In this exploratory study, we measured attachment (as an index of chronic interpersonal stress) and schizotypal tendencies in 273 young adults. Of these participants, 57 also completed an adaptive-rate Continuous Performance Test, which measured ability to sustain attention (as an index of neurocognitive functioning). Psychometric properties of our measures and the relationships between attachment, attention, and schizotypy were then examined. Our analyses confirmed the usefulness of the classical trichotomous division of attachment into secure, avoidant, and anxious-ambivalent styles, as well as the presence of two dimensions of schizotypy underlying positive and negative (anhedonic) symptomatology. Four findings are central to our investigation. First, secure attachment was associated with low positive and low negative schizotypy; anxious attachment was associated with positive schizotypy, and avoidant attachment was associated with both positive and negative schizotypy. Second, when both negative and positive schizotypy were heightened, attentional performance was lowered. Third, no relationship between attachment and attention emerged. Fourth, attentional performance and attachment interacted to predict negative schizotypy, such that the presence of either good attentional performance or good attachment processes buffered individuals from anhedonia. Although methodological limitations qualify our findings, we suggest that, consistent with the diathesis-stress model of schizophrenia, future exploration of interactions between interpersonal and neurocognitive measures may provide important leads in both developmental psychopathology and normative development.}, Doi = {10.1521/jscp.1996.15.2.231}, Key = {fds251649} } @article{fds251604, Author = {Costanzo, PR and Coie, JD and Grumet, JF and Farnill, D}, Title = {A reexamination of the effects of intent and consequence on children's moral judgments.}, Journal = {Child development}, Volume = {44}, Number = {1}, Pages = {154-161}, Year = {1973}, Month = {March}, ISSN = {0009-3920}, url = {http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/4706063}, Doi = {10.1111/j.1467-8624.1973.tb02127.x}, Key = {fds251604} } @article{fds251601, Author = {Cox, G and Costanzo, PR and Coie, JD}, Title = {A survey instrument for the assessment of popular conceptions of mental illness.}, Journal = {Journal of consulting and clinical psychology}, Volume = {44}, Number = {6}, Pages = {901-909}, Year = {1976}, Month = {December}, ISSN = {0022-006X}, url = {http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/993428}, Doi = {10.1037//0022-006x.44.6.901}, Key = {fds251601} } @article{fds251629, Author = {Peairs, KF and Eichen, D and Putallaz, M and Costanzo, PR and Grimes, CL}, Title = {Academic Giftedness and Alcohol Use in Early Adolescence.}, Journal = {The gifted child quarterly}, Volume = {55}, Number = {2}, Pages = {95-110}, Year = {2011}, Month = {April}, ISSN = {0016-9862}, url = {http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21949444}, Abstract = {Adolescence is a period of development particularly vulnerable to the effects of alcohol use, with recent studies underscoring alcohol's effects on adolescent brain development. Despite the alarming rates and consequences of adolescent alcohol use, gifted adolescents are often overlooked as being at risk for early alcohol use. Although gifted adolescents may possess protective factors that likely inhibit the use of alcohol, some gifted youth may be vulnerable to initiating alcohol use during adolescence as experimenting with alcohol may be one way gifted youth choose to compensate for the social price (whether real or perceived) of their academic talents. To address the dearth of research on alcohol use among gifted adolescents the current study (a) examined the extent to which gifted adolescents use alcohol relative to their nongifted peers and (b) examined the adjustment profile of gifted adolescents who had tried alcohol relative to nongifted adolescents who tried alcohol as well as gifted and nongifted abstainers. More than 300 students in seventh grade (42.5% gifted) participated in the present study. Results indicated gifted students have, in fact, tried alcohol at rates that do not differ from nongifted students. Although trying alcohol was generally associated with negative adjustment, giftedness served as a moderating factor such that gifted students who had tried alcohol were less at risk than their nongifted peers. However, evidence also suggests that gifted adolescents who tried alcohol may be a part of a peer context that promotes substance use, which may place these youth at risk for adjustment difficulties in the future.}, Doi = {10.1177/0016986210392220}, Key = {fds251629} } @article{fds251656, Author = {P.R.

