A model testing factors that influence physical activity for Taiwanese adults with anxiety.

Oct 2008 The aim of this study was to test a theoretical model of the facilitators and barriers to physical activity for Taiwanese adults with anxiety. Structural equation modeling was used to examine both one-way direct and... Read more...

Conceptual challenges in the study of caregiver-care recipient relationships.

17 Sep 2008 BACKGROUND: In the literature on family caregiving, care receiving and caregiving are generally treated as distinct constructs, suggesting that informal care and support flow in a unidirectional manner from caregiver to... Read more...

Obsessive compulsive symptoms and the simulation of future negative events.

Sep 2008 OBJECTIVES: To explore whether Kahneman and Tversky's (1982) simulation heuristic might help account for why the obsessions of people with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) are so compelling to them. It was predicted... Read more...
