To Improve the Instrumentality of History
Few civilizations in the world have paid as much attention to the instrumentality of history as Chinese civilization. Over its long span, this tradition underwent several notable turns, the most significant of which occurred during the Song period (960–1279). Ouyang Xiu’s reworking of the earlier histories and Sima Guang’s compilation of the stately Comprehensive Mirror to Aid in Government were examples of establishing the writing of history as …
Assess the Effects of Culturally Relevant Intervention on Breast Cancer Knowledge, Beliefs, and Mammography Use Among Korean American Women
Traumatic events involving friends and family members in a sample of African American early adolescents
The current study examines violent and nonviolent traumatic events involving friends and family members as predictors of PTSD, depression, internalizing, and externalizing behaviors in a sample of 403 African American early adolescents from chronically violent environments. Although there are many studies of urban children's exposure to community violence, few address the unique contribution of events involving significant others, and almost no r…
Longitudinal Changes in Acculturation for Immigrant Women From the Former Soviet Union
Most research on immigrant acculturation has been conducted with cross-sectional samples, using statistical designs that may not capture different trajectories for the components that contribute to this complex concept. The purpose of this study was to examine change over time in acculturation for 226 women from the former Soviet Union who had lived in the United States fewer than 8 years when recruited. Using self-report data from four annual wa…
Neighborhood immigrant concentration, acculturation, and cultural alienation in former soviet immigrant women
Several acculturation theories note the importance of surrounding context, but few studies describe neighborhood influences on immigrant adaptation. The purpose of this study was to examine relationships among neighborhood immigrant concentration, acculturation, and alienation for 151 women aged 44-80 from the former Soviet Union who lived in the US fewer than 13 years. Participants resided in 65 census tracts in the Chicago area with varying con…
The Relationship Between Extroversion and Leisure Motivation
In this study the relationship between extroversion and leisure motivation in Taiwanese fitness center members was examined. A systematic sampling (one out of ten entering the fitness center) produced 424 usable questionnaires for the final data analysis. The findings reveal that extroversion is positively correlated with the four leisure motivation dimensions: Intellectual, Social, Competence-mastery and Stimulus-avoidance. We therefore conclude…
Menopausal Transition Symptoms in Midlife Women Living With Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue
We aimed to determine how menopausal transition symptoms cluster across 216 midlife women with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndromes (FMS/CFS), or both and subsequently to compare symptom factor severity scores by menopausal status among these women and compare symptom reporting with prior community-based samples of women without obvious illness. We designed a cross-sectional telephone survey of 216 women aged 35 to 55, diagnosed with FMS/CFS, …
Accessibility of Health Clubs for People with Mobility Disabilities and Visual Impairments
Objective. We sought to examine the accessibility of health clubs to persons with mobility disabilities and visual impairments. Methods. We assessed 35 health clubs and fitness facilities as part of a national field trial of a new instrument, Accessibility Instruments Measuring Fitness and Recreation Environments (AIMFREE), designed to assess accessibility of fitness facilities in the following domains: (1) built environment, (2) equipment, (3) s…
