Resumen

This study explores the use of Adolescent Problems and Risk Behaviours Inventory (IPERI)to predict the relationship of personal problems on risky behaviour among adolescence aged14 to 17. The objective of this research is to analyse the influence of personal problems suchas study problems, family support, financial problems, career indecision, peer influence,spiritual management and health condition on the development of risky behaviours amongadolescents. The risky behaviours comprise of eight (8) behaviours which include disciplineproblems, physical bulling, suicidal thoughts, free sex, tobacco consumption, alcohol abuse,drug abuse and media influence. A survey using Adolescent Problems and Risk BehavioursInventory (IPERI) is administered to three hundred and seventy-nine (379) respondents, agebetween 14 to 17. The analysis of Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Standard MultipleRegression showed the existence of significance between all the problem variables, studyproblems (r = .316), family support (r = .256), financial problems (r = .240), health condition(r = .134), peer influence (r = .189), career indecision (r = .185) and spiritual management(r = .242), with the risky behaviour variables. This research contributes to the profilingof adolescents’ risky behaviours which can guide the development of interventions in tacklingadolescent’s risky behaviours. Keywords: Personal problem; risky behavior; adolescent; spiritual; sexual

Resumen

The study examined associations reported by carers between problem behaviour of 92 adults with intellectual disability and 169 antecedent events, which were either environmental situations or prior behaviours of the client. Factor analyses were used to identify groupings of antecedents, providing a basis for constructing 19 sets of antecedents of problem behaviours. Assessments were made of the psychometric properties of these sets of items or scales. Of the 19 scales, 18 were associated with an increased likelihood of problem behaviour, showing that carers reported that the problem behaviours of this sample occurred in a wide range of defined situations. The preliminary analysis suggests that the scales may be useful for inquiring more systematically about antecedents, for developing descriptions of situations where problems occur, and for identifying situations that warrant further analysis in individual cases.

Resumen

The research aimed to find out the manifestations and rate of occurrence of problem behaviour among pupils with specific developmental learning disabilities in teachers’ reflections. Differences in the rate of occurrence of pupils’ problem behaviour were compared with regard to their current level of education, position in the class, and academic achievement. Data were gathered by content analysis of text documents – pupil pedagogical profiles including the Conners Rating Scale for teachers (1969, 1999). Data were processed by SPSS, the method of statistical inference, Mann-Whitney U-test, and Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance. A variability of SLD pupils’ behaviours was discovered. The most pronounced manifestations included internalising problem behaviours; externalising problem behaviours were mostly disruptive and inattentive behaviours. SLD pupils with poor academic achievement were characterised by significantly more frequent manifestations of problem behaviour.

Resumen

Problem behaviours in cats, such as urine marking, scratching, fear, and problems of cohabitation between cats, can present a potential welfare problem for those affected cats and have a negative impact on the human–animal bond. The aim of this study was to develop a Cat Behaviour Issues Assessment Scale (CABIAS) for caregivers to assess these common problem behaviours in cats, and to investigate aspects of the validity and reliability of the CABIAS. The CABIAS uses an index score as a scoring system combining aspects of the frequency and intensity of the problem behaviour. An electronic survey was developed, and 384 households, each with two participants able to observe the cat’s behaviour, were recruited for the study. The participants were asked to record their cat’s behaviour independently at weekly intervals over a 6-week period. A FELIWAY Optimum diffuser (containing a commercial feline pheromone complex) was provided to half of the participants, to be used during part of the study. The participants were subdivided into four groups according to whether a problem behaviour was present (or not) and whether the pheromone diffuser was provided (or not). The results demonstrated that the index scores for each problem behaviour had very high inter-rater reliability. There was a high correlation between the index scores and the impact the problem behaviours had on the caregivers. In those cats with a declared problem behaviour where the product was used, a reduction in index scores was observed over the duration of the study. The CABIAS was shown to exhibit satisfactory validity, reliability, and sensitivity to change in the current study, suggesting that it may be valuable as a tool for assessing and monitoring scratching, inter-cat cohabitation, urine marking, and fear in cats. The CABIAS could be used by veterinarians and behaviourists to assess these problem behaviours in individual cats and monitor responses to treatment. The CABIAS could also be considered as a research tool to assess the efficacy of interventions aimed at improving these problems.

