Premenstrual Emotionality

Women & Health (1975)

Randi Koeske

Although historically biological explanations have dominated the professional literature on pre-menstrual behavior and emotionality, the support for any biological hypothesis has been equivocal at best. Explicit incorporation of both physiological and social-cognitive factors as unconfounded independent variables in the same study has been rare. Moreover, the range of behaviors and physical changes for which "premenstrual tension" is the assumed explanation has grown so wide that the utility and plausibility of the explanation may be seriously questioned. The four studies reported here explored a new conceptualization of pre-menstrual emotionality derived from social attribution theory by attempting to establish the sufficiency, plausibility and parsimony of a two-factor theory of pre-menstrual emotion.

A Typology of Outcome Patterns in Three-Variable Models

Journal of Social Service Research (2006)

Gary F. Koeske Randi Koeske

Abstract Developing a lexicon of variable types is essential for effective research, but existing variable typologies use different terms for the same process, and remain incomplete. We offer a typology in which extraneousness is distinguished from mediation and moderation; suppression is subsumed under mediation; and the hypothesized role of X or Z in a three-variable system can be recast. Simple multiple regression and path analytic examples are used to clarify the difference between extraneousness, moderation, and mediation, and suppressive mediation. The practical and theoretical importance of mediation, including a rule-of-thumb for identifying its relevance, is addressed.

Perceptions of professional competence: Cross-disciplinary ratings of psychologists, social workers, and psychiatrists.

American Journal of Orthopsychiatry (1993)

Gary F. Koeske Randi Koeske J. Mallinger

Psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and nurses rated members of the first three disciplines on effectiveness of intervention for six hypothetical clients representing a range of mental health problems. Results revealed within-group bias, with perceptions that professionals sharing raters' own professional affiliation would be more helpful, expert, and warm, as well as the preferred recipient of referrals. Clinical social workers were rated highest on warmth by all raters but lowest on referral intent by raters from other disciplines.
