Efficacy of religion-accommodative strategic hope-focused theory applied to couples therapy.

Abstract: Religion-accommodative psychotherapy has developed with trends toward equal or improved outcomes compared with psychotherapy that pays no attention to spirituality or religion (Worthington, Hook, Davis, & McDaniel, 2011b; Worthington, Hook, Davis, Gartner, & Jennings, 2013). Research on religion-accommodative psychotherapy in couples contexts is sparse, with a few studies of enrichment and prevention and only 1 study of couples therapy. The current study used a clinical trial design of 92 community couples seeking counseling to determine whether religion-accommodative hope-focused couples psychotherapy would differ from standard hope-focused couples treatment (Worthington, 2005). Results indicate that the 2 types of treatment demonstrated improvement for couples over time but were not different from each other on most comparisons. Implications for accommodating religion for couples therapy in an ethical and diversity-sensitive way are discussed (Hathaway & Ripley, 2009).

A China–New Zealand comparison of forgiveness

Abstract: The present study examined the practice of forgiveness among participants from China (N = 172) and New Zealand (N = 91). We tested a theoretical model describing the relationships between collectivism, individualism, and forgiveness. Participants from China were more collectivistic and less individualistic than were participants from New Zealand. Overall, participants from New Zealand were more forgiving than were participants from China. Collectivism was positively related to decisional forgiveness in Chinese participants. Decisional forgiveness independently predicted conciliatory behaviour among participants from China, but this was not the case for participants from New Zealand. Thus, the hypothesized model received qualified support.

College Students' Perceptions of a Psychotherapist's Treatment of a Religious Issue: Partial Replication and Extension

Abstract: A study of the influence of a counselor's treatment of a client's religious values, observers' religiosity, and their interaction on observers' perceptions of counseling (Morrow, Worthington, & McCullough, 1992) was partially replicated and extended. Religious beliefs were differentiated from religious values as determinants of observers' perceptions of counseling. Student observers (N = 148) viewed one of two videotaped counseling interactions in which a counselor either supported or challenged a client's religious values. Dividing observers into high and low levels of Christian belief did not result in their perceiving religiously supportive or challenging counseling differently. Dividing observers into high and low levels of religious values produced consistent differences in how they perceived religiously supportive and challenging counseling. Findings supported the theory that people with strong religious values perceive counseling differently than people with weaker religious values.

Using Multivariate Statistics

Abstract: Thank you for downloading using multivariate statistics. As you may know, people have look hundreds times for their favorite novels like this using multivariate statistics, but end up in infectious downloads. Rather than reading a good book with a cup of tea in the afternoon, instead they juggled with some harmful bugs inside their laptop. using multivariate statistics is available in our digital library an online access to it is set as public so you can download it instantly.

Exactly how many died, and why, has long been a mystery. This Secret History documentary follows experts as they pick through the evidence and reveal why the plague killed on such a scale. And they ask, what might be coming next?

Acute stressors and cortisol responses: a theoretical integration and synthesis of laboratory research.

Abstract: This meta-analysis reviews 208 laboratory studies of acute psychological stressors and tests a theoretical model delineating conditions capable of eliciting cortisol responses. Psychological stressors increased cortisol levels; however, effects varied widely across tasks. Consistent with the theoretical model, motivated performance tasks elicited cortisol responses if they were uncontrollable or characterized by social-evaluative threat (task performance could be negatively judged by others), when methodological factors and other stressor characteristics were controlled for. Tasks containing both uncontrollable and social-evaluative elements were associated with the largest cortisol and adrenocorticotropin hormone changes and the longest times to recovery. These findings are consistent with the animal literature on the physiological effects of uncontrollable social threat and contradict the belief that cortisol is responsive to all types of stressors.
