Compliance-related Causality Orientations Scale: Development and Psychometric Properties in Russian Sample

AbstractThis paper analyzes opportunities of application of the self-determination theory to the compliant behavior and describes the process of development and validation scale for measuring compliance-related causality orientations in the normative sample. Experts’ appraisals demonstrated that in clinical settings controlled causality orientation could be divided into two subscales: controlled by doctors and controlled by others subscales. Empirical data (N=246 students) supports internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha .76-.79), test-retest reliability and factor validity of the scale. All the subscales correlate with general controlled orientation subscale as well as relevant subscales of General Causality Orientation Scale. Controlled by doctors and impersonal causality orientations were negatively related to health-related quality of life. Compliance-Related Causality Orientations Scale correlated with retrospective appraisals of last episode of somatic illness (subjective interference with other domains, fear of future complications, fear of more severe illness, subjective ability to follow chosen treatment. Although testing prospective validity of the scale is a challenge for future research, the scale could be useful to study motivational factors of compliant behavior both in the normative and clinical samples

Inclusive education: the experience of volunteering for future teachers.

In this article the notion of inclusion is considered as a social ideology, public policy, real processes, which are combined for creating the opportunity for all children to participate in all social and educational programs. Inclusive education is defined as a system of educational services based on the principle of ensuring the fundamental right of children with disabilities to be educated in the community in general educational institutions. Student volunteer initiatives are considered as an important resource for the development of inclusive society.В статье инклюзия рассмотрена как общественная идеология, государственная политика, реальные процессы, которые в совокупности создают в обществе возможность всем детям участвовать во всех социальных и образовательных программах. Инклюзивное образование определяется как система образовательных услуг, основанных на принципе обеспечения основного права детей с инвалидностью на обучение по месту жительства в условиях общеобразовательного учреждения. Студенческие волонтерские инициативы рассмотрены как важный ресурс развития инклюзивного общества

Interaction between Phrasal Structure and Vowel Tenseness in German: An Acoustic and Articulatory Study

Phrase-final lengthening affects the segments preceding a prosodic boundary. This prosodic variation is generally assumed to be independent of the phonemic identity. We refer to this as the ‘uniform lengthening hypothesis’ (ULH). However, in German, lax vowels do not undergo lengthening for word stress or shortening for increased speech rate, indicating that temporal properties might interact with phonemic identity. We test the ULH by comparing the effect of the boundary on acoustic and kinematic measures for tense and lax vowels and several coda consonants. We further examine if the boundary effect decreases with distance from the boundary. Ten native speakers of German were recorded by means of electromagnetic articulography (EMA) while reading sentences that contained six minimal pairs varying in vowel tenseness and boundary type. In line with the ULH, the results show that the acoustic durations of lax vowels are lengthened phrase-finally, similarly to tense vowels. We find that acoustic lengthening is stronger the closer the segments are to the boundary. Articulatory parameters of the closing movements toward the post-vocalic consonants are affected by both phrasal position and identity of the preceding vowel. The results are discussed with regard to the interaction between prosodic structure and vowel tenseness.Peer Reviewe