The study sample included individuals ages 51-61 in 1992 who survived the sample period (1992-2006) and had at least five interviews with alcohol consumption information, yielding an analysis sample of 6,787 (3,760 women). We employed linear regression to determine drinking trajectories over 1992-2006. Based on these findings, each sample person was classified into one of five drinking categories. We used multinomial logit analysis to assess the relationship between personal demographic, income, health, and attitudinal characteristics as well as life events and drinking-trajectory category.<h4>Results</h4>Overall, alcohol consumption declined. However, rates of decline differed appreciably among sample persons, and for a minority, alcohol consumption increased. Persons with increasing consumption over time were more likely to be affluent (relative-risk ratio [RRR] = 1.09, 95% CI [1.05, 1.12]), highly educated (RRR = 1.20, 95% CI [1.09, 1.31]), male, White (RRR = 3.54, 95% CI [1.01, 12.39]), unmarried, less religious, and in excellent to good health. A history of problem drinking before baseline was associated with increases in alcohol use, whereas the reverse was true for persons with histories of few or no drinking problems.<h4>Conclusions</h4>There are substantial differences in drinking trajectories at the individual level in midlife and late life. A problem-drinking history is predictive of alcohol consumption patterns in later life.}, Doi = {10.15288/jsad.2010.71.169}, Key = {fds251626} } @article{fds251663, Author = {P.R.

Conformity score was computed as the frequency with which the selected Ss conformed to the erroneous line judgments of a simulated peer majority in the R. S. Crutchfield (see 30:2) situation. Findings suggest that self-blame and conformity are highly interrelated processes. Conformity was also found to be related to a self-blame minus other-blame score.

In particular, consideration is given to the changing nature of the expression of conscientiousness over the life course and the importance of the causally linked chain of developmental events associated with the sustenance of this trait from early childhood to later life. Methodological as well as conceptual issues are part of the common thematic analysis provided. In addition, several more or less neglected issues are addressed in the commentary. These include an examination of the potential roles of self-presentation social context and social aggregation in the developmentally emergent conscientiousness-well-being relationship. Further, the potential downside of the moral tinge of the conscientiousness construct is considered, as is the cultural variation in the benefits of conscientiousness to well-being. Finally, the applied significance of research on the conscientiousness-well-being link to health promotion over the life course is addressed. The commentary concludes with reflections on the transformation of 1970s trait-like conceptions as unbending tautological predictors of behavior into the situationally and developmentally nuanced conceptions of conscientiousness provided in these collected articles.}, Doi = {10.1037/a0036024}, Key = {fds322493} } @article{fds251609, Author = {Alexander, IE and Costanzo, PR}, Title = {Death anxiety, dissent, and competence.}, Journal = {Journal of personality}, Volume = {47}, Number = {4}, Pages = {734-751}, Year = {1979}, Month = {December}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-6494.1979.tb00218.x}, Abstract = {A total of 64 male undergraduates were administered a multistage interview which was structured to assess (a) their level of overtly expressed death anxiety, (b) covert (GSR) arousal to death stimuli (c) self-perceived competence, and (d) agreement with or dissent from life threatening national policies. The analyses that followed were concerned with examining the relationships among these variables. In previous studies of this kind it had been typically found that (1) self-perceived competence and magnitude of expressed death concern are inversely related and (2) overt expressions of death concern and covert physiological arousal to death cues are inversely related. Psychodynamic formulations centering on the ego-defensive nature of inhibited expressions of death anxiety have been cited to explain these past data. The current investigation proposed that the magnitude of expressed death concern would bear an inverse relationship to both felt competence and covert death arousal only when the level of overt concern was not contingent upon the individual's attitudes concerning the imminence of real life threatening circumstances in the environment. The rationale behind these predictions inheres in the notion that the neurotic components of strongly expressed death anxiety derive from its lack of anchoring in "real" external threats. Conversely, the expression of low death fear can only be regarded as "defensive" when real threats are perceived and acknowledged. The obtained results strongly support this rationale and the discussion centers on the impact of social conditions on psychodynamic processes.}, Doi = {10.1111/j.1467-6494.1979.tb00218.x}, Key = {fds251609} } @article{fds251617, Author = {Woody, EZ and Costanzo, PR}, Title = {Does marital agony precede marital ecstasy?

