It is defined by three dimensions describing the cognitive appraisal of the events: internal-external, stable-unstable, and global-specific. With cross-sectional research design, the observations consist of 102 adolescents (48 males, 54 females) who diagnosed with Transfusion-dependent thalassemia (more than 50 times for blood transfusions) completed the measure of Attributional Styles and Anxiety Questionnaires. The correlations in the predicted directions among variables examine with Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients, t-test, and One-way ANOVA to ascertain a significant between the group differences on attributional factors and levels of anxiety symptoms. The results show that Adolescent samples with higher levels of anxiety revealed statistically significant relationship among three negative attributional dimensions (overall composite F = 4.5, p 〈 0.05; negative composite F = 4.99, p 〈 0.01; negative-internality F = 4.99 p 〈 0.01; negative-stability F = 3.42, p 〈 0.05 and negative-globality F = 3.77, p 〈 0.05). In addition, significant age- group differences were found for the total negative-globality (t = 2.05, p 〈 0.05) and negative- globality (t = -2.22, p 〈 0.05). These data are consistent with the reformulated learned helplessness model of depression. In finding, the individuals who attribute negative life events to internal, stable, and global causes will be more vulnerable to anxiety than those who make external, unstable, and specific attributions. Most interestingly, those adolescents more than 17 years evidence more negative-globality attfibutional style than group less than 16 years, and female adolescents may influence this pattern. These results suggest that targeting Adolescents with Transfusion-dependent thalassemia may be important for improving aspect of coping on psychological adjustment to their chronic illness.展开更多

Since reform and opening up, China has sought to realize the twin governance aims of high speed development of the socialist economy and maintenance of stability, which require that the state simultaneously undertake the dual roles of modern government and national capital. The consequent adjustments to the governance structure are expressed in the state's devolution of power to the market while reserving government pricing power; devolution of power to local governments while reserving power over central tasks; and affirming social rights while reserving the power to approve social organizations. At the institutional level, the externalities produced by this "quasi-decentralized governance structure" are marked by the shrinkage of arrangements for collective welfare, the absence of mechanisms for routine security in ordinary life, and the development of mechanisms that allow the government to profit from the market. This may result in the instrumentalization of government functions and the capitalization of public power, producing imbalances in the distribution of social rights, wealth and risk, or in other words, social instability.展开更多
