Much previous research (Trafimow & Fishbein, 1994a, 1994b) indicates that some behaviors are mostly under attitudinal control and some are mostly under normative control. Further, other research (Trafimow & Finlay, 1996) demonstrates that people, as well as behaviors, can be generally under attitudinal or normative control. The present research applies these ideas to the domain of health behaviors. Analyses conducted between‐subjects for each behavior, and within‐subjects across all of the behaviors, demonstrate that both behaviors and people can be under attitudinal or normative control when responding to items pertaining to health.
EnLP is an uncommon respiratory tract disorder of cats with no pathognomonic clinical, laboratory, or radiographic findings. Although EnLP was not the cause of death in any of these cats, results of the present study do suggest that EnLP may be a marker for potentially severe underlying obstructive pulmonary disease.
Although recent clinical literature has posited that both shame and depression are important aspects in the treatment of adult children of alcoholics (ACAs), proneness to shame and depression in this group remains underexamined. This study tests the hypotheses that ACAs are more prone to shame and depression than non-ACAs. The sample consisted of 60 women--30 ACAs and 30 non-ACAs--who were 22 to 55 years old during the study period and had begun treatment within the past 6 months. The dependent measures were the Depression Proneness Rating Scale and the Adapted Shame/Guilt Scale. Female ACAs were found to be more depression prone than non-ACAs (p < .05), and the difference was not explained by any of the other variables studied. Contrary to expectations, they were not found to be more shame prone. The results are discussed as they relate to alternative hypotheses, clinical implications, and future research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