Resumen

Practical relevance: Cats are descended from a solitary, territorial ancestor, and while domestication has reduced their inherited tendency to be antagonistic towards all animals larger than their typical prey, they still place more reliance on the security of their territory than on psychological attachments to people or other cats, the exact opposite to dogs. Many feline problem behaviours stem from perceived threats to this security, often due to conflicts with other cats. Others are more developmental in origin, often caused by inadequate exposure to crucial stimuli, especially people, during the socialisation period. Strongly aversive events experienced at any age can also contribute. A third category comprises normal behaviour that owners deem unacceptable, such as scratching of furniture. Evidence base: This review identifies three areas in which basic research is inadequate to support widely employed concepts and practices in feline behavioural medicine. First, classification of cats’ problem behaviours relies heavily on approaches derived from studies of their behavioural ecology and, to some extent, extrapolation from canine studies. Few studies have focused on cats in the home, the environment in which most behavioural disorders are expressed. Secondly, cats’ chemical senses (olfactory and vomeronasal) are far more sensitive than our own, making it difficult for owners or clinicians to fully comprehend the sensory information upon which they base their behaviour. Thirdly, although the concept of psychological distress is widely invoked as an intervening variable in behavioural disorders, there are still no reliable measures of distress for pet cats in the home. Global importance: Psychological distress of some kind is the primary cause of many of the behavioural problems presented to clinicians, but surveys indicate that many more cats display the same clinical signs without their owners ever seeking help. The welfare of this ‘invisible’ group could be improved by veterinarians taking a more proactive approach to educating their clients about the behavioural needs of pet cats.

Resumen

Abstract Objectives Maternal pre-pregnancy weight is known to affect foetal development. However, it has not yet been clarified if gestational weight gain is associated with childhood behavioural development. Methods We performed a pooled analysis of two prospective birth cohorts to investigate the association between gestational weight gain and childhood problem behaviours, and the effect modification of maternal pre-pregnancy BMI. In total, 378 mother–child pairs from the Maastricht Essential Fatty Acids Birth cohort (MEFAB) and 414 pairs from the Rhea Mother–Child cohort were followed up from early pregnancy to 6–7 years post-partum. At follow up, parents assessed their children’s behaviour, measured as total problems, internalizing and externalizing behaviours, with the Child Behaviour Checklist. We computed cohort- and subject-specific gestational weight gain trajectories using mixed-effect linear regression models. Fractional polynomial regressions, stratified by maternal pre-pregnancy BMI status, were then used to examine the association between gestational weight gain and childhood problem behaviours. Results In the pre-pregnancy overweight/obese group, greater gestational weight gain was associated with higher problem behaviours. On average, children of women with overweight/obesity who gained 0.5 kg/week scored 25 points higher (on a 0–100 scale) in total problems and internalizing behaviours, and about 18 points higher in externalizing behaviours than children whose mothers gained 0.2 kg/week. Inconsistent results were found in the pre-pregnancy normal weight group. Conclusions for Practice Excessive gestational weight gain in women with pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity might increase problem behaviours in school-age children. Particular attention should be granted to avoid excessive weight gain in women with a pre-pregnancy overweight or obesity.

Resumen

Negative discipline has been linked to childhood externalizing behaviour. However, relatively little attention has been given to the potential effect of individual personality characteristics of children and parents. Using the Five Factor Model, we examined the extent to which parents' and children's personality characteristics were related to parenting and children's externalizing behaviour in a proportional stratified general population sample (N=599) of elementary‐school‐aged children. Based on Patterson's macromodel of parenting, an initial model was built, hypothesizing that the impact of parents' and child's personality dimensions on externalizing problems was fully mediated by negative discipline. Results supported a modified model that added direct pathways between parent and child personality characteristics and externalizing problem behaviour. For the mother data, as well as for the father data, children's Extraversion and Imagination were positively related to children's externalizing problem behaviours. Children's Benevolence and Conscientiousness and parents' Emotional Stability were negatively related to externalizing problem behaviours. For the mother data, maternal Agreeableness was positively related to externalizing problem behaviours too. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Resumen

The study explored the dimensionality of parental ratings of positive and negative aspects of behaviour in a sample of 4-year-olds (n = 377). The children were described using the Preschool Behaviour Questionnaire (PBQ) with items added to include ego strength/effectance and social competence. Factor analytic results showed a 2-factor structure in the PBQ behaviour problem area: factor 1 describing externalised conduct behaviour problems; and factor 2 encompassing the internalised anxious-fearful problems. Factor analysis of both positive and negative behavioural aspects yielded a 3-factor structure with externalised problem behaviours as the first factor, a second broad social inhibition factor, and an ego strength/effectance factor. Correlations showed a low positive relationship between the two problem areas; a stronger relationship was found between the positive aspects, peer competence, and ego strength/effectance. There was a weak significant negative correlation between peer competence behaviours and outgoing conduct problems. Peer competence was more strongly negatively related to anxiousfearful behaviour problems. Conceptual and methodological aspects were discussed and the results were related to the inhibition-disinhibition construct in temperament research.

