Disgust Propensity as a Predictor of Intrusive Cognitions Following a Distressing Film
Abstract Although extant research examining predictors of development of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) have focused primarily
on fear and anxiety, recent research suggests that a range of different emotional reactions may occur in response to traumatic
events. For example, specific aspects of traumatic exposure frequently include either experiencing or witnessing events that
may elicit disgust, including injury, death, or sexual assault (e.g., Dalgleish and Power in Behav Res Ther Spec Issue Festschrift

Biased Evaluation of Abstracts Depending on Topic and Conclusion: Further Evidence of a Confirmation Bias Within Scientific Psychology
Abstract The present paper investigated whether academic psychologists show a tendency to rate the quality and appropriateness of scientific
studies more favorably when results and conclusions are consistent with their own prior beliefs (i.e., confirmation bias).
In an online experiment, 711 psychologists completed a questionnaire (e.g., about their belief in astrology) and evaluated
research that was presented in form of a short abstract in which 40 different behaviors (e.g., alcohol consumption, willingness
to share money) have [...]

The Dawn of Awareness: Women’s Claiming of Self In Couple Relationship with Substance Abusers
Abstract This phenomenological study aimed at understanding the experiences of women living with intimate partners with substance abuse
problems. Findings show that the five participants’ family-of-origin experiences centrally influenced their degree of awareness
of their responses to their intimate partners’ addictive behaviors. Experiences leading to dawning of awareness include an
escalating toll on self, critical life events, and the catalytic effect of outsiders’ perspective and support. The discovery
of self and care [...]

Thought-Action Fusion in Childhood: Measurement, Development, and Association with Anxiety, Rituals and Other Compulsive-like Behaviors
Abstract A new inventory assessing thought-action fusion (TAF) in children is presented. We explore the psychometric properties of
this instrument and examine the associations between TAF, ritualistic and compulsive-like behavior (CLB) and anxiety. Three
hundred thirteen children ages 7–14 (M = 10.16, SD = 1.92) representing six grades (grouped into three grade levels (grades 2–3, 4–5, and 6–7) completed the Thought-action
Fusion Inventory for Children (TAFIC) and the Child Revised Manifest Anxiety Scal [...]

Congregations and Older Adult Resources
Abstract This article defines ways in which a community can honor older adults as an invaluable resource to community life. A biographical
study of a particular community is undertaken in order to extricate its theological convictions and ethical values. This study
underscores the pivotal role of older adults in community function. Moreover, this article challenges scholars, caregivers,
congregations to develop theories and strategies of care efficacious for healing.

Effects of the PREMIER Interventions on Health-Related Quality of Life
Abstract
Background Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is an important aspect of well-being that may improve with health behavior interventions.
However, health behavior change is difficult with pressure to maintain status quo.
Purpose This report examines the effects of two lifestyle interventions and an advice-only condition on HRQOL. Effects of meeting
behavioral goals and weight loss also were examined.
Methods Participants were 295 men and 467 women (34% African American) with pre-h [...]

Television Viewing Time and Risk of Chronic Kidney Disease in Adults: The AusDiab Study
Abstract
Background Television viewing time independent of physical activity is associated with a number of chronic diseases and related risk
factors; however, its relationship with chronic kidney disease is unknown.
Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the cross-sectional and prospective relationships of television viewing time with
biomarkers of chronic kidney disease.
Methods Participants of the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study attended the baseline (n = 10, [...]

Disaggregating the Relationship Between Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptom Clusters and Chronic Orofacial Pain: Implications for the Prediction of Health Outcomes with PTSD Symptom Clusters
Abstract
Background Research has established a significant relationship between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and pain; however,
very little research has examined the differential role of PTSD symptom clusters on pain outcomes.
Purpose (a) To confirm the most appropriate PTSD symptom factor structure for an orofacial pain population and (b) to test a model
of prediction of pain outcomes with PTSD symptom clusters.
Methods The study was a cross-sectional, retrospective case se [...]
