TL;DR: The proposition that disengagement of moral self-sanctions enables prison personnel to carry out the death penalty was tested and the executioners exhibited the highest level of moral, social, and economic justifications, disavowal of personal responsibility, and dehumanization.
Abstract: The present study tested the proposition that disengagement of moral self-sanctions enables prison personnel to carry out the death penalty Three subgroups of personnel in penitentiaries located in three Southern states were assessed in terms of eight mechanisms of moral disengagement The personnel included the execution teams that carry out the executions; the support teams that provide solace and emotional support to the families of the victims and the condemned inmate; and prison guards who have no involvement in the execution process The executioners exhibited the highest level of moral, social, and economic justifications, disavowal of personal responsibility, and dehumanization The support teams that provide the more humane services disavowed moral disengagement, as did the noninvolved guards but to a lesser degree than the support teams

TL;DR: In this article, the authors tested a structural model in which adolescents' perceived self-efficacy to manage parental relationships affected their satisfaction with family life both directly, and indirectly, through its impact on family practices.
Abstract: In this prospective study, we tested a structural model in which adolescents' perceived self-efficacy to manage parental relationships affected their satisfaction with family life both directly, and indirectly, through its impact on family practices. Findings based on 380 Italian adolescents showed that perceived filial self-efficacy was linked directly and indirectly to satisfaction with family life, and that these relations held both concurrently and longitudinally. In particular, the greater adolescents perceived their self-efficacy, the more they reported open communication with their parents, the more accepting they were of their parents' monitoring of their own activities outside the home and the less inclined they were to get into escalative discord over disagreements. Regardless of whether perceived filial self-efficacy was placed in the conceptual structure as a contributor to the quality of family interactions or as a partial product of family functioning, it consistently predicted satisfaction with family life.

TL;DR: The recent years have witnessed a major change in the conception of health from a disease model to a health model, which emphasizes health promotion rather than mainly disease management.
Abstract: The recent years have witnessed a major change in the conception of health from a disease model to a health model. It emphasizes health promotion rather than mainly disease management. By managing their health habits, people can live longer, healthier, and retard the process of aging (Bandura, 2004; Fuchs, 1974). Self-management is good medicine. If the huge benefits of these few habits were put into a pill it would be declared a scientific milestone in the field of medicine. But health habits are neither commercially marketable nor offer an effortless quick fix, so health gatekeepers are disinclined to write behavioral prescriptions.
