Carl Rogers' article (see record 2007-14639-002) on the necessary and sufficient conditions for personality change has had a significant impact on the field of psychotherapy and psychotherapy research. He emphasized the client as arbiter of his or her own subjective experience and tested his hypothesized therapist-offered conditions of change using recorded sessions. This aided in demystifying ...

The primary aim of this study was to conduct a bivariate genetic analysis investigating the extent to which genetic and environmental factors contribute to stability and change in personality factors in the period from adolescence to young adulthood on a sample of Croatian twins. The sample used in this research was formed in 1992 based on a register of citizens of Zagreb and data was collected...

Personality (Big Five and self-esteem) effects on social relationship quality (perceived support and conflict) and vice versa were longitudinally studied during emerging adulthood. Rank-order stability correlations of personality and social relationship quality were investigated. Subsequently, the mechanisms that may underlie personality development across emerging adulthood were examined. Resu...

Let $$A_1, A_2\in {{\mathbb {C}}}(z)$$ be rational functions of degree at least two that are neither Lattès maps nor conjugate to $$z^{\pm n}$$ or $$\pm T_n.$$ We describe invariant, periodic, and preperiodic algebraic curves for endomorphisms $$({{\mathbb {P}}}^1({{\mathbb {C}}}))^2$$ the form $$(z_1,z_2)\rightarrow (A_1(z_1),A_2(z_2)).$$ In particular, we show if $$A\in is not a “generalized ...

Let $X\subset \PP^r$ be an integral projective variety. We study the dimensions of joins several copies osculating varieties $J(X,m)$ $X$. Our methods are general, but we give a full description in all cases only if $X$ is linearly normal embedding $\PP^1\times \PP^1$. For these embeddings \PP^1$ examples and then one copy arbitrary number
