Replicated and extended aspects of determinations of reliability and validity for the State version of the Youth-Depression Adjective Check List. Students from Grades 9 through 12 (64 girls and 41 boys) completed the State version and the Adolescent Activities Checklist on each of 12 consecutive days and completed the Trait version, the Reynolds Adolescent Depression Scale, the Multiple Affect Adjective Check List--Revised Grade 6, and the Adolescent Activities Checklist at the beginning and the end of the study. Good reliability and validity of the State version were confirmed and extended, and preliminary information on characteristics of the Trait version of the Youth-Depression Adjective Check List also was presented. The State version seems suitable for use in research with adolescents and preadolescents. More study of the Trait version is recommended.

This research paper investigates the variable use of intensifiers in Ottawa English. Following the key tenets of the variationist approach, we analysed data from Ottawa English Corpus in order to check the correlation between a number of social (age & gender) and linguistic (syntactic position, semantic class, positive/negative and emotional/non-emotional values of the intensified adjectives) factors and the choice of intensifiers. The findings reveal that "really," "so," "very," and "pretty" are the most commonly used intensifiers in this English variety, demonstrating specific associations with certain types of adjectives.

To investigate the seasonal changes in physiological and psychological parameters of stress in collegiate swimmers. Fifteen NCAA Division I swimmers (8 men) participated in a tethered anaerobic swim test to determine physiological responses in an ecologically-relevant, graded exercise test. Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Survey (WURSS-21), Activation-Deactivation Adjective Check List (AD-ACL), Daily Analysis of Life Demands of Athletes (DALDA), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were assessed at post-season in April (V), the end of off-season in June (V), and pre-season in October (V).
