Fincher, Cynthia Ellen. "Mental Status, Intellectual, and Mood States Associated with Environmental Illness Patients." Thesis, North Texas State University, 1991. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc500843/.

Abstract:
The purpose of the present study was to begin development of a psychological profile for environmentally ill patients. Existing psychiatric labels are unable to encompass these patients. Test scores were drawn from a pool of 89 patients whose environmental exposures were verified by the presence of toxins in the blood serum. A Mental Status Exam, a Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised screen, and the Profile of Mood States were administered. Results indicate a primary pattern which is significantly different from test norms consisting of fatigue, reduced mental functioning, and a lack of psychotic or personality disorder indicators. The reported symptoms of environmentally ill patients were objectively verified by current psychological test instruments. The need for a new diagnostic category for people who have been poisoned by environmental toxins is discussed.

Rooney, C. "Polyphenol intake, dietary patterns and psychological status." Thesis, Queen's University Belfast, 2014. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.680508.

Abstract:
Increasing evidence has suggested that dietary consumption may have the potential to influence mental health. However, few experimental studies have examined the effect of polyphenol-rich foods on psychological health. Furthermore, minimal studies exist on consumer attitudes towards polyphenol-rich foods. Thus, the main aims of this thesis were to investigate the effect of polyphenol-rich foods (FV, berries and dark chocolate) on psychological health, and to examine the behaviours, attitudes and knowledge consumers have with regards to the consumption of these foods. Firstly, results from a systematic review suggested that current evidence surrounding fruit and vegetables (FV) and psychological well-being is inconclusive. The review highlighted the need for future randomised controlled trials to investigate the relationship further. Secondly, a randomised controlled trial (PPhIT) showed mixed findings with regards to the effect of an eight week polyphenol-rich dietary pattern (FV, berries and dark chocolate) on psychological health. Improvements were observed for certain outcomes, including depressed mood and mental health (quality of life), but not for others (e.g. self-esteem and body-image). The dietary intervention led to significant increases in nutritional biomarkers, indicating good participant compliance. Overall, participants showed favourable attitudes towards the polyphenol-rich diet. Whilst a number of barriers towards the study diet foods were detected at baseline, the intervention significantly reduced some of these (e.g. ease, willingness, awareness). Similarly, a second ReT (n=30 adults), highlighted various barriers and facilitators towards FV consumption. However, in contrast to PPhIT, the four week intervention did not significantly modify these. This study also detected a lack of knowledge regarding what constitutes a portion of FV. The inconsistent findings from this thesis surrounding the effect of polyphenol-rich foods on psychological health suggest further research is warranted. Future research on the capacity for dietary interventions to reduce barriers towards polyphenol-rich foods may also be of value.

Martindale, Jane Harriet. "Disease severity and psychological status in ankylosing spondylitis." Thesis, University of Central Lancashire, 2008. http://clok.uclan.ac.uk/7689/.

Abstract:
The findings of this study provide an original contribution to knowledge in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and have important implications for eiThancing clinical practice. The results demonstrate the existence and significance of associations between disease and psychological status in AS, and also demonstrate the value of using longitudinal, repeated measures approach to study this long-term condition. This study is also the first to demonstrate the value of using a mixed methods approach to investigate this issue in AS. Although existing literature on prospective longitudinal cohort studies in AS is very limited (other than for studies which involve clinical trials of medications and other interventions), this project demonstrates the feasibility of sustaining such a study over an 18-month period and of recruiting large numbers of participants to both the quantitative and qualitative phases. The results are based upon a hospital-ascertained cohort of 89 adults. Both the quantitative and qualitative phases produced important new findings: 1. In this cohort, mean BASMI, BASFI and BASDAI scores remained consistent throughout the 18-month period. People with BASDAI scores higher than 4 at the beginning of the study continued to score higher than 4 throughout. 2. BASMI, BASFI and BASDAI scores correlated significantly with anxiety, depression and internality scores, but not with levels of belief in chance or powerful others, throughout the study. This demonstrates that AS disease status is closely linked to some, but not all, psychological measures. 3. There was no effect of co-existent psoriasis or iritis on either disease or psychological status, but BASMI and BASFI (but not BASDAI) scores were significantly related to age. 4. Factors which appear to influence the associations between disease and psychological status are highly complex, often differing between individuals, and usually determined by other co-morbidities and life circumstances besides AS. These results suggest that the major implication for clinical practice would be the development of a more comprehensive and integrated assessment framework for AS set within the context of a biopsychosocial model. Envisaged would be a major programme of work to critically assess and validate potential components of such a framework with the aim of determining efficacy, feasibility and acceptability of such an approach.

