abstract = {While aging is supposed to reduce the risk of recidivism among sex offenders, the risk level measured by an instrument should rather increase with age. This study aims to evaluate the impact of age at release on sexual recidivism rates and the predictive validity of six instruments (VRAG, SORAG, RRASOR, Static-99, Static -2002 and MnSOST-R) for 372 sex offenders divided in three sub-groups (child molesters, rapists and mixed offenders). In general, the results indicate that the relationship between age and recidivism present a quadratic form with increased rates of recidivism among young offenders, followed by a plateau and a decrease from the mid-forties. However, this relationship varies depending on the type of sex offenders. The average scores for the instruments decrease gradually as the offenders would advance in age, while the predictive validity of these tools is not influenced by the offenders’ age. However, after an adjustment of the instruments scores depending on the offenders types, the results suggest that the instruments are slightly better for older offenders. © 2016, Polymedia Meichtry SA.

abstract = {Previous studies have linked telepresence to the strength of the therapeutic relationship experienced during telepsychotherapy. This finding comes as a surprise for many people who have been involved in a teleconference meeting, where telepresence is often considered weak. The aim of this study is to (re)evaluate the impact of emotional engagement on telepresence. Participants were randomly assigned to one of the two conditions: (a) emotionally charged verbal exchange first (followed by a more neutral verbal exchange), or (b) emotionally neutral verbal exchange first (followed by an emotionally charged verbal exchange). A distraction task was performed between the two verbal exchanges in videofoncerence. Results showed that verbal exchanges involving stronger emotions increase telepresence. These results may explain why telepresence is so high in telepsychotherapy.},
