Abstract:

This is a descriptive study of psycho-social environmental characteristics of community residential facilities which are used to house and treat former psychiatric patients in the community setting. The purpose of this study was to determine the adequacy and appropriateness of the community residential facilities available to this population. The Community-Oriented Program Environment Scale (COPES), was administered to staff at four community residential facilities in South Central Alabama. These homes were specifically designed to serve the needs of deinstitutionalized psychiatrically impaired individuals in our society. The results of this investigation revealed a high degree of diversity in the program operations of the commu nity residential facilities participating in this study. The researcher also found that there is a lack of consistency in the way different staff members, employed by the same agency, preceived their program orientation and opera tions. The results also indicated very few community residences are providing the ideal psycho-social environment for former psychiatric patients.

Abstract:

Tese de Doutoramento em Psicologia na área de especialização de Psicologia das Organizações apresentada ao ISPA - Instituto Universitário
A investigação recente acerca de grupos e equipas tem-se desenvolvido fundamentalmente em torno de duas tradições: a dos constructos psicológicos partilhados, primordialmente ligada à psicologia e a da perspetiva estrutural, mais ligada à sociologia, aos estudos organizacionais e à teoria acerca da análise de redes sociais. Esta tese pretende integrar estas duas perspetivas numa lógica mais holística, aqui apelidada de perspetiva psico-estrutural no estudo de grupos e equipas. Assim, esta tese tem como objetivo explorar a relação entre a relação entre a segurança psicológica, a liderança autêntica e a análise de redes sociais. A relação entre estas três componentes permitiu o desenvolvimento de três artigos baseados numa visão psico-estrutural das dinâmicas dos grupos. Por fim, esta tese teve como objetivo estender o estudo da segurança psicológica, liderança autêntica e redes sociais ao contexto do ensino superior. Esta opção parte duma perspetiva que realça a importância do desenvolvimento de conhecimento dentro da psicologia numa lógica multi-contextual. Com vista ao alcance destes objetivos foram submetidos três artigos para três revistas científicas de cariz internacional. O primeiro artigo, já publicado, diz respeito ao desenvolvimento de um modelo conceptual de influência das redes sociais no desenvolvimento da segurança psicológica do grupo. Neste sentido, apresenta proposições relacionadas com a influência dos membros centrais das redes na segurança psicológica dos grupos e equipas, através de um processo de contágio social. O segundo artigo é de natureza empírica e tem como principal objetivo estudar a relação entre a liderança autêntica, a segurança psicológica e a performance académica de alunos do ensino superior. Os resultados deste artigo permitem concluir que tanto a segurança psicológica como a liderança autêntica têm um impacto positivo na performance académica. Testou-se ainda o papel da segurança psicológica enquanto mediadora da relação entre a liderança autêntica e a performance académica, sendo que, no entanto, os resultados não suportam a existência deste efeito de mediação. Por fim, o terceiro artigo desta tese tem um formato empírico e teve como objetivo dar seguimento aos estudos sugeridos no segundo artigo ao avançar com a densidade enquanto medida de rede social como uma variável importante na relação entre segurança psicológica, ensino autêntico e performance académica. Uma das contribuições deste artigo prende-se com o desenvolvimento do conceito de ensino autêntico (authentic teachership) a partir da teoria acerca de liderança autêntica. Os resultados deste estudo permitem concluir que existe uma relação positiva entre a densidade e o ensino autêntico, a segurança psicológica e a performance académica. No global, os resultados dos estudos incluídos nesta tese ilustram as oportunidades que se podem abrir na compreensão das dinâmicas dos grupos e equipas, através da utilização de uma abordagem psico-estrutural. Mais concretamente, os resultados dos estudos incluídos nesta tese permitem concluir que a liderança autêntica e a segurança psicológica estão positivamente relacionadas com as redes sociais, e mais explicitamente com a densidade, e que exercem um impacto positivo na performance académica de estudantes do ensino superior. Desta forma, a presente tese contribui para o desenvolvimento de uma nova abordagem não só no estudo da performance académica de estudantes do ensino superior mas também na compreensão na importância das dinâmicas de grupos e equipas em geral.
Recent research about groups and teams have been developed mainly around two traditions: psychological shared constructs, fundamentally from psychology and the structural perspective, more related with sociology, organisational studies and social network analysis. This thesis aims to integrate these two perspectives in a single and holistic one, here named by psycho-structural perspective on the study of groups and teams. On the other hand, this thesis has the objective of exploring the relationship between psychological safety, authentic leadership and social network analysis. The relationship between these three components allowed the development of three articles based on a psycho-structural view of group dynamics. Finally, this thesis has the objective of extend the study of psychological safety, authentic leadership and social networks to the higher education context. This choice is based on a perspective that highlights the importance of the development of psychological knowledge taking into account a multi-contextual perspective. Three articles have been submitted to international journals to achieve these objectives. The first article presents a conceptual model about the influence of social network on the development of psychological safety. Thus it presents several propositions related with the influence of central members of social networks on the psychological safety of groups and teams through a process social contagion. The second article is an empirical article and has as the main objective study the relationship between authentic leadership, psychological safety and academic performance of students from higher education. Based on the results of this article we may conclude that both psychological safety and authentic leadership have a positive impact on the academic performance. It was also teste the role of psychological as a mediator of the relationship between authentic leadership and academic performance. However the results don’t support the existence of this mediation effect. Finally, the third article of this thesis is an empirical article and has the objective of complete the third article by advancing with network density as an important variable on the relationship between psychological safety, authentic teachership and academic performance. One of the contributions of this article is the development of the concept of authentic teachership based on the theory about authentic leadership. The results of this study support the existence of a positive relationship between Globally the results of the studies included in this thesis illustrate the opportunities that may emerge for the development of the understanding of group and team dynamics through the use of a psycho-structural approach. More concretely, the results included in this thesis conclude that authentic leadership and psychological safety are positively related with social networks, more precisely with network density, and have a positive impact on the academic performance of students from higher education. Therefore, this thesis contributes for the development of a new approach, not only on the study of academic performance of students from higher education, but also on the understanding of group and team dynamics in general.