Abstract:

Background and Objective: First-year university students face many challenges during the transition to university. Some of these relate to their background and socio-demographic characteristics and others have to do with the characteristics of the universities they attend. South African first-year students may face even more challenges adjusting to university, which are linked to the country's Apartheid history. This study aimed to explore relationships between mental health, socioeconomic status and subjective social status in first-year students at four South African universities. In particular, the aims were to explore the role of subjective social status and resilience in predicting the adjustment, mental health and general health of first year university students. Method: Participants in the study (n=336) were South African first-year students who were enrolled in first year psychology courses at four universities. Two of the universities were historically advantaged, and two were historically disadvantaged. Data collection took the form an online survey as well as the distribution of printed questionnaires. A demographic questionnaire was used in addition to questionnaires, which measured students' quality of adjustment, mental health, general health, subjective social status, alcohol use and illicit substance use and resilience (Connor- Davidson Resiliency Scale). Results: A series of hierarchical regression analyses indicated that place of residence was an significant predictor of the quality of their adjustment to university (R 2 =.11). Results of the multiple regression analyses also indicated that resilience was a significant predictor of mental health (R 2 = .22) and a significant predictor of general health (R2 = .11) in the sample of first-year students. Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance resilience can play in predicting students' mental and general health during the transition to university. It also highlights the fact that universities should take the opportunity to provide adequate support programmes and create social networks to make the transition to university easier for students who may be at risk for poor adjustment and poor mental health and general health. In particular university residences, which provide a living environment that encourages academic and social interaction and provide a supportive atmosphere, can make the transition to university smoother for first years. 4

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study investigated the association between functional status in fibromyalgia patients and helplessness, self-efficacy, social support and cognitive appraisal. Patients' assessments of their pain and global severity of illness (as rated on a visual analog scale) as well as a physician's rating of global severity, tended to correlate with helplessness and pain-related self-statements. Patients' perceived change in difficulty and satisfaction regarding activities of daily living (measured by means of the Modified Health Assessment Questionnaire) correlated negatively with self-efficacy beliefs and relationship strain, while patients' subjective assessment of their global improvement was related to self-efficacy. The objective rating by a physician of tender points correlated with catastrophizing self-statements and opportunity for confiding.

Pasiënte se beoordeling van hulle ervaring van pyn en die globale ems van hulle siekte (soos beoordeel met behulp van 'n visuele analoogskaal), asook die geneesheer se beoordeling van die ems van hulle siekte, het met hulpeloosheid en pynverwante kognisies gekorreleer. Hulle waarneming van die verandering in die uitvoerbaarheid van, en hulle tevredenheid met hulle daaglikse aktiwiteite (gemeet met die Modified Health Assessment Questionnaire) het negatief verband gehou met selfdoeltreffendheid en verhoudingstremmings, terwyl hulle globale beoordeling van die verbetering in hulle siekte met selfdoeltreffendheid gekorreleer het. Die objektiewe assessering deur 'n geneesheer van sensitiewe liggaamsareas het verband getoon met disfunksionele kognisies (katastrofering) en vertroue in ander.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine if psychological type, economic status, and minority classification had an effect on the pass/fail rates of vocational nursing students. The rationale for conducting this study was based on the need for the institution to maintain program viability and successfully retain students. The personality types of vocational nursing students were measured using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Measures of economic status and minority classification were obtained through subject self-report. Students enrolled in a vocational nursing program at a small North Texas community college were studied. The Chi-square Test of Independence with a 2 x 2 design was employed. Findings indicated that there was a statistically significant relationship between the pass/fail rates of thinkers versus feelers in the vocational nursing classroom. Findings did not indicate a statistically significant relationship between the pass/fail rates of extraverts versus introverts; sensers versus intuitives; or judgers versus perceivers in the vocational nursing classroom. Findings also suggested that there were no significant relationships between the pass/fail rates of individuals with poverty versus non-poverty economic statuses, nor between individuals with minority versus non-minority classifications. Based on this study, vocational nursing students psychologically typed as thinkers, may have lower passing rates in the vocational nursing classroom setting.

