Hope and Capacity
As I started thinking about hope, I realized that there are two kinds. There’s unconditional hope, as in “hope springs eternal,” or “no matter how bad things get, I’m not giving up hope.” And there
A Dynamic Discrete Choice Approach to Attitude Stability and Constraint
We model attitude stability and constraint, using a dynamic discrete choice framework for multiple attitudes, to identify influential attitudes within attitude systems. Its value-added includes insights about different sources of (in)stability, the direction of causation between attitudes, and their relative degree of influence; capturing time-invariant individual traits with a multiple factor structure; and addressing the ordinal nature of attit…

Discussion of Jeffrey Stern’s “The Pilgrim’s Progress”: Needed Relationships as an Orienting Principle for Contemporary Psychoanalysis
This paper was written in the context of a conference—the 2017 Annual Conference of the International Association of Psychoanalytic Self Psychology in Chicago—and a plenary panel, both dedicated to the theme, “Empathic Depths and Relational Leaps: Creating Therapeutic Possibility.” Jeffrey Stern’s paper, “The Pilgrim’s Progress: A Therapist and Patient Journey to London,” had been one of the inspirations for this choice of theme; and selecting it…

Computer-Synthesized Speech and Perceptions of the Social Influence of Disabled Users
Computer-synthesized speech is frequently used as an assistive technology for people with speech disabilities including those with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In this short article, the conditions that lead to speech loss and how people perceive computer-synthesized speech, particularly when it is used by the speaking disabled, are discussed. Specific attention is paid to the author's own program of research that has examined how percept…
Positive Prejudice Toward Disabled Persons Using Synthesized Speech: Does the Effect Persist Across Contexts
In general, speech-disabled users of synthetic speech are viewed favorably compared to nondisabled users. The authors examined whether situational variables can affect this favorable view. Participants watched an actor deliver a persuasive appeal under conditions where speech (human vs. synthetic), disability status (unspecified vs. disabled), and situation (unspecified vs. telephone campaign) were varied. Perceptions of argument, message, voice,…

The Labor Market Experience of Workers with Disabilities: The ADA and Beyond
passed antidiscrimination legislation covering employment by state agencies and often employment by any firm doing business with the state. 2In addition, nearly all states by that time covered private employers in some form or another, and many states covered all employment, including that by very small firms (fewer than 15 workers).Common exclusions from the discrimination legislation included religious organizations, social clubs, family member…
Shared Caregiving Responsibilities of Adult Siblings with Elderly Parents
This paper uses a nonstructural, ordered discrete choice model to measure the effects of various parent and child characteristics upon the independent caregiving decisions of the adult children of elderly parents sampled in the 1982 and 1984 National Long Term Care Survey (NLTCS). While significant effects are noted, emphasis is placed on test statistics constructed to measure the independence of caregiving decisions. The test statistic results a…

Sexuality and mass media: The historical context of psychology's reaction to sexuality on the internet
Although the Internet is a relatively new technology, many concerns regarding it are not new. This applies to preoccupation with the transmission of sexual material and information over the Internet. In this analysis, we will examine a recurring pattern of scientific concern regarding sexuality in the media. Furthermore, we will discuss some overarching theories that help us to understand the expression of sexuality in mass media. Although the In…
Latin American, Asian, and American Cultural Differences in Perceptions of Spousal Abuse
College students (20 Latin American exchange students, 18 Asian exchange students, and 20 students born in the United States) participated in a study of the effects of culture on attitudes and perceptions of spousal abuse. Subjects completed a 23-item questionnaire developed to ascertain subjects' attitudes about spousal abuse, retaliatory behaviors, and the legal implications of those behaviors. Analyses showed many significant differences in at…
Two Dynamic Discrete Choice Estimation Problems and Simulation Method Solutions
This paper considers two problems that frequently arise in dynamic discrete choice problems but have not received much attention with regard to simulation methods. The first problem is how to simulate unbiased simulators of probabilities conditional on past history. The second is simulating a discrete transition probability model when the underlying dependent variable is really continuous. Both methods work well relative to reasonable alternative…