Abstract:

The economic, demographic and social changes of the latter half of the C20th have influenced the experience of individuals now at 'midlife'. Arguably the impact of these changes has been more profound for women; specifically in the UK for those educated to be the wives, mothers and carers of industrial Britain (Newsom, 1963). Now around 50 years old this group of women are likely to experience a lengthy period of 'postmaternity' (Sheriff and Weatherall, 2009) extending to over thirty years in many cases. This research considers the experience of this metaphorically entitled 'telescopic' cohort (Goldstein and Schlag, 1999). The major corpus of age related research assumes a linear developmental progression of life stages (Erikson, 1951, 1968; Gould, 1978; Levinson, 1978; Levinson, 1996; Klohnen et al., 1996; Miner-Rubinio, 2004). Drawing on life course theory (Elder, 1995; Runyan, 1982; Super, 1980) enables this research to explore how women may have changed assumptions about themselves and their expectations as the social world has changed around them, moreover offers an alternative to the essentialist, linear, deterministic models of ageing. This feminist poststructuralist examination of the experience of women at 'midlife' is divided into two parts; firstly the 'lived life' which examines demographic changes, and drawing on material from 'Jackie' magazine, considers discourses of femininity and the expectations for, and of, girls. The 'told story' is then explored using narrative interview material. How women 'story' their lives and their understanding of 'self' at midlife is examined within the context of the changing world and their ageing bodies. The research revealed that the experience of 'midlife' for this cohort of women is narrated as a time of change in social circumstances with some 'gains' and some 'losses', however it is not storied as a time of inevitable 'crisis'. Moreover despite the plethora of literature portraying the menopause as problematic, this was not supported by the interview material.

Abstract:

Cette contribution, qui s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une recherche-action menée sur différents terrains d’enquête, se propose, dans une perspective comparative, d’examiner les caractéristiques et l’apport de dispositifs ou de programmes de soutien et d’entraide mis en œuvre par des communautés locales africaines afin de prendre en charge de jeunes enfants victimes de sévices graves, livrés à eux-mêmes et en proie à la vulnérabilité ou à la maltraitance. Trois pays, en développement ou émergents, servent ici de support à l’argumentation : le Botswana, confronté au sida, à la famine et à la sècheresse ; le Liberia, meurtri par la guerre civile et son cortège de violences ; le Maroc, enfin, avec – en arrière-plan – la problématique de la pauvreté et l’évolution du statut de la femme. L’approche privilégiée, de type qualitatif, se situe au carrefour de la psychologie sociale et de la sociologie des représentations et des identités, la méthodologie retenue reposant sur une analyse classique en termes de forces et de faiblesses, d’opportunités et de blocages. Les relations de partenariat sont également à l’honneur, ainsi que le processus de mobilisation des ressources et les mécanismes de résilience
This contribution, which is part of a research-action carried out on different fields of investigation, proposes, in a comparative perspective, to examine the characteristics and the contribution of devices or programs of support and self-help implemented by African local communities to care for children who are victims of severe trauma, including orphaned, abuse and poverty, who are left to their own capabilities or who are vulnerable to maltreatment.Three countries, developing or emerging, serve as support for this argument: Botswana, facing deaths from AIDS and famine and drought; Liberia, bruised by civil war and its continued violence; Morocco, finally, with - in the background - the problem of precarity and the evolution of the status of women.Our approach, both quantitative and qualitative, is at the crossroads of social psychology and the sociology of representations and identities. The chosen methodology is based on a classical analysis in terms of strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and blockages. Partnership relationships are also honored, as is the resource mobilization process, and resilience mechanisms

The purpose of this study was to gain an in-depth understanding of selected psycho-social factors associated with the gold medal winning peak performance of the 1998 Women's Olympic Ice Hockey Team. These psycho-social factors were grouped into six specific purposes: cohesion and coaching, team confidence, team-specific ideal performance states, individual confidence, individual task-specific ideal performance states, Olympic stress, and coping methods. In-depth interviews using a two-part interview guide were conducted with all 20 team members. Hierarchical content analysis procedures were used to analyze the interview data. Method triangulation in the form of quantitative instruments, source triangulation, analyst triangulation and member checks were utilized to support the credibility of the interview data. Results showed that the team was highly cohesive and confident. Primary sources of cohesion were the commitment to a common goal, mutual trust and acceptance, and coaching actions. Cohesion was considered to contribute significantly to performance. Sources of confidence were performance accomplishments, coaching, cohesion and perceived readiness. The team reported a very strong relationship with the head coach, who was considered highly effective. Collectively, the team did experience task-specific, ideal peliormance states at various times in selected games at the Olympics. On an individual level , athletes reported high confidence based on peliormance accomplishments, constructive feedback, role clarity, and effective preparation. Due to their preparation the athletes experienced few stressors and coped effectively with them. lndi vidually, the athletes also experienced ideal peliormance states during selected games at the Olympics. However, these states were fragile and not present for the entire duration of a game. The description of taskspecific, ideal peliormance states, collectively as well as individually, matched Csikszentmihalyi's (1990) theoretical model of flow. Unambiguous feedback was a particularly salient flow dimension for these team sport athletes. From a team development perspective, the team achieved the performing stage of its development at the Olympics characterized by high cohesion and confidence, role clarity, acceptance, and commitment as well as strong leadership and ideal peliormance states. Strength and limitations as well as practical implication of these findings with regards to preparing the team for 2002 were discussed.