Abstract:
A financial sector establishes stability on the capabilities and skills of its human resources, which comprises the essential material for its growth. Therefore, it is essential that the financial service sector improves the quality of its human resources in order to ensure enough human capital that fosters ongoing growth. The Namibian Government identified the shortage of skills in the financial sector as one of the biggest obstacles in realising economic growth targets set out in Namibia’s Vision 2030. Namibia suffers from a shortage of skills in the areas of auditing, actuarial science, chartered accountancy, information technology, investment banking, property evaluation, and compliance and risk management. The objectives of the study were to investigate the nature of strategies implemented in the financial service sector in order to address skills shortages experienced by this industry, to examine development challenges encountered by the financial sector, to identify critical and scarce skills within the financial industry and to investigate skills development funding mechanisms currently utilised by employers in the financial sector in Namibia. The study aimed to document the status of skills in the financial sector since the inception of the Namibian Financial Sector Strategy and Charter in 2012 Stratified sampling was used to select a sample from the 174 institutions classified as the study population. The banking and non-banking entities sampled were categorised according to characteristics they had in common which would identify them as homogeneous. Therefore, participants were divided into sub-sector categories. The database built from surveying those institutions was stratified according to the characteristics. The research instruments were two questionnaires, one for employers and the other for universities, which were utilised to collect data. The essential finding of the research maintains that skills shortages, the expenditure budget allocated for training and the overall labour turnover in the financial sector hinders its skills development. A discussion of the study’s findings was presented and concluded with recommendations for future research. The shortage of skills and a lack of experience in the workplace, coupled with labour turnover, were identified as challenges experienced by the industry. What is evident from the study is that these challenges are not unique to Namibia but affect the global labour marketplace as well. The situation could, in part, be due to the process of globalisation.

Abstract:
Mothers living with HIV are faced with the dilemma of when and how to disclose their HIV-positive status to their young uninfected children. In this study, baseline data from the Kgolo Mmogo project was used to understand this dilemma using a South African sample in the city of Tshwane. The researcher aimed to compare mothers who disclosed their HIV status to their young children with mothers who did not disclose in terms of self-reported psychological variables (depression symptoms, coping style and parenting stress) using a Mann-Whitney U test. In addition, the research also investigated which maternal socio-demographic variables (mother’s age, employment status, marital status and level of education) are significantly associated with maternal HIV status disclosure using a Chi-square test of independence. This research consisted of 97 mothers grouped according to their disclosure status (n = 47 mothers that disclosed and a randomly selected sub-sample n = 50 of the 356 non-disclosing mothers). The following instruments were used: the Centre for Epidemiological Studies-Depression scale, the Brief COPE scale, the Parenting Stress Index Short Form and the Kgolo Mmogo questionnaire. In the findings, the marital status of mothers was significantly associated with HIV status disclosure. Single mothers disclosed significantly more than mothers who were married or had partners. The age, educational level and employment status of the mothers were not significantly associated with maternal HIV disclosure status. Furthermore, the results revealed that mothers in both groups (disclosing and non-disclosing) reported high levels of depressive symptoms and parenting stress. The groups did not differ significantly with regards to these variables. Similarly, while overall coping style was not significantly different between the two groups of mothers, the disclosing mothers were significantly more likely to use support seeking and behavioural disengagement as a coping style, while non-disclosing mother were more likely to engage in self-blame as a coping strategy. This study provides evidence that psychosocial support services should become an integral part of HIV and AIDS routine care as this may improve coping and reduce psychological distress and lead to higher rates of disclosure. This is important because maternal disclosure has documented benefits for both mother and child.

Abstract:
Antisocial behavior, both criminal and noncriminal, is a prominent yet poorly understood public health concern. Research on antisocial behavior typically focuses on either individual or environmental risk factors, rarely integrating risks across levels of analysis. Although low objective SES is clearly associated with antisocial behavior, the reasons why are unclear. Sociological theories suggest this relationship is due to neighborhood and environmental characteristics that create social disorganization and reduce informal social controls in the community. On the other hand, psychological theories suggest that elevated levels of psychological distress and psychopathic traits may influence individual risk for antisocial behavior. The purpose of this study was to integrate sociological and psychological models to examine how certain individual and environmental risk factors intersect in predicting antisocial behavior. In a demographically diverse adult male sample (N = 462), environmental (neighborhood distress) and individual (psychological distress) risk factors each mediated the SES – antisocial behavior relationship (as predicted), although findings depended on which definition of SES was used (objective versus subjective). In addition, psychopathic dimensions (specifically, meanness and disinhibition) were observed to exacerbate the effects of neighborhood and psychological distress on antisocial behavior, as hypothesized. Supplemental analyses also considered index variables comprising neighborhood disadvantage. Overall, results of this study help inform psychological and sociological theories of antisocial behavior, and may assist in clarifying potential neighborhood- and individual-level foci for interventions to prevent and reduce antisocial behavior in the community.