Resumen

Individuals with intellectual disabilities commonly engage in a variety of problematic behaviours such as aggression and self-injury. This paper discusses the value of using a communicative model to study these behaviour problems. First, the reciprocal nature of behaviour problems is outlined. Next, research on the use of functional communication training as a treatment for behaviour problems is reviewed in terms of its initial effectiveness, generalisation, and maintenance, as well as the mechanisms responsible for behaviour change. Finally, recommendations are made for future research and training efforts aimed at reducing severe behaviour problems.

Resumen

This review integrates findings from the research fields of temperament, cognitive processes and childhood psychopathology. It examines the role of temperamental effortful control (EC) in both internalising and externalising behaviours in children. The difficulties in operationalising the construct of EC and its developmental trajectory are also highlighted. The review then reviews evidence for attentional biases (hypervigilance to threat, disengagement difficulties and avoidance) in anxiety and aggression. Research is presented which considers the association between attentional biases and EC and discusses this association as a risk factor in the development of childhood anxiety a similar process is presented as a potential risk in externalising behaviours.

Resumen

This study examines the spontaneous causal attributions made by mothers about their child's behaviour, before and after they attended a Behaviour Management Group for the management of their child's conduct problem behaviours. The attributions of eight mothers were extracted and coded from discourse using the Leeds Attributional Coding System. It was found that mothers made more attributions to positive child behaviours, and fewer to negative child behaviours following the intervention. As predicted there were some changes from pre- to post-intervention in the nature of attributions made. For all types of child behaviour mothers shifted towards causal attributions which were universal, specific and internal to themselves post-intervention. Negative child behaviours were attributed to causes which were more unstable and specific following the intervention, suggesting mothers explanations were more benign post-intervention. Positive child behaviours were more often attributed to causes which were controllable to the mothers post-intervention, suggesting they were taking some credit for the emergence of such behaviours. Methodological issues, proposals for further research and clinical implications are discussed.

Resumen

This thesis shows how children’s learning is influenced and modified by the teaching environment. The metacognitive, self-regulatory learning behaviours of sixteen kindergarten students were examined in order to determine how students perceive learning, either by adopting deep approaches, where the focus is on understanding and meaning, or surface approaches, where the meeting of institutional demands frequently subjugate the former goals. The data have been analysed within a qualitative paradigm from a phenomenographic perspective. The study addresses three issues: the nature and frequency of the strategic learning behaviours displayed by the students; the contribution strategic behaviours make to the adoption of deep or surface learning approaches; and how metacognitive teaching environments influence higher-order thinking. Findings reveal that where teachers had metcognitive training, the frequency of strategy use increased irrespective of student performance. High achieving students used more strategic behaviours, used them with greater efficiency, and tended to display more of the characteristics of deep approach learners. This study suggests that many of the differential outcomes evident amongst students may be substantially reduced through early and consistent training within a teaching environment conductive to the development of metacognitive, self-regulatory behaviours and deep learning approaches Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Resumen

