The current investigation examines insider/subjective and outsider/objective perspectives on forgiveness. Two hundred and thirty-two undergraduates in dating relationships were asked to describe situations in which they had been hurt by their romantic partners. Both subjective and objective ratings of event severity predicted forgiveness. In addition, rejection sensitivity proved consequential in moderating the impact of objective severity whereas responsibility attributions moderated the impact of subjective severity ratings. These results suggest the need to adopt a more complex model of forgiveness, and that as researchers develop increasingly sophisticated interventions to promote forgiveness, it will be important to consider both objective and subjective influences.

The purpose of this study was to describe physical activity (PA) behaviors and physical functioning of prehypertensive and Stage I hypertensive African American Women (AAW) and to examine the relationships between PA behavior, physical functioning, personal factors, and behavior-specific influences. Pender's Health Promotion Model was the conceptual framework for the study. A cross-sectional design and convenience sample were used. The PA domain where the greatest amount of time was spent was in work-related activity, followed by household, leisure time, and transportation activity. Personal factors most strongly correlated to lower PA were greater body mass index and waist circumference. AAW perceived moderate barriers to PA and minimal family and friend social support for PA. Future interventions need to focus on removing barriers to and improving social support for PA among AAW.

In this article, we argue that HBCU composition faculty members impact the composition field through our innovative and unorthodox tactics that we label cross-boundary discourse, discursive homeplacing, and safe harboring. Our goal is to show that HBCUs are unique sites of inquiry and poised to be at the forefront of conversations about race and writing because of our institutional contexts and the student populations with whom we work each day.

Sunm~aryA general circle theorem is obtained which not only unifies all existing circle theorems, but allows new ones to be deduced. The results axe extended to allow for certain other finite boundaries, thus providing simple solutions for problems involving difficult boundary shapes. w 1. Introducti6.n. A general form of the circle theorem is here presented which no,~ only allows all the existing circle theorems to be quickly derived, but also permits-the deduction of new ones. This theorem is also extended to include certain other boundaries along which either the potential function or the current function takes a constant value. This greatly facilitates the solution of problems previously treated by ad hoc methods.The theorem was first enunciated by Milne-Thomson 1) in a hydrodynamical context and a corresponding theorem has been stated for electrical theory 9.), but a much more general circle theorem is now given which permits extension into other fields.
