Growing evidence from field studies has linked daily stressors to dysregulated patterns of diurnal cortisol. Less is known about whether naturally-occurring positive events in everyday life are associated with diurnal cortisol. The objectives of this study were to evaluate daily positive events as predictors of between-person differences and within-person (day-to-day) variations in diurnal cort...

BACKGROUND Despite their good intentions, people often do not eat healthily. This is known as the intention-behavior gap. Although the intention-behavior relationship is theorized as a within-person process, most evidence is based on between-person differences. PURPOSE The purpose of the present study is to investigate the within-person intention-behavior association for unhealthy snack consu...

Relationships among multiple variables over time are of interest in many developmental areas and are frequently examined using time-varying predictors in multilevel models. Yet an incomplete specification of time-varying predictors will usually result in biased model effects. Specifically, the impact of constant, between-person sources of variation must be differentiated from the impact of time...

Abstract The usual interpretation of the person and task variables in between‐persons measurement models such as item response theory (IRT) is attributes persons tasks, respectively. They can be viewed instead ensemble descriptors patterns interactions among situations that arise from sociocognitive complex adaptive system (CASs). This view offers insights for interpreting using connecting with...

OBJECTIVE [corrected] Person-Environment fit (P-E fit) paradigm, seems to be especially useful in explaining phenomena related to work attitudes and occupational health. The study explores the relationship between a specific facet of P-E fit as Person-Organization fit (P-O fit) and health. MATERIALS AND METHODS Research was conducted on the random sample of 600 employees. Person-Organization ...

Across domains of functioning, research has shown substantial within-person variability in a number of different types of variables from one measurement occasion to another. Using data obtained from a large sample (n = 784, 18-97 years) at three separate occasions, we examined properties and correlates of short-term variability in a construct that by definition is prone to fluctuations, namely ...

six species of the genus elasmus westwood (hymenoptera: chalcidoidea: eulophidae) were reported from southeastern iran. five species viz., elasmus indicus rohwer, 1921, elasmus johnstoni ferrière, 1929, elasmus nephantidis rohwer, 1921, elasmus phthorimaeae ferrière 1947, elasmus viridiceps thomson, 1878, are recorded for the first time from iran. elasmus nudus (nees, 1834) is already recorded ...