The broad aim of this research was to investigate group work in schools with friends and acquaintances. More specifically, the study sought to identify motivational factors that may underlie students' attitudes and behaviours when working in these contexts. Independent and interdependent self-construal, and self-efficacy for group work, were identified as variables that may be important for working in friendship and acquaintance groups. The participants were Year 10 and Year 11 students from secondary schools in the metropolitan area of Sydney, Australia. Data collection was carried out in three phases, the first two were survey-based, and the third was a mixed-methods study. In phase 1, participants (N = 188) attended two Independent schools. The main data analyses comprised exploratory factor analysis and multiple regression analysis. In phase 2, the participants (N = 583) attended nine randomly selected public schools. Data analysis was carried out using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling. In phase 3, participants (N = 38), attended two randomly selected public schools. In this phase, survey, observational and interview data were collected and analysed. The observational analysis centred on how students in friendship and acquaintance groups interacted whilst working on a group problem-solving activity. The interviews focused on students' experiences in the group problem-solving activity and their general perceptions, beliefs, and feelings about group work with friends and acquaintances. Group performance in the problem-solving activity was measured. Two results seemed particularly important. First, was the suggestion that self-efficacy for being receptive to the ideas of others and- self-efficacy for group facilitation in the friendship context may "flow-on" to corresponding self-efficacy beliefs in the acquaintance context. Second, interdependent and independent self, and self-efficacy for group work, were identified as important variables with regard to students' attitudes and behaviours in friendship and acquaintance groups. From a theoretical perspective the focus in this research on self-beliefs represents a relatively new way of studying group work with friends and acquaintances. From a practical perspective, the findings from the research should provide direction for teachers when they make decisions about how to organize students into groups for the purposes of learning.

Resumen

Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY), a nationally representative and prospective cohort, was used to explore patterns of problem behaviour in elementary school aged children across time and their association to adolescent health-risk outcomes. Latent profile analyses identified four profiles of problem behaviour: (1) low on all problem behaviours, (2) moderate on all problem behaviours, (3) high on all problem behaviours, and (4) high on hyperactivity/inattention and internalizing. This measurement invariant trend was observed at ages 6/7, 8/9, and 10/11. Transition patterns between these profiles of problem behaviour from ages 6/7 to 10/11 were also identified (n=8,266). The association of these profiles and transition patterns with health-risk outcomes were computed using logistic regression modelling. While patterns of persisting problem behaviour were associated with suicidal thoughts, substance use, and delinquency, they did not differ from the profile at age 10/11 years, where the “Moderate all” and “High all” profiles of problem behaviour predicted the most health-risk outcomes in adolescence. The most recent assessment of problem behaviour in adolescence was as good of a predictor of adolescent health-risk outcomes relative to patterns of problem behaviour across time.

Resumen

In evolutionary robotics there has been research about the pursuit problem with different numbers of predators and prey: (i) one predator and one prey, (ii) many predators against one prey, and (iii) many predators against many prey. However, these different experiments are only involving food chains with two populations (two trophic levels). This dissertation uses three trophic levels to investigate if individuals in the middle trophic level perform equally or better than those that are been evolved in a two trophic level environment.The investigation was done in a simulator called YAKS. A statistical analysis was conducted to evalutate the results. The result indicated that a robot with two tasks gets better at hunting and evading than robots with one task (either hunt or evade). Robots from the middle trophic level that are moving in the same direction as the camera is facing, were the best predators and prey. This dissertation is a step towards more complex and animal-like behaviours of robots.

Resumen

Difficulty adjusting during the first years of school is associated with negative long-term academic and behaviour outcomes (Alexander, Entwisle, & Horsey, 1997; Ladd & Dinella, 2009; Qualter, Brown, Munn, & Rotenberg, 2010). Externalizing and internalizing behaviour problems can interfere with the ability to engage in learning or get along with others at school. Teacher-child relationship quality has been found to predict a variety of academic and social outcomes for children (e.g., Hamre & Pianta, 2001; Ladd & Burgess, 2001; Maldonado-Carreño & Votruba-Drzal, 2011; Pianta & Stuhlman, 2004). Of interest in the current study is whether teacher-child relationships moderate or mediate the association between problem behaviours observed at school and student ratings of school adjustment. The sample of students (n = 482) was taken from a longitudinal study of the school adjustment of Italian school children. Results from sequential regression analyses indicated that teacher ratings of students’ externalizing behaviours were related to student self-reports of loneliness at school and school liking. There was no evidence that teacher-child relationship features mediated the association between problem behaviours and school adjustment, although teacher-child closeness was found to moderate the relationship between physical aggression and school liking.

Resumen

AbstractThe welfare state is an integral part of western industrialised democracies. While its most obvious function is to provide a safety net for individuals, who are threatened by social risks, it also has far-reaching effects on a multitude of social phenomena, such as the formation of attitudes and behaviours.

