Trends and Contributing Factors in Medication Home Delivery Incidents in Community Pharmacies Before and After Covid-19
This study examines medication home delivery incidents reported in community pharmacies before and after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Medication home delivery incidents are defined as medication errors that occur during the transportation of medication to patients outside the pharmacy through shipping, courier, or pharmacy delivery services. The objective was to analyze trends over time and identify contributing factors to inform patient s…
Affect Control Theory Applied to Morality
This paper explores the application of affect control theory (ACT) to the study of morality. A concise statement of ACT sets the stage for presenting examples of applying the theory to morality. This includes exploring the moral implications or overtones of social concepts (social identities, behaviors, traits, and settings); computer simulations of impressions created by moral and immoral events; and a discussion of several studies directly appl…
Reductionism
I begin my address by identifying three vertical directions of reductionism (upward, horizontal, and downward) with ontological (descriptive) and epistemological (explanatory) forms. Following a brief discussion of horizontal reductionism, I deal with upward reductionism in terms of postmodernist thought and its influence on social scientists. In my discussion of downward reductionism, I reject ontological (descriptive) reductionism while embraci…
Operationalizing the Relation Between Affect and Cognition With the Somatic Transform
This article introduces the somatic transform that operationalizes the relation between affect and cognition at the psychological level of analysis by capitalizing on the relation between the cognitive-denotative and affective-connotative meaning of concepts as measured with semantic differential rating scales. Following discussion of levels of analysis, the importance of language at the psychological level, and two principles (inextricability an…
Identification of Vulnerable Populations and Areas at Higher Risk of Covid-19-Related Mortality during the Early Stage of the Epidemic in the United States
We characterized vulnerable populations located in areas at higher risk of COVID-19-related mortality and low critical healthcare capacity during the early stage of the epidemic in the United States. We analyze data obtained from a Johns Hopkins University COVID-19 database to assess the county-level spatial variation of COVID-19-related mortality risk during the early stage of the epidemic in relation to health determinants and health infrastruc…
Spatiotemporal transmission dynamics of the Covid-19 pandemic and its impact on critical healthcare capacity
The role of geospatial disparities in the dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic is poorly understood. We developed a spatially-explicit mathematical model to simulate transmission dynamics of COVID-19 disease infection in relation with the uneven distribution of the healthcare capacity in Ohio, U.S. The results showed substantial spatial variation in the spread of the disease, with localized areas showing marked differences in disease attack rates. H…
Using the H ealth B elief M odel to explain patient involvement in patient safety
BACKGROUND: With the knowledge that patient safety incidents can significantly impact patients, providers and health-care organizations, greater emphasis on patient involvement as a means to mitigate risks warrants further research. OBJECTIVE: To understand whether patient perceptions of patient safety play a role in patient involvement in factual and challenging patient safety practices and whether the constructs of the Health Belief Model (HBM)…
The Active Patient Role and Asthma Outcomes in an Underserved Rural Community
PURPOSE: Patient activation, an individual's knowledge, skills, and confidence for managing their own health and health care, can play an important role in the management of chronic conditions. However, few studies have examined patient activation in underserved rural communities. The purpose of this study was to describe patient activation and examine how patient activation is associated with adherence to asthma maintenance medication and diseas…
Confirming Delivery
The purpose of our study was to gain an understanding of current patient involvement in medication administration safety from the perspectives of both patients and nursing staff members. Administering medication is taken for granted and therefore suited to the development of theory to enhance its understanding. We conducted a constructivist, grounded theory study involving 24 patients and 26 nursing staff members and found that patients had the r…
Self, Identity, and Social Institutions
This book shows how the individual constructs a self from the thousands of colloquial identities provided by a society's culture, and reveals how the individual actualizes and sustains an integrated a
Changes in Identity Attitudes as Reflections of Social and Cultural Change
An established tradition in sociological research, trend analysis is exemplified by studies relating change in social attitudes to change in the behaviour of collectivities or to the social structural location of respondents. Employing data from Canadian research in control (a mathematical formalization of classic identity theories in sociological social psychology), the study reported in this paper is the first to connect changes in attitudes fo…
The Affective Bases for the Gendering of Traits
In this study we reconsider the relationships between gender stereotypes and the three universal dimensions of affective meaning: Evaluation (E), Potency (P), and Activity (A). Multiple regression analyses of comparable data sets for the United States and Canada are aimed at the most contentious question found in the literature: To what extent are male and female stereotypes differentiated along the E dimension? We find that, net of P and A, high…

The Meaning of Occupational Prestige Scores
This research reexamines the meaning of occupational prestige scores from the social psychological perspective of identity theory. Using comparable data for Canada and the United States, it analyzes the degree to which the education and income levels of occupations influence occupational prestige judgements by evoking affective associations (feelings about the goodness, powerfulness, and liveliness of occupational identities), as well as the exte…

Inflation and Relative Price Variability
Little evidence is found of a stable structural relationship between aggregate inflation and relative price variability in the Un ited Kingdom. The main contributors to relative price variability are prices of goods that are sensitive to policy changes such as alcohol and tobacco, rates, and rents. This contrasts with the U.S. experien ce where changes in relative price variability can be traced to commo dity price shocks, rather than policy. The…
Affective bases of likelihood judgments
Analyses of likelihood judgments for 515 events support the idea that the perceived likelihood of an event is partly a function of affective processes. Production of affective disturbances makes events seem unlikely. Event likelihoods also are influenced by specific kinds of people and behaviors which are involved in the events. Affective determination of likelihood is stronger when actors have institutionally‐clear identities rather than institu…

Profile Analysis in the Search for Structure Underlying Role Expectations
Beginning with a brief review of the properties of profiles, alternative methods of profile analysis for studying the similarity of individual and group profiles in role analysis are discussed, proceeding from the simple-Jackson's method for studying the structural properties of norms-to the more complex-the factor analysis of cross-products matrices of raw scores as a technique for clustering profiles. The relationship of cross-products analysis…
