A Day In The Life Of A Male College Athlete: A Public Perception And Qualitative Campus Investigation, Keith Harrison

Dr. C. Keith Harrison

Perceptual confirmation paradigm (PCP) rooted in social psychology, can be implemented to frame sport science research questions (Stone, Perry, & Darley, 1997). Public perception of college athletes’ lives has been scarcely investigated in the sport sciences (Keels, 2005) using the PCP to prime stereotypes. The purpose of this study was to prime stereotypes about a day in the life of a college athlete by using qualitative inquiry to assess college students’ (N = 87) perceptions.

In 2007, Lamb, Orbach, Hershkowitz, Esplin, and Horowitz published in Child Abuse & Neglect a review of empirical research on the National Institute of Child Health and Development (NICHD) Investigative Interview Protocol in which they provided extensive research supporting the conclusion that the NICHD Protocol “comprises a useful and usable set of guidelines that allow trained interviewers to conduct investigative interviews that hew more closely than they otherwise would to universally endorsed professional guidelines” (p. 1212).

This study examined maltreated and non-maltreated children’s (N = 183) emerging understanding of ‘‘truth’’ and ‘‘lie,’’ terms about which they are quizzed to qualify as competent to testify. Four- to six-year-old children were asked to accept or reject true and false (T/F) statements, label T/F statements as the ‘‘truth’’ or ‘‘a lie,’’ label T/F statements as ‘‘good’’ or ‘‘bad,’’ and label ‘‘truth’’ and ‘‘lie’’ as ‘‘good’’ or ‘‘bad.’’ The youngest children were at ceiling in accepting/rejecting T/F statements.

"Publicidad E Información Sobre Los Medicamentos: Dos Conceptos Difíciles De Delimitar En El Ámbito Del Derecho Comunitario", Luis González Vaqué

Luis González Vaqué

La interpretación del artículo 86 de la Directiva 2001/83/CE en el sentido de que el criterio crucial para separar la publicidad de la simple información radica en el propósito perseguido, nos parece acertada: «si se quiere fomentar ‘la prescripción, la dispensación, la venta o el consumo’ de fármacos, habrá publicidad según la Directiva [2001/83/CE]; por el contrario, si se transmite un dato informativo ‘puro’, sin afán promocional, quedará exento de las reglas comunitarias sobre publicidad de medicamentos».