Resumen

The synthesis of energy systems necessitates simultaneous optimization of both design and operation across all components within the energy system. In real-world applications, this synthesis poses a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problem, considering nonlinear behaviours such as investment cost curves and part-load performance. The complexity increases further when seasonal energy storage is involved, as it requires temporal coupling of the full time series. Although numerous solution approaches exist to solve the synthesis problems simplified by linearization, methods for solving a full-scale problem are currently missing. In this work, we introduce a rigorous method, RiNSES4, to manage the nonlinear aspects of energy system synthesis, particularly focusing on long-term time-coupling constraints. RiNSES4 calculates the upper and lower bounds of the initial synthesis problem in two separate branches. The proposed method yields feasible solutions through upper bounds, while evaluating the solution quality via lower bounds. The solution quality is iteratively enhanced by increasing the resolution for calculating upper bounds and tightening the relaxations for computing lower bounds. Both branches work simultaneously and independently, with their outcomes compared after each iteration within each branch. The iterations continue until a predefined optimality gap is reached. We apply RiNSES4 to design a photovoltaic and battery energy system, considering the seasonality of both energy supply and demand sides. In comparison with a state-of-the-art commercial solver, RiNSES4 enables to solve the MINLP synthesis problem with great temporal detail and shows high potential.

Resumen

Abstract Graphite has been used for many years as an anode in cathodic protection deep systems. As with any product, operational problems have occurred over the years. This paper explains the problem areas and shows how anode construction methods and material selection can be utilized to produce better anode life. In addition to a discussion on anode improvements, the anode-backfill interface is addressed. Various test methods are stated so as to provide a method of selecting carbon which will provide the most conductive anode-backfill interface. By addressment of graphite anode problems and a proper selection of the immediate surrounding medium, longer graphite anode life can be promoted.

Resumen

Even motivated students procrastinate, for procrastination is triggered by a volitional (rather than by a motivational) problem. However, many factors, such as learning context, teacher interpersonal style, and also type of motivation may influence the occurrence of procrastination. The aim of the present study was to assess the relations between first-year university students’ procrastination and controlling teacher behaviour. Four types of controlling teacher behaviour and three distinct measures of procrastination were ecvaluated and their correlations assessed. Findings revealed small but significant associations between (a) conditional use of rewards and decisional procrastination, and between (b) excessive personal control and procrastination linked to avoiding tasks. Results suggest that controlling teacher behaviours might influence students’ psychological experiences in learning negatively. Teachers who do not refrain from constant use of conditional rewards may deffer students’ decision processes regarding their own autonomous academic learning, and excessive personal control may favour students’ perceptions of external regulations, decreasing intrinsic motivation and autonomous self-regulated learning and, thus, making it more likely to engage in alternative activities, procrastinating academic learning.

Resumen

Abstract—NPC [non-player characters] have progressed over the past two decades, they fulfil a number of different roles, each with different problems and development techniques. When fulfilling the role typically reserved for human-players, a problem occurs because they can be identified as NPC by observing their gameplay behaviours. This has negative consequences when deployed in a team-based game where eliminations impact game objectives. This research investigates the key combat characteristics exhibited by players during certain scenarios, analysing the data acquired through experiments to determine where generalised patterns emerge. It also explores the combat awareness of players when NPCs have overly tuned combat skill, and determine how effective standard game industry techniques are for creating believable NPCs.

Resumen

As almost every major problem that humankind faces is a consequence of human behaviour, predicting behaviour and behaviour change is fundamental. Given the multitude of factors that affect our decision making, a transdisciplinary understanding of behaviour is impossible without the integration of data that crosses disciplinary boundaries. The concept of Conduct-“ome” is an analog of those holistic –“omic”-approaches found in the biological sciences which take a “totality of factors” approach, and provides a framework for studying human behaviour in a multifactorial, multidisciplinary context, accounting for a wealth of potential causes of behaviour, from the genetic and epigenetic to psychological, neurological, social, physiological, clinical, socio-economic, socio-demographic, socio-political and ethical factors. Conductome, as opposed to behaviour-ome, is used, as it directly addresses the “whys” (causes) of the considered behaviour. We argue that behaviour can only be understood probabilistically, through a process of statistical inference that constructs P(A|X), the probability for a conduct A conditioned on the large set of factors, X, that predict it. This inference process can be based on an “external” ensemble of objective, countable events, using a frequentist interpretation of probabilities, or on an “internal” ensemble, implicit in our mental models and based on a Bayesian interpretation. Including both these approaches allows one to compare objective, observable reality with the subjective perception of reality constructed within a mental model, allowing for the identification of discrepancies between the two in the form of cognitive biases. A key component for constructing the Conductome is the obtention of data that transcends disciplines that can be used to link a range of relevant behaviours as internal and external effects to their causes. A second component is the use of advanced modelling tools, such as machine learning, for the analysis of such multi-scale data and the construction of explicit prediction models for a given conduct. In this article, the feasibility of the Conductome approach is illustrated by considering obesity-related behaviours; as obesity has become one of the key social problems that affects a growing segment of the population worldwide. In summary: The objective is to understand, interpret and provide an interdisciplinary, computational, and data-based framework for generating prediction models for addressing problems that originate in human behaviour.

