The effects of dyadic satisfaction and conflict have not been well defined in the hemodialysis (HD) population. The aim of this study was to determine whether the perception of decreased dyadic satisfaction was associated with mortality in patients treated with HD, and if so, whether there were different relationships between risk factors, and differential outcomes in men and women. A total of ...

Attribution theory argues that people assess the locus of causality of achievementrelevant events as either internal or external. Given the frequency of interpersonal interactions in organizations, we posit that a third category—relational attributions— may be used. Drawing on relational perspectives, we lay the conceptual foundation and develop a dyadic theory of relational attributions, propo...

Trade, Peace and Democracy: An Analysis of Dyadic Dispute At least since 1750 when Baron de Montesquieu declared "peace is the natural effect of trade," a number of economists and political scientists espoused the notion that trade among nations leads to peace. Employing resources wisely to produce one commodity rather than employing them inefficiently to produce another is the foundation for c...

The question of whether bonobos show feeding priority and female dominance has been proposed and examined, both in the wild and in captive studies, with differing results. The relationship between female dominance and female feeding priority has been best studied in prosimian primates. These studies use established criteria of females consistently evoking submissive behavior from males in dyadi...

BACKGROUND   Recent models of the early emergence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) propose that infant intrinsic risk susceptibilities in behaviour may be amplified by interaction within the early social environment into an increasingly atypical developmental trajectory. This study examines whether 6- and 12-month parent-infant interactions in at-risk siblings differ from those with low-risk a...

The dyadic diaphony is a quantitative measure for the irregularity of distribution of a sequence in the unit cube. In this paper we give formulae for the dyadic diaphony of digital (0, s)-sequences over Z2, s = 1, 2. These formulae show that for fixed s ∈ {1, 2}, the dyadic diaphony has the same values for any digital (0, s)-sequence. For s = 1, it follows that the dyadic diaphony and the diaph...
