AbstractPhysical and psychosocial risks of running and addiction were compared in a sample of female (n= 112) and male (n= 108) marathon runners. While female runners reported more pain in the knee, shin, hip, and heel, and more stress fractures, than the men, no injuries were significantly higher in women. Over 40% of both male and female subjects reported knee injury, making it the most common running injury reported. There were no significant differences in level of self esteem, anxiety, or running addiction between the two groups. There was, however, a significant relationship between level of negative addiction scores and two injuries: torn ligamentsX2(2, 202) = 8.45, p<.02, and hematuriaX2(2, 202) = 11.31, p<.005.

摘要:

AbstractThe appropriateness of lie scales commonly used in psychometric tools for health research with children was investigated. A convenience sample of 74 children was used to test the hypothesis that children at a less mature stage of cognitive development would score higher on a lie scale than would children at a more mature stage. Each child was tested using the Cartoon Conservation Scale to assess the Piagetian cognitive level and the nine‐item lie scale for the “How I Think and Feel Test”. The findings supported the hypothesis; a two‐way analysis of variance showed a significant main effect of cognitive level (F= 13.274;p<0.001). A stepwise multiple regression indicated that age and cognitive level accounted for 53% of the variance in lie scale

摘要:

AbstractData are presented on the use of social resources to reduce the negative effects of perceived job stress on the health of 26 psychiatric technicians who cared for severely and profoundly retarded residents of a state institution. Data were collected by participant observation, semistructured interviews, and the self‐administered Cornell Medical Index. Sources of job stress were found to stem not from problems associated with the care of the retarded but rather from staff members' inability to control other critical aspects of their work. Staff with supportive work‐based social networks reported significantly better health (as measured by the Cornell Medical Index) than those without such netwo

摘要:

AbstractStrategies for promoting autonomy and a self‐care agency in children were investigated in this study. Ninety‐two fifth grade students were randomly assigned to one of four learning groups: assertion training; first aid instruction; assertion/first aid; and control. Results showed mixed support for autonomy being higher where either or both assertion training and first aid instruction had occurred, and support for self‐care agency being higher where first aid instruction had occ

摘要:

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to examine whether personal and social factors (a) differentiate between widowed, divorced or separated, and never married older women, and (b) predict the life outlook of older single women. A secondary analysis of data from a subsample of the older single women (n= 816) in the 1975 National Survey of the Aged was undertaken. Significant differences between groups were found: never married women were better educated, healthier, less lonely, and had a more positive life outlook than widows. The model predicted 29% of the variance in life outlook. Health and loneliness had the strongest effects on life outlook when predictors were compared.
