Drawn from a day school for emotionally disturbed adolescents, seven students who scored in the clinical range on the Conduct subscale of the Conners Teacher Rating Scale took part in an anger management program. The program included psychoeducation, anger discrimination training, logging incidents of anger, and training in prosocial responses to anger. Pre-post assessments provided evidence of positive effects. The adolescents showed significant improvement on both the teacher (p<.03) and the parent (p<.04) versions of the Conduct subscale. They also exhibited a trend toward fewer incidents of physical aggression (p<.06). The implications of these findings for future research are discussed.

Background: Dietary management in diabetic patients is affected by psychosocial factors and the social-environmental context. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) allows patients to consistently report their experiences in real-time over a certain period and across different contexts. Despite the importance of dietary management, only a few EMA studies have been conducted on dietary management and psychosocial factors in patients with type 2 diabetes; further evidence must be gathered.

Given the overall positive influence ethical leaders have on their followers' performance, the literature has largely assumed that ethical leadership also facilitates the performance of leaders themselves. We challenge this assumption by adopting a within-person perspective to reveal more nuanced relationships between distinct forms of daily ethical leadership and daily leader performance. Building on the affect theory of social exchange (Lawler, 2001), we develop a theoretical model that examines the diverging effects of daily promotion- and prevention-focused ethical leadership on daily leader performance through the reciprocal influence of followers' affective reactions.

Objective: To investigate the effects of nursing interventions based on stress and accommodation theory on the mental state and self-management competence of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: Fifty-five T2DM patients admitted to our hospital in 2022 who received standard nursing interventions were selected as the control group, and 61 T2DM patients admitted in 2023 who received stress and adaptation theory-based nursing intervention in addition to standard nursing interventions were enrolled as the observation group. Changes of blood glucose levels, mood state score, self-management competence and life quality were compared between the two groups before and after intervention.
