TL;DR: Both hypnosis and misleading questions significantly increased memory errors, and misleading Questions produced significantly more errors than did hypnosis.
Abstract: Immediate and persisting effects of misleading questions and hypnosis on memory reports were assessed. After listening to a story, 52 highly suggestible students and 59 low and medium suggestible students were asked misleading or neutral questions in or out of hypnosis. All participants were then asked neutral questions without hypnosis. Both hypnosis and misleading questions significantly increased memory errors, and misleading questions produced significantly more errors than did hypnosis. The 2 effects were additive, so that misleading questions in hypnosis produced the greatest number of errors. There were no significant interactions with level of hypnotic suggestibility. Implications of these findings for the per se exclusion of posthypnotic testimony are discussed. Hypnosis has received considerable attention in recent years as a method of enhancing eyewitness memory reports. Although some studies have suggested that hypnosis may have a small effect on improving memory accuracy, the effect is unreliable and has been linked to factors that are not specific to hypnosis (Erdelyi, 1994). Most of the studies in this area indicate that hypnotic procedures do not increase the accuracy of memory. Instead, it results in increased error rates and enhanced confidence in the accuracy of both true and false retrieved details (for reviews, see Erdelyi, 1994; Kebbell & Wagstaff, 1998; Orne, Whitehouse, Dinges, & Orne, 1996). The negative effects of hypnosis on posthypnotic memory re

TL;DR: Coping strategies suggested by 242 euthanasia technicians were summarized into 26 distinct coping recommendations in 8 categories: competence or skills strategies, euthanasia behavioral strategies, cognitive or self-talk strategies, emotional regulation strategies, separation strategies, get-help strategies, seek long-term solution strategies, and withdrawal strategies.
Abstract: Objective—To identify and evaluate coping strategies advocated by experienced animal shelter workers who directly engaged in euthanizing animals. Design—Cross-sectional study. Sample Population—Animal shelters across the United States in which euthanasia was conducted (5 to 100 employees/shelter). Procedures—With the assistance of experts associated with the Humane Society of the United States, the authors identified 88 animal shelters throughout the United States in which animal euthanasia was actively conducted and for which contact information regarding the shelter director was available. Staff at 62 animal shelters agreed to participate in the survey. Survey packets were mailed to the 62 shelter directors, who then distributed them to employees. The survey included questions regarding respondent age, level of education, and role and asked those directly involved in the euthanasia of animals to provide advice on strategies for new euthanasia technicians to deal with the related stress. Employees comple...

TL;DR: Infants who had acquired trunk control in the lumbar region were more accurate in their reaching movements and were more stable during a reach than infants who had only acquired trunk Control in the thoracic region.
Abstract: This study explored the influence of an external support at the thoracic and pelvic level of the trunk on the success of reaching, postural stability and reaching kinematics while infants reached for a toy. Seventeen infants (4–6 months) were clustered into two groups according to their trunk control assessed with the Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control. Major differences were seen between groups with pelvic support, whereas with thoracic support, all infants showed similar quality reaching behaviors. With the external pelvic support, infants who had acquired trunk control in the lumbar region were more accurate in their reaching movements (less movement time, improved straightness of reach, less movement units and increased path length per movement unit) and were more stable (decreased trunk and head displacement) during a reach than infants who had only acquired trunk control in the thoracic region. These results support the hypothesis that trunk control influences the quality of reaching behavior.

TL;DR: An empirical test of J. Powell's (2006) model of work–family enrichment by examining dispositional and situational factors associated with work-to-family enrichment and whether these variables interact in predicting WFE revealed that in highly supportive work environments, individuals reported high WFE regardless of CSE.
Abstract: The purpose of this article was to offer an empirical test of J. H. Greenhaus and G. N. Powell's (2006) model of work–family enrichment by examining dispositional (i.e., core self-evaluations; CSEs) and situational (i.e., perceived organizational support; POS) factors associated with work-to-family enrichment (WFE) and whether these variables interact in predicting WFE. In a survey of 220 employed adults, our hierarchical regression analysis revealed that in highly supportive work environments, individuals reported high WFE regardless of CSE. However, when POS was low, individuals high in CSEs reported higher WFE than those low in CSEs, in support of conservation of resources theory (S. E. Hobfoll, 2002). Implications for research and practice are discussed.
