Revenge among Parents Who Have Broken up Their Relationship through Family Law Courts: Its Dimensions and Measurement Proposal.

ABSTRACT: This work analyzes inter-parental revenge after a breakup process, as it relates to the dark triad of personality, moral disengagement, and sex role ideology. Our objective was to test a predictive model for revenge based on these variables. Additionally, a scale to measure revenge among parents was developed. A sample of 384 participants who had minor children, had broken up their relationship, and had undergone or were undergoing problematic judicial procedures regarding their children completed a survey. They answered to measures of the dark triad of personality (Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy); moral disengagement strategies; sex role ideology, and revenge. An instrument (the R scale), with adequate reliability and validity was developed to test revenge. Results show that revenge behaviors are perpetrated by 1 to 5% of participants. Revenge has three components: revenge through the child, revenge through economic manipulation, and revenge by cutting off communication. Results also show that for males, but not for females, sex role ideology mediates the relationship between the components of the dark triad, moral disengagement, and revenge. This paper aims at providing some insight for the protection of minors from manipulation by means of the Family Courts.

Project description:IntroductionEchocardiographic assessment of the left ventricle (LV) begins with the measurement of linear dimensions that approximate its ellipsoid diameter. These linear dimensions have historically been measured at the basal level of the LV, which is not representative of its true diameter. The objective of this study was to determine the optimal level to measure LV cavity dimensions to more accurately estimate its size and mass.MethodsThe derivation study included 75 patients who had a clinically indicated cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) exam for ischemic heart disease (n = 15), nonischemic cardiomyopathy (n = 25), or normal studies (n = 35). The three-chamber bright blood cine sequence was analyzed using a custom MATLAB program to measure the LV cavity diameter and wall thickness at 15 equidistant levels from base to apex. The linear measurements from each of these levels were compared against the CMR volumetric reference standard. The validation study included 100 patients who had a clinically indicated echocardiogram and CMR within 3 days for ischemic heart disease (n = 20), nonischemic cardiomyopathy (n = 44), and normal or near-normal studies (n = 36). The parasternal long-axis cine sequence was analyzed to measure the LV cavity diameter and wall thickness at the traditional basal level and the midventricular level, which were compared against the CMR volumetric reference standard.ResultsIn both the derivation and validation studies, the midventricular linear dimensions, defined as those located at the true (maximal) diameter of the LV ellipsoid cavity, were found to be more closely correlated with the volumetric reference standard for LV mass, LV end-diastolic size, and LV ejection fraction.ConclusionsMeasurement of linear dimensions at the midventricular level better reflects the ellipsoid geometry of the LV cavity and provides a more accurate estimate of LV mass, size, and systolic function as compared with the traditionally recommended basal level.