Resumen

Purpose: Previous research by NatCen identified a potential health-harm paradox for mental wellbeing and gambling, finding that those with poor mental wellbeing or a diagnosed mental health condition were more likely to experience problem gambling despite being less likely to gamble at all. This report aimed to explore this further, testing three specific hypothesis which could account for this association: 1. That people with poorer mental wellbeing who gamble do so more frequently and it is this increased frequency of gambling that drives elevated rates of gambling severity. 2. That people with poorer mental wellbeing who gamble generally take part in higher risk health behaviours (e.g., higher-risk alcohol consumption; cigarette smoking) and this drives the association. 3. That people with poorer mental wellbeing who gamble are more likely to take part in specific types of gambling that are associated with higher rates of harms. This report explores these potential mechanisms, using data collected in recent Health surveys across England and Scotland. Methodology: Data from the 2015-2017 Scottish Health Survey and the 2015, 2016 & 2018 Health Survey for England were combined, and bivariate analysis was conducted first to confirm that the relationships between mental health, moderate risk/problem gambling and gambling patterns did not vary significantly between survey years. With this established, binary logistic regressions using the combined data from both the Scottish and English Health Survey series were employed to investigate explanatory factors of the association between mental health and experiences of moderaterisk/problem gambling. These include gambling and other health-related factors. These were first conducted on the full sample, and then separate models were estimated for men and women to provide further insights by gender. Measures: For the exposure variable, three different established measures of mental health were used: doctor diagnosis of a mental health condition, the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS; a score of 40 or below indicating probable depression) and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12; a score of 4 or more indicating significant mental distress). The outcome variable of moderate risk/problem gambling was measured by the Canadian Problem Gambling Index’s Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI), while gambling activities and frequency were derived from multiple questions in the combined surveys. The PGSI is a measure of the riskiness of a person’s gambling habits. Someone identified as a moderate risk gambler experiences a moderate level of problems with their gambling which can lead to some negative consequences. These might be spending more than they can afford, losing track of time while gambling, or feeling guilty about how much they gamble. A person identified as a problem gambler in the PGSI score will also face negative consequences from their gambling, as well as a possible loss of control. Control variables included socio-demographic characteristics and alcohol and cigarette consumption. Results: Our results confirm previous findings that people with poor mental wellbeing or a diagnosed mental health condition were significantly more likely to experience moderate risk or problem gambling despite being less likely to gamble at all. For example, 50% of those experiencing significant mental distress gambled in the past year compared with 54% of those not experiencing significant mental distress, yet rates of experiencing moderate risk/problem gambling respectively were 2.4% and 1.2%. Logistic regression models showed that the associations between moderate risk and problem gambling and both ‘mental distress’ (measured in the GHQ) and ‘probable depression’ (the WEMWBS) were not fully accounted for by differences in gambling frequency, gambling activity or engagement in other risky health behaviours. Thus, these alternative explanations for the association between mental wellbeing and moderate risk or problem gambling was not supported by any of the three hypotheses tested. In the fully adjusted models, controlling for all these alternative explanations, the odds ratio of moderate risk/problem gambling were 1.86 times higher among those with probable depression and 2.56 times higher among those with significant mental distress. This relationship is not explained by those with poor mental wellbeing who gamble participating in gambling more often, engaging in higher-risk health behaviours or in specific types of gambling activity. However, when looking at doctor-diagnosed mental health conditions and moderate risk or problem gambling, only one hypothesis was rejected – that increased gambling frequency could explain this association. When cigarette smoking and high-risk alcohol consumption were controlled for, and when engagement in specific gambling activities were taken into account, there was no evidence of an association between doctor-diagnosed mental health conditions and moderate risk/problem gambling Finally, gender-stratified analysis revealed that for men with poor mental wellbeing or a diagnosed mental health condition had a similar relationship to moderate risk/problem gambling as the whole population. For women, the study was underpowered to look at this in detail. Implications: Findings from this research suggest that the relationship between poor mental wellbeing and moderate risk/problem gambling is not driven by differences in gambling or other high-risk health behaviour, particularly amongst people experiencing anxiety or depression. The association between poor mental wellbeing and experiences of moderate risk and problem gambling in this data persists when these behaviours are taken into account, though the direction of any causal (or potentially reciprocal) relationship has not been established in this cross-sectional data. Although other factors not measured in study may explain this relationship, it is concerning that people with poor mental wellbeing are more likely to experience gambling harms, despite lower levels of gambling engagement. Therefore, gambling should be embedded within broader strategies for improving mental health (for example, as a risk factor for poor mental wellbeing; for suicidality etc.) and should be considered as both a potential cause and consequence of moderate risk and problem gambling, to help to identify and address this. It also highlights the need for additional research into the specific doctor-diagnosed mental health conditions that increase the risk of moderate risk/problem gambling, as well as further investigations into the causal pathway between both mental distress and depression and moderate risk/problem gambling.

