A study in problem solving in the engineering sciences

This study investigated the link between creative thought and intuition. These concepts were defined in terms of two psychometric tests used to measure personality and interest. The two tests used were the 19 Field Interest Inventory (19FII) and the Jung Personality Questionnaire (JPQ). Intuition was measured on a continuum in terms of Jung’s conceptualisation of intuition- sensation. Creative thought was conceived as both a cognitive and an unconscious process. The research was quantitative in nature. A comparison was done between the scores obtained on the personality questionnaire (JPQ) and the interest inventory (19FII) in order to determine if there was a link between intuition and creative thought. These results were inconclusive. Thereafter the study investigated whether the subjects enrolled for an engineering degree who used intuition as their dominant auxiliary function performed well in a course designed to promote creative thought. The results were inconclusive and this might be due to the small sample group and numerous variables that were not controlled.Dissertation (MA (Psychology))--University of Pretoria, 2006.Psychologyunrestricte

Review of the literature on negative health risks based interventions to guide anabolic steroid misuse prevention

Background. Despite the Internet and the WorldWideWeb providing ready access to information on the risks and health consequences of AS misuse for all ages, AS use remains a public health concern. The aim of this narrative review is to examine the ability of negative health consequences information (NHCI) to prevent adolescent AS misuse in the era of the Internet information revolution. Methods. A search of the literature published between January 2000 and March 2014 was conducted to identify studies that examined the effect of NHCI on AS use and other healthrelated social cognitive constructs and behavior in adolescent samples. Results. No empirical study was found that specifically investigated the isolated effect of NHCI on AS use. Other health-related intervention studies - involving adolescents - showed that the severity of the consequences tied to social disapproval can be more effective than the severity tied to health consequences. Relevance of NHCI can operate as a moderator or a mediator of the relationship between NHCI and social cognitive constructs and behavior change. Pre-existing knowledge about negative health consequences functions as a mediator of the relationship between NHCI and social cognitive constructs and outcomes. Conclusion. The best way to understand the effect of NHCI on social cognitive constructs and behavior is to consider it in a larger nomological network that includes perceived severity, vulnerability, relevance and pre-existing knowledge. The review highlights gaps in the literature and suggests directions for future research. Implications for prevention programs are discussed
