U.S. College Students' Sexual Activity: The Unique and Interactive Effects of Emotion Regulation Difficulties and Attachment Style

ABSTACT

Objectives: This study explored the association between emotion regulation difficulties and sexual activity, and whether emotion regulation difficulties moderated the link between attachment and sexual activity. Methods: U.S. college students (N = 373) from two institutions completed self-report measures of sexual activity, emotion regulation difficulties and attachment. Results: Findings indicated that greater emotion regulation difficulties were associated with less frequent exclusive sexual activity. Moreover, emotion regulation difficulties moderated links between attachment avoidance and sexual activity, and associations varied according to relational context and gender. Conclusions: Implications for promoting sexual health and relationship intimacy are discussed.     

Who I Am and What I Think: The Contribution of Personality and Socioeconomic Traits to the Attitudes of Homeschooling Parents toward the Education System and Homeschooling in Israel

The consistent growth of homeschooling in recent decades can be considered a reflection of public criticism of the education system. This criticism has given rise to alternative education methods; homeschooling is one of the most radical examples. In light of the increasing scope of homeschooling and its significant implications, it is important to understand its origins. However, the research on the attitudes of parents who choose homeschooling has not considered the role of personality of parents in their attitudes. The purpose of the present research was to examine the contribution of socioeconomic and personality traits of parents to their attitudes, focusing on neuroticism, openness to experience, and anxiety and avoidance attachment styles. The findings indicated that parents’ personality contributed significantly to the explanation of their attitudes; in some cases, this contribution was mediated by their socioeconomic traits.     

李庄案程序性法律冲突新问题初探

由于我国现有法规存在瑕疵和漏洞,使司法机关整体作为回避主体被忽视,故应当完整、准确、具体地完善司法机关的回避制度,使司法机关的整体回避规定相对完整、独立地表现出来。由于律师并非当事人本人,无从判断事实真相,其教授辩护技巧与教唆作伪证难以区别,故全面、客观、公正地理解律师职业豁免权,也是《律师法》亟待解决的新问题之一。《刑事诉讼法》原则上要求证人应当出庭作证,其司法解释依此进行,但真正执行起来却是自相矛盾的,使得法庭难以依法裁判。而依据关键证人理论精神,李庄案证人理应出庭作证。此外,《刑事诉讼法》并未限制同案被告人出庭对质,实际上变相承认他们可以互为证人。     

贝卡里亚功利主义刑法思想体系构建的理论基础

贝卡里亚的刑法思想理论基础是建立在以需要为内容的人性观上的。而这种需要人性观的外在表现就是趋利避害。而贝卡里亚从这种需要人性观出发,论证了犯罪和刑罚,建立了贯穿《论犯罪与刑罚》的功利主义刑法思想。     

Pattern avoiding ballot paths and finite operator calculus

Counting pattern avoiding ballot paths begins with a careful analysis of the pattern. Not the length, but the characteristics of the pattern are responsible for the difficulties in finding explicit solutions. Certain features, like overlap and difference in number of →$\to$ and ↑$\uparrow$ steps determine the solution of the recursion formula. If the recursion can be solved by a polynomial sequence, we apply the Finite Operator Calculus to find an explicit form of the solution in terms of binomial coefficients.     

从应对无固定期限劳动合同的规避行为看《劳动合同法》完善

《劳动合同法》实施以来,无固定期限劳动合同引发了社会各界激烈的争论。从应对无固定期限劳动合同的规避行为中发现,我国《劳动合同法》有关无固定期限劳动合同存在价值取向脱离转型期的国情,法律规范设计不尽科学和法律制度不尽完善等不足,致使其难以有效规制和应对其规避行为。为克服这一缺陷,减少规避行为发生,我国《劳动合同法》应适度放松解雇无固定期限劳动合同的法律限制,完善无固定期限劳动合同法律规范体系和健全规避行为法律责任制度。

Problematic Domains of Romantic Relationships as a Function of Attachment Insecurity and Gender

Theoretically, securely attached adults view the world as safe and see their romantic partners as emotionally available, supportive, and non-threatening. Little is known, however, about which relationship domains are most problematic for securely (versus insecurely) attached adults. To fill this gap, we asked 62 adults in committed relationships to complete the Marital Satisfaction Inventory-Revised (MSI-R; Snyder, 1997), a measure of the frequency and severity of 10 kinds of couple problems, and the Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R; Fraley, Waller, & Brennan, 2000), a measure of attachment insecurity. High Avoidance and Anxiety were associated with numerous relationship problems being rated as frequent and severe. A canonical correlation showed that 26.5% of the variance in the set of relational problem areas was accounted for by attachment insecurity and gender. While greater attachment security was associated with fewer perceived difficulties in affective communication, irrespective of gender, greater Avoidance and Anxiety were associated with more difficulties in this area. Female participants with high Anxiety (and low Avoidance) reported more global relationship and family-of-origin distress, but fewer financial disagreements and less difficult problem-solving communication; conversely, male participants with high Avoidance (and low Anxiety) reported more financial disagreements and difficult problem-solving communication, but less global relationship and family-of-origin distress. These results have implications for practice by suggesting ways in which couples’ attachment dynamics can become manifested in specific kinds of relational difficulties.
