The Promise and Peril of Using Attention Economy Data for Public Research
Behavioral Activation, Depression, and Promotion of Health Behaviors
Diverse approaches to the treatment of depressive disorders are necessary to improve evidence-based practice and maximize treatment outcomes. As a result, a range of behaviors and other factors associated with the onset and course of depressive disorders should be examined more comprehensively. Behavioral activation (BA) is a treatment approach to these disorders that can be tailored to address certain health behaviors within the context of depre…
Examining the Effects of Key Workplace Variables on Job Burnout of Southern Prison Staff
Burnout is a phenomenon commonly found in the workplace. When burnout is job-related, it is considered job burnout. Historically, job burnout has been most common among those who work in human services fields and who deal with stressful situations on a regular basis. Job burnout consists of three components: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and feelings of work ineffectiveness. While job burnout may be common, not all workers in stressful…
Effects of Work–Family Conflict on Southern Correctional Staff Burnout
Research examining correctional staff indicates that there are far-reaching negative consequences related to job burnout, including, but not limited to, diminished physical and mental health, increased risk of substance use, and decreased job performance. One area that may contribute to correctional staff job burnout is work–family conflict, which occurs when work and home domains spill into one another, causing conflict and problems. Using a sam…
The Baldovan Institution Abuse Inquiry
In this paper, I resurrect a long-forgotten inquiry into abuse and maladministration at an institution for people with learning disabilities, the Baldovan Institution near Dundee, that has lain buried in the archives for the past 60 years. I contrast the response to it with the very different response to the similar revelations of the Ely Hospital Inquiry more than a decade later. Whereas Ely opened up the institutional sector to greater public s…
The effects of distributive and procedural justice on job satisfaction and organizational commitment ofcorrectional staff
Correctional staff are expensive, and they perform the most critical and central duty within the facility: the care and custody of inmates. Improving the job satisfaction and organizational commitment of staff is important, as they have been linked to many salient positive outcomes. We explored whether the job satisfaction and organizational commitment of correctional staff were affected by distributive and procedural justice, the two major dimen…
The development and piloting of the Self‐evaluation of Adult Support and Protection Activity in Scotland
Purpose This paper aims to describe the development and evaluation of a resource for use by practitioners to self‐evaluate their policy and practice in relation to the Adult Support and Protection (Scotland) Act 2007. Design/methodology/approach The self‐evaluation resource was developed in the context of multi‐agency adult protection policy and legislation to reflect key quality indicators relevant to stakeholders, the community, practitioners a…
The Interplay of Three Established-Outsider Figurations in a Deprived Inner-city Neighbourhood
This article discusses Norbert Elias' theory of established-outsider figurations and applies it to the case of one deprived inner-city neighbourhood in Germany, Dortmund Nordstadt. According to this theory, the social cohesion of the established together with the stigmatisation of outsiders leads to status and power differentials that exclude the outsiders. In Nordstadt, three levels of established-outsider figurations overlap and influence each …
The parent trap
One of the most telling indicators of change in the status of people with intellectual disabilities is in the regulation of their sexuality, reproduction and parenting. There is far greater recognition of certain basic rights that people with intellectual disabilities share with everyone else. This article traces the broad shifts in thinking about sexuality and parenting and intellectual disability over the past 100 years or so. The changes in th…

The Sequence of the Human Genome
A 2.91-billion base pair (bp) consensus sequence of the euchromatic portion of the human genome was generated by the whole-genome shotgun sequencing method. The 14.8-billion bp DNA sequence was generated over 9 months from 27,271,853 high-quality sequence reads (5.11-fold coverage of the genome) from both ends of plasmid clones made from the DNA of five individuals. Two assembly strategies—a whole-genome assembly and a regional chromosome assembl…
Die Etablierten-Außenseiter-Beziehung als Grammatik urbanen Zusammenlebens
Das Konzept der Etablierten-Außenseiter-Beziehung (EAB) wurde von Norbert Elias und John Scotson (1994 [1965]) entwickelt. Es gilt damit als klassische Form für eine grammatikalische Struktur im urbanen Zusammenleben von Menschen. Elias/Scotson haben dieses Konzept an einem Fall entwickelt, in dem es zwischen den beiden beteiligten Bevölkerungsgruppen keine anderen offensichtlichen Unterschiede gab, als deren soziales Alter. Deshalb hat das Konze…
Normalisation in Practice
Organising Services for People with Mental Handicap
The organisation of services for California's mentally handicapped population is outlined and critically examined. Its distinctive features are noted: a concern for rights, rather than needs; an underlying free market philosophy; an explicit attempt to combine public and private enterprise; and an elaborate system of checks and balances designed to restrain the welfare bureaucracies and ensure that they remain responsive to the changing nature of…
Growing up on Ward Twenty
Among closed institutions surviving in contemporary Britain, mental handicap hospitals are virtually unique in assuming responsibility both for the primary socialization, and the long- term adult care of a resident population. This paper uses ethnographic data on an adolescent ward to consider the process of growing up in hospital. It examines the extent of cultural patterning in ward life, sources of cultural knowledge open to patients, and the …
Order, Rules and Social Control in Two Training Centres for Mentally Retarded Adults
Although settings for the mentally retarded accommodate persons of markedly differing social and congnitive competence, everyday activities nevertheless proceed with a considerable degree of order and regulatiry. This paper uses the example of training centres for mentally retarded adults to examine the example the basis of social order in a situaltion where common orientation to a culturally-derived normative framework appears to be absent. It s…
Community Care and the Mentally Handicapped
The Ecosystem of the 'Sick' Child
Chancers, pests and poor wee souls
This paper explores the relationship between psychiatric nurses and'problem'patients as a means of commenting on the occupation of psychiatric nursing. Proceeding from a detailed examination of the case of one particularly problematic female patient, and drawing on a body of observational and interview data relating mainly, though not exclusively, to nursing activity on two very different psychiatric wards, we argue that what is critical in deter…
The Artificial Debate Between Rationalist and Incrementalist Models of Decision Making
The notion of decision making is central to studying the way in which policies are both formulated and implemented. This note discusses the relative merits of rationalistic as opposed to incrementalist models of decision making (together with attempts to provide a ‘third’ alternative). It concludes that in certain respects the debate is artificial since the approaches have features in common, the significance of which outweigh any specific points…
Executing 'Decisions' in the Children's Hearings
Based upon observational and other data, this paper reports a study of 'decisions' and 'decision making' designed to describe the constituent activities of these notions in the context of the Scottish Children's Hearings. The starting point of the paper is a line of criticism which has cast doubt on the traditional use of many of the most central concepts of organizational analysis based, as they have been, upon a predominantly rational mode of o…