Abstract:

Includes abstract.
Includes bibliographical references.
Young coloured women, particularly within the South African post-Apartheid generation, face a number of psycho-social and economic events and circumstances which are unfavourable, more commonly known as risk factors. These factors include risk of physical harm, the phenomenon of teenage pregnancy, economic and physical deprivation, racial and gender stereotypes, unequal roles and responsibilities between girls and boys, family dysfunction and exposure to or involvement in substance abuse. The community of Mitchell’s Plain in the Western Cape, with its’ historical origin as a ‘dumping site’ for the coloured people of Cape Town during the implementation of the Group Areas Act, is one that is particularly characterized by these many social challenges. Nevertheless, some children and young people do well in life, especially in academic domains, in spite of inadequate, traumatic or less opportune experiences. They have proved themselves to be resilient. The researcher aimed to understand the factors which act as both hindering and supportive elements in a young women’s capacity to overcome these difficulties and excel academically, demonstrating academic resilience. These supportive elements are theoretically described as protective factors.

Abstract:

This thesis explores tentative hypotheses relating to four conceptually related factors of potential importance in young people's lives; factors which it argues are little acknowledged in the mainstream British literature of psychology and psychiatry. These factors are: 1) young people's 'Relationship with Reality' ( - this is a new concept proposed by this thesis - ) which is characterised by the content, intention and effect of an individual's accumulated cognitive and behavioural traits and to what extent these traits invest in real-life or distort or avoid it. 2) young people's sense of having an 'Occupational Identity'. 3) young people's experience of Careers Education and Careers Guidance. 4) young people's experience of being 'mentored'. The thesis explores whether these factors are self-reported as potentially important in the lives of some young people, and whether such self-reports differ significantly between individuals. A cross-sectional, retrospective comparative study of 18 to 22 year olds is presented, in which non-randomly sampled participants were assigned to three groups according to their apparent levels of measurable achievement (academic, professional and extra-curricular}: High-Achievement, Moderate-Achievement, and Under-Achievement (Imprisonment). As part of an initial exploration, 50 HAs and 18 UAs were each interviewed for two hours; a 75 minute self-completion questionnaire was then administered to a new set of participants: 68 UA individuals (Imprisoned Young Offenders), 75 MA individuals (Undergraduates), 94 HA individuals (Undergraduates). The Eysenck Personality Questionnaire and also the Short Imaginal Processes Inventory (a well-established measure of daydreaming) were administered among 50 UAs and 50 HAs to gauge the possible overlap of these established scales with the proposed concept of a 'Relationship with Reality' personality dimension and its component factors. Only moderately low correlations were found. It is acknowledged that adequate levels of validity and reliability are difficult to achieve when investigating the self-report of sensitive and complex issues, and that generalisations cannot be made from a non-random sample. With these caveats, the findings support the concept of a Relationship with Reality personality dimension, and suggest that all 4 factors studied in this thesis may be amenable to scientific research, are conceptually related, and were self-reported as potentially important in at least a substantial minority of the participants' lives. The thesis is inspired by and is integrated into a body of existing literature that includes psychoanalytic, humanistic, cognitive and behaviourist perspectives on 'forensic', 'normal', and in particular 'high-achievement' psychology and psychiatry from Britain and the United States.

Abstract:

Consumers now more than ever are concerned by a teeming pool of social and cultural powers-Social Media Influencers (SMI)-that influence their purchasing decisions. Fashion as one of the most extensive industries in the world has spurred the rise of fashion SMIs on Instagram. As such , identifying that previous literature has studied female and male consumers jointly, this thesis thus, by employing a psycho-social methodological approach and a Consumer Culture theory perspective, takes a rather explorative modus operandi in trying to understand the perception of Swedish female consumer toward fashion SMIs while identifying the factor related to fashion SMIs that contour Swedish female consumers perceptions and facilitate purchasing decisions. Some of the findings are 1) fashion SMIs that are always presenting their perfect self are considered mischievous, 2) fashion SMIs consumers to discover their true selves, 3) fashion SMIs expertise is highly valued when seen outside a collaboration, 4) fashion SMIs trustworthiness is enhanced when they also present the flaws of their lives,5)consumers are rational buyers and regardless of the great influence of fashion SMIs, they finalize their purchasing decisions based on their needs, product attributes, and opinions received from friends and family.

