A mixed-method study identified profiles of fathers who mentioned key dimensions of their parenting and linked profile membership to adolescents' adjustment using data from 337 European American, Mexican American and Mexican immigrant fathers and their early adolescent children. Father narratives about what fathers do well as parents were thematically coded for the presence of five fathering di...

The Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC) Scale was a significant contribution to the development of the locus of control construct in establishing the importance of multiple sources of control. This article suggests that further development of the construct should include two distinct aspects of control beliefs: strategy and capacity beliefs. A confirmatory factor analysis that teste...

We give improved lower bounds on the size of Kakeya and Nikodym sets over Fq. We also propose a natural conjecture on the minimum number of points in the union of a not-too-flat set of lines in Fq, and show that this conjecture implies an optimal bound on the size of a Nikodym set. Finally, we study the notion of a weak Nikodym set and give improved, and in some special cases optimal, bounds fo...

Traditional models of visual search assume interitem similarity effects arise from within each feature dimension independently of other dimensions. In the present study, we examine whether distractor– distractor effects also depend on feature conjunctions (i.e., whether feature conjunctions form a separate “feature” dimension that influences interitem similarity). Spatial frequency and orientat...

The systematic evaluation of a curriculum designed to improve the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and clinical judgment of pediatric residents with regard to young handicapped children and their families is described. Residents were assigned to experimental and control groups, and changes were analyzed across several dimensions. The results revealed a number of significant changes due to the impl...

Using a global superalgebra with 32 fermionic and 528 bosonic charges, many features of p-brane dualities and hidden dimensions are discussed.

Core Affect is a state accessible to consciousness as a single simple feeling (feeling good or bad, energized or enervated) that can vary from moment to moment and that is the heart of, but not the whole of, mood and emotion. In four correlational studies (Ns = 535, 190, 234, 395), a 12-Point Affect Circumplex (12-PAC) model of Core Affect was developed that is finer grained than previously ava...

A short and simple derivation of the formula of Frobenius, which gives the dimensions of the irreducible representations of S(n), the symmetric group on any number, n, of symbols, is given. These dimensions are the characters of the identity element of the group, i.e., of the element all of whose cycles are unary. It is shown how a slight modification of Frobenius' formula yields, when n = 2p i...

A model of orthographic processing is described that postulates read-out from different information dimensions, determined by variable response criteria set on these dimensions. Performance in a perceptual identification task is simulated as the percentage of trials on which a noisy criterion set on the dimension of single word detector activity is reached. Two additional criteria set on the di...
