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.

Regional trade agreements (RTAs) are not new, however their significance in worldwide commercial concerns and governmental issues has become exponentially in the previous two decades. In the meantime, RTAs have ended up progressively dubious as their number, degree, and cross-cutting enrollments get to be complex to the point that numerous apprehension they will undermine the World Trade Organization's multilateral exchanging framework. Running from the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation gathering to the European Union to the North American Free Trade Agreement, RTAs have similarly far reaching purposes, from enhancing business access to expanding clout in global arrangements. Handling this intricacy and perplexity head on, this book gives a quite required adviser for RTAs. Setting current territorial assertions in their investment, political, and verifiable connection, David A. Lynch depicts and analyzes basically every noteworthy RTA, area by locale. He unmistakably demonstrates their many-sided internal workings, their networks of joint effort and clash, and their essential objectives and adequacy. Lynch's profoundly proficient study connects the ideological partitions in academic and open civil argument, including economists' accentuations on businesses and productivity versus burrowing little creature globalization activists' worries over disparity and social ills. By building a center ground between micro and macro examination and

The late 1940s and 1950s saw the rise of political and cultural hysteria among Americans following fears of an impending Soviet threat on American soil. The effect was that Americans thought soviet communists were working behind the scenes to ensure the downfall or harm of the United States (Lovett). As a result, there was regular charging among each other that one was either a communist or a sympathizer of communists, thereby continuing this trend of fear. Under this threat then, several American politicians withdrew their political ideas, values and lived communist-free lives (Schrecker). It was during this rise that McCarthyism was at its peak. This was a movement that would use communism

The biggest problem for teenagers when they came to the College is shocked. The article “The Real Campus Source” was written by Frank Bruni makes us know more about the life and the feeling of the students who study at college in first semester. So how the alumnus feels when they first come to college? The author analyses the emotion of the students. He knows that they feel lonely, bored, and abandoned because they don't know about the people who they first time meet (2018). I agree with the author’s opinion that student will feel lonely when they study first semester in college and I disagree with the point that using technology for connect students’ family and high school friends can make them isolated to new people.

Success comes easier to a student’s if they are in their comfort zone. students who feel at ease with their environment, have a higher tendency to achieve success in college, for example studies have shown that African American students that attend predominantly white universities are more likely to either have lower grade point averages or drop out at higher rates than their white counterparts and African Americans at historically black colleges. (Allen, Epps & Hanuf, 1991; Braddock & Dawkins 1981) This is a common example of how change could affect a student’s ambition unconsciously. Studies have shown that students who attend Historically Black Colleges and Universities are more likely to have higher self worth, positive self images, strong racial pride, and higher aspirations, opposite of black students on white campuses. This is true for almost all commonalities: race, gender, age, and even backgrounds. Students that feel more “at home” will more than likely receive higher grade point averages.

The research was a quasi-experiment with an independent group design. Because of pre-existing groups in the independent variable, random assignment was not feasible.

The dependent variable was the amount of social support seeking by males and females as measured by the COPE social support scale.

This results in few friends and international students tending to isolate themselves or keeping to a group of the same language. Depression comes into effect for those that cannot find peers of the same language. Therefore being forced to have very or no friend which leads to loneliness and depression. The barrier between international students and English speaking students create obstacles that impede the building of interpersonal relationships with fellow students. International students not fluent with the English language experience difficulties that students who are fluent do not. They difficulties include needing extra time to read assigned reading, difficulties understanding class lectures and discussions, and difficulties communicating concerns and view points (Tam. K, Donghyuck. L, & Huang. L, 2007) International students tend to disconnect from their previous social life and find new connections to develop new social Support networks in their new host country (Tam. K, Donghyuck. L, & Huang. L, 2007). Pedersen (1991), point out that a loss of social support as an impact on the psychological well-being of an international student. The unpleasant experience of forming new support networks in host country leads to feeling of disappointment and discontent. Overtime, these feeling lead to social isolation (Mallinckrodt and Leong 1992).

This essay will examine how social skills and personal attributes help first year university students in the way to academic success. Glogowska, Young and Lockyer (as cited in Richardson, King, Garrett & Wrench, 2012, p.88) noted that many first year students decide to leave university as the consequence of health issue and academic challenges. Concern that academic skills are not enough for students to deal with the problem of transition period and students need more skills and abilities to reach their academic goals.

Course grades were used to measure academic performance, which was the dependent variable in the study. There were two independent variables: (a) introverted or extroverted preference and (b) traditional or online course environment. Survey questionnaires were used for assessing dependent and independent variables.

As I consider my interpersonal, intrapersonal, and cognitive development, I find that my collegiate career reflects the themes emphasized in Student Connectedness Theory. According to the interpersonal component of this theory, students rely on various sources of people before making decisions, such as their parents, family relatives, professors, mentors, guidance counselors, friends, or community. However, when students receive mixed messages about a particular decision, the student becomes unsure of what to do next. In this case, students will often turn to the person or persons they feel most connected to. Furthermore, when students transition into the college environment, their vulnerability makes connections particularly important, as they look for someone who will validate and support them throughout their collegiate careers. When thinking about all the support I had during high school from my parents, guidance counselors, friends, or community to enroll in college after graduating, it seemed as if college was the only option that was available to me. However, the mixed messages I received from my support networks about which institution to attend, made things overwhelming and confusing. Once I began my collegiate career at Felician, my interpersonal development had also played an important role in the relationships I formed with different people. For instance, the outgoing friend I had met during orientation was crucial to helping me come out of my shell and