Abstract:

Our modern world, and its relative stability, is facing two major threats. The first one is the depletion of fossil fuels resources that feed millions of trucks and boat worldwide, carrying goods from one side of the planet to another. The second one is climate change which, if not limited, will provoke drastically changes to our known environment. One way, that may be the most efficient, to mitigate both threats is to pull people out of their cars, and, to this end, The European White Paper (2011) on transport highlights the essential role of ITS. Today, many cities have deployed multimodal real-time information systems, but few have assessed the impacts of those systems on traveller behaviour. This global context guided the investigation made in the present thesis: in order to analyse potential modal shift induced by the introduction of multimodal navigators, we had to understand psychological factors of decision making. Chapter 1 proposed an extensive review of the current knowledge and state of the art of social psychology as applied in pro-environmental behaviours. We understood some concepts, highlighted some theoretical and methodological flaws that led us to use, though restrictively, some old-fashioned concept of attitude together with some – insufficiently recognised – powerful methodological tools that constitutes the IRT. The objective of this thesis was twofold: 1) assessing the validity of a general attitude measures, in the sense of Campbell and understanding if the generally adopted measure of attitude is compelling within traditional frameworks derived from social psychology theories; 2) make use of psychological determinants influencing modal choice to highlight which segment of the population is more likely to perform a modal shift from cars to public transport or soft modes. To this end, the research was divided in three methodological step: 1) fitting a Rasch model on the General Ecological Behaviour in order to obtain a valid measure of the attitude toward the environment; 2) psycho-social correlational model comparison using Structural Equation Modelling in order to extract the most determining factors behind decision making; 3) a psycho-social based segmentation of ATIS potential users, that would help in identifying the potentiality of ATIS in inducing a modal shift. This research contributed, firstly, in gathering evidence that a wider use of IRT for psychological measurement may be a benefit for the scientific community. Secondly, some newly developed psychological constructs, based on specific values, have been shown to have a significant influence on travel behaviour. We hope that this contribution will allow some other use of specific values and innovative factors research. Finally, we suggest that up to 10% of our sample population may be induced toward a greener urban mobility. As the Opticities research project - within which this thesis has been conducted - is still ongoing, further investigation will be made in the near future. The analysis of in-itinere and ex-post dataset will allow us to understand whether or not people have modified their mobility patterns using the multimodal navigator TUeTO.

Abstract:

The Master Paper consists of an introduction and four parts: a) the psychological features of the groups of people; b) the psychosocial atmosphere in the class; c) motivation to study and its explanatory theories; d) the analysis of the correlation of a psycho-social atmosphere of the class and motivation to study in the primary school. The conclusions as well as recommendations for teachers are at the end of the paper. An appropriate environment stimulating the development of a creative, active and able to socialize personality, who would attempt to know not only the world around but also himself that is what should be established in schools. The question is how to reach this goal, are the children satisfied with the emotional atmosphere of the class, relations with the classmates as well as the teachers? What is the impact does it have on their study progress, motivation and how does the psychosocial atmosphere of the class interrelates with the child‘s willingness (or unwillingness) to learn? The purpose of the analysis is to investigate the features and interrelation of psychosocial atmosphere of the class, the motivation to learn and the child‘s perspective towards himself as a pupil in the III – IV grades. The fundamental goals of the paper: to clarify the motivation to learn among the III-IV grades children, the perspective of the children towards their own selves as pupils, the psychosocial atmosphere of the class and the impact of changes.

Abstract:

Background: Hypertension (HTN), also referred to as a silent killer, has been the leading cause of mortality in the world for more than 10 years. Uncontrolled HTN is associated with cardiovascular complications like stroke, heart failure and chronic kidney disease. Disparity is noted in hypertension prevalence, blood pressure control, cardiovascular burden and adherence to hypertension treatment regimens, with worse consequences for Blacks/African Americans compared to their racial counterparts. Multiple factors account for these differences and include biological, psychological and socio-cultural issues. Despite the many salient factors identified to be associated with adherence to hypertensive treatment regimens, as well as current strategies in place, high cardiovascular burden from uncontrolled HTN persist in Black communities.

Purpose: To determine the strongest factors associated with adherence to hypertension treatment regimens among all of the most salient factors identified by prior research, within the context of a community sample of Black/African Americans residing in an urban setting.

Design: Cross-sectional, correlation design.

Theoretical Framework: The Biopsychosocial model framework. Data Analysis: Data analysis consisted of descriptive and bivariate analysis of the predictor variables. Significant variables was analyzed using multiple linear regression model to identify the strongest variables predicting adherence.

Result: Four factors remained significant predictors to adherence in the final regression model: Annual income [$10,000-$20,000 (β= .21, p = .04); annual income $40,001-$80,000 (β = .25, p = .03), Full-time work status (β= -.23 p = .04), Last blood pressure within normal range (β= .19, p = .02) and Depressive symptoms (β = -.20, p = .02).

Implications: The identification of mainly inter-related psychosocial factors (depressive symptoms, income and employment status) as significant predictors of adherence in this sample has implications for priority psychosocial assessment (depression screening in particular), when rendering care to hypertensive Black/African American patients.

