Monette, Barbara. "The Anabaptist Contributions to the Idea of Religious Liberty". PDXScholar, 1994. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/5060.

The relationship between ideas and history is important in order to understand the past and the present. The idea of religious liberty and the realization of that ideal in sixteenth-century Europe by the Anabaptists in Switzerland and South Germany in the 1520s was considered to be revolutionary in a society characterized by the union of church and state. The main impetus of the idea of religious liberty for the Anabaptists was the application of the New Testament standard of the Christian church, which was an independent congregation of believers marked only by adult baptism. The purpose of the present study is to demonstrate the contributions of the Swiss Anabaptists to the idea of religious liberty by looking at the ministries and activities of three major leaders of the early Swiss movement: Conrad Grebel, Michael Sattler, and Balthasar Hubmaier. This thesis takes up the modern form of religious liberty as analyzed by twentieth-century authorities, as a framework for better understanding the contributions of the Anabaptists. My research then explores the establishment of the first Anabaptist church in history, the Zollikon church outside of Zurich, and examines its organization membership, motives, and strategies for evangelizing Switzerland. In all areas influenced by the Anabaptists, there was considerable acceptance of their doctrine of a separated church. Their teaching on liberty of conscience also influenced people in towns such as Zollikon and Waldshut. Possible historical links between the Anabaptist doctrines and establishment of later Baptist denominations are shown.

The relations between happiness and spirituality and religious practices in children aged 8-12 years were examined. Participants included 320 students in Grades 4-6 in both public and private (faith based) schools in Western Canada and their parents. Children rated their happiness using the Subjective Happiness Scale and the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire, Short Form, their spirituality using the Spiritual Well-Being Questionnaire, and their religiousness using the Religious Practice Scale adapted from the Brief Multidimensional Measurement of Religiousness/Spirituality. In addition, parents rated their children’s happiness using the Faces Scale, a single-item measure. Bivariate correlations indicated religious practices were not related to children’s happiness. Multiple regression analyses indicated that spirituality accounted for between 5-25% of the variance in children’s happiness, depending on the person rating happiness (i.e., parents vs. children), and the happiness measure utilized. The Personal domain of spirituality accounted for a unique amount of the variance in children’s happiness over and above the combined effect of all spirituality variables, again depending on the person rating happiness (i.e., parents vs. children), and the happiness measure utilized. Children who reported higher levels of meaning, purpose, and values in their own life reported higher levels of happiness as rated by themselves and their parents. Hierarchical regression analyses indicated that spirituality accounted for between 6-28% of the variance in children’s happiness, depending on the person rating happiness (i.e., parents vs. children), and the happiness measure utilized when gender and school were controlled for. Gender did not explain any of the happiness variance but school (public vs. private) did. The results of the current study parallel research investigating the relation between happiness and spirituality and religion in adolescents and adults. Limitations of the current study and future direction for research in spirituality and happiness are discussed.

Tan, Kang San. "An examination of dual religious belonging theology : contributions to evangelical missiology". Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 2015. http://digitool.abdn.ac.uk:80/webclient/DeliveryManager?pid=229438.

Texto completo da fonte

Resumo:

Dual religious belonging is a phenomenon of individuals who identify themselves as followers of more than one religious tradition. People of faiths may find themselves in different degrees of dual or multi-religious conditions due to growing up in inter-religious marriages of their parents, exposure to multi-religious traditions or inter-religious encounters. The thesis of this study is to argue for the legitimacy of “Dual Religious Belonging” for Christians coming from Asian religious backgrounds through an assessment of the threefold theology of religions. It concludes that “Universal Access Exclusivism” can be the best model for sustaining dual religious belonging from an Evangelical perspective. The study seeks to answer the following primary research questions: 1) Theologically, can Evangelical Christians belong to more than one religious tradition? What are the arguments forwarded for dual religious belonging and how do Christians develop a theological assessment of such phenomena, particularly for Christians who hold on to the finality of Jesus Christ for salvation? 2) Within the threefold model of theology of religions, which theology can best sustain dual religious belonging for Evangelical Christians? The study offers a comparative examination of the pluralist theology of Paul Knitter, the inclusivist theology of Raimon Panikkar and the exclusivist theology of Harold Netland. The secondary research question is what are some contributions of dual religious belonging theology toward an Evangelical contextual missiology? Specifically, some contributions toward “insider movements” debates and Christian discipleship for those coming from different faith traditions will be considered. The study seeks to, first, offer a critique against pluralist and inclusivist theologies for multiple and double religious belonging, and second, forward a proposal for dual religious belonging theology for followers of Jesus Christ coming from mixed religious backgrounds from an Evangelical perspective.

