Pluralistic Ignorance as a Contributing Factor to Concussion Underreporting
BACKGROUND: Concussion underreporting is endemic, and social norms are an established predictor of concussion reporting behavior. However, pluralistic ignorance-a situation in which most individuals in a group hold the belief that their peers' views differ from their own, despite views actually being similar-has not been studied in this context. AIM: To assess whether pluralistic ignorance contributes to concussion underreporting. METHOD: We surv…
Travels from Dostoevsky's Siberia
Elizabeth Blake's latest work affords Dostoevsky scholars an intriguing and captivating glimpse into the experience of Polish political prisoners whose time of exile in Siberia overlapped or coincided with Dostoevsky's own incarceration in Siberia. Blake states her task is “to introduce new avenues for understanding Fedor Dostoevsky's experience of incarceration and exile” (p. 1). Indeed, Blake's translations do just that. But they also forge a n…

The nature of the trade is described and a wide var…
General Occurrence of Stressful Reactions to Commercial Motion Pictures and Elements in Films Subjectively Identified as Stressors
By using a survey interview, two adult populations ( n = 53 and 72) were randomly sampled to determine how common it is for theatrical motion pictures to produce clinically significant stress-type reactions. A special questionnaire was prepared to gather data that would, among other things, determine whether or not a subject had been disturbed by a film and what that person's emotional and behavioral reactions were when they indicated that they w…
