A paradoxical peace
Conflict has traditionally been thought to contribute to the epidemic spread of HIV. New data call into question this assumption, and there is concern that the 'post-conflict phase' may be a particularly dangerous time for HIV transmission. The post-conflict phase is characterized by a potentially disastrous confluence of factors including demobilization of combatants, the presence of peacekeeping forces, the return of potentially infected soldie…

Coping resources and depression in the caregiving spouses of Alzheimer patients
This study deals with the self‐rated impact of caring for a spouse with Alzheimer's disease at home. Impacts on the caregiver's marriage, work, recreation and mood were investigated as a function of the patient's disability level and of the coping resources which caregivers reported were available to and/or used by them. The patient's disability level had a more negative impact on the caregiver's marriage and recreation than did the coping resour…
The concept of a university of the world
Long‐distance education is now possible because of advancements and improvements in international telecommunications. This paper sets forth the concept of a “University of the World” in which students use computers, radio, and television to take courses in their chosen discipline and, in return, receive course credit and even academic degrees. The author describes the concept, its educational goals and objectives, the availability of courseware, …

Depressive thinking and depression
The mechanisms by which social supports and personality variables may buffer against psychopathology are not well understood. We studied depression, depressive cognitions, social supports, and self-esteem in a sample of 68 spouse-caregivers of patients with Alzheimer's Disease in an attempt to identify possible buffering mechanisms of the latter two variables. Specifically, we hypothesized that the well-known relation of depressive cognitions to …
Social networks
Studies of social support networks have almost exclusively measured only their positive aspects. In this research, we investigated both the helpful or positive and the upsetting or negative aspects of social networks in a longitudinal study of spouses caring for a husband or wife with Alzheimer's disease, a progressive senile dementia. Measures of helpful and upsetting aspects of the care givers' networks, derived from interviews and daily intera…

Social support as a multifaceted concept
Four commonly used operationalizations of the social support concept: network contact frequency, satisfaction with support (including nine dimensions), perceived availability of support, and use of support, were related to two measures of psychological adjustment (Beck Depression Inventory and Symptom Checklist-90) and to one measure of physical adjustment (Cornell Medical Index). Subjects were 68 45- to 85-year-old, highly stressed care-givers t…
The Ways of Coping Checklist
This study examined the psychometric properties of the "original" seven factored scales derived by Aldwin et al. from Folkman and Lazarus' Ways of Coping Checklist (WCCL) versus a revised set of scales. Four psychometric properties were examined including the reproducibility of the factor structure of the original scales, the internal consistency reliabilities and intercorrelations of the original and the revised scales, the construct and concurr…
Anticonformity aspects of depression in mild depressive states
Controversial issues regarding the relation of conformity and anticonformity variants of dependency to depression and self‐esteem were examined. The Willis‐Hollander model of social influence and an experimental paradigm which permits differentiation of dependency responses into conformity and anticonformity subcategories were used. Ninety female college students who had been given the Beck Depression Inventory and a measure of self‐esteem engage…
Unemployment Insurance Financing
Social network interactions
Forty-four caregivers to spouses with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease provided a stressed subject population considered at high risk for depression. Unlike more typical unidirectional measures of perceived social support quality, subject ratings were elicited separately as to how helpful as well as how upsetting each network member was in five different support categories. Correlations between perceived network "upset" and depression (Beck Dep…

New departures in scientific and technical communication
Scientific institutions have the longest history and experience with information technology. The formative period is over, however, and the future will see increased attention given to the development of computer and communications tools for the individual scientist. The availability of new technology, particularly emerging national and international broadband communication systems, will enable scientists to reach out more broadly beyond the trad…

Alcoholism and Depression; The Factor Structure of Alcoholics' Responses to Depression Inventories
A factor analysis of the responses of items in self-reported depression revealed major similarities between the affect described by alcoholics and that of primarily depressed patients
Changes in Alcoholics' Self-Reported Depression
Two self-report measures of depression were administered to two groups of alcoholic inpatients at different times during treatment. Changes in depression appeared to be largely a function of improvement in somatic symptoms and in mood following alcohol withdrawal

Attempted Validation of a “Pragmatic Classification of Depression”
Limited aspects of Blinder's pragmatically derived classification of depressives based on syndrome characteristics were assessed. Blinder's syndrome descriptions were cast into items for an observer-rated interview and into a parallel, patient-rated schedule. Interobserver ratings were statistically reliable (γ′ = .78, p < .001). Patients' self-ratings were positively related to observer ratings (γ′ = .69, p = 01), but observers rated patients as…

Advisory Councils in Employment Security
The great growth of government in the twentieth century, as a major concomitant of an increasingly industrialized and urbanized society, has tended significantly to divorce the individual citizen from the processes of government. A number of devices for restoring the citizen's role in political decision-making, and thereby preserving the essentials of democratic government, have emerged, among them various forms of group participation. The adviso…
