Caregiver Behaviors Associated With Emotion Regulation in High-Risk Preschoolers
Children who witness violence are at risk for developing a range of developmental problems, including deficits in understanding and regulating. The ability to adaptively manage emotions is associated with childrenâs mental health and their social and academic competence; however, little is known about how parents of at-risk youth can foster the healthy development of emotion regulation. The current study aimed to identify specific parenting practices associated with adaptive emotion regulation in at-risk preschoolers. Multimethod, multi-informant data were collected from 124 caregiver-child dyads from Head Start programs. Results indicated that interparental aggression was negatively associated with caregiversâ and childrenâs emotion regulation, but there were specific caregiver behaviors that moderated the association between interparental aggression and childrenâs emotion regulation. Specifically, care- giversâ sensitivity to childrenâs emotions during play, listening effectively to childrenâs expression of sadness, and their own capacity for emotion regulation buffered the association between exposure to interparental aggression and childrenâs emotion regulation. These findings provide practical insight into how parents can promote resilience in children exposed to violence by fostering healthy emotional regulation
Predicting Aggression in Late Adolescent Romantic Relationships: A Short-Term Longitudinal Study
This study sought to prospectively predict aggression in the romantic relationships of 1180 college students from the United States (807 females; 373 males) over the course of two months with a set of intrapersonal risk and protective factors, including personality characteristics that rarely have been examined in this population. After accounting for prior dating aggression, perpetration of verbal aggression was predicted uniquely by aggressive attitudes, emotion regulation, and for females, narcissism. Perpetration of physical aggression was predicted by aggressive attitudes, but only at low levels of emotion regulation, and the interaction of callous-unemotional traits, emotion regulation, and gender: males with low levels of callous-unemotional traits perpetrated less physical aggression when they reported greater emotion regulation. These findings are among the first to show that personality traits and emotion regulation prospectively predict partner aggression in late adolescence and suggest mechanisms for continuity in interpersonal aggression from early adolescence to adulthood
The Impact of Violence on the Emerging Development of Emotion Regulation: The Role of the Caregiver
Caregivers teach children how to navigate an emotional world (Thompson, 1994), and childrenâs ability to manage emotional reactions underlies their mental health as well as their social and academic performance (Zeman, Cassano, Perry-Parish, & Stegall, 2006). However, children who experience adverse life events are at risk for impaired development of emotion regulation (Maughan & Cicchetti, 2002). Little is known about how parents of at-risk youth can continue to foster healthy development of emotion regulation for their children. Therefore, the current study aims to identify specific parenting practices that promote adaptive emotion regulation in at-risk preschoolers. Multi-method, multi-informant data were collected from 124 caregiver-child dyads from Next Door Head Start programs in Milwaukee, WI. Results largely indicated that caregiver behavior was associated with resilience for preschool children. Specifically, results indicated a positive relationship between interparental aggression and emotion regulation abilities for children when caregivers demonstrated the following behaviors: 1) self-reported adaptive emotion regulation, 2) global acceptance when children talked about sadness, 3) sensitive responsiveness to their child during a play interaction, 4) structuring and scaffolding during play, and 5) invalidation of sadness. Similarly, exposure to interparental aggression was negatively related to a childâs ability to manage emotions when caregivers demonstrated a lack of: 1) effective listening when children talked about sadness, and 2) positivity and emotion regulation during a play interaction. These findings provide practical insight into how parents can purposefully resource their childâs emotional development in order to promote resilience
Using I Cubed Theory to Predict the Perpetration of Violence in Adolescent Romantic Relationships
TakeCARE, a Video Bystander Program to Help Prevent Sexual Violence on College Campuses: Results of Two Randomized, Controlled Trials
