There were two major goals of this study - to examine validity of scores for the Boholst Life Position Scale and to examine potential associations between life positions and affective traits. Two hundred seventy-seven students enrolled in undergraduate psychology classes at a large university volunteered for the study. Concurrent validity of scores for the life position scale was supported based on two compared instruments. Pearson product-moment correlations for the comparisons were -.765 and .617, both statistically significant at the p < .001 level. Factor analysis demonstrated that the scale could accurately be conceptualized as consisting of two factors - an "I" factor and a "You" factor. MANOVA, ANOVA, multiple linear regression, and canonical correlation analysis were used to examine associations between life positions and the affective traits of angry, sad, glad, social anxiety, loneliness, and satisfaction with life. Subjects were catagorized into four groups representing their life position: "I'm OK, you're OK," "I'm OK, you're not OK," "I'm not OK, you're OK," and "I'm not OK, you're not OK." A MANOVA employing life position as the independent variable with four levels and the six affective traits as the dependent variables demonstrated statistical significance (p < .001 level) and h2 was .505. All six separate ANOVAs, with life position as the independent variable and each separate affective trait as the dependent variable, revealed statistical significance (p < .001) and h2 varied from a high of .396 for the sadness variable to a low of .116 for social anxiety. Six separate multiple linear regression equations using two independent variables, a measure of self-esteem and a measure of the perceived OK-ness of others, and each separate affective trait as the dependent variable, showed statistical significance (p < .001). The average Adjusted R2 was .475. Both canonical correlation functions were statistically significant (Rc12 = .77 and Rc22 = .21). In summary, life positions were strongly associated with specific affective traits.

Der Zeugenbeweis ist im Strafprozess insbesondere bei Verfahren typischer Delik-te der Organisierten Kriminalität - die elementarste der Möglichkeiten des Strengbeweises. Der Staat hat dem gefährdeten Zeugen gegenüber im Einzelfall eine Schutzpflicht. Beispiele aus der Praxis des Zeugenschutzes werfen jedoch ein ernüchtern-des Bild auf den Zeugenschutz in Deutschland. Zeugenschutz ist im Bereich zwischen Polizei- und Strafprozessrecht zu verorten, was regelmäßig sachliche Trennungen zwischen polizeilichem und strafprozessualem Zeugenschutz kaum zulässt. Zeugenschutz bezweckt neben Schutz der gefährdeten Person die Sicherung von Strafverfolgung und Strafverfahren. Mit dieser Intention hat der Gesetzgeber das Zeugenschutz-Harmonisierungsgesetz (ZSHG) geschaffen und die dahinhegenden gesetzgeberischen Aktivitäten vorerst abgeschlossen. Der polizeiliche Zeugenschutz wurde auf eine gesetzliche Grundlage gestellt und damit vordergründig eine Regelungslücke zur Abwehr besonders schwerer Formen der Kriminalität geschlossen. Es ist dem Gesetzgeber in weiten Teilen jedoch nicht gelungen ist, die Regelungen des ZSHG in die StPO zu integrieren sowie entscheidende Schnittstellen des ZSHG zu anderen Rechtsgebieten ohne Friktionen und mögliche negative Auswirkungen auf den gefährdeten Zeugen abzubilden. Die sich daraus ergebenen Probleme und rechtlichen Fragen wurden in dieser Arbeit eingehend untersucht.
