Family unpredictability, future discounting, and risk taking

The Journal of Socio-Economics, 2008
Abstract Risk taking is predicted to vary with future discounting, as immediate rewards would be overvalued compared to those in the distant future. Degree of future discounting may be increased by unpredictability in the childhood environment. Here we assess relationships among risk taking, future discounting, the developmental environment, and ...

The Retrospective Family Unpredictability Scale: Reliability and Validity

Journal of Child and Family Studies, 2007
Family unpredictability or inconsistency may be responsible, in part, for the detrimental outcomes associated with parental divorce, parental alcoholism, and family poverty. We assessed behavior patterns and regulatory systems in one’s family of origin for the purposes of developing the Retrospective Family Unpredictability Scale (Retro-FUS).

Family Unpredictability, Parental Alcoholism, and the Development of Parentification

The American Journal of Family Therapy, 2006
The current study sought to examine whether parental alcoholism and family unpredictability contribute to the development of parentification, when children take on parental roles within the family. Participants (N = 123) from 10 outpatient clinics completed surveys that included the Retrospective Family Unpredictability Scale (Ross, 1999), the Children

Neither environmental unpredictability nor harshness predict reliance on alloparental care among families in Cebu, Philippines

Development and Psychopathology, 2022
AbstractAlloparental caregiving is key to humans’ highly flexible reproductive strategies. Across species and across societies, alloparental care is more common in harsh and/or unpredictable environments (HUEs). Currently, however, it is unclear whether HUEs predict intra-population variation in alloparental care, or whether early life HUEs might ...

Family study of the startle reflex and event‐related potentials in anticipation of predictable and unpredictable threat in adolescents and their parents

Psychophysiology, 2023
AbstractA heightened sensitivity to unpredictable threat has been identified as a potential transdiagnostic mechanism of psychopathology. The majority of supporting research has been conducted in adults, and it is unclear whether psychophysiological indicators of sensitivity to unpredictable threat are comparable in youth during developmental periods ...

Desmoid tumors: clinical features and outcome of an unpredictable and challenging manifestation of familial adenomatous polyposis

Familial Cancer, 2014
Background/Aims Desmoid tumors (DTs) are rare, locally invasive neoplasms that may affect 10-25% of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients. Our aim was to evaluate incidence and clinical presentation among our patients, the potential impact on FAP outcome and to discuss treatment.

CRF family peptides are differently altered by acute restraint stress and chronic unpredictable stress

Behavioural Brain Research, 2014
Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) acts to promote stress-like physiological and behavioral responses and is mainly expressed in the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVN). Urocortin 1 (Ucn1) is also a ligand to CRF type 1 and 2 receptors that has been associated with the stress response.

Family screening in cardiomyopathy - can we predict the unpredictable?

European Journal of Preventive Cardiology
Abstract Introduction Family screening is a key component in the management of patients with a suspicion or confirmed cardiomyopathy. Disease heterogeneity and variable penetrance makes it difficult to predict the likelihood of disease in screened relatives.

A Design Method of Product Family for Unpredictable Customer Requirements Using Fuzzy Sets

2010
A modular structure recommendation method and component reducing method are proposed for the product family design. The customer’s requirements and the product attributes are represented as a fuzzy set and a fuzzy variable using both a point-based and a range-based approach. On the basis of the fuzzy-based representation of the product and the customer

Beyond Being on Call: Time, Contingency, and Unpredictability Among Family Caregivers for the Elderly

Sociological Forum, 2016
This article explores contingency as a central yet underappreciated feature of care work. It does so by focusing on family elder care and the complex temporal interactions between caregiver, care receiver, and healthcare institutions in the U.S. context. Drawing on in‐depth interviews with 19 family caregivers for an elderly relative, I show that their
