“…This may relate to inconsistencies often found between verbal and non-verbal behaviours in prison or special hospitals. The Weisbuch et al (2009) study supports the view of West and Greenall (2011), and an earlier observation by McDougall and Clark (1991), that verbal and physical behaviour of offenders were frequently contradictory. This is unsurprising given that interviews are still an important aspect of assessment for release.…”

“…In the study by Weisbuch et al (2009), the authors found that nonverbal behaviour exhibited consistency across context and time whereas verbal behaviour did not. Results from the current study support the notion of consistency of non-verbal behaviour across context and time.…”

“…A similar conclusion was drawn by Weisbuch, Slepian, Clark, Ambady, and Veenstra-VanderWeele (2009) who showed in a laboratory situation that nonverbal behaviour exhibited consistency across context and time (a duration of 2 years) whereas verbal behaviour did not. Weisbuch et al (2009) argued that nonverbal behaviours such as facial expressions, body posture, interpersonal distance, are together more difficult to control than the one verbal channel. This may relate to inconsistencies often found between verbal and non-verbal behaviours in prison or special hospitals.…”

Purpose. The release on licence of prisoners who have committed serious violent and/or sexual offences requires rigorous risk assessment and risk management. This study evaluates the ADViSOR project, designed to examine the contribution of prison behaviour monitoring to community supervision of a sample of the highest risk offenders released in England and Wales under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA).Method. The offence-related behaviour of a total group (n = 25) of MAPPA prisoners in one prison, due for release in the following year to two adjacent probation trust areas, was monitored. Their behaviours in the community were followed up for 1 year. A comparison group (n = 36) was formed of the total number of MAPPA prisoners released from prisons nationally to the same two probation trusts.Results. The frequencies of ADViSOR negative behaviours in prison and the community were strongly correlated, r s (25) = .55, p = .004, as were positive behaviours, r s (25) = .56, p = .004. No statistically significant correlations were found either under usual MAPPA processes in the ADViSOR prison or comparison group prisons. The frequency of ADViSOR negative behaviours statistically significantly predicted, with 92% accuracy, the offenders who would reoffend or be recalled to prison (n = 8). Statistically significant similarities in types of behaviour were also identified. Conclusion.Results are discussed in terms of the contribution of behavioural monitoring to risk prediction with high-risk offenders, consistency of cross-situational behaviours, and implications for policy and practice.Prediction of reoffending is a major topic of psychological and criminological research, and research evidence has greatly enhanced the accuracy of offence prediction methodologies. Risk prediction has progressed from an early reliance on clinical judgement

“…Many symbols and terms in chemistry make students attempted to memorize without understanding the meaning. In the theory of education and practice, the key of subject translation was to use the language, terms, and collection of vocabularies of the subject [21]. Verbal/nonverbal dimensions of chemistry related to the terms and languages in chemistry provides the most negative perception among the other dimensions.…”

Most secondary high school students think that chemistry was a difficult subject. Bad perception can influence the students' interest in chemistry. We aimed was to explore the students' perception toward chemistry in junior high school and its influences on students' interest to learn chemistry in secondary school. The qualitative-descriptive as the research method. The data were collected using several techniques: interview, classroom observation, and questionnaires. One science teacher and 27 junior high school students participated in this research. The results showed the junior high school students' interested with experimentation activities in learning chemistry, but they considered the chemistry as a complex science lesson with abstract symbols and terms must be memorized. The teachers' skill to deliver the abstract concept influences the students' interest. Bad perception toward chemistry makes students not interested in learning chemistry in secondary high school because they do not feel curious. Therefore, teachers are suggested to create a good first impression in learning chemistry.

“…Given the important role of these genes in various social behaviors, we hypothesized that genetic polymorphisms in each of these genes would be associated with social integration. Because behaviors are relatively stable across time (Huesmann et al, 1984; Weisbuch et al, 2010), we used an average social integration score across repeated measures over time to reduce extraneous (i.e., non-genetic) variability in the phenotype and increase power to detect genetic determinants. In addition, we explore whether there is a sex-dependent mechanism impacting the association in the present study given the evidence of sex-dependent action of OXT and AVP (Carter, 1998; Gabor et al, 2012; Wu et al, 2012).…”

Some evidence suggests that genetic polymorphisms in oxytocin pathway genes influence various social behaviors, but findings thus far have been mixed. Many studies have been based in small samples and there is possibility of publication bias. Using data from 2 large U.S. prospective cohorts with over 11,000 individuals, we investigated 88 SNPs in OXTR, AVPR1A, and CD38, in relation to social integration (measured as social connectedness in both binary and continuous forms and being continuously married). After correction for multiple testing only one SNP in CD38 (rs12644506) was significantly associated with social integration and that SNP predicted when using a dichotomized indicator of social connectedness (adjusted p=0.02), but not a continuous measure of social connectedness or the continuously married outcome. A significant gender-heterogeneous effect was identified in one OXTR SNP on dichotomized social connectedness; specifically, rs4686302 T allele was nominally associated with social connectedness in men, whereas the association direction was opposite in women (adjusted gender heterogeneity p=0.02). Furthermore, the rs53576 A allele was significantly associated with social connectedness only in women, and the effect magnitude was stronger in a dominant genetic model (adjusted p=0.003). In summary, our findings suggested that common genetic variants of OXTR, CD38, and AVPR1A are not associated with social integration as measured in this study using the simplified Berkman-Syme Social Network Index, but these findings and other work hint that effects may be modified by gender or other social experiences. Further work considering genetic pathways in relation to social integration may be more fruitful if these additional factors can be more comprehensively evaluated.
