Research paper thumbnail of A Fulcrum of Change: From Self-Stigma to Resilience

The first goal is to explain the benefits of conducting comprehensive studies of resilience for adults who have a stigmatizing condition or who have a family member or close friend with a stigmatizing condition. The second goal is to propose a model that illuminates how 3 perceptual components of self-stigmatization (concordant/discordant views of self, balance of power, and social distance) mediate the change toward resilience on an ongoing basis in varying social contexts through the development of competence, compassion for others, and self-compassion. Competence, compassion for others, and compassion for self potentially moderate the harmful effects of self-stigmatization, fit with the overarching themes required for resilience and self-determination, and underscore the critical need to implement and sustain widespread changes in communities, society, and culture.

The hypothesis was that mothers" reports of child behavior problems and mothers" reports of external locus of control would be related to abuse potential. A total of 95 mother-child pairs were screened for child abuse potential during visits to a hospital-based pediatric clinic. Following brief interviews, mothers completed three measures: Milner's Child A buse Potential Inventory, Levenson's Locus of Control Scales, and the Revised Behavior Problem Checklist. Perceptions of control by powerful others and by chance were related to abuse potential for mothers of both sexes. Mothers" reports of their sons" anxiety-withdrawal and conduct-disorder behavior problems were related to abuse potential. There was a significant association among lie scores, internality, and abuse potential for mothers o f female children. Mothers with high abuse potential reported significantly more behavior problems in their children. The findings were discussed in relation to coercion theory. In a series of studies during the last decade, Patterson (1980, 1982) and colleagues have examined the mother's role in child management. Coercion theory represents a collection of hypotheses derived from this group of studies to explain a cycle of aggressive parent-child behaviors occurring in problem families. Manuscript received in final form June 19, 1984. ~Portions of this paper were presented at the biennial meeting of the Society for Research in Child Development, DetrOit, April 1983. This research was conducted by the first author in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Ph.D. at the University of Miami under the direction of Drs. Keith G. Scott and Annette M. La Greca. The first author wishes to thank the members of the committee, Drs. Herbert C. Quay, Simon B. Miranda, Daryl Greenfield, and Julia Rosenkrans, for their many contributions. Also, special thanks to the University of Miami Child Protection Team for their continuous support and guidance, and special appreciation to the mothers and children who participated in the study. 217

A majority of these algorithms assumes that 3D models have mathematically welldefined representations, e.g., closed, manifold mesh. These algorithms are thus not applicable to other types of shape models, for example, those defined as polygon soup. This paper proposes a 3D model retrieval algorithm that accepts diverse 3D shape representations and is is able to compare non-rigid 3D models. The algorithm employs a set of hundreds to thousands of 3D, statistical, local features to describe a 3D model. These features are integrated into a feature vector per 3D model by using bag-of-features approach for efficiency in comparing 3D models and for invariance against articulation and global deformation. Experimental evaluation showed that the algorithm performed well for non-rigid 3D model retrieval.

This study explores different types of stigmatizing conditions and the co-occurring (intersectional) stigmas among 476 students attending a 13,000-student state university in North-East Ohio. In addition to studying the extent and intersectionality of stigma, the collected data is used to estimate some economic costs associated with it. The three most prevalent stigma conditions reported by students were depression, overweight, and poverty. Based on this study, these three conditions in particular identified in the study should be considered when setting up stigma prevention and intervention programs on university campuses. In addition to the personal benefits of an individual's healing, a simple cost analysis conducted in the study highlights very large financial returns to both universities and society of even moderate interventions.
