Crypto truths - 3rd party custody is a scam!

3rd party custody is a scam!

It may work sometimes, but it does not truly work. 

Don't use 3rd party custody.

Tonic immobility vs Freezing - Not the same!

Measurement 

The Tonic Immobility subscale of the Tonic Immobility Scale (TIS-TI) (Fusé et al., 2007) was used to measure immobility reactions during trauma. The TIS-TI subscale contains 7 self-report items which are scored on a 7-point Likert scale, ranging from 0 (not at all) to 6 (extremely/very much). Total scores range from 0 to 42. An example item is “Rate the degree to which you were unable to move even though not restrained”. Internal consistency was acceptable to strong for TIS-TI in larger samples (Cronbach's α = 0.71 to 0.94) (Fusé et al., 2007Hagenaars, 2016De Kleine et al., 2018). Following Hagenaars (2016) we used two items of the TIS subscale for Fear to assess peritraumatic fear (TIS-Fear). An example item is “Rate the extent to which you felt feelings of fear/panic during the event”. The original Fear subscale consisted of 3 items. However, one item of this subscale assesses peritraumatic dissociation and did not load on the fear factor in several studies (Abrams et al., 2009Hagenaars, 2016). Following Hagenaars (2016), this item was used to assess peritraumatic dissociation (TIS-Diss; “Rate the extent to which you felt detached from what was going on around you during the event”). Total scores range from 0 to 12 for TIS-Fear and 0 to 6 for TIS-Diss.

What causes others to be envious?

Envy is what happens when you do not bring others up, or you take pride in the unearned!