Abstract:

Abstracts Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy versus self-help for students with clinical perfectionism: A pilot randomised study Objective: This pilot study compared a mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) intervention with a self-help guide based on a cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) approach for students with clinical perfectionism. Method: Participants were randomised to either MBCT or self-help. Questionnaires were completed at baseline, eight weeks later (the primary outcome point, corresponding to the end of MBCT) and at ten-week follow-up. Results: Post-intervention intention-to-treat (ITT) analyses identified that MBCT participants (n = 28) had significantly lower levels of unhealthy perfectionism and stress than self-help participants (n = 32). There was also significant MBCT superiority for changes in unhelpful beliefs about emotions, rumination, mindfulness, self-compassion and decentering. At ten-week follow-up, effects were maintained in the MBCT group and both ITT and completer (per-protocol) analyses showed superior MBCT outcomes for unhealthy perfectionism and daily impairment caused by perfectionism. Mediational analysis showed that pre-post changes in self-compassion mediated the group differences in pre-post changes in clinical perfectionism. Conclusions: MBCT is a promising intervention for students with clinical perfectionism, which may result in larger improvements than self-help. The findings require replication with a larger sample. Session-by-session outcome monitoring in CAMHS: Clinicians beliefs The CYP-IAPT programme emphasises the meaningful contribution session-by-session routine outcome monitoring (ROM) can make to clinical practice and its importance in highlighting services’ effectiveness. Two studies on issues related to the implementation of ROM in children’s services were conducted. Study one was qualitative; twelve CAMHS professionals participated in focus groups. Themes identified included the idea that ROM could provide objectivity, could be collaborative and empowering. Concerns included how measures may adversely influence therapeutic sessions and how the information may be used by the service. These themes were used to develop a questionnaire about professional’s experience of and views on session-by-session ROM. In study two, 59 professionals from four CAMHS teams completed the questionnaire. It was found that only 6.8% reported “almost always” utilising session-by-session ROM. Detailed analysis of questionnaire responses suggested two factors reflecting the perceived negative and positive impact of session-by-session ROM. It was found that clinicians who currently use session-by-session ROM hold stronger positive and negative beliefs than clinicians who do not. This study suggests that session-by-session ROM is not currently routine practice within CAMHS and highlights the importance of considering how this practice can be best implemented within this setting with reference to clinician attitudes. Psycho-social risk factors for Generalised Anxiety Disorder: An exploratory literature review of current knowledge Research around worry and its central role within Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) has primarily focused on characteristics and treatment, with little investigation into factors involved in its development. The current paper reviews literature to explore our existing understanding of risk factors involved in the aetiology of worry and GAD and briefly reviews how well current cognitive models account for identified aetiological factors. Collectively, current cognitive models vary in their focus on, and explanation of, aetiological factors of worry and GAD and require further theoretical development. Further research within this field focused on the role of parenting and insecure attachment styles, life events and the course of symptoms across gender and the lifespan will be beneficial.

Abstract:

According to the regulations contained in the Social Services Act (SFS 2001:453), Swedish social services have a legal responsibility to provide support, care, and treatment for individuals with substance use problems. This law mandate those who are responsible to provide treatment to motivate drug users to actively seek treatment on a voluntary basis, ensuring an end to their dependence on drugs. Studies have shown that although the treatment system largely focuses on promoting abstinence, about two-thirds of client’s relapse into substance use within one year after completing treatment. This dissertation focuses broadly on clients who repeatedly enter and use treatment for substance use disorders in the Swedish addiction treatment system. The aim of this thesis is to examine and identify the population groups who are repeated treatment users of the Swedish treatment system for substance use disorder, including both the voluntary treatment and compulsory care. This thesis was based on three national level databases. The results showed that clients with a higher degree of problems and problems in different areas of life also had an increased risk of having treatment for substance use disorder repeatedly. Clients who were older, men, reported more years of polydrug and alcohol use to intoxication, reported more compulsory care episodes for substance use, had ever been charged with crime, had ever been in inpatient mental health treatment, and had a higher ASI mental health symptom composite score, were significantly more likely to report more voluntary addiction treatment episodes. The strongest significant association with the number of treatment episodes was the number of compulsory treatment episodes for alcohol and drugs. Individuals who experienced prior compulsory care including mandatory treatment through LVU (law (1990:52)), been in prison, and had children mandated to out-of-home care, were more likely to have two or more entries in the compulsory care system for substance use disorder. In addition, this analysis showed that 59% of clients mandated to compulsory care dropped-out during their compulsory care episode, and that younger clients were significantly more likely to drop-out. Those who drop-out were significantly more likely to experience negative outcomes, i.e. additional sentence to compulsory care and higher risk of mortality. A hierarchal logistic regression model also identified that individuals with riskier childhood conditions were more likely to have had repeated entries to compulsory care for substance use disorder. The indirect effects showed that a family history of substance use disorder and psychiatric problems are both associated with higher probability of institutional care as a child i.e. LVU, and that in turn, mandated childhood institutional care is related to repeated compulsory care intakes as an adult. Individuals who use treatment for substance use disorder repeatedly have a higher degree of problems i.e. an exposed and problematic group of individuals characterized by problem in several different areas of life. Growing up in a home environment with unfavorable conditions, mandated care before the age of 18 (LVU), compulsory care for substance use disorder as an adult, children taken into out-of-home care, and crime are the factors that are primarily associated with repeated treatment for substance use. A change in the view of treatment for clients in need of repeated use of treatment seems important, and access to adapted continuous care efforts are crucial to counteract the risk of relapse after a treatment episode of voluntary or compulsory care. Further, it seems important to motivate the client to complete the compulsory care without any deviation, since this seems to have positive effects on their substance use disorder.