Abstract:

The psychological assessment literature has consistently reflected the importance of psychological assessment competency for professional psychologists across all training and practice settings. Past surveys of pre-doctoral internship directors have highlighted a troublesome misalignment between internship directors? assessment-related expectations of students and the actual competencies demonstrated by many beginning pre-doctoral psychology interns. The purpose of the present study was to survey psychology internship directors within the United States to examine their perspectives regarding current practices, emerging trends, and desired modifications in psychological assessment training at the internship level. A 32-item, online questionnaire was developed for this study that consisted of five distinct sections: (a) administration instructions; (b) respondent demographics; (c) characteristics of the internship program, including assessment training methods, role/function of assessment, and director?s satisfaction with assessment-related preparation of incoming interns; (d) training expectations and current psychological assessment measures used within the internship program; and (e) future directions of psychological assessment practices. The present dissertation maintained a particular focus on the fourth section, while two co-investigators addressed the other sections. Participants included 182 directors of pre-doctoral internships nationwide (26% response rate), as identified in the 2014-2015 APPIC directory of approved internship programs. The majority of the 182 responders identified as Caucasian (88%), with a mean age of 46.88 years; 66% were female and 34% were male. The results revealed broad similarities with past studies, including the continued importance of psychological assessment as a core competency and varying usage patterns of specific psychological measures across different types of internship settings. Likewise, a handful of measures were found to be relatively stable regarding high use by interns compared to earlier studies, including several Wechsler scales, the MMPI-2, and the BDI-II. Reported BAI and PAI use increased compared to earlier surveys. Results also revealed a significant decline in internship directors? reported use of projective instruments by interns, as well as a remarkable decrease in projective assessment emphasis overall. However, the Rorschach remained a highly valued assessment measure for pre-internship experience. These findings present significant implications for academic curriculum and practicum-level training in assessment. Other findings, recommendations, study limitations, and suggestions for future research are explored.

Abstract:
Magister Psychologiae - MPsych
We live in a society that continually reinforces the connection between femininity and maternity and for the majority of women, attempts to experience motherhood are successful. However, for others the world of motherhood is not so easy to enter. To date, research regarding the needs and life satisfaction of women who are unsuccessful in becoming mothers, is fairly limited. The purpose of this study was to explore the transitional phase women endure from potential motherhood to non-motherhood and to highlight some of the complexities underpinning infertility and its impact on the lives of women in South Africa. The main objective was to gain deeper insight into how women incorporated this experience into their lives and relationships and how they began to create a future life without their own biological children. A secondary aim of this study was to investigate whether the women viewed aspects such as age and finances as having had an effect on their decision to discontinue treatment for infertility. Feminist standpoint theory served as a theoretical framework for the study that recognized that each individual voice be heard. This study was a qualitative exploration, utilizing a short demographic questionnaire and an in-depth semi-structured interview. Five interviews were conducted with women from diverse backgrounds. These interviews were recorded; transcribed verbatim and thematic analysis of the data was conducted.

Abstract:
The present study addresses identity distress and identity status in adolescents with clinical diagnoses, and their caregivers. There were 88 adolescent participants (43.2% female) ranging in age from 11 to 20 (mean =14.96; SD =1.85) who were recruited from community mental health centers in Volusia and Orange Counties. The 63 caregiver participants included mothers (82.5%), fathers (7.9%), grandmothers (7.9%), and grandfathers (1.6%), ranging in age from 28-70 (mean = 40.24; SD = 9.16). A significant proportion of adolescents (22.7%) met criteria for Identity Problem in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed., text rev.; American Psychiatric Association, 2000) and 9.5% of the adolescents' caregivers met criteria for Identity Problem. Regarding identity status, 68.2% of adolescents and 27.0% of caregivers reported being in the diffused status. Additionally, 25.0% of adolescents and 54.0% of caregivers met criteria for the foreclosed status. Significant associations were found among adolescent and caregiver psychological symptoms and identity variables. Further examination of the psychological symptom variables found that obsessive-compulsive and paranoid ideation symptoms significantly predicted identity distress. In addition, caregiver identity commitment significantly predicted adolescent identity distress over and above the adolescents' identity variables. These findings and implications are discussed in further detail.

