There is an established association between posttrauma symptom severity (PTSS) and attachment insecurity (anxiety and avoidance). However, few studies have examined this association among community samples of trauma-exposed individuals and identified factors that might moderate these associations. We sought to (a) replicate existing associations between PTSS and attachment insecurity in a community sample of trauma survivors and (b) determine the potential moderating role of support-seeking and coping behaviors. Our sample included 824 trauma-exposed individuals (MPCL-5 = 31.6, SD = 20.0; Mage = 37.4, SD = 13.2; 69.3% female; 79.1% White; 77.2% heterosexual). Participants completed an online survey via Amazon Mechanical Turk. Linear regression and moderation analyses tested the association between PTSS and attachment insecurity and whether support-seeking and coping behaviors moderated these associations. PTSS was positively associated with global attachment anxiety (β = .48, 95% confidence interval [.42, .54]) and global attachment avoidance (β = .06, [.15, .29]). The association between PTSS and attachment avoidance was weaker for people who reported greater instrumental and emotional support-seeking or greater active coping. This study provides evidence for the association between PTSS and attachment insecurity. Findings underscore the need to understand causal mechanisms underlying this association and critically evaluate how existing and future interventions can buffer attachment insecurity in trauma-exposed individuals.

AbstractIn The Collected Sayings from the Four Friends Studio, the sixteenth-century author He Liangjun’s two chapters on painting provides a detailed picture of how literati critics continued to construct artistic lineages and shape hierarchies of criteria for evaluating painting prior to Dong Qichang (1555–1636). Although this text has been widely quoted by art historians, its use has been highly selective, obscuring the larger textual context for He’s remarks. This annotated translation presents the sections on painting found in The Collected Sayings in its entirety. While He Liangjun’s discussion of painting can be repetitious, asynchronous, contradictory, and contains abrupt transitions between topics, clear themes and agendas emerge and are pivotal for the development of later painting theory and criticism.Keywords: He Liangjunpainting criticismSiyouzhai congshuo Notes1 Translator’s Note: The text used for this translation is found in He Liangjun, Si you zhai cong shuo 四友齋叢說, (Beijing: Zhonghua shuju, 1997), pp. 255–269. In my translation of He Liangjun’s On Painting, I have tried to adhere as closely as possible to the author’s original language. Unfortunately He often uses different names (formal [ming 名], style names [zi 字], and various sobriquets [hao 號] for the same painter throughout his text), making it confusing even for readers familiar with pre-modern China. For the sake of consistency, in cases where an artist is mentioned more than once in the text, I have used that person’s formal name throughout, but include a footnote indicating the name found in the original. The first mention of an artist also has a footnote with the person’s dates and brief biographical information. Throughout the citations, I refer to Yu Jianhua, ed., Zhongguo meishujia renming cidian (Shanghai: Shanghai renmin meishu chubanshe, 1985) as ZMRC. While I strove to make the translation as clear as possible in English, I also tried not to deviate too far from the original Chinese grammar; as a result, the overall style of the prose reflects this inevitable compromise. I would like to thank Ann Waltner, Rivi Handler-Spitz and all of the various members of the classical Chinese reading group based at the University of Minnesota and Jennifer Purtle of the University of Toronto for their patient reading of the text and my translation.

This study applies an interdisciplinary approach to the study of Ming period courtesans (ji 妓) and their activities, combining the close reading of literature and Ming era visual presentations, with insights drawn from the fields of modern courtship and nonverbal behavioral studies to investigate their strategies of signaling seduction. In the Ming era, courtesans used a series of seduction strategies to achieve their goals in the process of interacting with male clients, dividing the entire courtship process into four phases: attention catching, interacting, and developing intimacy, lovemaking, and post-passion transition back to mundane interaction. This study pays close attention to the first two phases. The strategies of the first stage include posture readiness, prop handling, gestural movements, and vocal manipulation. The strategies of the second stage include conversations and touching. Developing high-level skills in signaling seduction was crucial to success in the career of a Ming courtesan. The specific strategies and the order in which they occurred did not appear to be fixed, but courtesans had to be sensitive and adaptable depending to the personalities and needs of their guests.

Chinese painting has often been considered timeless and unchanging, an art reliant on the copying of the ancients, and thereby forever reiterative. Closer inspection of the art, theory, and criticism, especially of the seventeenth century, however, challenges these notions. When time and again we see artists referring to the works of earlier acclaimed painters but yet transforming them — or even subverting them — we must ask what values are being promoted. In this essay, it is argued that a shift occurred in painting criticism and practice from the sixteenth century to the seventeenth, that seventeenth-century critical values emphasized the contemporary, new, and different, and that this resulted in an expanded canon of painting.