Resumen

The purpose of this project was to review and utilise methods from other disciplines in the social sciences in order to be able make stronger causal claims using crosssectional gambling data such as gambling prevalence studies. We focused on the question of whether there is a causal relationship between specific gambling products and individual gambling harms, specifically problem gambling. There has been an existing literature that has looked at this issue, but fails to control for selection biases on engagement with specific gambling behaviours. We reviewed and used three approaches: propensity score matching, coarsened exact matching, and sample selection modelling to account for this limitation. Then, we applied them to examine the relationship between 8 types of gambling activity (online betting, offline betting, pools, scratchcards, lotteries, pools, offline bingo, and slot machines/FOBTs) on problem gambling in 9 British gambling prevalence surveys: the Health Survey for England in 2012, 2015, 2016 and 2016; the Scottish Health Survey in 2012, 2015, and 2016, and the British Gambling Prevalence Study in 2007 and 2010. The results showed most gambling activities were, unsurprisingly, associated with an increased risk of addictive behaviour. However, there was a clear gradient of risk. For some gambling activities (i.e., online gambling, slots), the effect sizes were substantially higher than others (i.e., lotteries). The modelling also highlighted covariates that exert strong effects on both the IV and DV of interest at the same time, such as age. The findings of this project thus highlight the importance of controlling for selection mechanisms that influence both engagement and outcomes of interest. There are some activities (e.g., bingo, pools) where these substantially affect relationships between engagement and harms. Nonetheless, there is clear evidence of associations between certain types of gambling product and indicators of harm when these are controlled for.

Resumen

This paper uses data from the Global School-based Student Health Survey toinvestigate the prevalence of health risk behaviors, in particular substance use, risky sexual behavior, and violence among adolescents in 15 Latin American and Caribbean countries. Using logit regressions and meta-analysis, we find that having parents engaged in raising their children is associated with significantly reduced problem behaviors in adolescents. That said, in the Caribbean the prevalence of health risk behaviors in adolescents is higher and engaged parents is lower than in Latin America, and the correlation between engaged parenting and reduced risk behaviors is generally weaker. Nonetheless, for both subgroups of countries, engaged parents do appear to make a difference.