In addition, all Ss were faced with a successful other. Ss were asked to make causal attributions to both themselves and to the other. Consistent with previous research, Ss who failed assigned causality for their performance to external factors. They also viewed themselves as less motivated and the task as less important than successful Ss.

The current study seeks to enhance this understanding by examining both preference- and reputation-based peer status of gifted adolescents. Peer nominations were used to assess the peer status, aggression, victimization, and prosocial leadership of 327 public school seventh graders (44% male; 42% White). School records provided giftedness information, course grade, and standardized test scores, and substance use was self-reported. Gifted students were viewed as less aggressive and more prosocial and had higher academic achievement than nonidentified students. Giftedness moderated the peer status–adjustment relationship. Rejection related to higher victimization and test scores, but these associations were most exaggerated for gifted students.

A mixture model was used to identify psychosocial classes that explain how race-specific differences in the relationship between drinking in early adulthood and occupational outcomes in mid-life operate. Data came from Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults, a longitudinal epidemiologic study.<h4>Results</h4>Especially for Blacks, heavy drinking in early adulthood was associated with a lower probability of being employed in mid-life. Among employed persons, there was a link between heavy drinking for both Whites and Blacks and decreased occupational attainment at mid-life. We grouped individuals into three distinct distress classes based on external stressors and indicators of internally generated stress. Blacks were more likely to belong to the higher distressed classes as were heavy drinkers in early adulthood. Stratifying the data by distress class, relationships between heavy drinking, race and heavy drinking-race interactions were overall weaker than in the pooled analysis.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Disproportionate intensification of life stresses in Blacks renders them more vulnerable to long-term effects of heavy drinking.}, Doi = {10.1136/jech.2009.102228}, Key = {fds251628} } @article{fds251619, Author = {Pollak, KI and Arredondo, EM and Yarnall, KS and Lipkus, I and Myers, E and McNeilly, M and Costanzo, P}, Title = {How do residents prioritize smoking cessation for young "high-risk" women?

METHODS: One hundred residents completed a survey about preventive health issues for a woman in her 20s "who leads a high-risk lifestyle." Residents indicated which topics they would address, and the likelihood that they would address each of 12 relevant preventive health topics, their outcome expectancies that the patient would follow their advice on each topic, their confidence that they could address the topic, and perceived barriers for addressing the topic. RESULTS: Residents listed STD prevention most frequently. Drug use and smoking cessation were second and third most frequently listed. Residents who believed that the patient would follow their advice were more likely to list smoking cessation than residents who had lower outcome expectancies for that patient. Higher barriers were negatively related to addressing smoking cessation. CONCLUSIONS: When time is not a barrier, residents are likely to address smoking cessation. Teaching residents how to incorporate this subject into their clinical practice is needed.

This study assessed the relationship between parenting styles and changes in body mass index (BMI) from adolescence to young adulthood. METHOD: The study included self-reported data from adolescents in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Factor mixture modeling, a data-driven approach, was used to classify participants into parenting style groups based on measures of acceptance and control. Latent growth modeling (LGM) identified patterns of developmental changes in BMI. After a number of potential confounders were controlled for, parenting style variables were entered as predictors of BMI trajectories. Analyses were also conducted for male and female individuals of 3 racial-ethnic groups (Hispanic, black, white) to assess whether parenting styles were differentially associated with BMI trajectories in these 6 groups. RESULTS: Parenting styles were classified into 4 groups: authoritarian, disengaged, permissive, and balanced. Compared with the balanced parenting style, authoritarian and disengaged parenting styles were associated with a less steep average BMI increase (linear slope) over time, but also less leveling off (quadratic) of BMI over time. Differences in BMI trajectories were observed for various genders and races, but the differences did not reach statistical significance. CONCLUSION: Adolescents who reported having parents with authoritarian or disengaged parenting styles had greater increases in BMI as they transitioned to young adulthood despite having a lower BMI trajectory through adolescence.}, Doi = {10.1037/a0027927}, Key = {fds251632} } @article{fds340256, Author = {Halberstadt, AG and Langley, HA and Hussong, AM and Rothenberg, WA and Coffman, JL and Mokrova, I and Costanzo, PR}, Title = {Parents' understanding of gratitude in children: A thematic analysis}, Journal = {Early Childhood Research Quarterly}, Volume = {36}, Pages = {439-451}, Publisher = {Elsevier BV}, Year = {2016}, Month = {March}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ecresq.2016.01.014}, Abstract = {Current definitions of gratitude are based primarily on research with adults about their own experiences of gratitude, yet what children are grateful for, and how they understand, experience, and express gratitude may be very different.

