Behavioral avoidance by fish of residual chlorine in power plant discharges
… to be the most simple and sensitive index of avoidance behavior. TRC, CRC, and FRC avoidance thresholds varied between species and acclimation temperatures. HOCl avoidance thresholds were consistent between acclimation temperatures, suggesting that HOCl is the primary constituent of the TRC …

Field- and laboratory-determined behavioral avoidance and gill histological alterations of fish in response to acidic and alkaline pH conditions
… displaced more sensitive species. Laboratory avoidance studies, utilizing a steep-gradient trough apparatus, were used to investigate the potential role of avoidance behavior that may alter fish distributions in acidic and alkaline waters. Stonerollers, rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri), golden …

Individual and Situational Factors Associated With Social Barriers for Persons With Mobility Impairment
… attitudes, and negative affect in predicting behavioral intentions to avoid. Affective arousal emerged as a strong predictor of behavioral intentions to avoid peers with disabilities. Global disability attitudes were fairly strongly predictive of negative affect and weakly predictive of …

The Structure and Function of Coping With Sexual Harassment
… coping strategies that employ a cognitive or behavioral method and between coping strategies that employ an approach or avoidance focus; the four clusters described here are behavioral approach, behavioral avoidance, cognitive approach, and cognitive avoidance. These four constructs were then …

Inheritance, fitness costs, and potential mechanisms of resistance for western corn rootworm larvae surviving Bt corn
… be due to physiological adaptations or through behavioral avoidance of the toxin in the plant. For the first portion of this work, we investigated a behavioral avoidance hypothesis for resistance. We hypothesized that later hatching western corn rootworm larvae could utilize previous feeding …

An experimental investigation of the relationship between physiological arousal, panic expectancy and agoraphobia
… and panic expectancy on anxiety and agoraphobic avoidance were evaluated on thirty-six Ss diagnosed with panic disorder. It was hypothesized that there would be main effects of increased physiological arousal and increased panic expectancy on anxiety and avoidance, as well as an interaction of …

A comparison of stress inoculation training and stress education in the treatment of stress associated with dental procedures
… reported distress, physiological arousal, and behavioral avoidance. Previous research has concluded that training in coping skills constitutes the"active ingredient" of the treatment package, while education about the nature and effects of stress is not sufficient to produce behavior change. …

Psychological Flexibility and Experienced Vicarious Trauma Among United States Probation Officers
… flexibility: openness to experience, behavioral avoidance, and values awareness. Findings showed no difference in levels of vicarious trauma among pretrial, presentence, and post sentence units, and no correlation between vicarious trauma and length of service. Further, probation …

Detecting Cardiovascular Emotional Dampening: An Exploration of Emotional Dampening at Different Levels of Emotion Processing
… mechanisms, course of development, or related behavioral consequences. Purpose: The present study sought to expand upon on the existing literature by replicating previous research findings, determining if emotional dampening is more easily detectable using a bottom-up emotion-related task …

The Neural Circuit for Behavioral Responses to Pheromone and Social Behavior in Caenorhabditis Elegans
… Caenorhabditis elegans, I have examined two behavioral responses to pheromones, pheromone avoidance and pheromoneregulated social aggregation behavior, at genetic and circuit levels. The known C. elegans pheromones are a set of related compounds called ascarosides. Specific ascarosides are …

The impact of episodic hypoxia on blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus): from molecules to populations)
… acclimated to hypoxia, which affects their behavioral responses to and survival of hypoxia. Therefore, a comprehensive approach examining the behavioral and physiological responses of mobile animals to hypoxia can help predict the impact of hypoxia on population dynamics. I used a series of …
