An analysis of Nepal’s Draft Mental Health Acts 2006–2017
This qualitative study maps the process of drafting and consulting on Nepal’s mental health legislation from 2006 to 2017. A total of 14 people were interviewed and interviews were analysed thematically. These themes were subsequently interpreted in light of Shiffman and Smith’s policy analysis framework, as the process was found to be at the agenda-setting stage. Two groups of actors were identified with different views on appropriate policy con…
Infants’ physiological responses to emotionally salient media with links to parent and child, empathy, prosocial behaviors and media use
PS21 Evaluation of Maternity Care Intervention in Rural Nepal
Background In developing countries, where the majority of the world’s maternal deaths occur it is recognised that to target maternal mortality within limited resources, safe motherhood strategies need to be targeted to rural areas and to the poor in order to increase access to antenatal care and delivery care. In these populations, a lack of understanding of local beliefs and practices, and the reasons for them, can hinder the development of appr…
The Rhetoric of Women's Leadership
This study examines women's leadership through a rhetorical lens. Thirty women leaders in church, business, and higher education were interviewed with an eye toward discovering ways in which their use of language shapes and is shaped by their sense of themselves as leaders, the legacy of leadership they bring to their roles, and the importance of their words for the people with whom they work. The women included Euro-American, African-American an…
Turn-Taking on the Telephone
This study was designed to investigate some important aspects of turn-taking in one type of structured telephone conversation, namely, travel enquiry calls. Specifically, it investigated under what conditions subjects could distinguish turn-final and turn-medial utterances taken from such conversations and presented out of context. The first part of the investigation sought to determine if judges could make this distinction on the basis of an aud…
On Judging the Ends of Speaker Turns in Conversation
This study sought to determine if subjects could discriminate turn-final and turn-medial utterances taken from different types of natural conversation and presented out of context. The main aim of the study was to see if subjects could make this distinction when presented with either an audio recording of the utterances, thus testing the role of prosody, paralanguage plus syntax and semantics in the turn-taking process, or a typescript of the utt…

Relationship of Trait Anxiety to Self-Esteem of Children in Grades 4, 5, and 6
This study compared the relation of trait anxiety as measured by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children and self-esteem as measured by Coopersmith's Self-esteem Inventory in independent samples of children in Grades 4, 5, and 6. Pearson correlations were, respectively, -.51, -.62, and -.71. The differences in correlations between the highest and lowest grades were statistically significant. While trait anxiety and self-esteem summed score…
Use of the AML scale to identify adjustment problems in fourth‐, fifth‐, and sixth‐grade children
This paper summarizes a series of studies of the technical merit of the AML scale when used to detect school maladaptation in a sample of 684 fourth, fifth, and sixth-grade children. Teachers, who did the rating, readily accepted this screening device. Preliminary norms are offered. Reliability and factor analytic studies show a reasonable degree of uniqueness and internal consistency among the three AML subscales. Relationships to other children…
