Pilot study of attentional retraining for postpartum smoking relapse
AR using EMA methodology via a mobile device is feasible in perinatal smokers. Further research using larger samples is required to evaluate the utility of mobile AR in reducing craving and smoking
Enhancing Smoking Risk Communications
Objectives: One way to enhance the impact of smoking health risk messages may be to tailor their content to individual difference factors such as need for cognition (NFC). In this study, we examined how NFC influenced responses to different smoking risk messages. Outcomes included knowledge, risk perceptions, and behavioral expectations related to quitting smoking. Methods: We randomized 402 participants to one of 4 different risk message sets th…
A systematic review of attentional biases in disorders involving binge eating
Clinical relevance of implicit cognition in addiction
Chapter 9 explores the clinical relevance of implicit cognition in addiction, including the associations between drug dependence and implicit measures, relationships with clinical outcomes, and the effects of treatment on implicit measures. The chapter also presents a discussion on the clinical and measurement issues involved.
Lower health literacy predicts smoking relapse among racially/ethnically diverse smokers with low socioeconomic status
Findings suggest that lower HL may serve as an independent risk factor for smoking relapse among low-SES, racially/ethnically diverse smokers enrolled in treatment. Future research is needed to investigate longitudinal relations between HL and cessation outcomes and potential mechanisms of this relationship
Associations Between Health Literacy and Established Predictors of Smoking Cessation
Objectives. We examined associations between health literacy and predictors of smoking cessation among 402 low-socioeconomic status (SES), racially/ethnically diverse smokers. Methods. Data were collected as part of a larger study evaluating smoking health risk messages. We conducted multiple linear regression analyses to examine relations between health literacy and predictors of smoking cessation (i.e., nicotine dependence, smoking outcome expe…
Neighborhood Vigilance, Health Locus of Control, and Smoking Abstinence
Results suggest that neighborhood perceptions influence residents' attributions for health outcomes, which can affect smoking abstinence
Administering the Implicit Association Test in an Ecological Momentary Assessment Study
The Implicit Association Test (IAT) is widely used to assess automatic associations in memory. The feasibility of administering the test in an Ecological Momentary Assessment setting was examined with 15 smokers and 15 nonsmokers who carried a handheld computer for 1 wk. as they went about their daily lives. They completed the Implicit Association Test on the computer at random times 4 times a day and whenever they felt suddenly anxious. Overall,…
Correlates of susceptibility to smoking among Mexican origin youth residing in Houston, Texas
Our findings suggest that interventions that target positive expectations about smoking may be useful in this population. Furthermore, because youth encounter smoking-initiation risk factors in different social environments, our results underscore the continued need for both family- and school-based primary prevention programs to adequately combat their influence. The results also can be used to inform the development of culturally sensitive prog…
Are variations in rates of attending cultural activities associated with population health in the United States
The data confirm that an association between cultural activity and health is present in a US sample. The data do not mean that the association is causal, but they suggest that further longitudinal research is warranted
Processing Bias for Terror-Related Stimuli and September 11Th-Related Distress in College Students
The psychological sequelae of the September 11th terrorist attacks were examined in 249 college students at three sites in the USA and one site in the UK in the year following the attacks. Participants completed questionnaires tapping 9/ 11-related exposure and distress, and completed a modified Stroop task assessing time to color-name cards containing terror-related and neutral words. Geographical location and amount of exposure to the attacks w…
Visuospatial abilities of chess players
The extent to which the acquisition of expertise in knowledge-rich domains, such as chess, can be influenced by general individual characteristics, such as intelligence, has remained unclear. Some previous studies with children have documented significant correlations between chess skill and performance on some psychometric tests, such as performance IQ. However, we found no evidence for a correlation between chess skill and visual memory ability…
Expertise in musical sight reading
Musical sight reading on the piano represents a complex transcription task involving a series of overlapping perceptual, cognitive and motoric processes. It is suggested that skilled sight reading requires the development of efficient input skills, especially ‘pattern recognition’ skills, ‘prediction’ skills and the ability to generate and use auditory representations. The sight‐reading ability of pianists was assessed before being tested in a se…
I 10, 5 and 6
This complex, straddling the north-west angle of the Casa del Menandro and the northeast angle of the Casa del Fabbro, consists of two separate elements. The first, occupying the ground floor, is a shop-cum-workshop (measuring approximately 3.50 m. × 4.60 m.) entered from entrance 6 (Pl. 73), with what is perhaps a living room (6A, measuring 2.30 m. × 4.50 m.) to the east of it. The second is a staircase (5), 1 m. wide, which ascends directly fro…
I 10, 2-3
No part of I 10, 2-3 is protected by a modern roof, and the house is now in such a ruinous condition as to render interpretation difficult. The form of the house, like that of 1 10, 1, is very irregular. It has a street frontage of much the same width as its neighbour, but loses space at the rear to the latter’s kitchen yard; at the same time, its backmost rooms (10-12) project into the property behind (I 10,18). The result is a plan which is rel…
I 10, 1
This small corner house had acquired an irregular plan in its final phase, thanks, on the one hand, to the offset caused by the fountain at the street corner (Pls. 1, 2), and, on the other, to the small kitchen yard projecting westwards into the neighbouring property 1 10, 2-3. Its entrance, protected by a pent roof, the beam-holes for which (19 cm. in diameter) are visible beneath its modern replacement (Pl 3), was set at the right extremity of …
