This paper explores the utility of concepts drawn from psychosocial theory as predictors of the proneness to mental distress among the residential population of a large suburban council estate (Wythenshawe, South Manchester).
Second, consistent with existing theory, significant predictors of perceived risk were voluntariness, immediacy, catastrophic potential, dread, severity of consequences and control, as well as Internet experience and frequency of Internet use.
This study investigates and presents a new structural model for determinants of AD, linking types of motivation, students' attitudes, personality traits, and cultural backgrounds (presented by country according to Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory) as predictors of AD in the context of traditional and distance-learning courses in higher education.
To validate the meaningfulness of the QIs the researchers [ 31] examined the strength of the relationship between the QIs and measures of practices, processes structures and outcomes, which, in theory, were predictors of high performance on specific QIs.
To examine sex differences in theory-based predictors of leisure time physical activity (LTPA) among men and women with spinal cord injury, and secondarily, to identify factors that might explain any sex differences in social cognitions.
This study examined indices of personal and social resources drawn from social learning, behavioral economics, and social control theories as predictors of medium- and long-term alcohol use disorder outcomes.

Five theory-based predictors and two outcome variables were assessed.
To date few studies have investigated theory-based predictors, likely to impact parental screen media restriction for their child or children's screen media use.
The parametric analyses revealed that the parameters of the unidimensional difference (estimated using cumulative prospect theory) were poor predictors of dMPFC activation in the preferential choice but were good predictors of dMPFC activation in the judgment-based choice.
