Utilizing the California Cancer Registry, follow-up data on cancer recurrence and all-cause mortality were obtained for 54 of 58 women originally diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992 to 1994. Relationships between cancer outcomes and psychological control and mood at 4 and 8 months po…

Results from this prospective randomized controll…

The authors hypothesized that a control profile in which individuals use a positive yielding (i.e., accepting) mode of control in conjunction with an assertive mode results in better adjus…
