Growing Up with Capital Flows

Abstract: We examine the capital flows-domestic investment relationship for 60 developing countries from 1979 to 1999. In the 1990s, even as liberalization attracted new flows, foreign capital stimulated less domestic investment than in the preceding decade. With greater financial integration, governments accumulated more international reserves and domestic residents diversified by investing abroad. Foreign investors were also motivated by diversification objectives rather than by unmet investment needs. Inflows were channeled increasingly through portfolio flows - or through foreign direct investment with the characteristics of portfolio capital - resulting in weak investment stimulus. However, stronger policy environments strengthened the link between inflows and investment.

Seeking help from a mental health professional: The influence of one's social network

Abstract: The decision to seek psychological help may be hindered or facilitated by many factors. Two potential factors that might facilitate help seeking are having a relationship with someone (a) who recommends seeking help or (b) who themselves have sought help. In two studies (N = 780, N = 746), we explored the relationship between these factors and intentions to seek mental health services. In Study 1, being prompted to seek help and knowing someone who had sought help were both related to positive expectations about mental health services. In Study 2, being prompted to seek help and knowing someone who had sought help were related to more positive attitudes toward help seeking. Also, knowing someone who had sought help was related to the intention to seek help. Of those who sought psychological help, approximately 75% had someone recommend that they seek help and about 94% knew someone who had sought help.

The Alcoholic Family

Abstract: In this chapter, we deal with family influences in the pathogenesis of alcoholism. Were we to interpret this mandate literally, we would be taking as our task a presentation of evidence that the family plays a role as an etiological agent in the development of alcoholism. Although some of the data we discuss here could conceivably be interpreted in this fashion, most students of the family would be made uncomfortable by an attempt to characterize the family as an etiological agent in the development of pathology. Hypotheses about the role of family behavior in the onset and course of illness tend to rely on complex interactional models based on notions of circular causality and the mutual influence of interacting variables. Traditional cause-and-effect hypotheses are replaced in such models by multi-factorial explanations. The family is seen as one of a series of variables that interact in a dynamic, systemic fashion to influence the development and course of a condition such as alcoholism.
