The general model of vulnerability considers those who experience multiple risks to be more vulnerable to poor outcomes than those with one or no risks.
She is the very model of vulnerability, of sincerity, of sheer goodness of heart and soul, of real feelings (even for radios, no kidding).
Hen hopes the mice might provide "a model of vulnerability," which will help researchers pinpoint the changes in the brain that determine how people respond to drugs.
In addition, the Access model of vulnerability (Wisner et al. 2004) implies that if the root causes and resultant pressures are not resolved through recovery, the unsafe condition will continue.
The aim of VuWiki development was not to synthesize a new overarching model of vulnerability, but to address the relations between the existing vulnerability studies through developing an ontology that can ultimately be used as a comparative reference system for vulnerability assessments.
This trend is associated with the proactive approach of harnessing the strengths of communities, as distinct from the traditional reactive, top-down approaches to DRR associated with the deficit model of vulnerability, where disaster victims are seen as "helpless" (Manyena 2009, p. 9).
We then integrate these recent findings into models of adolescent vulnerability to substance use that have previously not addressed sex differences.
While diathesis-stress models of cognitive vulnerability to depression (CVD) in childhood have been tested, few studies have included both parent- and child-reported negative life events, despite the fact that they provide unique information on events that may be relevant to depression risk in boys and girls.
The differences in personality traits between recreational cocaine users and the sibling pairs are striking in light of animal models of addiction vulnerability.
However, the risk factors models supported by meta-analytic studies explain only about 20% of the variance in PTSD; clearly new variables need to be incorporated into models of PTSD vulnerability.
While each study has identified many different loci, these data converge to likely represent true contributions of common allelic variants to polygenic models of genetic vulnerability to polysubstance abuse, and to some psychiatric conditions that share common manifestations (Fig. 4).
