The authors of the article I chose “Childhood Sexual Abuse, Distress, and Alcohol-Related Moderation by Drinking to Cope” were Kathryn Z. Smith, Phillip H. Smith and Emily R. Grekin. And their hypotheses was “childhood sexual abuse would be associated with distress, but that this distress would only be associated with problem drinking among those who scored high on coping motives for drinking”. Found on page four of ten. They started with the hypothesis that distress would mediate the pathway between childhood sexual abuse and problem drinking. Also that the pathway between distress and problem drinking would be moderated by coping motives for drinking. They used path analyses to examine the moderated-mediation.

The main purpose of this article is to examine various research on the etiology of stuttering. The experimental research explored various brain circuitries involved, specifically the the basal ganglia. Furthermore, the meta-analysis discussed neuroimaging, lesion, pharmacological, and genetic studies on the neural circuitries connected to persistent developmental stuttering and acquired neurogenic stuttering.

. . van, d. B. (2007). The association between conduct problems and the initiation and progression of marijuana use during adolescence: A genetic analysis across time. Behavior Genetics, 37(2), 314-25. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10519-006-9124-1 The researchers raise the question of how largely genetic factors play a role in the influence of marijuana use on the individual. Previous research suggests that there is not just one factor, but individuals are more likely to be environmentally influenced. The researchers challenge these findings and suggest that genetics has just as much influence on the individual. Using a longitudinal research design the authors investigated both genetic and environmental influences on the association between earlier conduct problems and the initiation and progression of marijuana use during adolescence. Bivariate genetic analyses were conducted to establish whether marijuana initiation and progression represented a single liability of risk or alternatively, whether these behaviors were more accurately represented as independent liabilities. These findings mark an important shift away from documenting cross-sectional associations between conduct problems and substance use, from which it is impossible to determine the direction of effects, toward the use

Annotated Bibliography Less Than Human: The Psychology of Cruelty, by David L. Smith, article excerpt, St. Martin Press LLC, 2011. David Livingstone Smith in his article titled, “ Less Than Human: The Psychology of Cruelty,” he claims that defining and describing dehumanization is key to understanding how people are capable of doing horrible things to others by beginning to demean them and thinking of them as animals and supports his claim by giving evidence of the consequences of those who have been dehumanized and treated as subhumans. Smith’s purpose is to persuade the reader to believe that demeaning and treating others as less than human makes anyone capable of killing or harming others in order to make many aware of the dangers of viewing

The main purpose of this annotated bibliography is to help answer the question; can living in poverty have an impact on a child’s performance in school? Past experiences made me decide on this final research question. Being a military brat I was able to travel the world. While moving from place to place, I was able to spend 5 years of my life in Hawaii. While there I was exposed to an abundance of homeless people, families, others that were on the brink of being homeless. At the beach and on the side of the road you could see hundreds of tents of families who could no longer afford to live in a home. Set aside from not having a home, many of these families struggle to feed their children and send them to schools. Knowing that both of my parents
