  • what statistical test should I use in SPSS for my hypotheses?

    1. Participants will give higher ratings on three likert scales when a character on TV is X as opposed to Y (anova?)

    2. Participants will give high ratings on the same three likert scales when a different character is A as opposed to B.

    Help! We have two different independent variables and three likert scales that will be affected (hypothetically) by the two variables.

  • Is "L'Exploratrice Indomptable" grammatically correct?

    I want to name my custom perfume "The Indomitable Exploreress", but someone suggested using French for the name and I really like the idea. Anyways, is "L'Exploratrice Indomptable" grammatically correct? I haven't studied French in nearly 15 years. Thank you in advance!

  • Can having a mental illness keep you out of China even if you no longer have it?

    Until recently I suffered from several mental "illnesses" that were actually symptoms of a physical problem. When my health improved, my psych symptoms went away. The visa application says if you HAVE any mental illness you will be denied entry-- not if you have had them in the past. Also, do they really lump things like depression and specific phobias with leprosy and TB?!

  • Wheelchair users-- making caster forks tallers with small casters?

    Hi,

    Here's my dilemma:

    I use a manual wheelchair part time for a chronic illness. I'd like to get 26" rear wheels so my arms will need less help pushing, but I'd also like to reduce my front casters down to 4" light up scooter wheels (they are currently 6"). However, I don't want to tip forward too much, and I actually do need the footrests to stay on.

    So assuming I only need my current caster assemblies or forks to be about 2" taller (8" from the bend to where the wheel bolts through, total), how do I do that? Should I just use one of the 8" caster forks with a 4" wheel? Would there be any problems with that? Are there any other solutions?

    Thanks!

  • Anyone tried at home auditory integration therapy CD's/methods for hyperacusis or auditory hypersensitivity?

    I have hyperacusis as a result of sensory issues (no autism or anything, just genetics), and I really want to be able to enjoy things like my boyfriend's concerts, church services, movies in theaters, etc. As mentioned in another question, I have a massive neurological-based spasm/grimace (loss of muscle control) that occurs for just a few seconds when I'm around loud noise until I brace myself. This makes it hard for me to have much of a social life as a teenager.

    I'm trying aroma therapy and pressure/massage therapy, but I'm seriously considering something like the Ease CD's. Does anyone have any experience with any AIT things you can do at home? I'd really like opinions before I invest my limited funds into this.

    Most of the 'cures' for being hypersensitive to loud noises are very expensive and will undo themselves if you're exposed to loud sounds! Isn't that the point of curing myself-- to be around them? Anyone have any ideas?

  • hyperacusis, myoclonus, SID, involuntarily shuddering on loud noises and going down hills?

    I'm still trying to figure out why I shudder/spasm and grimace and want to cover my ears at loud music (normal by other peoples' standards) and when going down hills. I can't find ANYTHING. I feel really isolated and alone right now (normally you can find out about anything on the internet!), so if anyone know about this please speak up!

    It may be psychogenic. Distracting/self-control works to a certain point, and yet it is a physical reaction. I tried listening to really loud (my standards) music for a few seconds, and I was tense, forcing myself not to tear the headphones off. I even had tears streaming down my face. It's just this stupid uncontrollable spasming thing that happens... I lose control at going down hills or loud music (they both feel the same to me, like my stomach is jumping) and spasm. Sometimes I even do it at the thought of music or hills! Anyone know anything about this? I've been researching nonstop.

  • (posting again) help! OT activities for teen with sensory integration dysfunction to get used to loud noises?

    I really need help. Can anyone point me to resources or activities to help me start dealing with my inability to handle loud noises due to sensory integration disorder? I can't deal with them at all. it's completely involuntary, and it's destroying my life. I'm trying EFT, self-massage, deep muscle work, etc., but I'm just kind of making a lot of this stuff up as I go. Please, any ideas you might have would be amazing!

    Thanks so much.
