ACEs were ≥ 4, 65% of AAIs were classified U/CC. Absence of emotional support in the ACEs questionnaire was associated with 72% of AAIs being classified U/CC. As the number of ACEs and the lack of emotional support increases so too does the probability of AAIs being classified as U/CC. Findings provide rationale for including ACEs questions in pediatric screening protocols to identify and offer treatment reducing the intergenerational transmission of risk associated with problematic parenting.  相似文献   

Political Ideology and Perceptions of Social Justice Advocacy Among Members of the American Counseling Association     

Janeé M. Steele  Gary H. Bischof  Stephen E. Craig 《International journal for the advancement of counseling》2014,36(4):450-467

This study explored perceptions of social justice advocacy among liberal, moderate, and conservative members (N?=?214) of the American Counseling Association (ACA). Results showed that conservative participants had somewhat less favorable perceptions of social justice advocacy, but generally did not differ statistically from liberal and moderate participants. Statistically significant differences, however, were found among extremely liberal participants. All participants generally supported the use of ACA resources for social activism. Implications and limitations are discussed.  相似文献