Abstract:

This study utilised secondary data from a larger study that looked at individuals that are already infected by HIV which is entitled Implicative personal dilemmas and cognitive conflicts in health decision making in HIV positive adults and adults with AIDS. The primary aim of the larger study was to examine the cognitive construction of the individual and how they utilised their individual resources to construct who they are and how they perceived the difficulties and challenges that they face and the decisions they make regarding their health. HIV and AIDS is a debilitating disease and it affects millions worldwide. South Africa, presently, has the largest burden of this disease with those between the ages of 15 &ndash
49 years of age being most affected. As previously
mentioned the decisions that individuals make can impact on their health. Decisions to take necessary precautions such as protected sex during sexual intercourse can decrease the
progression of the disease. Decisions made regarding abstinence of risky behaviour as well as being committed to taking medication could also positively impact health. People living with HIV and AIDS find it
difficult to adjust to the challenges that this disease presents. Depression is often experienced due to the changes in self image and perception. Studies show that
females are twice more likely to experience depression than men. There has however been no conclusive evidence showing the reason for this, however, the perception of stress based on
gender could shed some light on this matter and how these perceptions can increase the likelihood of women being more vulnerable to depression. Due to the limitation of this study, it will
only look at depression as it relates to HIV and AIDS. Psychological problems such as depression can hamper the adjustment process and the effect of depression is evident in that it can lower the CD 4 + cells. Not only are those
living with HIV and AIDS affected by depression, but they also have a lifetime prevalence to depression. It is important to have an effective screening tool for depression so that the detection of this
disease can be made and effective treatment can be implemented to enhance health. The sample consisted of 113 adult participants that have already been diagnosed with HIV and AIDS. The
primary aim of this study was to compare the Beck&rsquo
s Depression Inventory II (BDI II) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale &ndash
(the Depression component) (HADS-D) as a screening tool

for depression. Exploratory Factor Analysis revealed a 5 factor structure which accounted for 60.14 % of the total variance. The HADS yielded one factor accounting for 14.33% of total variance. The BDI II has proven to be more a reliable measure of depression with 0.89 according to the Cronbach&rsquo
s Alpha co efficient opposed to 0.375 as per the HADS-D. The secondary aim was to establish
the sociodemographic and disease profiles of the participants under study.

Full text

Abstract:

The studies reported in this research involved the application of the Eating Disorder Inventory - 2 to evaluate the perception of a bulimic's body image before and after an intervention was implemented. The intervention was a psycho-educational group approach, more specifically, attending Overeaters Anonymous meetings in attempt to improve the perception of body image. Results from the Eating Disorder Inventory - 2 suggest that there was no significant improvement in the perception of body image after the intervention took place. Additional investigation is warranted due to the complexity of the disorder and previous research which suggests that a longer time period will have a more significant effect on the perception of body image.

Worldwide there are strong indicators that organisations are experiencing a leadership crisis because of the fundamentally and radically changing world significantly impacting on leaders' effectiveness. The leaders of the future will have to be highly mature to cope with the different and more pressing demands placed on them. This study applies Jung's concept of “individuation” to organisational leadership to study leaders' psychosocial maturity, and its relationship with derailment and burnout as indicators of failed leadership.

Abstract:

The current study investigated the experiences of unwed adolescent mothers in faith communities, the Roman Catholic Church in particular. The study was motivated by the fact that, despite the Christian sexual ethic, which prohibits sex outside wedlock, many young unmarried women in faith communities do become pregnant. The study thus sought to investigate the lived experiences of these young women, their psychological and social experiences of unwed motherhood in the church community. Factors contributing to teenage pregnancy, sources of social support and possible intervention mechanisms were also explored. A semi-structured interview schedule was developed, and thirteen (13) participants ranging in age from 18-22 years were interviewed individually and in focus groups. The results indicate that unwed teenage mothers in faith communities experience a range of psychological and social experiences, including frustration, feelings of depression, social exclusion and discrimination by fellow church congregants. Stigma theory and stigma consciousness were used to account for these experiences. Peer pressure and gendered power relations were cited among the causes of unwed teenage pregnancy, while payment of damages and re-admission to the community of believers following a confession were cited among the sources of social support. The study concludes that sex education and communication between parents and their teenage girls are essential in dealing with the problem of unwed teenage pregnancy. The study concludes with recommendations for practice and further research.

Abstract:

Gentrification and Touristification are two concepts that over the past years have been focused on in various European countries, due to their implications for communities that live in certain neighbourhoods. The study of these concepts is crucial to understand the changes that have occurred in neighbourhoods at an economic, social, and psychological level. The present dissertation aims to understand the experience of Gentrification and Touristification of those who continue living in the neighbourhood at the level of place attachment, social bonds and emotions triggered. We executed a qualitative study with a sample of seven Santos-o-Velho neighbourhood inhabitants (in Lisbon) diverging in age, gender, social class, and schooling, that live or have lived in the neighbourhood for at least five years. Each inhabitant participated in an interview using the walking interviews method and the results were determined through a thematic analysis. The results show that these two concepts have significant consequences for the participants: there is a clear preference for the way things were in the past, since they feel that the neighbourhood no longer provides services and spaces adequate for the pre-existing community, decreasing their place dependence to the neighbourhood and consequently their emotional attachment to the place; social bonds within the neighbourhood have suffered alterations due to increase of foreigners and people with greater economic power living in the area, decreasing familiarity and solidarity; lastly, these changes incite feelings of sadness and grief.
A Gentrificação e a Turistificação são dois conceitos que ao longo dos últimos anos têm vindo a ter imenso foco em várias cidades europeias, devido às suas implicações na comunidade que habita em determinados bairros. O estudo destes conceitos é crucial para perceber as alterações que têm acontecido nestes bairros a nível económico, social e psicológico. A presente dissertação tem como objetivo perceber a experiência da Gentrificação e Turistificação aos olhos de quem permanece no bairro ao nível da vinculação ao lugar das relações sociais e das emoções despoletadas. Realizou-se um estudo qualitativo com uma amostra de sete habitantes do bairro de Santos-o-Velho em Lisboa com diversas características a nível de idade, género, classe social e nível de escolaridade que tenham vivido ou vivem no bairro há mais de cinco anos. Cada participante realizou uma entrevista através do método de walking interviews e os resultados foram determinados através de uma análise temática. Os resultados mostram que estes dois conceitos têm consequências significativas para os participantes: existe uma clara preferência a como as coisas eram antigamente, uma vez que sentem que o bairro não fornece serviços e espaços adequados á comunidade pré-existente, diminuindo a dependência ao bairro e consequentemente a vinculação emocional ao mesmo; as relações sociais dentro do bairro sofreram alterações devido à entrada de turistas e de pessoas com maior poder económico diminuindo a familiaridade e a sensação de solidariedade no mesmo; por último, estas mudanças incitam emoções de tristeza e dor.

