1	Evaluation of a theoretical model of perceptual accuracy and self-management behavior in pediatric diabetes Lane, Mariella Marie 01 November 2005 (has links) This study evaluated a model of perceptual accuracy and self-management behavior in pediatric diabetes. Participants were 169 children and adolescents (10-18 years) attending diabetes summer camps. Error grid analysis quantified global perceptual accuracy and specific blood glucose estimation errors. The mean accuracy index was 15%, failure to detect hyperglycemia being the most frequent error. Path analysis evaluated models for failure to detect hypoglycemia, failure to detect hyperglycemia, and overestimation of normal blood glucose. Results reflected relatively good fit of the data with the models; however, results did not support mediational hypotheses and explained minimal variance in perceptual error. In sum, participants made considerable estimation errors that may affect self-management; however, results did not support the theoretical models in this sample. perceptual accuracy diabetes self-management symptom perception children adolescents
2	Premarital Preparation Activities and the Level of Complaint and Perceptual Accuracy in Marriage Todd, Suzette Dalaine Regis 01 May 2008 (has links) This thesis examined the influence that premarital preparation had on the level of complaints in marriages and the amount of perceptual accuracy that couples had in their marriage. The data for this thesis were taken from Wave I and Wave II of the Utah Governor’s Commission on Marriage study on newlyweds. The research examined four questions: (1) Do husbands and wives who have reported higher helpfulness of premarital preparation activities have fewer strong complaints in their marriage? (2) Do husbands and wives who have reported the helpfulness of premarital preparation activities have greater perceptual accuracy in their marriages? (3) Which types of premarital preparation activities are associated with strong complaints? (4) Which types of premarital preparation activities do husbands and wives find to be most helpful? Results revealed that those who reported the helpfulness of premarital preparation activities had fewer complaints than those who did not find those activities helpful. This study finds no statistical significance between the reported helpfulness of premarital preparation activities and perceptual accuracy. The relationship between premarital preparation activities and strong complaints is presented. Preparation activities that husbands and wives found to be most helpful are ranked and presented. A discussion of the findings, limitations, and suggestions for future research is also presented. premarital preparation marital problems marital complaints perceptual accuracy perception in marriage premarital education Education Social and Behavioral Sciences
3	PERCEPTIONS IN PREDICTING ACTOR AND PARTNER SEXUAL AND RELATIONAL SATISFACTION IN COUPLE RELATIONSHIPS Novakova, Lucia 01 January 2016 (has links) The present exploration of perceptual accuracy and bias in romantic relationships bridges a gap in the literature on the ability of partners to estimate one another’s level of relational and sexual satisfaction, and its impact on their own and their partner’s level of satisfaction. A sample of 50 couples, recruited internationally, in continuously monogamous relationships of at least six-months in length completed online assessments of their relationship. The degree of accuracy and bias of their perception was established by comparing actor’s estimates of their partner’s satisfaction with the partner’s actual, self-reported satisfaction scores. The actor-partner interdependence model (APIM; Kenny, Kashy, & Cook, 2006) revealed significant partner effects (but no actor effects): the underestimation of perceived partner’s sexual and relational satisfaction predicted an increase in partner’s actual sexual and relational satisfaction. Overestimation of partner’s satisfaction, on the other hand, predicted a decrease in partner’s actual satisfaction. Authors hypothesize that under-perception of partner’s satisfaction motivates corrective relationship behaviors, which, in turn, increases the experience of satisfaction of the relationship partner.