Abstract:
The influence of psychological status on recovery from a first lifetime episode of acute low-back pain was assessed in compensated workers seen in a physiatry clinic. One hundred thirty-four participants of a back school intervention trial were selected and followed for 1 year. The objectives were to determine the evolution of psychological distress, well-being, pain, self-reported disability and spinal flexibility, and to determine the psychological factors associated with return to work and recurrence. Improvement occurred post-treatment in all measures except well-being which did not fluctuate over the year. Additional improvement in functional disability occurred at 6 and 12 months. Using multiple logistic regression, low baseline psychological distress predicted late return to work and high baseline well-being predicted recurrence. A second model for recurrence that was constructed with post-treatment scores on the longitudinal measures had greater predictive power than the model using baseline scores. These results have implications for the management of return to work.

Full text
Abstract:
Personality researchers have described dispositional traits to typically show stability over the life course and yet one such trait, shyness, has rarely been examined in later life. Shyness as a global trait has been linked negatively to multiple psychological indices of childhood well-being, including loneliness. Despite the fact that older adults may be already at risk for experiencing heightened loneliness, regret, or decreased fulfillment, research has not assessed these experiences in relation to personality in later life. In recent years, withdrawal research has begun to move past shyness as a global trait to examine the motivations behind socially withdrawn behavior. The current study used regression analyses to examine ways that three facets of withdrawal (shyness, avoidance, and unsociability) may relate to loneliness, regret, and fulfillment in later life. Data from 309 older participants of the Huntsman Senior Games were used to explore associations. Results indicated that shyness, avoidance, and unsociability significantly predicted increased loneliness and regret, and decreased fulfillment to some extent. Further, marital status (married, divorced, widowed) moderated links between withdrawal and psychological indices of later life well-being.

Abstract:
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been a major public health problem due to its high prevalence, morbidity, and mortality. Smoking is a major risk factor for COPD, while serious psychological distress (SPD) is prevalent among COPD patients. However, no study focusing on the effect of SPD on COPD has been so far conducted, while few studies have focused on the associations of SPD and behavioral factors with COPD by smoking status. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the associations of SPD and behavioral factors (such as smoking and physical activity) with COPD. Materials and Methods: Weighted logistic regression models were used for the analysis of 1,248 cases and 39,995 controls from the 2005 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS). Results: The prevalence of SPD was 10% in cases and 4% in controls, respectively. The percentages of past and current smoking were higher in cases than controls (50% vs. 24% and 27% vs. 15%, respectively). After adjusting for other factors, smoking (OR = 4.56, 95% CI = 3.41-6.11 and OR = 3.24, 95% CI = 2.57-4.08 for current and past smoking, respectively), physical activity (OR = 0.69, 95% CI = 0.55-0.87), obesity (OR = 1.25, 95% CI = 1.03-1.52), older age (OR = 2.86, 95% CI = 2.15-3.82, and OR = 5.97, 95% CI = 4.42-8.08 for middle-aged and elder groups, respectively), SPD (OR = 2.11, 95% CI = 1.47-3.04), employment (OR = 0.62, 95% CI = 0.51-0.76), race (OR = 0.35, 95% CI = 0.23-0.54, OR = 0.59, 95% CI = 0.36-0.97, and OR = 0.47, 95% CI=0.29-0.75 for Latino, Asian, and African American, respectively) and lower federal poverty level (OR=1.89, 95% CI = 1.35-2.63, OR = 1.65, 95% CI = 1.27-2.14, and OR = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.12-1.72 for 0-99% FPL, 100-199% FPL and 200-299% FPL, respectively) were all associated with COPD (P < 0.05). Age group, SPD, race, and employment showed significant interactions with smoking status. Stratified by smoking status, aging was the only risk factor for COPD in the never smoking group; whereas, lack of physical activity, older age, SPD, race, unemployment, and lower federal poverty level were associated with COPD in the smoking groups. Conclusions: Smoking and aging were major risk factors for COPD, while lack of physical activity and SPD were strongly associated with COPD in the smoking groups.