Uterus occupies the critical spot on both women’s body and mind in human history. Female patients might suffer different physical and mental changes after hysterectomy. However, they reported significantly different physical and mental dissimilarity after uterine removal due to variables of physical condition, mental condition, social impact and cultural factors. The number of patients who have received hysterectomy has been increasing for the past few years. There are yet many studies on sexual satisfaction and psycho-social adjustment of women who received hysterectomy. This study aims to investigate this and its related topics. The study adopts a quantitative method using a questionnaire survey with purposive sampling on 513 women who received hysterectomy in Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Kaohsiung during 1999 to 2003. The survey included a “sexual satisfaction inventory” and an adapted “psycho-social adjustment inventory” to collect data. Credibility and validity tests, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, two-way ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation and multiple regression analysis are used for data analysis. The study concluded following findings: (1) Women who received hysterectomy reported about average sexual satisfaction on the scale. (2) Women who received hysterectomy reported about above-average degree on psycho-social adjustment. (3) The sexual satisfaction of women who received hysterectomy is influenced by background variables significantly. (4) The sexual satisfaction of women who received hysterectomy is influenced by “age” and “family income” higher than that by “physical variables”. (5) Psycho-social adjustment of women who received hysterectomy is influenced by background variables. (6) Psycho-social adjustment of women who received hysterectomy is influenced interactively by “surgical method”, “surgical indications” and “hormone supplements”. (7) “Sexual desire” can be used to predict psycho-social adjustment of women who received hysterectomy. (8) “Mental concern” and “adjustment to social environment” can be used to predict sexual satisfaction of women who have received hysterectomy. This study proposed suggestions for patients who received hysterectomy, their family members and friends, and for medical staff and hospitals, in a hope of helping these patients to improve psycho-social adjustment and sexual satisfaction.

The influence on family function and psycho-social adaptation in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus(SLE) was studied. Four goals were set for this study. The first goal was to understand the current status on family function and psycho-social adaptation in SLE patients with different individual backgrounds. The second goal was to study and explore the associated factors on family function and psycho-social adaptation in SLE patients with different individual backgrounds. The third goal was to explore whether the correlation between simplified Family APGAR Index and Family Function Scale can serve as tool to evaluate the family function in SLE patients, by related statistical analysis. The fourth goal was to serve as a reference for related future researchers, and for the practice of counseling. A total of 201 purposive samples were studied. The majority of the study subjects were from a SLE association in northern Taiwan. Other subjects were from mails, referrals, and SLE online forums. Information on backgrounds, Family Function Scale, Family APGAR Index and psycho-social adaptation of study subjects were collected based on their scales.Current status and related issues on Family Function Scale, Family APGAR Index and psycho-social adaptation Index in SLE patients were analyzed and comprehended. Prediction of psycho-social adaptation could be made based on Family Function Scale. Techniques utilized to collect, interpret, and analyze the statistics of this study include -method of descriptive statistics, the T test, one-way ANOVA, the Pearson product -moment correlation, and multiple stepwise regression analysis. Results are summarized as the followings: 1.SLE patients with different backgrounds adapt differently in terms of family function and psycho-social adaptation. 2.The cohesion, conflict, affective involvement, affective responsiveness, communication, problem solving, independence, roles in Family Function Scale versus the psychological, interpersonal, illness and roles adaptability in psycho-social adaptation: ‧These two factors have weak to moderate positive-correlation. 3.Family APGAR versus the result of the psychological, interpersonal, illness and roles adaptability in psycho-social adaptation: ‧These two factors have moderate positive-correlation. 4.The cohesion, affective responsiveness, communication, problem solving, independence, roles in Family Function Scale versus the result of Family APGAR : ‧These two factors have positive-correlation. The conflict, affective involvement in Family Function Scale versus the result of Family APGAR: ‧These two factors have negative-correlation. 5.Predictions of problem solving and affective involvement are related to psycho-social adaptation. Prediction most related to psycho-social adaptation is problem solving. 6.Predictions of problem solving and affective involvement are related to psychological and interpersonal adaptability in psycho-social adaptation. Prediction most related to psycho-social adaptation is problem solving. 7.Predictions of problem solving and independence are related to illness adaptability in psycho-social adaptation. Prediction most related to psycho-social adaptation is problem solving. 8.Predictions of affective involvement and communication are related to roles adaptability in psycho-social adaptation. Prediction most related to psycho-social adaptation is affective involvement.