Ferguson, Harvie. "Søren Kierkegaard's religious psychology of melancholy". Thesis, University of Glasgow, 1994. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/1459/.

Texto completo da fonte

Resumo:

Part One deals with social and historical aspects of melancholy in relation to the emergence of modernity. It is argued that one way of understanding modernity is in terms of the emergence of a characteristic world view associated with Copernicanism, and that this transformation 'from the closed world to the infinite universe' is the context within which the old term 'melancholy' was redefined in terms of the modern experience of 'motion', 'distance' and 'reflection'. It is argued that an initial understanding of this relation provides a meaningful context for the reading of Kierkegaard's comments on his own society, particularly those contained in his Two Ages, his varied journalistic production, and his thesis, The Concept of Irony. Part Two attempts to define and present three distinct perspectives within which psychological, philosophical and religious dimensions of melancholy are explored. I have termed these perspectives, respectively, topological, anthropological and philosophical. Not only the aesthetic works, but the 'theory of the spheres' - which has played a central part in much contemporary literature on Kierkegaard - are here treated as exemplifying a topological approach to the central issues of modernity. In contrast to this horizontal perspective, and cutting across it a various points, a distinctively vertical analysis of experience is explored in a number of anthropological works, including, The Concept of Anxiety. An openly philosophical analysis of modernity is then presented, using the works attributed to Johannes Climacus and Anti-Climacus. Part Three, as distinct from the secular works discussed in Parts One and Two, deals with Kierkegaard's explicitly religious writings. In these works, it is argued, Kierkegaard offers a description of religiously transformed, non-melancholic experience. He does so, however, by way of contrast with the melancholy which remains central to both our immediate and reflective forms of self-understanding.

Nahas, Elia. "Striatal contributions to win-stay learning". Thesis, McGill University, 2009. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=66677.

Texto completo da fonte

Resumo:

Previous research has revealed that the functions of the dorsomedial (DMS) and dorsolateral (DLS) striatum are dissociable. Some of this evidence was obtained using the win-stay (WS) task, in which lights at the entrances to the arms of a radial maze indicate the locations of food. This task is thought to depend on stimulus-response (S-R) learning mediated in part by the DLS. The present experiments used different versions of the WS task developed for an automated 8-arm radial maze. In Experiment 1, no evidence for a Pavlovian-to-instrumental transfer effect on WS learning was obtained. In Experiments 2 and 3, in contrast to previous studies, none of the versions of the WS task used here were impaired by DLS lesions. Two versions of the task were dependent on the DMS, but not DLS or dorsal hippocampus. A possible explanation for these findings is the occurrence of parallel learning involving the amygdala, since the versions of the task used here are postulated to promote stimulus-reward learning. The DMS could be expressing amygdala-based learning through an amygdalostriatal pathway. This is the first demonstration of a WS task that is not impaired by DLS lesions and may not be due to S-R learning.
Des recherches antérieures ont révélé des rôles dissociables de la partie dorsomédiane (DMS) et dorsolatérale (DLS) du corps strié. Certaines de ces preuves ont été obtenues en utilisant la tâche Win-Stay (WS), dans laquelle des lumières à l'entrée des branches d'un labyrinthe radial indiquent la présence de récompenses à l'extrémité de ces branches. Cette tâche dépendrait de l'apprentissage stimulus-réponse (S-R) associé en partie au DLS. Les expériences de la présente thèse ont utilisé différentes versions de la tâche WS adaptées sur un labyrinthe radial automatisé à 8 branches. Dans l'expérience 1, aucune preuve d'un effet de transfert Pavlovien-à-instrumental sur l'apprentissage de WS a été observé. Dans les expériences 2 et 3, contrairement aux études précédentes, aucune des versions de la tâche WS utilisée ici a été affectée par des lésions du DLS. Deux versions ont été affectées par des lésions du DMS, mais pas du DLS ou de l'hippocampe dorsal. Une interprétation possible de ces résultats serait l'occurrence d'un apprentissage parallèle impliquant l'amygdale, puisque les versions de la tâche utilisés ici sont considérées comme pouvant favoriser l'apprentissage de stimulus-récompense. Le DMS pourrait exprimer l'apprentissage dans l'amygdale grâce aux connections amygdalostriatales. Il s'agit de la première démonstration d'une tâche WS qui n'est pas affectée par des lésions du DLS et qui peut ne pas être dûe à l'apprentissage S-R.