Objective: The present research reports on two randomized controlled trials evaluating TakeCARE, a video bystander program designed to help prevent sexual violence on college campuses. Method: In Study 1, students were recruited from psychology courses at two universities. In Study 2, first-year students were recruited from a required course at one university. In both studies, students were randomly assigned to view one of two videos: TakeCARE or a control video on study skills. Just before viewing the videos, students completed measures of bystander behavior toward friends and ratings of self-efficacy for performing such behaviors. The efficacy measure was administered again after the video, and both the bystander behavior measure and the efficacy measure were administered at either one (Study 1) or two (Study 2) months later. Results: In both studies, students who viewed TakeCARE, compared to students who viewed the control video, reported engaging in more bystander behavior toward friends and greater feelings of efficacy for performing such behavior. In Study 1, feelings of efficacy mediated effects of TakeCARE on bystander behavior; this result did not emerge in Study 2. Conclusions: This research demonstrates that TakeCARE, a video bystander program, can positively influence bystander behavior toward friends. Given its potential to be easily distributed to an entire campus community, TakeCARE might be an effective addition to campus efforts to prevent sexual violence
Bench-to-bedside review: Diaphragm muscle function in disuse and acute high-dose corticosteroid treatment
Critically ill patients may require mechanical ventilatory support and short-term high-dose corticosteroid to treat some specific underlying disease processes. Diaphragm muscle inactivity induced by controlled mechanical ventilation produces dramatic alterations in diaphragm muscle structure and significant losses in function. Although the exact mechanisms responsible for losses in diaphragm muscle function are still unknown, recent studies have highlighted the importance of proteolysis and oxidative stress. In experimental animals, short-term strategies that maintain partial diaphragm muscle neuromechanical activation mitigate diaphragmatic force loss. In animal models, studies on the influence of combined controlled mechanical ventilation and short-term high-dose methylprednisolone have given inconsistent results in regard to the effects on diaphragm muscle function. In the critically ill patient, further research is needed to establish the prevalence and mechanisms of ventilator-induced diaphragm muscle dysfunction, and the possible interaction between mechanical ventilation and the administration of high-dose corticosteroid. Until then, in caring for these patients, it is imperative to allow partial activation of the diaphragm, and to administer the lowest dose of corticosteroid for the shortest duration possible

Entre Ă©preuve initiatique et procĂ©dure judiciaire, lâordalie dans les copies enluminĂ©es du ShÄh NÄma de FirdawsÄ«
La grande Ă©popĂ©e des rois de Perse mise en vers par FirdawsÄ« de áčŹĆ«s au XIe siĂšcle met en scĂšne la geste des rois et les hĂ©ros depuis les temps mythiques jusquâaux Ă©poques historiques celle des Sassanides. Cette Ă©popĂ©e, vecteur des imaginaires iraniens est aussi le miroir des valeurs aristocratiques pour les dynasties qui firent enluminer lâĂ©popĂ©e, mongoles et turco-mongoles. Les grandes valeurs y sont exaltĂ©es, le courage, lâhĂ©roĂŻsme, la quĂȘte de la justice et de la vĂ©ritĂ© qui font triompher les hĂ©ros lorsquâils sont injustement accusĂ©s. Lâordalie, lâĂ©preuve unilatĂ©rale apparaĂźt dans ce contexte comme une procĂ©dure judicaire qui contribue en outre Ă la sanctification ou la glorification des sujets qui la subissent le plus souvent Ă lâaube de la pĂ©riode de formation ou en entrant dans le stade probatoire de la quĂȘte initiatique.The ShÄh NÄma, or the great epic of the Persian kings, written in verse by Firdawsi of Tus in the eleventh century, depicts the deeds of kings and heroes from mythical times down to historical times, that of the Sassanids. The epic, which exalts Iranian aristocratic values such as courage, heroism, and the quest for justice and truth, was illuminated by the Mongolian and Turco-Mongolian dynasties. Yet, heroes sometimes have to face the ordeal, a legal procedure which also contributes to their glorification, especially during their first probationary stage and during their initiation quest leading them to the throne
Ăclipse ou Apocalypse. Remarques autour du nĆud du dragon dans les miniatures des Commentaires de lâApocalypse de Beatus de LiĂ©bana
Les dragons des plus anciennes miniatures mozarabes des Commentaires de lâApocalypse du moine Beatus de LiĂ©bana sâornent dâun Ă©trange dragon au nĆud en forme de cĆur, une forme que lâon retrouve dĂ©jĂ dans les sceaux-cylindres du Proche-Orient archaĂŻque. Ce nĆud est devenu le symbole des Ă©clipses en astrologie, et plus gĂ©nĂ©ralement celui de la huitiĂšme planĂšte, dite le Dragon (al-Jawzahar), Ă lâĂ©poque islamique, un hĂ©ritage indien et iranien que les miniaturistes chrĂ©tiens ont utilisĂ©, peut-ĂȘtre fortuitement, pour leurs dragons apocalyptiques.The dragons of the oldest Mozarabic miniatures of the Commentaries of the Apocalypse by the monk Beatus of LiĂ©bana are decorated with a strange dragon knot shaped as a heart, a form that already exists in cylinder seals from the archaic Middle East. This knot has become the symbol of eclipses in astrology and more generally that of the eighth planet, known in the Islamic era as the Dragon (al-Jawzahar), an Indian and Iranian legacy that Christian miniaturists have usedâperhaps fortuitouslyâfor their apocalyptic dragons
