The Relationship with the Criminal Justice System There is a correlation between ASPD and criminal behavior (Aggarwal, 2013). Although it is rare in the population, it is considered very common in the criminal justice system (Moran, 1999). As a result, the system offers to aid in administrating treatment to the patients. The types of treatment that the system has are domestic violence groups, boot camps, therapeutic communities, mental health courts, and substance abuse programs. A mental…

In a 2011 study titled “The Health Action Process Approach as a Motivational Model for Physical Activity Self-Management for People With Multiple Sclerosis” by Chung-Yi Chui, et al (2011) HAPA was tested as a motivational model for physical activity self-management for people with multiple sclerosis (MS). There were 195 participants who were found through a university teaching hospital in the Midwest, and through the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. There were several instruments used in…

Introduction In the past, considerable emphasis has been placed on Intellectual Ability as the predictor for Academic Achievement (Chamorro-Premuzic & Furnham, 2003), as such there can be found an extensive collection of research studies that document intelligence as the dominant predictor for cognitive performance (Busato et al., 2000). These conclusions often base upon the idea that intelligence defines the capacity of an individual to incorporate knowledge and skill to the solving of a given…

intracellular to extracellular potassium concentrations is the main determinant of membrane potential. However, because the Nernst function does not adjust for membrane permeability to other (e.g., sodium and chlorine) ions, the GHK seems to be the better predictor of membrane potential. Replications of the present study, then, should employ a one-sample t-test that compares mean observed membrane voltages to EM values as predicted by the GHK equation. The resulting curve fit in Figure 1 would…

(Matters). The level of these different molecules in the body is tested because they are known to elevate the risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, the level of cholesterol in the body shouldn’t be lowered at all costs because it is not a good predictor of the risk of cardiovascular diseases and the drugs prescribed to lower its level are harmful for the…

(2013) indicated that cultural beliefs and attitude among Vietnamese Americans were significantly predictors to the cervical cancer-screening rate. The study of Ma et al. (2013) showed that 41% of Vietnamese Americans felt uncomfortable with being tested by a stranger or by male physicians, 35% of Vietnamese American women believed the cervical screening…

In some organizations, seniority is an important factor and often used as a predictor of performance. However, using seniority is not a valid predictor, nor is it ethical to use in consideration of a promotion. Seniority typically refers to length of service or tenure with the organization, department, or job, meaning that seniority is measured by the length of continuous employment (Heneman, Judge, & Kammeyer-Mueller, 2015). Some organizations may feel that the longer an employee has worked for…

Table 3 presented the happiness and resilience according to respondents’ profile variables: age, sex, college year level, parent’s income, and times of visiting home. The first variable, age, student’s age ranges from 16 to 23 years old. The results showed that happiness according to age is significant while resilience is not significant to the present study. The happiness’ highest mean is 4.2537 which were students ranging from 22-23 years old. It resulted that older people have been found…

identical DNA structure. "Ultimately, nature or biological factors tend to have an impact on behavior, often far more than the nurturing or environmental factors" (Schram, Tibbetts, 2014, p.132) The text also describes that studies have shown the best predictor to family members becoming or not becoming criminals is the mother's past criminality. Can you think of…