Survey instruments have been developed to measure whether someone claims to be religious but do not address the degree to which someone is satisfied with their religious commitment. The Religious Surrender and Attendance Satisfaction Scale (RSASS) was revised to measure both a person's level of religious commitment and satisfaction with level of religious commitment. This study was conducted to determine initial validity for the satisfaction portion of the RSASS. Construct validity measures provided initial confirmation of the utility of RSASS as a measure of satisfaction with religious commitment, that can be used by nurses in practice and research.

The current study examined the attitudes and intended behavior of college students toward seeking help on campus for various hypothetical psychological and physical concerns. Participants (n = 84) were undergraduate students at a Bethel University, a Midwestern Evangelical Christian university who completed three measures: (a) a scale examining intention to seek help from various sources; (b) the Religious Commitment Inventory (RCI-10); and (c) the Attitudes Towards Seeking Professional Help Scale (ATSPHS). Results showed a majority of students prefer to seek help from their friends and family members. Their willingness to seek help from professional sources was lower than anticipated based on previous studies with similar populations while their religious commitment levels were consistent with other religious college student populations. The results suggest students at this university are unlikely to see a need to seek professional help, but when they do, they will choose appropriate resources on campus. These results may help college counseling centers to orient students to resources on campus, which are appropriate for their concerns. The study confirmed previous research suggesting that college students have a preference for seeking help from friends and family as opposed to professional resources.

Resumo:

Peace psychology was recognized by the American Psychological Association (APA) as a specialty area of psychology in 1990. This research study analyses the past 25 years of peace psychologists’ efforts as the Society of Peace, Conflict, and Violence: Peace Psychology Division 48 of the APA (Division 48). Today the field has grown to include an international network of educators, researchers, practitioners, and advocates. The core mission of peace psychology is the transformation of conflict resolution away from violence and toward peacebuilding through psychologically informed interventions that operate at all levels of human relationships.

This research study focuses on both the theory and practice of peace psychology. The psychology informing peace building interventions is reviewed from the inception of psychology to the present, with specific emphasis on contributions from clinical and depth psychology. The research demonstrates how the organized psychological relationships among conflict, peace, and violence form a central axis which governs human relationships. Clinical and depth psychology contribute significantly to understanding the psychological processes of conflict, aggression, and interventions that promote mental health and wellbeing within both individuals and relationships. While these theories illuminate key operations within the mental framework, they also govern processes addressed directly by peace psychology’s interventions.

The three areas reported in the findings include the professional functions performed by peace psychologists, the essential characteristics that are at the center of the practice, and lessons from the lived experiences of the participants. The various roles represented by peace psychologists’ contributions are described because they illustrate specific, identifiable contexts within which participants engaged professionally, and help illuminate how and where peace psychology is practiced. The researcher interviewed seven past presidents of the Division following oral history methodology. The interviews were analyzed using grounded theory. Advice from the leaders informs present and future challenges for the field of peace psychology.

Cruz-Ortega, Luis G. "The role of religious orientation and ethnic identity on religious coping among bereaved individuals". Thesis, Andrews University, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3600758.

Texto completo da fonte

Resumo:

Problem: The literature suggests that religious orientation and ethnic identity inform the religious coping process, which is better understood in the context of a particular stressor. However, research on this topic is limited, particularly among ethnic minorities.

Method: A survey was used to collect data on religious orientation, ethnic identity, and religious coping from a sample of 319 adults who had lost a significant other within 36 months of the study. A total of 11 variables were measured using The Means-Ends Spirituality Questionnaire, the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure-Revised, and the Brief RCOPE.

Results: A canonical variate labeled "religious engagement" was a predictor for religious coping. Further analyses using multiple regression found that variables associated with traditional religious expressions (Devotional Spiritual Means), spiritual ends with a transcendental focus (Approach-unseen-autonomous Ends, Avoidance-unseen-external Ends), and Ethnic Identity were relevant predictors of Positive Religious Coping while Transcendental Means was a relevant predictor of Negative Religious Coping.

