The Impact of Dyadic Social Support on Self-Efficacy and Depression After Radical Prostatectomy
Findings confirm pilot study results and are theoretically consistent with the self-efficacy enhancing nature of vicarious experience described by Bandura in self-efficacy theory
Ethnic Differences in the Reliability and Validity of a Panic Disorder Screen
These findings support the notion that cultural differences in the language and meaning associated with anxiety disorders contribute to the difficulty of accurately diagnosing PD in primary care populations.

Such research would facilitate the development of better screening tools for panic and other anxiety disorders for ethnic minor…

Skipped Generation Families: Sources of Psychological Distress Among Grandmothers of Grandchildren Who Live in Homes Where Neither Parent Is Present
Today, more than at any period in U.S. history, more grandparents are raising their grandchildren. In many instances, the biological parents are absent from these grandparent-headed households for a variety of reasons.

Using data from the National…

Social gerontologists have brought to the forefront the need to consider the impact of historical eras, cohort location, and lifecourse development when studying various dimensions of the ageing process. Unfortunately, this type of theorisi…

In general, there was an overwhelming positive portrayal of grandparents in these books. Positive grandparent characteristics such as independence …
