With the help of German versions of the modified Utrecht-Groningen Identity Development Scales, we assessed interpersonal identity development of five different groups of siblings. Monozygotic, dizygotic same-sexed, and opposite-sexed twins, as well as same-sexed and opposite-sexed siblings (N = 214; average age 11.2, SD = 1.4) were interviewed three times (time interval: 1 year) in their home environments to examine commitment and exploration in the life domains siblings, best friends, and romantic relationships at each visit, as well as changes over time. Hierarchical analyses showed that, in general, the type of sibling dyad was not related to interpersonal identity development. Only monozygotic twins – being of the same genotype, same sex, and same age – derive more self-esteem from their sibling relationships. In general, a decrease in commitment toward the sibling and an increase of exploration in the life domains best friends and romantic relationships could be observed in all adolescents.

This paper examines the relationship of behavior trading investor using data detailed transaction history-corporate edition demand and order history in Indonesia Stock Exchange during period of March, April and May 2005. Peculiarly, behavior placing of investor order at trading volume. The result of this paper indicates that trading volume order pattern to have pattern U shape. The pattern happened that investors have strong desires to places order at the opening and close of compared to in trading periods. While the largest orders are of market at the opening indicates that investor is more conservatively when opening, where many orders when opening has not happened transaction to match. In placing order both of investor does similar strategy. By definition, informed investors’ orders more large than uninformed investors. If comparison of order examined hence both investors behavior relatively changes over time. But, statistically shows there is not ratio significant. This implies behavior trading of informed investors and uninformed investors stable relative over time. The result from regression analysis indicates that informed investors to correlate at trading volume in all time intervals, but not all uninformed investors correlates in every time interval. This imply investor order inform is more can explain trading volume pattern compared to uninformed investor order in Indonesia Stock Exchange. Finally, result of regression also finds that order status match has greater role determines trading volume pattern intraday especially informed buy match and informed sale match. While amend, open and withdraw unable to have role to determine intraday trading volume pattern.

Using a developmental frame, we focused thus far on the innermost circles of adolescent musical identity development. In the chapter exploring “who I am,” we viewed adolescent self-concept, or traits and attributes they ascribed to their musicking; self-esteem, or a feeling of musical self-worth; and self-representation, or how adolescents viewed themselves musicking over time. In close interaction, we saw the critical role of important others and closest contexts, such as home, school, and community. Examining “how I think,” we discussed the importance of relatedness, mindset, autonomy, and building a sense of competency. While looking at adolescent feelings, we explored agency, perseverance, and vulnerability. In ...

In this three-wave longitudinal survey, we investigated bi-directional longitudinal associations between best friends and adolescents’ alcohol consumption. Additionally, since the relation between best friends and adolescents’ drinking may be stronger if adolescents have not consumed alcohol yet, we examined this relation not only with regard to continuation but also with regard to the initiation of adolescent drinking. We also hypothesized that low levels of self-esteem and self-control in youths would be related to a higher susceptibility to the impact of their best friends’ drinking. Data were used from 433 adolescents and their best friends. Results of SEM analyses did not provide evidence for bi-directional associations between best friends and adolescents’ alcohol use over time. Nevertheless, the results of additional growth curve analyses indicated that adolescents and best friends’ drinking does seem to develop in a similar fashion over time. Adolescents’ self-esteem, self-control, and gender did not moderate longitudinal associations between best friends and adolescents’ drinking. The discussion focuses on methodological and theoretical explanations for the absence of significant longitudinal relations between best friends and adolescents’ drinking.

Records of 226 sets of triple theodolite balloon observations taken at Muroc, California, to heights of 38,000 feet have been analyzed to determined magnitudes of horizontal vector wind changes over time intervals from thirty minutes to five hours. The medians of magnitudes of velocity change vary from 2.0 mph over a time interval of 30 minutes to 6.4 mph over a time interval of five hours. The effect of altitude upon time variability of these winds has been studied. The height interval from the surface to 38,000 feet was separated into four altitude zones and it was found that wind variability is greater near the surface than in the zone above it. From the second zone upward, wind variability increased with height.

e11513 Background: This study examines breast cancer patients’ individual changes in health related quality of life (HRQOL) measures over time and the relationships between these measures within the framework of Structural equation modeling (SEM). Methods: One hundred and fifty five Australian women with breast cancer were asked to complete the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Breast, Version 4 (FACT-B) pre- and post-chemotherapy as measures of HRQOL. In SEM, growth curve modelling was required for the estimation of individual differences in developmental changes of HRQOL scales over time. A growth mixture model was also used for identifying the cross-group differences in the pattern of changes in a given population over time. Results: Reliability and validity of the FACT-G including the fatigue subscale and breast cancer subscale for evaluating Australian breast cancer patients was determined to be sufficient for research purposes. After adjustment for covariates, two subgroups of women were identified with respect of patterns of response, representing largely increasing and decreasing trends in HRQOL respectively. In the former group, on average 85% of breast cancer women reported changes over time with respect to individual HRQOL measures and 78% reported such changes with respect to combined HRQOL Scores. A small group of women reported changes with respect to HRQOL measures in the decreasing group. The greatest contribution to variation in HRQOL measures was in the breast cancer subscale for both individual and combined scores. Subsequent factor analysis of the breast cancer subscale revealed that with one exception, all items loaded onto three separate factors described as self-esteem, physical and psychological. The latter two improved over time, but self- esteem was largely unchanged. Conclusions: The study presents a technique that allows us to identify potential subgroups of study subjects that experience different trajectories of responses. The results of this study provide greater insight into HRQOL changes over time and can help to plan interventions in a better way, ultimately contributing to improvement in HRQOL of women with breast cancer. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

