Investigating the Conditional Adaptiveness of Adolescents’ Aggression from an Evolutionary Perspective
… various conditions that may affect the adaptiveness of adolescent aggression, namely aggression characteristics (aggressive form, function, and anonymity), target characteristics (power of victim relative to the perpetrator), and perpetrator characteristics (experience of victimization …

The Adaptiveness of Antisocial Personality Traits: Obtaining Reputation, Resources, and Reproduction Through Bullying
Adolescents may compete with each other for access to adaptive outcomes (e.g., social, material, and sexual resources) that have reliably led to survival and reproduction in the ancestral past. However, adolescents may have varying levels of success in securing adaptive outcomes depending on their …

Adaptiveness of political interest organizations to social change in the United States since 1960: a theoretical examination
… for a forthcoming empirical study of the adaptiveness of business associations, labor unions, and environmental organizations to social change since 1960. These three types of interest organizations are selected because they are particularly likely to have become targets of increased …

Personality resources and stress reactivity : potential mechanisms in stress-related psychopathology
… psychopathology. It was hypothesized that the "adaptiveness" of the individual is reflected in stress-related patterns of mood change, cardiac activity, and selective attention. Cognitive adaptiveness to stress was defined by a profile of five personality traits: locus of control, self-efficacy, …

Adjustment Among College Students Experiencing Parental Divorce as Young Adults
… group scored higher on scales measuring academic adaptiveness, reading for pleasure, and creative expressions. Mean differences were also found on measures of parent-child attachment and interparental conflict. The delayed divorce group reported significantly higher levels of interparental …

On within-defense variability and defenses in male federal offenders
… The first was to test the validity of the Adaptiveness of Defenses Scale (ADS), a new measure developed to assess variability within ego defense mechanisms. Study 1 addressed the validity of the ADS with a sample of 104 male undergraduates. The ADS was hypothesized to account for …

Coffee Queue Project
… by using two ABS with different temporal adaptiveness. Unlike other computer vision papers which perform tests in highly controlled environments, the DABS technique is tested in a crowded Starbucks© at the Cal Poly student union. For any length of people standing in line, result shows that …

Behavioural ecology of lesser sheathbills Chionis minor at Marion Island
… competition, the weather and predators. The adaptiveness of the broad trophic niche was investigated. A hypothesis that the variable social behaviour facilitated exploitation of variable food resources to benefit individual birds was examined; particular attention was paid to territoriality …

A study of one aspect of attachment behavior: home reared versus day care infants' reaction to strangers
… from that environment of evolutionary adaptiveness if a secure mother-child attachment is to be formed. The observation checklist, designed by Morgan and Ricciuti was employed to measure the reactions of eight day care and eight home reared infants, ten to eighteen months, to an adult …

Process Depletion in Emotion Regulation
… is impacted by individual differences, and its adaptiveness may vary depending on context. For example individuals from vulnerable populations such as children and mothers in the context of poverty often demonstrate less optimal reappraisal, that is in turn associated with maladaptive behaviors. …

A Model based Design Framework for Interoperable Communication Systems
… communication readiness, operational awareness, adaptiveness, and coupledness. Based on these findings, a new instrument was proposed to measure interoperability for communication systems. This instrument was then statistically validated. The second study identified the effects of different types …

Optimizing Runtime Performance of Dynamically Typed Code
… programs that require a high level of runtime adaptiveness. However, the lack of compile-time type information involves fewer opportunities for compiler optimizations, and no detection of type errors at compile time. In order to provide the benefits of static and dynamic typing, hybrid typing …

Towards an evolutionary perspective of bipolar disorders: Is there a genetic link between bipolar disorders and non-pathological (adaptive) hyperactivity?
… scenery appears linked to variability in the adaptiveness with which people follow life goals and accomplishments. In the later stages of the study, this tool was very helpful in identifying older adults (60 years of age and older) with features of well-defined hyperactivity and …