Abstract:
This study examined the utility of the Dean-Woodcock Emotional Status Examination (D-WESE). As part of the Dean-Woodcock Neuropsvchology Battery, the D-WESE is a 50-item measure of emotional functioning. Its ability to predict pathology as compared to the MMPI Clinical Scales was investigated. The D-WESE gains information about a wide range of symptoms within a short period of time.An existing data set was utilized in this study. It included 207 patients referred for psychological and neuropsychological evaluation from a large outpatient Midwestern neurology practice. The age ranged between 13 and 96 years (M = 56.53).The results of an exploratory factor analysis with oblique rotation revealed an 11factor solution consisting of eigenvalues greater than 1.00. The D-WESE factors were significantly correlated with the MMPI Clinical Scales and a poor to good percent (1670%) of the variance could be accounted for through Stepwise Multiple Regressions. The results were discussed in terms of their relationship with established MMPI codetypes. Overall, the D-WESE was found to have a moderate degree of overlap and predictive validity as compared to the MMPI.

Full text
Abstract:
It has been widely documented that the process of migration may contribute to negative psychological outcomes (Bhugra, 2004; Cantor-Graae & Selten, 2005). Although there are approximately 150,000 Polish citizens living in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, the research on their mental health is surprisingly modest. The main aim of the thesis was to estimate the psychological status of Polish migrants in Ireland through examination of associations and mechanisms concerning demographic, psychological, and migration related variables. A paper survey comprising of a selfreported assessments was applied to collect the data among the Polish migrants and the Irish natives. The project's results indicated that the status was relatively positive. When the Polish group (N = 354) was compared with the Irish native residents (N = 304), there were no significant differences noted on depression, anxiety, and stress levels. This finding supports past research indicating that there is no unequivocal evidence of increased levels of mood disorders when migrants are compared with native populations (Swinnen & Selten, 2007). Although Poles scored higher on some dimensions of psychotic-like experiences when compared with the Irish participants, the differences were relatively modest. As psychosis was found to be often associated with increased levels of mood disorders (Cosoff & Hafner, 2008) and no such associations were found in the project's results, a substantial increase of psychotic-like experiences is not expected in future regarding the Polish migrants. However, it is important to emphasize that past evidence indicated that psychosis-related, psychologically negative outcomes were 'stronger' for second generations of migrants when compared with first generations of migrants (Cantor-Graae & Selten, 2005). The differences pertaining to social resources, early trauma, and substance abuse were small and as such did not seem to pose serious problems for the Polish migrants. Moreover, psychometric properties of the DASS-21 (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995) scale and its measurement invariance across gender and nationality were confirmed. Furthermore, it was found that social capital plays an important role as a mediator between the migrant class and mental health. Finally, the association between social capital and mental health was dependent on the migration status prior migration. The findings of the thesis have important practical implications. Apparently, not all types of migration result in a worsened psychological status of migrants. It is likely, that the migrant groups characterised by relatively high education qualifications and language skills, and equipped with a similar legal status as native residents may function well outside their countries of origin. Moreover, the project's findings may result in reduced discrimination and more positive views of migrant groups. The heterogeneity of the Polish group defies the view that migrant groups are homogeneous and characterised by uniform features. Additionally, the identified heterogeneity may have important practical implications as it was established that members of the 'Traditional' class were characterised by higher levels of anxiety when compared with members of the 'Established' class. Despite relatively positive findings pertaining to the psychological status of Poles in Ireland, it should be noted that perhaps some Polish migrants characterised by poor mental well-being might have been underrepresented in the project's sample. Cross-sectional design and representativeness of the samples constitute the two main methodological limitations of the project.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Associations have been found between diabetes status and periodontal diseases and dental caries. In addition to biological explanations, psychological features can be proposed to affect the relations between oral health and IDDM (=insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus). The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychological features characterizing oral hygiene practices, dental visiting and diabetes self-care. The research population consisted of 149 IDDM patients, and cross-sectional data were collected by a quantitative questionnaire, in clinical examinations and from patient records. There was a positive correlation between the sum scores for dental self-efficacy and diabetes self-efficacy and, correspondingly, between the dental and diabetes locus of control beliefs. High self-esteem was found to associate with good adherence to some specific health behaviors, such as tooth brushing, exercising and insulin adjustment. When Weiner's attribution theory was used, there were similarities in the causal thinking in oral and diabetes view. All in all, especially the perception of self-efficacy was found to be a powerful feature characterizing health behavior. There were overlapping relations showing an association of high dental self-efficacy with good diabetes adherence, of high diabetes self-efficacy with frequent dental visiting, and of good metabolic control with high tooth brushing self-efficacy, frequent tooth brushing and low plaque level. On the basis of these results, enhancement of self-efficacy appears important. These results suggest that there might, indeed, be some common psychological features for both oral health behavior and diabetes self-care. These could partly explain the relations between diabetes status and periodontal diseases and dental caries. The results can be utilized in patient-centered health education by identifying and enhancing the psychological features that characterize health behavior and health status. The results emphasize the need for co-operation between dental and diabetes health care professionals in their daily practice.

