Negative Consequences and cognitions about drinking and driving.
Journal of studies on alcohol, 2005Co-Authors: Denis M. Mccarthy, Sarah L. Pedersen, Melanie E. LeutyAbstract:OBJECTIVE: Drinking and driving has been found to be a highly persistent behavior, even after experiencing Negative Consequences, such as arrest. This study tested the association between Consequences of drinking and driving and cognitions related to drinking and driving (e.g., attitudes, normative beliefs). We tested whether exposure to Negative Consequences was associated with perceptions of risk associated with drinking and driving. METHOD: Participants were 938 college students. The sample was 57% female and primarily white (86%). Questionnaire measures were used to assess alcohol use, drinking and driving behaviors, drinking and driving cognitions, and lifetime drinking and driving Consequences. RESULTS: Results indicated that participants who had experienced Consequences of drinking and driving (either as a driver or rider) reported more current drinking and driving and greater alcohol consumption. Analyses indicated that most cognition measures differentiated those reporting lifetime Consequences from the rest of the sample, with the Consequence groups reporting more risky cognitions. However, experiencing a personal Consequence of drinking and driving was associated with perceiving Negative Consequences of drinking and driving to be more likely. CONCLUSIONS: These results provide evidence that most cognitive risk factors for drinking and driving remain high even after experiencing a Negative Consequence. This may contribute to the persistence of drinking and driving in prior offenders. The finding that the perception of Negative Consequences may be influenced by experiencing Consequences may have implications for intervention and treatment efforts.

Understanding the Social Implications of the Digital Transformation: Insights from Four Case Studies on the Role of Social Innovation to Foster Resilience of Society
2018Co-Authors: Gianluca Misuraca, Giulio Pasi, Gianluigi ViscusiAbstract:This paper advances further the analysis of previous exploratory research conducted by the authors on how social innovation can foster resilience in a digital governance context. The process of innovation in social policy, as well as the building of resilience implies changes in the existing status quo. ICTs can drive and steer such change, while at the same time they can act as counterbalance for the Negative Consequence of the digital transformation of labour markets on social protection systems. Understanding the logics and principles behind the design and implementation processes of exemplary innovative initiatives is thus crucial from a policy learning perspective, in order to identify the drivers and processes making this change happen and determining its outcomes. Based on an extensive body of literature reviewed the framework proposed for interpreting the effects of social innovation in fostering resilience fare discussed through four case studies.

The Vibrations Of A Beam With A Local Unilateral Elastic Contact
2010Co-Authors: Hamad Hazim, Neil Ferguson, B. RousseletAbstract:The mass reduction of satellite solar arrays results in significant panel flexibility. When such structures are launched there is a possible striking at one with another dynamically, leading ultimately to structural damage during the launch stage. To prevent this, rubber snubbers are mounted at well chosen points of the structure and they act as one sided linear spring; as a Negative Consequence, the dynamic of these panels becomes nonlinear. In this paper a solar array and a snubber are simply modeled as a linear Euler-Bernoulli beam with a one sided linear spring respectively. In this investigation, a numerical and an experimental study of a beam striking a one-sided spring under harmonic excitation is presented. The finite element approximation is used to solve the partial differential equations governing the structural dynamics. The models are subsequently validated and updated with experiments.

NUMERICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDY FOR A BEAM SYSTEM WITH LOCAL UNILATERAL CONTACT MODELING SATELLITE SOLAR ARRAYS
2009Co-Authors: Hamad Hazim, B. Rousselet, Neil FergusonAbstract:The mass reduction of satellite solar arrays results in significant panel flexibility, so possibly striking one another dynamically leading ultimately to structural damage. To prevent this, rubber snubbers are mounted at well chosen points of the structure and they act as one sided linear spring; as a Negative Consequence, the dynamic of these panels becomes nonlinear. The finite element approximation is used to solve partial differential equations governing the structural dynamic. The models are validated and adjusted with experiments done in the ISVR laboratory, Southampton university.

Frequency sweep for a beam system with local unilateral contact modeling satellite solar arrays
2009Co-Authors: Hamad Hazim, B. RousseletAbstract:In order to save mass of satellite solar arrays, the flexibility of the panels becomes not negligible and they may strike each other; this may damage the structure. To prevent this, rubber snubbers are mounted at well chosen points of the structure and they act as one sided linear spring; as a Negative Consequence, the dynamic of these panels becomes nonlinear. The finite element approximation is used to solve partial differential equations governing the structural dynamic. Frequency sweep has been performed numerically to study the dynamic behavior. Non linear normal modes are under study

Alcohol mixed with energy drinks: Expectancies of use and alcohol-related Negative Consequences among a young adult sample.
Addictive behaviors reports, 2020Co-Authors: Gregory Powers, Lisa BergerAbstract:Abstract Objective Energy drinks are a popular mixer with alcohol among college-aged young adults. Few studies to date have examined the relationships between expectancies of alcohol mixed with energy drink (AmED) use, AmED use and AmED-related Negative Consequences. Methods Eighty college-aged young adults were surveyed regarding their alcohol and AmED use, related Negative Consequences and AmED expectancies. Associations were assessed using chi-square tests and Cramer's V. A simple mediational model also was used to explore the potential relationships between AmED expectancies, AmED use and AmED-related Negative Consequences. Results AmED use was associated with more types of related Negative Consequences than heavy alcohol use alone, and where AmED use and heavy alcohol use were mutually associated with a related Negative Consequence, the strength of association was stronger for AmED use. While several AmED-related Negative Consequences were associated with AmED expectancies, unwanted sexual contact and getting into a verbal argument were associated with the greatest number of expectancies. The mediational model identified a statistically significant indirect effect of AmED expectancies on AmED-related Negative Consequences mediated by AmED use. Conclusions The study results contribute to the evidence that AmED use may confer additional risk for related Negative Consequences beyond heavy alcohol use and suggest that AmED expectancies may have a role in AmED use, which, in turn, is associated with AmED-related Negative Consequences. AmED expectancies may be targets for intervention to reduce AmED use considering the possible subsequent related Negative Consequences, especially those involving Negative interpersonal experiences.