The aim of this article was to present Sectoral Analysis of Landscape Interiors (SALI). This method uses the idea of a landscape interior understood as a fragment of a landscape perceived from the level of a person standing at a given point. The analyses were conducted in two stages: stage I—the quantitative stage, and stage II—the qualitative stage. The first part of the research was the analysis of the percentage share of particular elements of landscape interiors in the images perpetuated in photographs, taking into account their level of transparency. The second part was the assessment of their quality based on expert knowledge. The use of the SALI method in the context of the analysis of greenery changes over time was illustrated on the example of the landscape interior of the main street in the village of Psary in Poland. The research was carried out at a time interval of 10 years—for the years 2009 and 2019. The results of the study indicate very large changes and loss of greenery (especially trees) and the associated deterioration of the landscape. The findings confirm the suitability of the method in landscape research at a human scale.

Romantic relationships activate a process of psychological attunement whereby self-esteem becomes responsive to the romantic bond, thereby potentially benefitting relationship quality and bolstering self-esteem. Yet some people are romantically single, raising the question: Do single people also exhibit psychological attunement? In a 2-year longitudinal study of young adults ( N = 279), we test whether singles psychologically attune to their friendships. Multilevel modeling revealed that within-person fluctuations in friendship quality predicted within-person fluctuations in self-esteem, and this association was stronger for singles than for partnered people. A cross-sectional mediation analysis also revealed that singles invested more in their friendships than partnered people, and greater friendship investment predicted greater friendship quality and self-esteem later on. Finally, singles maintain their friendship quality over time while partnered people experience declines. Taken together, these results suggest that singles are psychologically attuned to their friendships, and such attunement may benefit their belongingness and self-esteem.

Abstract. Studies on identity formation focus on various components of identity. However, these components have mainly been studied separately, and researchers in different fields are not always aware of each other’s work. Therefore, this systematic review provides an overview of theories and empirical studies on three key components of identity: distinctiveness (seeing the self as unique and distinct from others), coherence (perceiving the self as similar across life domains), and continuity (perceiving the self as the same person over time). This systematic review focused on the development of these components and linkages with psychosocial functioning. Findings suggest important differences between the three identity components. Therefore, we propose an integrative developmental framework of identity, including all three identity components and their linkages.

Objectives: This study examined the processes linking age, stressor exposure, psychosocial coping resources, and two dimensions of anger proneness (i.e., experienced anger and expressed anger). Method: Longitudinal change regression analysis of data from a two-wave community panel study including a sample of people aged 18 to 93 ( N = 1,473) is performed. Results: Age is significantly associated with declines in both experienced anger and expressed anger over the 3-year study period. These associations are substantially mediated by the lower levels of chronic stressors and discrimination-related stressors experienced among older adults. In contrast, self-esteem amplifies the association between age and expressed anger. Discussion: These findings clarify the circumstances in which age matters most for changes over time in the experience and expression of anger. They highlight how certain forms of stressor exposure and psychosocial resources are linked with anger proneness and in ways that vary by age.

In Modern society, most of car engines are multi cylinder four stroke engines, rotate speed is an important parameter of the engine, engine running status is a comprehensive expression of engine operation condition. It is also the result of the interaction by the gas torque, load torque and inertia moment. So the speed measurement is of great significance. Car engine speed measurement method has a lot of kinds, this article is based on the vibration method to measure, different methods used in vibration signal acquisition, analysis, processing and implementation. The vibration of the automobile engine output signals are continuous changes over time, we can say is a continuous signal. The vibration of the automobile engine output signals are continuous changes over time, we can say at this time is a continuous signal, when we use vibration sensor to gather the signals, a certain number of sampling points that are in different time, same time interval the vibration data resulting from the sampling theorem. At this time we deal with discrete time signals [1, 3]. Because of various vibration interference, The useful information we want to extract has been hidden in a lot of vibration under the disturbance signal, therefore, we carried out on the vibration signal analysis and processing, converting vibration wave in the frequency domain analysis, combining the new method of machinery vibration signal feature extraction, using short time Fourier transform, multiple correlation theory and Hilbert Huang transform combined with the application, making us in post-processing can extract the characteristic signal under the strong noise background [4]. The original signal frequency is obtained, based on related formulas to calculate car engine speed.
