Psychometric Properties Of Carver And White’S (1994) Bis/Bas Scales In A Large Sample Of Offenders, Norman Poythress, Jennifer Skeem, John Weir, Scott Lilienfeld Dec 2015

Psychometric Properties Of Carver And White’S (1994) Bis/Bas Scales In A Large Sample Of Offenders, Norman Poythress, Jennifer Skeem, John Weir, Scott Lilienfeld

Norman Poythress

Contemporary motivational theories of psychopathy (Lykken, 1995) employ constructs from Gray’s Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (RST; Gray, 1982), behavioral inhibition system (BIS) and behavioral activation system (BAS) functioning, to explain etiologic differences in psychopathy subtypes. Carver and White’s (1994) BIS/BAS scales are the most widely used measures of these constructs, yet there is a dearth of research on how these measures perform with offenders. Using a sample of 1515 offenders, we found evidence that five, rather than the usual four factors, underpin the BIS/BAS scales. Importantly, BIS items that tap into anxiety and fear sensitivity, respectively, split to form separate factors, …

The Relationship Between Psychopathic Personality Features And Malingering Symptoms Of Major Mental Illness, Norman Poythress, John Edens, M. Watkins

Norman Poythress

This study examined the relationship between psychopathy and malingering in a subsample of male prison inmates (n D 55) participating in a larger study of the clinical utility of various assessment measures in correctional settings. Participants’ capacity to feign major mental illness successfully was evaluated using standard cutoff scores for the detection of malingering on a variety of instruments, including the Structured Inventory of Malingered Symptomatology (SIMS; G. P. Smith & G. O. Burger, 1997), the Structured Interview of Reported Symptoms (SIRS; R. Rogers, R. M. Bagby, & S. E. Dickens, 1992), and the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI; L. Morey, …

Changing The Public Drunkenness Laws: The Impact Of Decriminalization, David Aaronson, C. Dienes, Michael Musheno Dec 2015

Changing The Public Drunkenness Laws: The Impact Of Decriminalization, David Aaronson, C. Dienes, Michael Musheno

Michael Musheno

Laws that decriminalize public drunkenness continue to use the police as the major intake agent for public inebriates under the "new" public health model of detoxification and treatment. Assuming that decriminalization introduces many disincentives to police intervention using legally sanctioned procedures, we hypothesize that it will be followed by a statistically significant decline in the number of public inebriates formally handled by the police in the manner designated by the "law in the books." Using an "interrupted time-series quasi-experiment" based on a "stratified multiple-group single-I design," we confirm this hypothesis for Washington, D.C., and Minneapolis, Minnesota. However, through intensive "microanalysis" …

How Much Does Law Matter - Labor Law, Competition, And Waterfront Labor Relations In Rotterdam And U.S. Ports, Robert Kagan Dec 2015

How Much Does Law Matter - Labor Law, Competition, And Waterfront Labor Relations In Rotterdam And U.S. Ports, Robert Kagan

Robert Kagan

In both the Netherlands & the US, law has helped rationalize the hiring of port labor & provide dockworkers greater security. However, US longshoremen have captured a larger share of the productivity gains flowing from the mechanization of cargo handling than have Dutch dockworkers. At the same time, the constraints imposed by US longshore unions have made container terminals in the US less efficient & more costly to users, as compared to Rotterdam terminals. These differences can in part be explained by US labor law, which encourages a more adversarial, self-seeking union posture than does the labor law structure in …

Stability Of Psychiatric Patients' Perceptions Of Their Admission Experience, Michele Cascardi, Norman Poythress, Lee Ritterband Dec 2015

Stability Of Psychiatric Patients' Perceptions Of Their Admission Experience, Michele Cascardi, Norman Poythress, Lee Ritterband

Norman Poythress

The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the stability (i.e., consistency of patients’ responses over time) of newly developed scales to measure the admission experience of psychiatric hospitalization. Eighty-four psychiatric patients involuntarily committed to a crisis stabilization unit participated. All participants were admitted under an emergency petition or ex parte order for a psychiatric evaluation. Patients were interviewed soon after admission (M 5 3.33 days, SD 5 1.86 days). The test–retest interval was 24–48 hours with most (83.3%) re-evaluated at 24 hours. Overall, the measures showed acceptable levels of stability (r ’s range from .62 to .72). Factors …

Correlates Of Perceived Coercion During Psychiatric Hospital Admission, Michelle Cascardi, Norman Poythress Dec 2015

Correlates Of Perceived Coercion During Psychiatric Hospital Admission, Michelle Cascardi, Norman Poythress

Norman Poythress

The objectives of this study were to replicate the study of C. W. Lidz et al (see record 1996-15479-001); examine the differences in perceptions about hospital admission for voluntary and involuntary patients (16 yr olds and older), all of whom had been involuntarily detained initially for psychiatric evaluation; and examine the impact of community members vs hospital staff, locus of control, and psychiatric symptom severity on patients' perceptions of coercion. Results substantiate earlier findings of Lidz et al in that legal status (involuntary), procedural justice, and negative pressures are significantly related to perceived coercion. Although all patients in this study …
