ABSTRACT
Objective To examine the relationship of coping style,psychological capital and vocational selection anxiety for female college graduates.Methods A sample of 330 female college graduates filled out measures for the simplified coping styles questionnaire (SCSQ),Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ) and vocational selection anxiety Questionnaire(VSAQ).Results Correlation analysis showed that except the self-efficacy and positive coping style collected with concerns about job prospects was not significant (r=-0.08-0.05,P＞0.05),each dimensions of PCQ and SCSQ significantly correlated with the each dimensions of VSAQ (r=-0.44--0.13 or r=0.21-0.28,P＜0.01).Regression analysis showed that negative coping style,resilience,hope and positive coping style could directly predict vocational selection anxiety.Psychological capital were the mediators between positive coping styles and vocational selection anxiety.Conclusion Coping styles and psychological capital are closely related to the female college graduates' vocational selection anxiety,using appropriate coping styles and improving mental ability can effectively reduce vocational selection anxiety.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship of college students among death attitude,self-respect,and locus of control character.Methods Death attitude questionnaire,Rosenberger self-respect questionnaire and locus of control Inclination questionnaire were administered to 442 college students chosen by random sampling.Results ①Death attitudes order:death neutrality(3.78±0.62),death escape(2.90±0.77),terror of death(2.71±0.73),approach acceptance (2.49 ± 0.69) and escape acceptance (2.44 ± 0.84).② Different self-respect gradation students displayed significant difference on the terror of death,death neutrality,approach acceptance and escape acceptance (P＜0.05) ;and different character students displayed significant difference on the terror of death,death escape and escape acceptance(P＜0.05).③Self-respect had significant positive correlation with death neutrality (P＜0.01),while had negative correlation with terror of death,death escape,approach acceptance and escape acceptance (P＜0.01);and locus of control character had significant positive correlation with death fear and escape acceptance(P＜0.01).④Self-respect,locus of control character,health condition,discussions over death situation,and meaning of life have a degree of forecasting power over death attitude.Conclusion There is a close correlation among death attitude,self-respect,locus of control character.
ABSTRACT
Objective To develop positive personality scale for the university students (PPTSUS).Methods According to the hypothesis lexicology,interviewing,literature study and questionnaire survey were used to develop the structure and items of the PPSUS.Using cluster random sampling method,total 1100 undergraduates were tested with PPTSUS.Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used to evaluate the reliability and validity of the scale.Results Exploratory principal component analysis of the items identified that the scale had 11 factors.The reliability test,Cronbach'α coefficient,split-half and test-retest correlation coefficients were 0.931,0.900 and 0.835 respectively for the total scale.The correlations between the factors and total scores were all bigger than 0.499 (P＜ 0.01).And in the validate factor analysis,x 2/df was 1.91,RMSEA was 0.045,NNFI was 0.742,and CFI was 0.856.Conclusion The PPSUS has good construct validity,excellent levels of internal consistency and test-retest reliability.And it achieves the basic demand of psychometrics.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the efficacy of α1 adrenergic receptor blocker,5α-reductase inhibitor or combination therapy in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH),and to explore the application of multi-level statistical model in assessment of BPH treatments.Methods Pragmatic clinical trials (PCT) design was used.BPH patients received drug therapy including α-adrenergic receptor blocker,5α reductase inhibitor,and combination therapy were followed up for 4 years.Multilevel statistical model was used to compare the scores of international prostate symtom score(IPSS) and BPH qality of life scale(QLS) among the 3 therapeutic regimens.Results The intra class correlation coefficients of I-PSS and BPH-QLS were 0.6136 and 0.6946 respectively,which indicated that both data were hierarchical structured.During the follow-up period,scores of IPSS and BPH-QLS were improved along with the drug therapy in 3 regimens.There was curve relationship between treatment time and IPSS and BPH-QLS scores in 3 regimens (all P＜0.05),and there was no significant differences in the trend of curves between the 3 regimens (P＞0.05).Conclusions For BPH patients with moderate symptoms bothering the quality of life,α-adrenergic receptor blocker,5α-reductase inhibitor,or combination therapy are significantly effective in reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.There are no efficacy differences among the 3 drug therapy during the 4-years follow-up.Compared with traditional analysis,multilevel statistical model is a more suitable and precise method for assessment of BPH treatments.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo examine the characteristic of criminal parenting styles and personality.Methods 379 prisoners took part in by using EMBU and PDQ-4 +.Results ( 1 ) There exist significant difference of parenting styles as parental emotional warmth and understanding,rejection and deny,punishment and strictness among the different criminals type (F =5.70,3.45,3.61,4.66,4.13,2.79,P ＜ 0.01 ).(2) There exist significant difference of total PDQ-4 + scores and the subscales for different type of personality disorder except obsessive-compulsive and schizotypal personality disorder among different criminals type (F =7.67,4.06,14.02,6.94,4.20,4.19,4.01,7.52,7.21,7.21,9.11 ; P ＜ 0.01 or P ＜ 0.05 ). ( 3 ) There were negative correlations between the score in the subscales for different type of personality disorder except obsessive-compulsive personality disorder and the factor of parental emotional warmth and understanding ( r =- 0.12 ～ - 0.32 ; P ＜ 0.01 or P ＜ 0.05 ).And there were positive correlations between the score in the all subscales for different type of personality disorder and the factors of parental rejection and deny,punishment and strictness ( r=0.11 ～ 0.42 ; P＜ 0.01 or P＜ 0.05).(4)Paternal punishment and strictness,maternal emotional warmth and understanding,maternal partiality make a certain prediction about characteristic of criminal personality.ConclusionThere exist different characteristic of criminal parenting styles and personality among different criminal type,and some parenting styles make a certain prediction about characteristic of criminal personality characteristics.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the quality of life(QOL) of the type 2 diabetes mellitus and its influencing factors.Methods The three hundred and seventy-six cases of the type 2 diabetes mellitus were investigated with the short form 36(SF-36) measuring scale in Changsha.Results The results demonstrated that medical care,alcohol intake,physical activity,dwelling coneition,occupation and marriage were the main effective factors.Conclusion It was very important to pay more attention to enhancing psychological and behavioral health education,and improving the QOL in patients of diabetes mellitus.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate whether the ISCYC (Intelligence Scale for Chinese Young Children) is suitable for children aged 7 to 15. Method: The ISCYC used in this study consisted of 9 subtests. Some more difficult new items were added into 8 of the 9 subtests. The subjects were divided into 5 age groups, each had 20 male and 20 female. Results: The difficulty of 50% items ranged from 0.3 to 0.7. The average difficulty was 0.5. In more than 50％ items, thediscriminate index was above 0.2. The split- half reliability of these subtests were from 0.76 to 0.95, most of them higher than 0.80.The means of raw score for subtasts increased with the age of subjects. Some items in Pattern Rotation were less difficult than needed. Conclusion: This study has fulfill the theoretical construction of ISCYC, whjch is applicable for children aged 7 to 15.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the adaptability of the factor structure of ISCYC to children aged 7 to 15. Method: A simultaneous confirmatory maximum likelihood factor analysis was conducted in 200 students. The 2-factor model of ISCYC and 3-factor model provided by Kaufman were fitted to the data and compared. Results: Both of the oblique 2-factor mode and 3-factor model fit the data quite well, but the latter had better fitness than former. Conclusion: The 2-factor model of ISCYC is applicable for children aged 7 to 15.
