In spring 2005 the United States and Europe squared off over lifting the post-Tiananmen ban on military sales to China. Some argued that this dispute was evidence of a deteriorating transatlantic relationship. But the arms embargo debate is symptomatic of a broader and more fundamental set of challenges, including the rise of China and India, posed by globalization's acceleration and how it has reshaped global security over the past 15 years.

AbstractThe current study examined growth‐to‐growth associations of parental solicitation, knowledge, and peer approval with deviance during early adolescence, using a 4‐wave, 18‐month self‐reported longitudinal data set from 570 Czech early adolescents (58.4% female; Mage = 12.43 years, SD = 0.66 at baseline). Unconditional growth model tests provided evidence of significant changes in the three parenting behaviors and in deviance over time. Multivariate growth model tests showed that declines in maternal knowledge were associated with increases in deviance, while greater increases in parental peer approval were associated with slower increases in deviance. Findings provide evidence of dynamic changes in parental solicitation, knowledge, and peer approval over time, as well as in deviance; additionally, they importantly show how parental knowledge and peer approval covary developmentally with deviance.

Dieses Buch untersucht den Einfluss von Kapitalmarktkommunikation auf die Prognoseleistung von Finanzanalysten. Als empirische Grundlage werden Analystenkonferenzen von Standard & Poor's 500 Unternehmen zwischen den Jahren 2002 und 2014 analysiert. Vordergründig ist die managementwissenschaftliche Fragestellung, in welchem Zusammenhang wertrelevante Mitteilungen und Kapitalmarktreaktionen stehen. Dirk Brunnberg untersucht, welchen Einfluss das Sentiment der Managerkommunikation, das anhand von Empfindungen, Stimmungen und Meinungen transportiert wird, auf Finanzanalysten hat. Aus theoretischer Perspektive stellt der Autor zwei "Denkschulen" gegenüber, die "Impression Management Schule" sowie die "Schule inkrementeller Informationen". Das Ergebnis der empirischen Auswertung zeigt auf, dass das "Sentiment" der Kapitalmarktkommunikation einen Einfluss auf die Prognoseleistung von Finanzanalysten hat, wobei die Zukunftsorientierung in der Kommunikation einen Effekt auf diesen Zusammenhang nimmt.

The current longitudinal study tested the reciprocal relationships between video game play and depressive symptoms among 9,421 adolescents from the Add Health (Mage = 16.15 years, SD = 1.64, 55% female), over 11 years (Waves 2, 3, and 4), ages 16 to 27. Based on structural equation modeling as well as latent growth models, findings indicated that (1) excessive gaming was largely transient over time, from adolescence to early adulthood; (2) excessive gaming predicted increases in depressive symptoms; and (3) in turn, depressive symptoms predicted decreases in gaming over time. Multigroup model tests by sex provided additional evidence that longitudinal relationships from excessive gaming to depressive symptoms were supported for male, but not for female youth.