Resumen

The Australian Child Maltreatment Study (ACMS) is a landmark study for our nation. The ACMS research team has generated the first nationally representative data on the prevalence of each of the five types of child maltreatment in Australia, and their associated health impacts through life. We also identified information about the context of maltreatment experiences, including how old children are when it occurs, and who inflicts it. This knowledge about which children are most at risk of which types of abuse and neglect, at which ages, and by whom, is needed to develop evidencebased population approaches required to reduce child maltreatment in Australia. The concerning prevalence of maltreatment and its devastating associated outcomes present an urgent imperative for nation-building reform to better protect Australian children and reduce associated costs to individuals, families, communities and broader society. The ACMS collected data from 8500 randomly selected Australians aged 16-65 years and older. We included an oversample of 3500 young people 16-24 years of aged to generate particularly strong data about child maltreatment in contemporary Australian society, to assess its associated impacts in adolescence and early adulthood, and to allow future prevalence studies to detect reductions in prevalence rates over time. Our participants aged 25 and over enabled us to understand prevalence trends at different times in Australian history, and to measure associated health outcomes through life. Participants provided information on childhood experiences of each of the five types of child abuse and neglect, and other childhood adversities, mental health disorders, health risk behaviours, health services utilisation, and more. Our findings provide the first nationally representative data on the prevalence of child maltreatment in Australia. Moreover, the ACMS is the first national study globally to examine maltreatment experiences and associated health and social outcomes of all five forms of child maltreatment. Taken together, our findings provide a deep understanding of the prevalence, context and impact of child abuse and neglect in Australia and make an important contribution to the international field. This brief report presents the main findings from the ACMS for a general public audience. These main findings are further detailed in seven peer-reviewed scholarly articles, published in a special edition of the Medical Journal of Australia, Australia’s leading medical journal. Forthcoming work will examine other important questions about the impacts of specific maltreatment experiences to generate additional evidence to inform governments and stakeholders about optimal prevention policy and practice. There is cause for hope. In recent years, there have been reductions in physical abuse, and in some types of sexual abuse. These reductions are extremely important. They mean that fewer children are suffering, and they indicate that change is possible. Policies and programs to reduce these types of maltreatment are having an effect. Yet, there are other concerning trends, with some types of maltreatment becoming even more common, including emotional abuse, some types of sexual abuse, and exposure to domestic violence. And new types of sexual victimisation are also emerging. As a society, we have much work to do. We know that child maltreatment can be reduced if we work together as governments, service sectors, and communities. We need to invest more, and invest better. It is a moral, social and economic imperative for Australian governments to develop a coordinated long-term plan for generational reform. We have found that: 1. Child maltreatment is widespread. 2. Girls experience particularly high rates of sexual abuse and emotional abuse. 3. Child maltreatment is a major problem affecting today’s Australian children and youth – it is not just something that happened in the past. 4. Child maltreatment is associated with severe mental health problems and behavioural harms, both in childhood and adulthood. 5. Child maltreatment is associated with severe health risk behaviours, both in childhood and adulthood. 6. Emotional abuse is particularly harmful, and is much more damaging than society has understood.

Problem-solving skills help individuals cope with problem by analyzing it, and proposing viable solutions based upon available information. They are crucial for learning, societal participation, and personal activities, as well as for employment success. They decrease depression and aggression while improving academic performance and prosocial behaviors. Developing problem-solving skills can start at a young age through methods like problem-based learning, inquiry-based learning, and project work. In this brief we tell you more about its relevance, as well as successful initiatives to foster these skills and the existing tools to measure them.

Texto completo

Resumen

This paper characterizes creative cognition as a multi-armed bandit problem involving a trade-off between exploration and exploitation in sequential decisions from experience taking place in novel uncertain environments. Creative cognition implements an efficient learning process in this kind of dynamic decision. Special emphasis is put on the optimal sequencing of divergent and convergent behavior by showing that divergence must be inhibited at one point to converge toward creative behavior so that excessive divergence is counterproductive. We test this hypothesis in two behavioral experiments, using both novel and well-known tasks and precise measures of individual differences in creative potential in middle and high school students. Results in both studies confirmed that a task-dependent mix of divergence and convergence predicted high performance in a production task and better satisfaction in a consumption task, but exclusively in novel uncertain environments. These predictions were maintained after controlling for gender, personality, incentives, and other factors. As hypothesized, creative cognition was shown to be necessary for high performance under the appropriate conditions. However, it was not necessary for getting high grades in a traditional school system.

Texto completo

Resumen

High-level action programming languages such as Golog have successfully been used to model the behavior of autonomous agents. In addition to a logic-based action formalism for describing the environment and the effects of basic actions, they enable the construction of complex actions using typical programming language constructs. To ensure that the execution of such complex actions leads to the desired behavior of the agent, one needs to specify the required properties in a formal way, and then verify that these requirements are met by any execution of the program. Due to the expressiveness of the action formalism underlying Golog (situation calculus), the verification problem for Golog programs is in general undecidable. Action formalisms based on Description Logic (DL) try to achieve decidability of inference problems such as the projection problem by restricting the expressiveness of the underlying base logic. However, until now these formalisms have not been used within Golog programs. In the present paper, we introduce a variant of Golog where basic actions are defined using such a DL-based formalism, and show that the verification problem for such programs is decidable. This improves on our previous work on verifying properties of infinite sequences of DL actions in that it considers (finite and infinite) sequences of DL actions that correspond to (terminating and non-terminating) runs of a Golog program rather than just infinite sequences accepted by a Büchi automaton abstracting the program.
