This chapter describes some common pitfalls in parenting an anxious child and ways to avoid them. Many of these traps and pitfalls can be loosely categorized as either “protective” or “demanding,” which are broad categories of beliefs and behaviors, and each can be expressed in many different ways. The first category is that of protection, which covers thoughts and behaviors that center on the goal of protecting the child from harm or distress. Taking on the role of protector for the child, when a danger is not present, can convey to the child that they are in need of protection, making them feel less safe and more vulnerable. The second category is that of demanding. Demanding is when the parents expect the child not to feel anxious, or to be able to act as though they are not, despite the very real anxiety they are feeling. Demanding has an important limitation that makes it almost entirely unhelpful when dealing with child anxiety. When a demand the parents make is not met, they often respond with frustration or anger because they feel helpless to enforce the demand or undermined by the lack of compliance. This can lead to conflict and hostility.

Our focal article sought to promote discussion of evidence-based approaches to practice in industrial–organizational (I–O) psychology. It did so by describing the meanings and origins of evidence-based practice, evaluating the extent to which I–O psychology practice is currently evidence-based, and considering the role of systematic reviews in promoting evidence-based practice. The commentaries on our focal article raised many interesting and important points. In our response, we divide them into two broad categories. The first category consists of comments and objections that arise from what we believe to be misinterpretations of evidence-based practice and our focal article. The second category contains those comments that in various ways extend and elaborate the issues raised in our focal article. Although we are not there yet, we hope that these commentaries will take us a little nearer to an evidence-based approach to I–O psychology.

Among the miracles of the Quran is the high eloquence it posesses. On this matter, the Quran consist of parables (amthal verses). The role of the amthal verses is to provide a clear picture on the meanings of the Quran. They also leave a deeper impression to the listeners should they choose to meditate on these verses. Muslim scholars have studied the amthal verses and they have produced a number of literatures. This shows the importance of the amthal verses towards understanding the contents of the Qur'an. The translation of the Quran to Malay language began since the 17th century. The Quranic translation requires the translators to master the knowledge of Quranic interpretations which also include the knowledge on amthāl Quran. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the translation of amthal verses to Malay language. This study relies on Malay Quranic translation by Sheikh Abdullah Basmeih. The study compares between Basmeih’s translation and the understanding of the amthāl verses according to Abd al-Nāṣir al-Sa'di through his book Taisīr al-Karīm al-Rahmān. This study is qualitative in nature with descriptive methods. The study found that there are two categories of amthal verses; 1- verses which can be easily understood and translated to Malay, 2- complex verses that require further interpretations. The translation of Sheikh Abdullah Basmeih in the first category provide a clear understanding of the verses, however on the second category, Basmeih’s translations are insufficient.

Positive And Negative Affectivity

Abstract. Positive affectivity (PA) and negative affectivity (NA) are basic traits that affect work-related perceptions and behaviors and should be considered in any assessment of these variables. A quite common method to assess healthy or unhealthy types of work-related perceptions and behaviors is the questionnaire on Work-Related Coping Behavior and Experience Patterns (WCEP). However, the association of PA and NA with WCEP remained unclear. In a sample of teachers, physiotherapists, and teacher students ( N = 745; Mage = 35.07, SD = 12.49; 78% females), we aimed to identify the relevance of these basic traits. After controlling for age, gender, and type of occupation, we found main effects of PA and NA, with the specific combination of PA and NA being decisive for predicting the assignment to a WCEP type. The results highlight the need to include PA and NA in future assessments with the WCEP questionnaire.

AbstractSuicide is the second leading cause of death among adolescents. While clinicians and researchers have begun to recognize the importance of considering multidimensional factors in understanding risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) during this developmental period, the role of puberty has been largely ignored. In this review, we contend that the hormonal events that occur during puberty have significant effects on the organization and development of brain systems implicated in the regulation of social stressors, including amygdala, hippocampus, striatum, medial prefrontal cortex, orbitofrontal cortex, and anterior cingulate cortex. Guided by previous experimental work in adults, we also propose that the influence of pubertal hormones and social stressors on neural systems related to risk for STBs is especially critical to consider in adolescents with a neurobiological sensitivity to hormonal changes. Furthermore, facets of the pubertal transition, such as pubertal timing, warrant deeper investigation and may help us gain a more comprehensive understanding of sex differences in the neurobiological and psychosocial mechanisms underlying adolescent STBs. Ultimately, advancing our understanding of the pubertal processes that contribute to suicide risk will improve early detection and facilitate the development of more effective, sex-specific, psychiatric interventions for adolescents.

The Relationship

Purpose This study aims to find out how corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives are perceived by pharmacists and how it influences employees’ organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and role of perceived supervisor support in the study. Design/methodology/approach Pharmacists of different hierarchical levels from five multinational pharmaceutical industries in Pakistan were selected as study samples. Data were collected from 136 pharmacists working in Punjab Region. PLS-SEM was used to test the hypotheses. Findings The results from this study found that CSR was a predictor of affective organizational commitment (AOC) and OCB. AOC fully mediates the relationship between CSR and OCB. While perceived supervisory support did not moderate the relationship between AOC and OCB. Pharmaceutical firms can promote commitment toward organization and OCBs by initiating CSR activities. Research limitations/implications This research is one of the innovative studies that empirically examine the predicting role of CSR and moderating role of perceived supervisory support on employees’ attitude and behaviors in the pharmaceutical companies’ context. Moreover, this research will also help the management by adopting CSR activities as core element in shaping employees attitudes and behaviors. Originality/value It is a significant study shifting the focus of research into organizational behavior context and further influences employee’s attitudes and behavior because of perceived CSR in the pharmacy industry.
