Separate research streams have examined (1) teamwork and (2) turnover. We examined the interaction of group beliefs on team member turnover behavior. We hypothesized that groups with more pessimistic attributional styles would experience greater turnover than optimistic attributional style groups. This effect would be independent of influences of group potency and social identity. A study of fifty intact work teams in a manufacturing facility was conducted, with special attention devoted to recommendations for enhancing the validity of multilevel research. The results supported the hypotheses. Implications for attributional processes, shared team mental models, and social capital are discussed.

To explore cognitive and emotional factors that may exacerbate child-abuse potential among domestic violence victims, 80 participants reported on their depression, hopelessness, anxiety, and anger as well as their attachment style and attributional style. Increased emotional difficulties as well as insecure attachment styles were significantly positively correlated with child abuse potential, although depression and anxiety were the strongest predictors. Externalizing blame for the spousal abuse was not associated with abuse risk. Women residing in shelters demonstrated significantly greater abuse risk than those in transitional housing programs, suggesting that greater temporal proximity to the spousal abuse may in part account for the increased abuse potential. Depression and hopeless...

While the full extent of the role of cognitive processes in the treatment of schizophrenia still yet has to be established,4 many of the evidence-based practices widely disseminated by the New York Office of Mental Health incorporate everyday skills that draw upon basic cognitive processes, including illness management and recovery, family psychoeducation, supported employment, and integrated dual diagnosis treatment. All of these different evidencebased practices utilize cognitive skills such as the ability to learn new strategies, create social support networks, manage everyday activities (e.g., money management, using public transportation), manage symptoms, and improve education and knowledge.

While most discussions of incivility in the workplace focus exclusively on deviant behavior and its negative consequences, this paper introduces the behavior of a particular type of employee who has a powerful negative impact on morale, yet remains highly productive on measures of task performance. This employee type is labeled "Dementor" (adapted from a recurring type of character found in J. K. Rowling's series of Harry Potter books). Dementors are high- knowledge, high-skill employees driven to overachieve by low self-esteem and other personality influences that can be exacerbated by situational characteristics. The highly productive Dementor deliberately attempts to lower the productivity of coworkers to alleviate the Dementor' s own performance anxiety. This paper offers an overvie...