Purpose. This study focuses on the psycho-social factors of male prisoners' practice of genital beading in the correctional institutions. Criminological literatures have shown that sexuality is an important issue in the study concerning prisoners. Since there is considerable population who had genital beading among prisoners, I suggest that the psycho-social factors of this common practice is closely connected to their family background and the environment where they live and grow up. Methodology. In this study, I adopt both the qualitative and quantitative approaches. On the one hand, I conduct the semi-structured interview with 7 prisoners who are the experienced practitioners of genital beading. On the other hand, researcher conduct the questionnaire to collect the background information of male prisoners in the Chayi Detention Center, and analyze the data from 118 valid samples using phenomenological method. Findings. First, the psychological motivation for those prisoners to have genital beading can be attributed to "curiosity," "conformity," "boredom," and "conquest mentality," while the impact of the physical image of body is not evident. Second, those who practice genital beading deviate from normal sexual cognition in general, such as having extramarital sexual relationship. The myth of genital beading to boost sexual potency is also prevalent. These psycho-related factor, interacting with many social and cultural ones, finally lead to the actual practice of genital beading. Moreover, I analyze the practice of genital beading in terms of temporal and spatial factor. First, most of the genital-beading prisoners have had sexual experiences as early as in adolescence, which, driven by the carnal desire, can be regarded as what scholars call "crises" in the psycho-social development. Second, most of the genital-beading prisoners belong to the lower-middle class, whose lifestyle and working enviroment are deeply associated with the subculture, and some of whom even walk on the edge of the law. In addition, the unsupportive learning environment, exacerbated by the temptation of delinquent companions, leads to their deviant and even criminal behavior. The most relevant factor in this study turns out to be the prison subculture. During the procedure of judicial corrections, prisoners are exposed to the environment conducive to genital beading, and therefore determine to take action.

Les participants sont 1 085 filles et 1 138 garçons faisant partie de l'Étude Longitudinale du Développement des Enfants du Québec (ÉLDEQ), qui a sélectionné un échantillon aléatoire et stratifié en utilisant le registre des naissances du Québec. Dans ce devis prospectif-longitudinal, les parents ont fourni une mesure sur l'environnement de leurs repas en famille à l'âge de 6 ans. Quatre années plus tard, les parents ont également fourni des mesures sur le niveau de condition physique de leur enfant ainsi que sa fréquence de consommation de boissons gazeuses; les enseignants ont mesuré la réussite en lecture et en mathématiques; les enfants ont auto-rapporté leurs niveaux d’agressivité physique globale, d’opposition, du trouble du comportement non agressif et d’agressivité réactive. Des analyses de régressions multiples ont été réalisées. Résultats. Un environnement plus sain lors des repas en famille à 6 ans a prédit les bénéfices suivants à 10 ans : une augmentation de la condition physique (β = 0,24; 95 % intervalle de confiance [IC], 0,12 à 0,36) ainsi qu'une diminution de la consommation de boissons gazeuses (β = -0,43; 95 % IC, -0,62 à -0,23), de l'agressivité physique globale (β = -0,38; 95 % IC, -0,58 à -0,18), de l'opposition (β = -0,72; 95 % IC, -1 à -0,4), du trouble du comportement non agressif (β = -0,33; 95 % IC, -0,50 à -0,17) et de l'agressivité réactive (β = -0,70; 95 % IC, -0,98 à -0,42). Contrairement à nos attentes, l'environnement des repas en famille n'était pas significativement relié au rendement scolaire. Conclusion. Les repas familiaux ont une forte influence à long terme sur le développement de l'enfant, par rapport à sa santé physique et à son ajustement social. Par conséquent, ils pourraient nourrir une campagne informative intéressante qui porterait sur la promotion de la santé mentale et physique des jeunes à travers ce rituel social.
Background. Recent research suggests that family meals have a strong influence as a child-rearing environment variable, which could in turn be beneficial to adaptive functioning. Objective. To examine the influence of family meal environment at age 6 on later bio-psycho-social developmental outcomes at age 10. Methods. Participants are from a prospective longitudinal birth cohort of 1 085 girls and 1 138 boys from the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development (QLSCD) with parent-reported data on family meal environment at age 6. We conducted a series of ordinary least-squares regressions in which children’s scores on parent reports of general fitness and soft drink consumption, teacher reports of reading and mathematics success, as well as child self-reports of physical aggression, opposition behavior, non-aggressive delinquency, and reactive aggression, were linearly regressed on early family meal environment. Results. A healthier family meal environment at age 6 predicted the following outcomes at age 10: increases in general fitness (β = 0.24; 95%confidence interval [CI], 0.12 to 0.36) and decreases in soft drink consumption (β = -0.43; 95% CI, -0.62 to -0.23), physical aggression (β = -0.38; 95% CI, -0.58 to -0.18), opposition behavior (β = -0.72; 95% CI, -1 to -0.4), non-aggressive delinquency (β = -0.33; 95% CI, -0.50 to -0.17), and reactive aggression (β = -0.70; 95% CI, -0.98 to -0.42). Surprisingly, family meal environment was not significantly related to school achievement. Conclusions. From a population-health perspective, family meals have a strong long-term influence on child development, with respect to health habits and social adjustment. Therefore, they could be potentially featured in an informative campaign on mental and physical health of young people.