Parents had at least one child who was 6-years old. Sessions were conducted in the children's schools and lasted for one hour. Transcripts were examined using inductive analysis and three types of saturation were achieved. Parents described children as grateful for both tangible and intangible gifts, and identified multiple cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects of gratitude in their children. Gratitude was understood to be a momentary experience, a more enduring feeling, and a way of being, suggesting a more continuous perspective regarding the duration of gratitude. Parents identified four cognitive and emotional barriers that are effectively opposites of gratitude. Parents also recognized that gratitude develops in children over time.

METHOD: Using a PTS self-report measure plus self- and teacher reports of comorbid symptoms the authors surveyed 1,019 fourth- to ninth-grade students in the community where the fire occurred. RESULTS: Three factors comprising PTS were identified: reexperiencing, avoidance and hyperarousal. Reexperiencing and avoidance were positively correlated; hyperarousal proved weakly correlated with reexperiencing, perhaps because exposure was largely indirect. Using a T score cutoff of 65 on the reexperiencing factor as indicative of PTS 9.7% of subjects met criteria for PTS; 11.9% met criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) using DSM-III-R PTSD criteria. Degree of exposure was the most powerful predictor of PTS. Race (African-American) and gender (female) posed significant risk factors for PTS. Self-reported internalizing symptoms and teacher-reported externalizing symptoms were positively predicted by intercurrent PTS, and independently of PTS, by degree of exposure. Comorbid symptoms showed interesting interactions with exposure, race, and gender. Lack of self-attributed personal efficacy predicted PTS but did not moderate the effects of race or gender on PTS risk. CONCLUSIONS: This study, which used a population-based sampling strategy, strengthens and extends findings from earlier literature on pediatric PTSD in showing that (1) PTS and comorbid internalizing and externalizing symptoms rise in direct proportion to degree of exposure; (2) gender and race show variable effects on risk for PTS and comorbid symptoms; and (3) comorbid symptoms are positively correlated with PTS and may represent primary outcomes of traumatic exposure in their own right.}, Doi = {10.1097/00004583-199708000-00015}, Key = {fds251631} } @article{fds251653, Author = {Arredondo, EM and Pollak, KI and Costanzo, P and McNeilly, M and Myers, E}, Title = {Primary care residents' characteristics and motives for providing differential medical treatment of cervical cancer screening}, Journal = {Journal of the National Medical Association}, Volume = {95}, Number = {7}, Pages = {577-584}, Year = {2003}, Month = {July}, Abstract = {Background: Cervical cancer screening rates in the United States are sub-optimal.

Results: Among the provider characteristics assessed, only residents' ethnicity was associated with the likelihood of and time spent addressing cervical cancer screening. In particular, Asian-American residents were least likely to address cervical cancer, while African-American residents were most likely. A mediation analyses revealed that perceived barriers for addressing cervical cancer accounted for this difference.

The purpose of this study was to assess whether individual differences in the adolescents' goal orientation are associated with elevated or attenuated risk for substance use. Regulatory focus theory stipulates that individuals vary in their strength of orientation toward promotion goals ("making good things happen") and prevention goals ("keeping bad things from happening"). Objectives: We sought to examine the association between individual differences in regulatory focus and adolescents' reports of their own and their friends' substance use. Methods: Participants were 241 seventh grade students who completed measures of regulatory focus (promotion and prevention orientation), self-reported substance use, perceived substance use habits of peers, and demographics. Logistic regression models were used to examine adjusted odds of lifetime tobacco use, alcohol use, and marijuana use for both participants' own use and their reports of friends' use. Results: Prevention orientation was associated with lower odds of all self-reported lifetime substance use outcomes (tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana). Prevention orientation was also associated with lower odds of reporting all types of substance use among friends. Promotion orientation was not associated with any self-reported substance use outcome, and was only associated with higher odds of reporting lifetime alcohol use among friends. Conclusions: These findings underscore the importance of regulatory focus as it relates to adolescent substance use.

