The primary outcome for consistent product use was also taken from the acceptability form administered at the closing visit: those that reported using the diaphragm and gel (combined) for every sex act since the start of the study were categorized as "consistent users" and all others as "inconsistent users".
We chose an outcome measure for consistent product use from the acceptability form that may have been less reliable than the Computer-based self-administered (ACASI) variables, however, we confirmed that the overall rate of consistent use reported by FTFI was congruent and virtually identical with our ACASI data which collected consistent use in the past 3 months [ 5, 35].
Patients also accessed messages from the respiratory research nurse demonstrating the acceptability of this form of communication with a healthcare professional 1.
"What are society's attitudes concerning the acceptability of certain forms of violence against women?" she asked.
Local context can have impact on the acceptability of new forms of care and on their clinical- and cost-effectiveness.
These analyses also allow for investigation of whether the semantic predictor accounts for variance in both (a) the unacceptability of ungrammatical un- forms and (b) the acceptability of grammatical un- forms, or simply differentiates the two classes of verbs (i.e., those that may not/may undergo prefixation with un-).
The second important finding was that the corpus frequency of the verb in bare form was, for the two older groups, a significant negative predictor of the acceptability of the un- form (in the main analysis and at least one by-verb-type analysis).
In his opening for the defense, attorney Brandon Sua argued that the charges of sexual assault should be dropped because Mack's profession as a porn performer had created "the desire, the preference, the acceptability towards a particular form of sex activities that were outside of the norm".
During both the training and test trials, it was emphasized to participants that the task was to rate the acceptability of the verb form, not the entire sentence.
The acceptability of a particular form (e.g., *unsqueeze) reflects the semantic compatibility of the verb and the construction slot into which it is inserted (e.g., Bowerman, 1981), via a process known variously as "fusion" (Goldberg, 1995: 50), "unification" (Kay & Fillmore, 1999), or "elaboration" (Langacker, 2000).
Children aged 5 6 (N = 18), 9 10 (N = 18), and adults (N = 18) rated the acceptability of un- prefixed forms of 48 verbs (and, as a control, bare forms).
