Personality change and personality as predictor of change in psychotherapy: A longitudinal study in a community mental health clinic
An Exploratory Trial of Cognitive-Behavioral vs Client-Centered Therapies for Child-Mother Dyads Bereaved from Terrorism
Development of the Healthcare Triggering Questionnaire in adult sexual abuse survivors
The HTQ scales are a psychometrically sound approach to evaluating healthcare triggering experienced by adult sexual abuse survivors. The HTQ may be considered for use by researchers interested in studying healthcare triggering, healthcare retraumatization, and healthcare adherence. The HTQ may also be of use to clinicians interested in identifying trauma survivors who are more likely to experience triggering in healthcare settings. (PsycINFO Dat…
Pleasant Events, Hopelessness, and Quality of Life in Rural Older Adults
PURPOSE: Rural older adults are susceptible to depression and reduced quality of life. This study explored contrasting explanations (behavioral vs cognitive route) for the relation of emotional distress with quality of life. METHODS: This retrospective study included rural older adults (N = 134) with reduced quality of life and increased psychological symptoms. Multiple mediation analysis was conducted to test the indirect effect of engagement in…
Self-Esteem and the Acute Effect of Anxiety on Ambulatory Blood Pressure
OBJECTIVES: Recent research suggests that self-esteem may be associated with improved parasympathetic nervous system functioning. This study tested whether high self-esteem is associated with decreased ambulatory systolic blood pressure (ASBP) reactivity to anxiety in healthy adults during the waking hours of a normal day. METHODS: Each of 858 participants completed a short version of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and then wore an ABP monitor t…
Perceived Discrimination and Medication Adherence in Black Hypertensive Patients: The Role of Stress and Depression
clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT00233220
Trait anxiety and trait anger measured by ecological momentary assessment and their correspondence with traditional trait questionnaires
Children’s Responses to Community Violence: The Roles of Avoidant and Confrontive Coping
Directionality of the Relationship Between Depressive Symptom Dimensions and C-Reactive Protein in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes
OBJECTIVE: Previous theoretical models predict that elevated inflammation may predict later depressive symptoms, but bidirectional associations are possible. We examined whether depressive symptoms or inflammation predicts change in the other for a 3-month period in a sample of adults with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). METHODS: During hospitalization for their index ACS event (baseline) and then again 1 and 3 months later, 163 post-ACS patients…
The Perceived Ethnic Discrimination Questionnaire—Community Version: Validation in a multiethnic Asian sample
This study evaluated the validity and reliability of the Perceived Ethnic Discrimination Questionnaire-Community Version (PEDQ-CV) Lifetime Exposure scale in a multiethnic Asian sample (N = 509). The 34-item scale measures perceived interpersonal racial/ethnic discrimination and includes four subscales assessing different types of discrimination: Social Exclusion, Stigmatization, Discrimination at Work/School, and Threat/Aggression. The Lifetime …
Hostility and Platelet Reactivity in Individuals Without a History of Cardiovascular Disease Events
OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between hostility and platelet reactivity in individuals without a prior history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. Hostility is associated with incident CVD events, independent of traditional risk factors. Increased platelet reactivity and thrombus formation over a disrupted coronary plaque are fundamental for CVD event onset. METHODS: Hypertensive patients (n = 42) without concomitant CVD event history…
Positive Aspects of Alzheimer's Caregiving: The Role of Race
We examined differences in positive aspects of caregiving (PAC) among 275 African American and 343 Caucasian caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease from the National Institutes of Health Resources for Enhancing Alzheimer's Care Health (REACH) study sites in Birmingham, Memphis, and Philadelphia. African Americans reported higher scores on PAC than did Caucasians. African Americans' higher religiosity partially mediated the relationshi…

A Structural Evaluation of the Expanded Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale with a Diverse Sample of Caucasian/European, Native, and Black Canadian Women
The Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC) scale is a widely used measure of the factors that people believe exert some control over their health. The purpose of the research reported here is to provide an independent evaluation of the structural properties of the recently expanded MHLC. Specifically we sought to address the issue of the interdependence of the external locus of control scales (Powerful Others, God, and Chance) and the le…
Handshaking, gender, personality, and first impressions
Although people's handshakes are thought to reflect their personality and influence our first impressions of them, these relations have seldom been formally investigated. One hundred twelve participants had their hand shaken twice by 4 trained coders (2 men and 2 women) and completed 4 personality measures. The participants' handshakes were stable and consistent across time and coders. There were also gender differences on most of the handshaking…
Personality, Interactive Relations, and Applied Psychology
Shared Meaning and the Convergence among Observers' Personality Descriptions
“Shared meaning” is a parameter in Kenny's (1991) rater agreement model concerning the extent to which two raters agree about the trait‐implicative meaning of the observations they have made of a target. In the first study, 201 individuals rated observations relevant to friendliness and organization on the meaning dimensions of typicality, difficulty level, and evaluation. They also rated 25 targets on the two constructs. We found strong support …
The Next Generation of Moderator Research in Personality Psychology
The concept of a moderator variable has a long and checkered history in personality psychology. In this article I review the methodological and conceptual advances in recent moderator variable research. I then report the results of a number of empirical analyses of three newly proposed idiographic moderator variables: scalability, metatraits, and construct similarity, as well as the ipsatized variance index. The results of these analyses indicate…
Cause and Correlation: One More Time
The distinction between correlational studies and correlational statistics is crucial to an understanding of the type of inferences that can be drawn from research. The complementary nature of correlational and experimental research in theory building is discussed
Self‐Ratings of Personality: A Naturalistic Comparison of Normative, Ipsative, and Idiothetic Standards
The purpose of this research is to examine some of the implicit standards that individuals may use when they rate themselves on personality dimensions Specifically, we compared ratings based on instructions that specified normative, ipsative, or idiothetic creteria with ratings obtained when subjects used their own (implicit) standards In a series of three studies, we found that each of the explicit ratings was highly similar to the implicit‐stan…

Conceptions of states and traits: Dimensional attributes with ideals as prototypes
A failure to replicate the Bem and Allen study of individual differences in cross-situational consistency
Bem and Allen (1974) purportedly found evidence that, by using self-report measures of cross-situational consistency as moderator variables, it was possible to substantially increase the size of correlation coefficients computed among measures of each of two personality traits. The present study was undertaken to (a) replicate the Bem and Allen finding on a larger set of personality traits, (b) determine if the results hold differentially for sel…