Abstract:

Sexual harassment has serious implications for both the individual and the organization. However, there appears to be confusion among different groups of people as to what behaviors constitute sexual harassment. The present study was designed as an aid in defining sexual harassment and an attempt to discover any differences which may exist between groups in what is considered to be sexual harassment. Perceiving certain behaviors as being sexual harassment appears to be related to several factors, among them gender, job status or power. This study consisted of a 2 (Gender) x 4 (Salary) design. The subjects for the study were 250 non-academic employees of a large state university. The investigator examined differences between groups using a four-part anonymous questionnaire.

Abstract:
This thesis reports an empirical study of the psychological and social consequences of heterosexual marital status change. The main purpose of this research is to provide a coherent and convincing account of the experience of marital status change across the life course. Examining changes in psychological health and social participation, this study employs a multi-method approach: secondary panel survey data from the BHPS provides an insight into changes in psychological wellbeing over time (N=3446); a questionnaire study considers the associations between marital status, psychological wellbeing and social support (N=510); and in-depth interviews with 82 men and women who have entered into a cohabiting (N=9) or married (N=29) relationship, or experienced a transition out of marriage through widowhood (N=23), or divorce (N=21) are used to explore the impact of a change in marital status on social participation. The main findings indicate that marital status transitions have consequences for psychological health and social participation. The never married, remarried and those in cohabiting or Living Apart Together relationships attain similar levels of psychological health to the continuously married. Transitions out of marriage, on the other hand, have a significant negative impact on psychological wellbeing and perceived social support emerges as a significant mediator of this relationship between marital status and psychological health. Entry into cohabitation and marriage are generally viewed as positive life events, while widowhood and divorce are associated with a considerable disruption to the social network, exchange of social support and sense of identity. Transitions out of marriage force people to reconstruct their social and personal identity and this process of identity change emerges as both a cause of and consequence of changes in social participation. Further, there are specific issues that older widowed people tend to experience as a consequence of increasing age. These include physical limitations, financial status, and smaller social networks prior to marital status change. Unique challenges for the younger widowed include the absence of a peer group and a wider range of practical responsibilities, including young children and ageing parents. In this study, there is no evidence that age plays a significant role in the impact of cohabitation, marriage or divorce. Together, the findings suggest that the lowered levels of psychological health experienced by the widowed and divorced result from the considerable disruption of a transition out of marriage to the social network, exchange of social support and identity, and highlight the differential impact of widowhood across the life course. Support services should, therefore, work with the aim of minimising the negative social outcomes of transitions out of marriage, including separation, divorce and widowhood.

A proposta desta dissertação é de apresentar as principais discussões sobre o status do campo de conhecimento psicológico a partir da visão e das contribuições do filósofo da ciência e psicólogo norte-americano Sigmund Koch (1917-1996). Para isso, foram analisados os principais conceitos e argumentos apresentados por Koch em sua discussão sobre a produção de conhecimento da psicologia no século XX. Durante a realização desse estudo utilizou-se como fonte de análise todas as publicações de Koch relativas a essa temática. Além disso, com intuito de contextualização do tema e da perspectiva do autor, foram consultadas fontes secundárias, artigos publicados por autores que discutem o mesmo tema no contexto de Koch e outros que fazem referência a seu trabalho. Diante disso, as discussões que permeiam o trabalho tratam dos argumentos apresentados por Koch para justificar sua avaliação do campo de conhecimento psicológico e de sua proposta de chamar a psicologia de estudos psicológicos, o que para ele, é uma forma de definição mais honesta e coerente do campo.

For this purpose, we analyzed the main conceptions and arguments presented by Koch in his discussion about the construction of psychological knowledge in twentieth century. While carrying out this research we used as our source of analysis all publications of Koch regarding this topic. Furthermore, with the aim of contextualization about the theme and the author‟s perspective, we consulted secondary sources, papers published by authors that discuss the same topic in the context of Koch and others that refer to its work. In face of this, the discussions that permeate this study are about the arguments presented by Koch to justify his assessment of the field of psychological knowledge and his proposal to call psychology, psychological studies, which for him means defining in a honest and coherent way.

The present study assessed the relationship between the paternal use of food in a contingency manner and the physical status of the respective son.

