Effectiveness of a group-based intervention to change medication beliefs and improve medication adherence in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: A randomized controlled trial
Conclusion: This trial did not demonstrate superiority of our intervention over the control arm in changing beliefs about medication or in improving medication adherence over time.Practice implications: Absent intervention effects might have been due to, amongst others, selection bias and a suboptimal treatment integrity level. Hence, targeting beliefs about medication in clinical practice should not yet be ruled out.

"Our Sickness Record Is a National Disgrace": Adelle Davis, Nutritional Determinism, and the Anxious 1970s
America's most widely read nutritionist of the postwar decades, Adelle Davis, helped to shape Americans' eating habits, their child-feeding practices, their views about the quality of their food supply, and their beliefs about the impact of nutrition on their emotional and physical health. This paper closely examines Davis's writings and argues that even though she is often associated with countercultural food reformers like Alice Waters and Frances Moore Lappé, she had as much in common with the writings of interwar nutritionists and home economists. While she was alarmed about the impact of pesticides and food add...

Relationship Dynamics and Partner Beliefs About Viral Suppression: A Longitudinal Study of Male Couples Living with HIV/AIDS (The Duo Project)
Abstract Accurate beliefs about partners’ viral suppression are important for HIV prevention and care. We fit multilevel mixed effects logistic regression models to examine associations between partners’ viral suppression beliefs and objective HIV RNA viral load tests, and whether relationship dynamics were associated with accurate viral suppression beliefs over time. Male couples (N = 266 couples) with at least one HIV-positive partner on antiretroviral therapy completed five assessments over 2 years. Half of the 407 HIV-positive partners were virally suppressed. Of the 40 % who had inaccurate viral load ...

Personality traits and sleep quality: The role of sleep-related beliefs
This study investigated the relationship between personality (particularly emotional stability [ES] and conscientiousness [C]), subjective sleep-related factors (dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes about sleep, and metacognitive beliefs about sleeping difficulties), and self-reported and objective sleep quality.

Publication date: Available online 26 May 2015 Source:Journal of Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders Author(s): Steven Pirutinsky , Jedidiah Siev , David H. Rosmarin Dual-system models of cognition propose that the interplay between analytic and associative cognition determines emotions and behaviors. Scrupulosity, an OCD presentation dominated by religious or moral fears, involves fears that God is unreasonable and punitive, and previous research suggests that individuals with scrupulosity hold more negative concepts of God. The current research assessed if implicit associative aspects of these beliefs are releva...

These teachers from fifteen different states in the United States slightly agreed that they were efficacious writing teachers and they were slightly positive about their writing. They slightly agreed that learning to write involves effort and process, moderately disagreed that writing development is innate or fixed, slightly disagre...

Abstract B73: Do generational cohort differences in social networks influence persistent and sporadic screeners' perceptions of breast cancer screening?
Conclusions: Screeners with younger social networks may in part be influenced to be sporadic screeners because they do not benefit from exposure to more mature and experienced individuals in their social networks. The excess of younger generation members in sporadic screeners' networks may expose them generally to people who do not screen (or have limited screening experience) due to age. This exposure would confirm for them that reservation women generally do not favor screening and would explain their mixed view of friends' screening behavior. The younger membership of sporadic screeners' networks also may explain why th...
