Vigilance is characterized by an approach to and an intensified processing of threat-relevant information. Its general purpose is to gain control over the main threat-related aspects of a situation, thereby protecting the individual from the perception of threat which would result from the confrontation with unexpected dangers. Cognitive avoidance is viewed as a withdrawal from threat-relevant information. Its general purpose is to reduce the arousal engendered by the confrontation with an aversive event. Both terms are employed to describe actual stress-related actions and cognitive operations as well as interindividual differences in the dispositional inclination toward a certain class of strategies. The second section introduces an instrument for the separate assessment of vigilant and avoidant coping. Finally, a study which demonstrates the predictive power of this instrument is reported. This study analyzes the influence of dispositional and actual vigilant and avoidant coping strategies on self-reported and biochemical stress indicators as evidenced by patients facing a surgical operation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100041,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Behaviour Research and Therapy","volume":"11 4","pages":"Pages 235-248"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0146-6402(89)90027-1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89846236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, the behavior of drug dependence is very complex, since multiple drug use is normative for psychoactive drugs. Compared to clients in alcohol and tobacco studies, those in studies of drug dependence are more heterogeneous in their drug use. It is recommended that research priority be given to the identification of homogeneous subsets of the drug user population, including users of alcohol and tobacco. Several methods of measuring drug use have been advocated, but all have limitations, and little is known about their impact on the interpretation of treatment outcome. Recently the quality of designs in this area of research has improved, but avoidance of randomized trials continues to retard the acquisition of knowledge about the relative effectiveness of treatment procedures. Variability in the duration of follow-ups also impedes interpretation of findings; a minimum of six months post treatment is recommended. It is concluded that measures of drug use should be the principal outcome in evaluations of treatment effectiveness, that the role of therapist variables deserves research attention, and that criteria be developed for the interpretation of nonabstinent outcomes, which are the norm of clients treated for drug dependence.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100041,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Behaviour Research and Therapy","volume":"11 3","pages":"Pages 133-150"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0146-6402(89)90018-0","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89860989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We identified three kinds of self-regulatory process. The first occurs automatically and unconsciously in order to maintain the homeostasis of a person's physiological functions; the other two are under the person's cognitive and voluntary control. Redressive self-control is aimed at resuming normal functions that have been disrupted; reformative self-control is directed at breaking habits in order to adopt new and more effective behaviors. Coping with acute stress requires redressive self-control; the adoption of new behaviors such as health related behaviors requires reformative self-control. Learned resourcefulness refers to the behavioral repertoire necessary for both redressive self-control and reformative self-control. This repertoire includes self-regulating one's emotional and cognitive responses during stressful situations, using problem-solving skills, and delaying immediate gratification for the sake of more meaningful rewards in the future. Research findings indicate that highly resourceful individuals cope more effectively with stressful situations and are more capable of adopting health related behaviors as well as other behaviors that require reformative self-control.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100041,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Behaviour Research and Therapy","volume":"11 4","pages":"Pages 249-258"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0146-6402(89)90028-3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86501344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the present study, it was argued that the suitability and/or validity of the Bouton et al. Fear of AIDS Scale should be seriously questioned on conceptual and psychometric grounds. In addition, there are no published studies in which the dimensionality of AIDS fear has been examined. The present investigation was carried out to examine whether fear of AIDS can be shown to emerge as a consistent fear composite in factor analysis of specific AIDS-related fears and whether it can be distinguished from Blood/Injury fears, the latter of which has been established as a complex which possesses both cross-sample and cross-national invariance qualities. The dimensional structure of a 38-item Fear of AIDS Schedule (the acronym FAIDSS being used for describing it) was explored with a sample of 684 American students. Principal components analysis with VARIMAX rotation revealed two separate but related, internally consistent and replicable dimensions of AIDS fear: (I) <em>Fear of AIDS contraction associated with risky sexual behavior, and the fear of the psychological and somatic consequences of having caught the disease</em>, and (II) <em>Fear of exposure to the AIDS virus and other associated viruses through (a) interpersonal, not necessarily sexual, contact with members of risk groups and (b) the subjection to medical procedures</em>. Both components were shown to be invariant across sex. Further analyses pointed to the possibility of using a <em>general (i.e. overall) measure of AIDS fear</em> next to the factorially-derived <em>subs</em>cales. On the basis of the patterns of correlations of the fear of AIDS constructs with the conventional Fear Survey Schedule-III and background factors such as sex, age, ethnicity/race, students' major in college and religious preference, it was concluded that, if unjustified overgeneralizations or misleading undergeneralizations are to be avoided, the researcher/clinician should use both the <em>sub</em>scales and the general scale conjointly. Evidence in favor of discriminant validity of the fear of AIDS constructs in relation to Blood/Injury fears was obtained. Some implications and recommendations for further study were given.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100041,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Behaviour Research and Therapy","volume":"11 2","pages":"Pages 69-115"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0146-6402(89)90015-5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80096038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