The prevalence of childhood obesity has been documented to be significant in this country (Mayer, 1968; Collipp, 1975; Forbes, 1975; Hafen, 1981). The etiology of the increasing percentages of obese children is based upon a variety of variables. Parental influence on children's eating habits and socioeconomic variables, which influence parents, appeared to be possible factors in the development of childhood obesity.

Abstract:
[Truncated abstract] Regular engagement in physical activity is proven to decrease the risk of numerous chronic diseases and to improve mental well-being. However, many children and adults around the world fail to engage in sufficient levels of activity required to produce health benefits, with reports showing physical activity levels still on the decline. Perhaps because of this increase in sedentary lifestyles, obesity has become one of the biggest public health threats in the 21st century. Furthermore, both obesity and physical inactivity are closely related to psychological health, and may play an important role in shaping self-perceptions and feeling of general well-being. '...' In the first study, physical status, physical activity levels, and social physique anxiety measures were obtained from an adolescent sample of 259 participants. Partial correlation analyses revealed that physical activity involvement was not directly linked with physical status; however, both factors were significantly associated with social physique anxiety, which suggested evidence of an indirect link between the two constructs. That is, analyses showed that poor physical status was associated with higher levels of physique anxiety, which in turn linked to low engagement in physical activity. In addition, age and gender effects emerged, revealing unique differences in the ways in which these three variables may be related. To cross-validate and further examine these relationships STUDY 2 extended the range of self-perception measures to include a multidimensional assessment of physical self-concept and a global self-esteem measure along with physique anxiety. These variables were assessed in a German adult sample (N = 229), again alongside measures of physical status and physical activity involvement. Consistent with STUDY 1, no direct link was found between physical status and levels of physical activity involvement. However, evidence of an indirect link did emerge as both variables were related to multiple dimensions of physical self-concept, thereby reinforcing and extending the findings from STUDY 1. Furthermore, age effects emerged for physical self-concept, which had not been confirmed in previous research on physical self-concept. STUDY 3 employed a longitudinal design and investigated changes in physical self-concept, global self-esteem and social physique anxiety before, during, and after participation in a 12-week weight management programme. Participants (N = 63) were assigned to one of three conditions: (1) cognitive-behavioural treatment only, (2) cognitive-behavioural treatment and exercise, and (3) non-treatment control. Statistical analyses revealed a small, but significant reduction in weight for members of both treatment groups. Relative to controls, both treatment groups also improved on a variety of physical self-concept dimensions. At the same time, however, significant group main effects suggested that a weight-loss program incorporating exercise involvement may provide physical self-concept benefits that go beyond those obtained with standard CBT regimes. Collectively, these studies add to the growing body of literature on the connections between physical activity, self-perceptions and physical status. They also highlight the importance of involvement in habitual physical activity throughout the lifespan. Findings are discussed with regards to their contribution to the extant literature, and applied implications, limitations, and future directions are considered.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores the role of attachment in a group of violent, personality-disordered patients in a high secure hospital. The research examines the mental representation of attachment and the perception of parenting, as assessed by the Adult Attachment Interview and the Parental Bonding Instrument, in this patient group and examines whether these differ from those of non-violent psychiatric patients. A prospective study examines whether the attachment measures predict change across a range of outcomes for this group of violent, personality-disordered patients. This thesis begins with a qualitative literature review on attachment and the development of psychopathology, focussing on attachment and psychiatric disorder in adulthood. The question as to whether particular attachment classifications are associated with specific psychiatric disorders is further investigated by a systematic review and meta-analyses. The meta-analytic results show that insecure attachment acts as a general vulnerability factor for the development of mental disorder. The distribution of Adult Attachment Interview classifications in these violent, personality-disordered patients significantly differed from non-violent patients. In particular there was an over-representation of individuals with Dismissing and Cannot Classify states of mind and an under-representation of patients who were Unresolved for loss and trauma. Additionally the violent personality-disordered patients had an impaired capacity to mentalize as evidenced by their low level of reflective functioning; especially patients with Dismissing attachments. This deficit is seen as a critical mediating mechanism between Dismissing attachment states of mind and violent behaviour. No one attachment measure predicted change across the outcome measures. However patients with Dismissing and Cannot Classify attachment representations improved in terms of the frequency and severity of their violent and aggressive behaviour. Patients with Preoccupied states of mind made the least progress. The results suggest that these particular attachment states of mind are predictive of change in the violent behavioural trajectory of these patients.
