6. Select the most accurate statement about people with spinal cord injury (SCI): Thanks to strong social programs, very few people with SCI are living in poverty. Individuals with an annual income of US$25,000 or more have fewer health problems than individuals with an annual income of less than US$25,000. Challenges associated with full-time employment reduce overall quality of life for people with SCI. Longitudinal data indicate that more than half of individuals with SCI are employed following rehabilitation from injury.
7. Select the most accurate statement about positive organizational behavior (POB) and positive psychology: Research focused on the general population suggests that POB and positive psychology constructs are most likely not linked to employment outcomes. There is probably too much research focused on the relationship between POB/positive psychology constructs and employment outcomes for people with disabilities, including people with SCI. There is a scarcity of research applying POB and positive psychology concepts to improve employment outcomes of people with disabilities, including people with SCI. The rehabilitation literature is saturated with research investigating the potential for POB and positive psychology concepts to improve employment outcomes for people with disabilities, including people with SCI.
8. Select the most accurate statement about attachment profiles: Attachment is a relatively fluid construct: Individuals’ attachment profiles tend to change frequently based on situational dynamics. Attachment is a relatively fluid construct, and individuals’ attachment profiles seem to have little effect on behavior. Attachment profiles are largely established during infancy and early childhood; however, attachment-related behavior can be modified. Attachment profiles are largely established during infancy and early childhood, and attachment-related behavior cannot be modified.
9. Select the most accurate statement about hope profiles: Unlike attachment profiles, hope profiles are transient and amenable to intervention. Like attachment profiles, hope profiles are largely established during infancy and early childhood. There seems to be little relationship between individuals’ hope profiles and their behavior. Hope profiles are largely comprised of emotional responses to past experiences.
10. Select the most accurate statement about the relationship between hope, attachment, and employment: Results from the present study indicated that attachment and hope were significantly related, that attachment and hope were predictive of full-time employment, and that hope was a significant mediator of the relationship between attachment and full-time employment. Results from the present study indicated that attachment and hope were not related, and that neither attachment nor hope was predictive of full-time employment. Results from the present study indicated that attachment and hope were significantly related, that attachment and hope were predictive of full-time employment, but that hope was not a significant mediator of the relationship between attachment and full-time employment.