While concurrent individual and context factors are robustly associated with adolescent alcohol use, the influence of early childhood factors, particularly in interaction with child sex, are less clear. Using a prospective community sample of 362 (190 girls), this study investigated sex differences in the joint influence of distal childhood and proximal adolescent factors on Grade 10 alcohol use. All risk factors and two-way early individual-by-context interactions, and interactions of each of these with child sex, were entered into the initial regression. Significant sex interactions prompted the use of separate models for girls and boys. In addition to the identification of early (family socioeconomic status, authoritative parenting style) and proximal adolescent (mental health symptoms, deviant friends) risk factors for both girls and boys, results highlighted important sex differences. In particular, girls with higher alcohol consumption at Grade 10 were distinguished by the interaction of early temperamental disinhibition and exposure to parental stress; boys with higher alcohol consumption at Grade 10 were distinguished primarily by early temperamental negative affect.

While a range of studies have demonstrated the plausibility of this hypothesis in the case of sensory stimuli (e.g., taste cues), there is little evidence that the hypothesis applies to social stimuli. The current study examines this latter proposition by exposing male and female, overweight and normal weight subjects to a same-sex or opposite-sex peer model. Under the guise of engaging in a taste experiment, the subjects were either exposed to a model who tasted no crackers (no eat), one cracker (low eat), or twenty crackers (high eat). In addition, control model-absent conditions were also run for purposes of establishing baseline eating rates. If the externality hypotheses were to prevail in social domains, one would expect overweight subjects to be more prone to model the cracker-eating behavior of the peer than normal weight individuals. However, the findings indicate that all subject groups regardless of weight evidence a rather clear modeling effect and all subjects evidence social inhibition effects on their eating behavior as well. Several intriguing interactions among subject sex, model sex, subject weight, and social condition were also found. The discussion explores the relevance of an externality model of overweight eating in social domains, and focuses upon the interesting and somewhat distinct pattern of socially mediated eating exhibited by overweight females.}, Doi = {10.1111/j.1467-6494.1980.tb00832.x}, Key = {fds251611} } @article{fds251607, Author = {Costanzo, PR and Grumet, JF and Brehm, SS}, Title = {The effects of choice and source of constraint on children's attributions of preference}, Journal = {Journal of Experimental Social Psychology}, Volume = {10}, Number = {4}, Pages = {352-364}, Publisher = {Elsevier BV}, Year = {1974}, Month = {January}, ISSN = {0022-1031}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0022-1031(74)90031-6}, Abstract = {One hundred and twenty female children (40 each from the first, third, and sixth grades) were presented with videotaped presentations of a female child choosing between two toys.

Additionally, the source of the actor's freedom or constraint was represented as either adult mediated or environmentally mediated. All subjects rated the actor's liking for each of the toys, how much the actor wanted to play with each toy, and which toy the actor would choose to take home with her. The two major findings which emerged were: (1) Contrary to prediction, children of all three age levels tended to use cues reflecting both the actor's choice and the actor's behavior in inferring her liking for each of the toys. (2) As predicted, the degree to which observers' attributions of toy liking corresponded to inferred attitude of the adult (who either approved or prohibited the actor's choice) was an inverse function of age.

RESULTS: Regression results revealed that while men and women share some common predictors of binge eating severity, there are also some gender-specific correlates. Men in our sample were prone to binge eat because of negative emotions (i.e., depression and anger), while binge eating severity for women in our sample was most strongly related to diet failure and tests of moderate eating.

Further, children with at least one other-gender sibling (e.g., a girl with an older brother) played more frequently with counterstereotypical toys compared with children with only same-gender siblings (e.g., a girl with only older sisters). Results on the relation between siblings and gender appearance were mixed. Older siblings may thus influence early trajectories of important gender domains (e.g., toy play), which can have various long-term implications for developing skills and interests.

