Readers Respond on "Do Parents Matter?"--And More...Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Parents and Peers As a psychologist very familiar with the research, I think in “ Do Parents Matter? ” Judith Harris is conflating personality and behavior, which are two different concepts. Personality has more to do with genetic traits related to mood and energy (which plenty of research indicates are strongly influenced by genetics). Behavior, on the other hand, depends on context and is guided by laws of behaviorism--that is, reinforcement principles. If parents do (or do not) provide reinforcement for specific types of behavior, you will either see or not see those behaviors. Likewise, certain behaviors wi...

Dental caries and tooth loss in adults in a Brazilian southeastern stateEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: In this study, the worse condition observed was the early tooth loss in all groups. In addition, people with worse socio-demographic conditions had worse oral health conditions. It is expected that oral health programs targeted to this population could be established with the goal of improving the oral health conditions of this population and hence the maintenance of the teeth for a longer period in function.

This study examines the association between nighttime sleep characteristics and cortisol levels and how these variables relate to aspects of children's temperament and behavior. Twenty-seven healthy children, aged 12-36 months, attending group childcare settings, participated in the study. Each child's sleep was measured at home with actigraphy over three nights. Saliva samples were collected by the mothers at bedtime and within 30 min of awakening. In addition, both the mother and the daycare teacher rated the child's behavioral difficulties and negative emotionality. It was found that children with more fragmented sleep ...

Lost in translation: barriers to learning in health professional clinical educationEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The perennial debate concerning the so-called 'theory-practice gap' pervades health professional education. It is uncertain whether this gap [ndash] the notion that knowledge gained in university does not translate well into the workplace [ndash] is unavoidable or if it is a manifestation of the learning approaches used and the cultures operative in the two locations. This paper examines how nursing students' knowledge and skills gained within university clinical laboratories transfer into the reality of the clinical environment. A series of one-on-one interviews were conducted over a two year period with second and third ...

The authors tested the hypothesized unidirectional or bidirectional effects of 5 types of teachers’ work-related stressors on each of the 4 types of psychological strain: somatic complaints, burnout, and intrinsic and extrinsic job dissatisfaction. The authors used structural regression analyses to analyze the responses of a representative sample of 404 high school teachers who had completed both our T1 (beginning of school year) and T2 (end of school year) questionnaires. The authors found support for the expected unidirectional effects of the T1 work-related stressors on the respondents’ T2 somatic complaints (with b...

Associations between physical activity, fitness, and academic achievementEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The role for physical activity and fitness in the school setting has been controversial. With increasing pressure for children and adolescents to perform better in school, administrators and teachers have often responded by increasing classroom time. Because the time available is finite, this has often resulted in less time spent on physical activity. The reduction in physical education and other activities in school has been cited as one reason for the increasing prevalence of childhood obesity. Others have challenged the concept that more classroom time and less activity will lead to enhanced academic performance. (Sourc...
