A total of 219 management students completed three measures of AAD and a multi-dimensional measure of EQ (Bar-on EQI). Product moment correlations were used to examine the univariate associations between dimensions of EQ and AAD, and multiple regression examined the simultaneous multivariate relationship. Both the global measure of EQ and the all the sub-dimensions of EQ were significantly correlated with three established measures of AAD (College ADHD Response Evaluation, Brown AAD Scale and the DSM-V items used to identify inattention), except for non-significant univariate relationships between Brown-AAD and both empathy and social responsibility. Self-regard, self-actualization, reality-testing and stress-tolerance displayed the strongest univariate correlations, while self-actualization, reality-testing, happiness and stress tolerance remained significant when a composite score of the standardized scores from the 3 measures of AAD was simultaneously regressed on all the dimensions of EQ. Further research is required to confirm the directionality of the associations which will help to address the question of whether enhancing emotional competency will help reduce AAD symptoms and associated performance challenges.","PeriodicalId":93559,"journal":{"name":"Global journal of intellectual & developmental disabilities","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134972953","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}

The intelligent racket was used to objectively evaluate powerful forehand smash swing and forehand topspin movements. A 27 year-old TT player who competed in the international II championships was tested in the classification room by two international TT classifiers. The testing results in the classification sections including service, return service and basic skills were 26, 24, and 30, respectively. His score in this TT-specific test for II was 80 points out of 108 points. In addition, the average efficiency of forehand smash and topspin movements were 0.12 ± 0.02 and 0.03 ± 0.01. The decay of 27 swings in forehand smash and topspin was 19.29% and 10.25%, respectively. Offering the objective and extensive data may provide the useful evidence to confirm the abilities of this TT player with II. This case study clearly demonstrated that combination of classification testing data and swing tests evaluated by the intelligent racket was the useful approach to evaluate the abilities of TT players with II. More data collection and analysis for players with II is recommended to ensure the dual tests in classification for II in the future.","PeriodicalId":93559,"journal":{"name":"Global journal of intellectual & developmental disabilities","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135621040","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}

There is a strong empirical connection between childhood trauma and a range of self-regulation difficulties in adulthood. Adults with a history of childhood trauma generally suffer with self-regulation, including compulsive buying disorder, according to research. The objective of our research was to define compulsive buying disorder and shed light on its origins, link to other psychiatric diseases, and t2. he most effective treatment for it. Methods: A selective review of literature published between 2000 and 2022 on compulsive buying disorder. Results: We discovered a substantial link between early exposure to stressful experiences and the development of a compulsive shopping habit in adulthood. The disease of compulsive buying is very impulsive and can lead to out-of-control financial constraints. Compulsive purchasing disorder is associated with stress and depression, self-blame and low self-esteem, and is frequently viewed as a coping technique in those who feel unable to handle their difficulties. Although compulsive buying disorder is receiving more attention in consumer and psychological literature, there are few theoretical and empirical studies on its origins and treatment. Conclusion: Public policy measures that focus on education, legislation, and family professionals are likely to be of assistance to those who struggle with CBD as well as other types of excessive spending. To better understand the determinants of the CBD and to contribute to a more effective preventative intervention, more study is required.","PeriodicalId":93559,"journal":{"name":"Global journal of intellectual & developmental disabilities","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135621038","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}

Current psychometric practices and test-taking practices and interpretation of results fail to take this response process sufficiently into account.