My mother said that she would scold Unless I wrote to say How much I like them. Not much. -Judith Viorst The desire to cultivate gratitude in ourselves and others dates back centuries, as is evident in the early writings of Aristotle on virtues (Thomson, 1955), although our understanding of what gratitude means continues to evolve through ongoing scholarly debate and societal discourse (Kapp, 2013; Reiser, 2014). One of the voices in this debate comes from social psychologists affiliated with the Positive Psychology movement who spearheaded research that has shaped our understanding of gratitude in adults. These researchers differentially adopt the view of gratitude as a life orientation (Wood, Froh, & Geraghty, 2010); a character, virtue, or personality trait (Froh, Sefick, & Emmons, 2008); and a mood or emotional state (McCullough, Emmons, & Tsang, 2002). Research based on this view shows that adults and adolescents who more strongly endorse gratitude traits also report greater life satisfaction, better health outcomes, and more successful relationships (see Algoe, Haidt, & Gable, 2008; Bausert et al., Chapter 7, this volume; Emmons & McCullough, 2003; Froh, Kashdan, Ozimkowski, & Miller, 2009; Wood et al., 2010). Similar research with children has lagged behind that with adults, although this volume is one of a handful of recent works demonstrating growing interest in this topic. As with other areas of research, the psychological study of gratitude has largely followed a downward extension model with the goal of uncovering how early in childhood scientists can replicate findings from adult samples. This approach to understanding gratitude in children aligns with that from the classic descriptive focus of developmental psychology that seeks to identify at what ages a given competency emerges. More recent approaches to understanding development, such as the developmental science framework (Cairns & Elder, 2001), eschew age difference findings as an end goal in favor of understanding how a given competency emerges over ontogeny and what form it takes within the system of influences from which that competency might arise. To meet this aim, a developmental science approach must squarely tackle the issues of what gratitude is at its core, how it changes with ontogeny, and how we best capture its elements as they emerge first in a nascent and then in a mature form.}, Doi = {10.1017/9781316863121.010}, Key = {fds335643} } @misc{fds251598, Author = {Costanzo, PR and Hoyle, RH and Leary, MR}, Title = {Personality, Social Psychology, and Psychopathology: Reflections on a Lewinian Vision}, Booktitle = {The Oxford Handbook of Personality and Social Psychology}, Publisher = {Oxford University Press}, Year = {2012}, Month = {September}, ISBN = {9780195398991}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780195398991.013.0023}, Abstract = {In this chapter, we first consider the historical and conceptual roots of the tripartite, but at times rocky, marriage of the fields of personality, social, and abnormal psychology.

Indeed, we argue that with the advent of current cross-cutting developments in cognitive, socioemotional, and biological perspectives in the broader domain of the behavioral sciences, that the time is ripe for rearranging the marriage among these fields. In order to provide a conceptual frame for such a conjunctive effort, we return to Lewinian field theory and its definition of forces of locomotion in the life space as a particularly notable way to put the examination of normal and abnormal psychology in the same theoretical space. By addressing some critical ideational themes in the domains of personality and social psychology, we attempt to illustrate the overlap of these themes with the ideas and questions of scholars of abnormal behavior. Of course, in deploying a Lewinian model our analyses turn to the dynamics of person x environment interactions in the regions of the life space. In doing so we define the phenomena of meaning-making and the multiple "worldview" existential models in social and personality psychology as the forces constituting the primary dynamics defining the permeability of adaptive regions of the "life space" or phenomenal field. We illustrate these dynamics by detailed consideration of human adaptation in two critical regions or domains of life experience in the behavioral field: the domain of regulatory transactions and the domain of acceptance, social affection, and relationships. While these domains certainly do not exhaust all regions of the life space, we argue that they are particularly pertinent for parsing continua of normal-to-abnormal adaptation and conjoining the nature of psychopathology with the everyday struggles of personal and social significance to all humans. We conclude our analysis by rather unabashed advocacy, not specifically for the model we explore, but for scholarship that is aimed at developing models that link the normal to what we refer to as the abnormal or psychopathological. As humans, the cloths of our selves and our environments are made from common as well as individually unique fibers. We conclude that to disambiguate how such fibers are woven together to frame the forces driving our travels from blissful adaptation to painful maladjustment should be a primary agenda for our interconnected sciences of human behavior.}, Doi = {10.1093/oxfordhb/9780195398991.013.0023}, Key = {fds251598} } @misc{fds171467, Author = {Strauman, T. and Costanzo, P. and Merril, K. and Jones, N.}, Title = {The Applications of Social Psychology to Clinical Psychology}, Booktitle = {Social Psychology: A Handbook of Basic Principles}, Publisher = {Guilford Press}, Address = {New York}, Editor = {E.T.
