Predicting the Outcomes of Psychotherapy by the Penn Helping Alliance Rating Method

Purpose. Disclosure of the peculiarities of the organization of modern training of university students with a risky perception of reality in order to form basic competencies for future professional activities.Methods. As part of the study, the following were used: the systematization method, the structural analysis method and the numeric rating method.Results. The peculiarities of riskology training in the construction of an individual educational route are determined, in which the possibility of students independently choosing disciplines to realize their own interests in various fields of knowledge is used. Methods of obtaining risk identification skills from trainees are formulated. It is determined that using the intuitive method of risk formalization is the most accessible and expeditious way to remember the possibility of risks. The need to develop a sustainable habit of assessing risks in the future and in fact is justified. This skill is successfully developed using a numeric rating method. The need to develop an internal rating scale for each student is justified, which is useful for making decisions. Disclosed is a method of assimilating risk analysis skills in dynamics. This allows you to identify the development of forecast estimates in comparison with the fact for each individual risk and compile several risks.Conclusion. An educational experiment on the introduction of the Riskology discipline for students ofTyumenStateUniversity suggests that they have successfully overcome the stage of high risk of perception of reality that arose during the COVID-19 pandemic. The acquired knowledge and practical skills will ensure a similar perception of other events in their lives and professional activities. It is necessary to fully expand such practices and find an opportunity to supplement educational programs in universities, regardless of their orientation, with disciplines that directly reveal the nature of risk in human life and give them the ability to manage them.

Lock Gate

Influenced by surrounding environment, performance load and eroded by all kinds of media, the structure of lock gate prone to corrosion phenomena. Therefore, aimed at the situation of gate corrosion, to carry out the appraisal method for gate, a gate corrosion detection rating method is established. Based on the environment characteristics, taking corrosion appearance, coating thickness, the residue corrosion depth and corrosion pit depth as the index to evaluate,provides the judgment and evaluation basis for the lock gate is in need of repair.

Over Time

In this paper we introduce novel methods of intensifying and varying the user experience in virtual environments (VE). VEs technically have numerous means for crafting the user experience. Little has yet been done to evaluate those means of expression (MoEs) for their emotional impact on people and to use their capability to create different experiences and subtly guide the user. One of the reasons is that this requires a system which is capable of easily and dynamically providing those MoEs in such a way that they can easily be composed, evaluated, and compared between applications and users. In the following, we first introduce our model of both informational and emotional impact of VEs on users, introduce our dynamic, expressive VR-system, and present our novel evaluation and rating method for MoEs. MoEs can be used to guide attention to specific objects or build up an emotion or mood over time. We then present a study in which users experience 30 selected MoEs and rate their qualitative emotional impact using this rating method. We found that different MoEs can be used to elicit many diverse emotions which were surprisingly consistent among the test persons. With these results, our work enables new ways to make VEs more interesting and emotionally engaging, especially over a longer period of time, opening new possibilities, for example, to increase the motivation for long, stressful, and tiresome training as in neurorehabilitation.

Zusammenfassung Einleitung Der von Luborsky entwickelte HAQ wurde Mitte der 1990er Jahre von Bassler et al. ins Deutsche übersetzt und erstmals testmethodisch untersucht. Er besteht aus 11 Items, die zu den Skalen „Beziehungszufriedenheit“ und „Erfolgszufriedenheit“ zusammengefasst werden. Mittlerweile gehört er zu den international am häufigsten eingesetzten Instrumenten zur Messung der psychotherapeutischen Arbeitsallianz. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist ein Update der psychometrischen Prüfung anhand dreier großer Stichproben in unterschiedlichen Behandlungssettings. Material und Methoden Es fand eine testmethodische Untersuchung unter Differenzierung des Settings und der Messzeitpunkte statt. Die Quellen: 2 Studien aus dem Bereich der stationären psychosomatischen Rehabilitation (n=655, n=2494) und eine Studie aus dem Bereich der ambulanten Psychotherapie (n=1477). Die faktorielle Struktur des HAQ wurde mit explorativen Faktorenanalysen ermittelt und konfirmatorisch überprüft. Ergänzend wurden Reliabilitäts- und Validitätsanalysen durchgeführt. Ergebnisse Die bisherige 2-faktorielle Struktur des Instruments wurde bestätigt, sie wird zum Behandlungsende stabiler. Items 2 und 3 luden inkonsistent auf verschiedene Skalen in Abhängigkeit von Messzeitpunkt und Studie. Die Reliabilitäts- und Validitätsanalysen ergaben zufriedenstellende bis gute Werte in allen Bereichen. Der Fit des Modells hingegen war weniger befriedigend und legt eine Lösung ohne die beiden Items 2 und 3 nahe. Aus inhaltlichen Gründen sowie aus Gründen der Verbreitung wird dafür plädiert, die bisherigen Itemzuordnungen im HAQ vorerst beizubehalten.
