Decomposing variance in co-rumination using dyadic daily diary data

Co-rumination is the process of perseverating on problems, negative thoughts, or feelings with another person. Still unknown is how co-rumination unfolds within the daily lives of romantic couples. Using a variance decomposition procedure on data from a 14-day dyadic daily diary, we assess how much co-rumination varies over time and whether it is a couple- or individual-level process. Results revealed that within-person fluctuations in co-rumination contributed most (~33%) to the total variance and that these fluctuations could be reliably assessed using multi-item summary scores. Although time-invariant between-couple differences account significantly for the total variance (~14%) and can be reliably assessed, there is little within-couple agreement on the extent to which co-rumination fluctuates on a daily level. More research is needed to understand when and why perceptions of daily co-rumination diverge within couples, and how this informs theory on co-rumination and similar ostensibly dyadic constructs.

ANALYSIS OF ELEMENTS INFLUENCING CHILD SAFETY IN HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS USING ANALYTICAL METHOD

Due to the lack of land in densely populated areas in Malaysia, high-rise residential building has become a trend in the recent years. However, in designing and constructing these buildings, safety considerations have not received adequate attention. This study aims to examine the causes of children falling from high-rise buildings, while the nature and frequencies of such accidents were also investigated. The paper is based on the existing literature, as well as feedbacks from questionnaires and interviews. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach within Multi-criteria Decision Analysis was adopted for the analysis undertaken in this study. The outcome reveals that accidents involving child falls can be prevented by establishing appropriate policies and regulations. The strict enforcement of safety laws and regulations will help to avoid untoward accidents and dispel negative thoughts about living in high-rise buildings. The findings elaborate on the ranking of elements that influence child safety in high-rise apartments.
