Attending and Presenting at Scientific Conferences:

When presenting your work, state your hypothesis and results without emotional attachment and without overstating findings. You are presenting data, not your opinions on the outcomes. Use concise, simple sentences, avoiding excessive adjectives and “flowery” descriptions. Avoid words like “hope,” “disappointed,” or “pleased.” Avoid stating that values are higher or lower if there is no statistically significant difference. There is no need to say anything about data being “almost significant” or “trending toward significant.” Others will find that misleading, at best. If your results are not statistically significant, say so and provide your statistical outcomes for viewers to see.
Implications for Risk Management
Published in Samuel C. Morris, Cancer Risk Assessment, 2020
Introducing health risks in the benefit/cost calculation adds an additional complication. Although the basic approach remains the same, people feel differently about balancing health risks against monetary costs and benefits. Attempts have been made to keep the health risks separate from other risks in a decision. Terms such as “risk-benefit,” “risk-cost-benefit, “ and “risk-risk” have emerged. Lave (1981) discusses eight such decision frameworks. But there are many social and environmental factors that have an emotional attachment equal to health. Indeed, in many cases, health may be a relatively minor part of a decision. There seems to be little justification for separating it out as something different.
Separation Anxiety Disorder (SAD) and Adult Separation Anxiety Disorder (ASAD)
Published in Judy Z. Koenigsberg, Anxiety Disorders, 2020
According to attachment theory, children develop a lasting bond with their caregivers, and when caregivers are attuned to children’s needs, the emotional attachment facilitates a feeling of security both at times when the caregivers are present and when they are not present (Bowlby, 1977; Weems & Carrion, 2003). It has been demonstrated that the therapist–child alliance is associated with greater motivation for psychotherapy, increased participation in tasks, and more beneficial outcomes (Chu et al., 2004). A better therapist–parent collaboration results in more substantial benefit for both the child’s outcome and for parenting (Kazdin, Whitley, & Marciano, 2006; Kendall et al., 2009).
Gender differences in response to infidelity types and rival attractiveness
Published in Sexual and Relationship Therapy, 2021
Buss et al. (1992) asked participants to imagine their partner’s infidelity using brief scenarios and then identify the most distressing of two types of infidelity (a forced-choice paradigm). The results showed that men reported being more upset by sexual infidelity than women, whereas women reported being more upset by emotional infidelity than men. Such differences in infidelity responses have been found repeatedly in studies using a forced-choice paradigm (for reviews, see Easton, Schipper, & Shackelford, 2007; Edlund & Sagarin, 2017; Harris, 2003a). Emotional and sexual infidelity have been defined based on the guidelines used in Buss et al.’s (1992) study after numerous subsequent studies focused on the genuineness of its findings, that is, the formation of a deep emotional attachment to one person while enjoying passionate sexual relations with another.
Using patient complaints to drive healthcare improvement: a narrative overview
Published in Hospital Practice, 2021
Matthew Pearce, Victoria Wilkins, David Chaulk
Healthcare providers and hospital staff feel that the primary goal of patient complaints is to allow patients to voice frustrations with little motivation for generating improvement [2]. Staff also feel that complaints are frequently emotionally charged. This emotional attachment is supported by a survey conducted by the Patients Association, which is an organization in the United Kingdom that advocates for better patient experiences. This survey demonstrated that 67% of respondents said making a formal complaint was a stressful experience [6]. However, the healthcare staff perspective is inconsistent with motivations described by patients. While some patients make formal complaints in hopes of seeking an apology or compensation, the majority state that the primary motivation behind their complaint is to prevent a similar event from happening to someone else [5]. Overall, patient motivations for complaints appear to be altruistic in nature despite the emotions that may accompany them.

Alternatively, gay MSWs admitted they enjoyed both the income and the opportunity to develop romantic relationships with other gays (Quote #20). One participant said, “I think it [the reason to be sex worker] is the fun that comes with mingling with other men and meeting sexual needs. I am from a good family and they can afford my financial needs.” Key factors include emotional attachment, respect and non-judgment from their partners, as well as trust and equity in the romantic relationship (Quote#21–22). Several participants didn't feel they were even engaged in sex trade. For example, one participant said, “I can safely say I do enjoy it though I would not call it sex work per se. To me it's all about understanding each other and benefiting in the process.” Therefore, they were unlikely to quit sex work – even if they got married – because “this is part of my life” (Quote 23).
