Sun protection, sunburn, tanning, and family factors among melanoma survivors and their minor children
Use of recommended sun protection strategies among minor children of melanoma survivors is suboptimal and as a result, these children receive excess ultraviolet radiation exposure that further increases their melanoma risk. Among a sample of 368 melanoma survivor-child dyads, the relationship between family-focused factors and child sun protection and related outcomes was examined, as well as the relations of family factors with individual sun-pr…
Parent and child perspectives on family interactions related to melanoma risk and prevention after CDKN2A/p16 testing of minor children
Discussion of photoprotection, screening, and risk behaviors with children and grandchildren after melanoma genetic testing
Preferences for Blood-Based Colon Cancer Screening Differ by Race/Ethnicity
Blood-based screening for CRC was widely favored. Future research on medical decision-making should examine the basis for racial/ethnic differences in biomarker screening preferences
Self-affirmation counters the effects of self-regulatory resource depletion on height perception
God and Agency in the Era of Molecular Medicine: Religious Beliefs Predict Sun-Protection Behaviors Following Melanoma Genetic Test Reporting

Emotion Regulation Across the Life Span: An Integrative Perspective Emphasizing Self-Regulation, Positive Affect, and Dyadic Processes
Prospects, Pitfalls, and Plans: A Proactive Perspective on Social Comparison Activity
Most studies of social comparison activity have focused on reactive comparisons (those directed toward understanding outcomes that are already known), with little attention to proactive comparisons (those directed toward understanding future possibilities). We examine the usefulness of this distinction for understanding the motives underlying comparison activity and responses to upward and downward comparisons. When an outcome is known, compariso…
Rethinking the Role of Positive Affect in Self-Regulation
Self-Affirmation Reduces Biased Processing of Health-Risk Information
A stitch in time: Self-regulation and proactive coping
In a conceptual and temporal framework, derived from research on social cognition, social interaction, and stress and coping, the authors analyze the processes through which people anticipate or detect potential stressors and act in advance to prevent them or to mute their impact (proactive coping). The framework specifies five stages in proactive coping: (1) resource accumulation, (2) recognition of potential stressors, (3) initial appraisal, (4…
Effects of social comparison direction, threat, and self-esteem on affect, self-evaluation, and expected success
Optimism, coping, psychological distress, and high-risk sexual behavior among men at risk for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (Aids)
In a cohort of gay men responding to the threat of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), dispositional optimism was associated with less distress, less avoidant coping, positive attitudes as a coping strategy, and fewer AIDS-related concerns. Men who knew they were seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) were significantly more optimistic about not developing AIDS than men who knew they were seronegative for HIV. This AIDS-specif…
Modeling cognitive adaptation: A longitudinal investigation of the impact of individual differences and coping on college adjustment and performance
Drawing on cognitive adaptation theory, optimism, psychological control, and self-esteem were explored as longitudinal predictors of adjustment to college in a sample of 672 freshmen. Although a direct effect of optimism on adjustment was found, most of the predicted effects were mediated by coping methods. Controlling for initial positive and negative mood, the beneficial effects of optimism, control, and self-esteem on adjustment were mediated …
