The paper investigates different approaches of transcendence in the sense of spiritual experience as predictors for general psychological resilience. This issue is based on the theoretical assumption that resilience does play a role for physical health. Furthermore, there is a lack of empirical evidence about the extent to which spirituality does play a role for resilience. As potential predict...

In this paper, we present an efficient k-out-of-n secret sharing scheme, which can identify up to t rushing cheaters, with probability at least 1 − , where 0 < < 1/2, provided t < k/2. This is the optimal number of cheaters that can be tolerated in the setting of public cheater identification, on which we focus in this work. In our scheme, the set of all possible shares Vi satisfies the conditi...

objective: to compare resilience, positive/negative effect, and psychological vulnerability between fertile and infertile men. methods: the research sample consisted of 40 fertile and 40 infertile men who were selected among men who presented to an infertility clinic. to collect data, connor–davidson resilience scale, positive/negative affect schedule, and brief symptoms inventory were used. re...

"Resilience" in psychology is the positive capacity of people to cope with stress and adversity. This coping may result in the individual “bouncing back” to a previous state of normal functioning, or using the experience of exposure to adversity to produce a “steeling effect” and function better than expected (much like an inoculation gives one the capacity to cope well with future exposure to ...

discussion similar resilience scores in deaf and hearing participants may be due to appropriate interaction of deaf signers with family members and society. male deaf subjects were more resilient than female ones; studies should be done to examine the effects of cultural characteristics that may provide females with less communication opportunities than males. materials and methods this compara...

Recently, sensor data stream delivery system that collects sensor data periodically and delivers successively has been attracting great attention. As for this sensor data stream delivery, receivers are possible to require the same sensor data stream with different delivery cycles. Our research team proposed methods to distribute communication loads by relay nodes in the case of delivering the s...

the aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of explaining psychological resilience based on self-efficacy in athlete and non-athlete university students. a sample of 403 (198 females and 205 males) athlete and non-athlete university students, who were selected via purposive sampling procedure, completed resilience and self-efficacy scales. regression analysis, one-way anova, and t ...

This paper investigates whether people's psychological resilience to one of the most important economic shocks - job loss - can be predicted using early childhood characteristics. Using a longitudinal data that tracked almost 3000 children into adulthood, we showed that the negative effect of unemployment on mental well-being and life satisfaction is significantly larger for workers who, as ado...

Ecologists and environmental scientists approach uncertainty as an opportunity to do research, while lawyers (including judges) often view uncertainty as a barrier to enforceability and action. This tension at the intersection of law and science is particularly troublesome ...
