Wayne State University Dissertations
In this sample of 144 children with a history of prior orphanage experience, increasing duration of institutionalization is related to decreasing performance for a number of cognitive domains, most consistently verbal measures and executive Functioning measures.

The strongest relationships with duration were observed for language measures followed …

Wayne State University Dissertations
Empirical evidence exists showing a correlation between social support and health behaviors. However, does social support act the same across several health behaviors?

The participants were 2,821 adults over the age of 40 from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2005-2006, NHANES III).

The findings also suggest that educational attainment was the …
