Positive Psychological Predictors of Preparedness for Tornadoes, Structural Fires, and Large-Scale Disease Outbreaks: A Study of US University Students and Employees
Individuals often underestimate disaster risk and overestimate their own preparedness, even for disasters they have experienced.

Posttraumatic growth (PTG), or positive changes after a stressor, could explain how some, but not all, disaster survivors come to value and engage in pr…

Previous research has suggested that perceiving absurd humor to be funny decreases people's tendency to fluid compensate, suggesting that humor is a meaning-making process. However, these results may have been confounded by mortality salience effects. Furthermore, few stu…

Moreover, the role of meaning in films is pivotal for understanding…
On the measurement of meaning: Logotherapy's empirical contributions to humanistic psychology
Meaningful living is a central focus of several humanistic theories and therapies.

Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Computer Understanding and Experience Scale 1
The two-factor structure (Technical Competence, General Competence) of the Computer Understanding and Experience Scale was examined through confirmatory factor analysis with a sample of 293 undergraduates from a medium-sized university located in the southern USA. Analysis indicated that the two-factor subscale structure of the Computer Understanding and Experience Scale was supported. The Computer Understanding and Experience Scale's total score…
On the Relationship between Meaning in Life and Boredom Proneness: Examining a Logotherapy Postulate
Logotherapy, developed by Viktor Frankl, posits that when one lacks meaning in life, boredom can result. Thus, the two constructs should be inversely related. To examine this relationship, 279 students (M = 19.8 yr., SD = 2.6; 179 women, 98 men) from a university in the southern United States were administered the Purpose of Life test and the Boredom Proneness Scale. As expected, a statistically significant negative correlation was found between …
