Abstract:
A number of studies have shown the value of using home health visitors in intervention outreach programs for low-income families. This study was designed to examine the relationship between home visitors' and nurses' training/home visiting experience and their decision-making ability as determined by the Defining Issues Test (DIT). The subjects were 36 home visitors, 13 visiting nurses, and 28 controls. A difference was found between the home visitors' and nurses' training/experience levels and group scores on the DIT, F(3, 75) = 3.13, p = 0.03. The nurses were better able to make decisions based on issues of fairness and justice than were the home visitors or the controls. The findings suggest the advisability of providing educational opportunities for home visitors to improve decision-making skills.

Moment of a Couple: Problem Solving
The moment of a couple is found by multiplying the magnitude of one of the forces by the perpendicular distance between the line of action of the two forces. This creates a twisting force, which can be used to rotate an object. The moment of a couple is used to solve problems involving balanced...

Cognitive Learning
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...