A stepwise discriminant analysis found that "ethnic identity and conservative religious orientation" discriminated between ethnic groups. Cases with higher levels of ethnic identity and conservative religious orientation were more likely to be classified as Black/African American or Hispanic/Latino/a, while those with lower levels were more likely to be classified as White.

Conclusions: When coping with bereavement, individuals who engage in traditional expressions of spiritual worship and strive to achieve ordinary and transcendental spiritual goals are more likely to rely on a secure relationship with the sacred, a belief that life has meaning, and a sense of connectedness with their religious community. Also, individuals who place greater value and emotional significance in their sense of belonging to their ethnic group are more likely to engage in positive religious coping. Thus, counseling psychologists should strengthen their multicultural and spiritual competencies in order to provide ethical and effective services to a population that is increasingly diverse.

The purpose of this study was to examine, from an Adlerian perspective, how religious conversion enables some individuals to make life-style changes. Data was collected from the autobiography of Thomas Merton, and interviews of two men and two women over the age of fifty having had religious conversions at least ten years in the past. The interview consisted of a life-style analysis, a measure of social interest, an analysis of conversion memories, a contextual report of the conversion, and a comparison of before and after the conversions in terms of five life tasks--work, love, community, spirituality and self-regulation. This research indicated that no one life-style type was predisposed to conversion. Change in life-style after religious conversion appeared to correlate with increased social interest rather than with change in dominant goal of behavior. Thus, changing life-style does not appear to require the difficult task of changing the dominant goal of behavior.

Texto completo da fonte

Resumo:

People often make markedly different choices depending on the context in which options are presented, even when the objective values of the options are identical. This irrational choice phenomenon is termed the framing effect. For example, people tend to take more risks when the potential for a loss is emphasized, but choose the certain outcome more often when the same decision is framed in terms of potential gains. A recent fMRI study proposed that the framing effect is modulated by an interaction between the amygdala and ventromedial frontal lobes (VMF). Here we asked whether VMF damage alters the framing effect, measured using several widely used risky and attribute framing tasks, including the classic "Asian-Disease Problem", a multi-trial risky decision paradigm with monetary losses and gains, and scenarios where attributes of decision options are framed in positive or negative terms. Thirteen patients with chronic focal damage affecting the VMF were compared to 13 patients with frontal damage sparing the VMF and 28 demographically-matched healthy participants. VMF damage did not systematically alter the magnitude of the framing effect in any of these tasks. However, patients with VMF damage were somewhat more likely to make aberrant choices in trials with objectively better options compared to controls. This supports the role of the VMF in the comparison of option values, but suggests that the setting of the decision 'frame' is a distinct process that does not rely on the VMF. Instead, the framing effect may be the result of simplifying heuristics, or decision 'short cuts'. These results highlight the likely existence of multiple decision mechanisms within the human brain.
Les individus font souvent des choix visiblement différents en fonction du contexte dans lequel les options sont présentées, même lorsque les valeurs objectives de ces options sont identiques. Ce phénomène de choix irrationnel a été nommé effet de cadrage. Par exemple, les individus ont tendance à prendre plus de risque lorsque l'emphase est mise sur la possibilité d'échec, mais ont plus tendance à choisir le résultat garanti lorsque les mêmes options sont présentées en termes de profits potentiels. Une récente étude fIRM propose que l'effet de cadrage est modulé par une intéraction entre l'amygdale et le cortex préfrontal ventromédian (VM). À ce stade, nous nous sommes demandés si des lésions au VM ont une influence sur l'effet de cadrage à l'aide de différentes tâches expérimentales évaluant sois le cadrage par risque ou celui par attribut. Nos tâches utilisées incluent la célèbre étude expérimentale « Asian Disease », des essais multiples sur les décisions risquées avec pertes et gains monétaires, et des scénarios où les choix sont formulés en termes positifs ou négatifs. Treize patients avec lésions focales affectant le VM ont été comparés à 13 patients présentant les lésions préfrontales qui épargnent le VM ainsi qu'à un échantillon de 28 participants normaux. Nos résultats démontrent que les dommages au VM n'altèrent pas de façon systématique l'ampleur de l'effet de cadrage dans aucune de ces tâches. Cependant, comparés aux deux autres groups, les patients ayant des lésions au cortex ventromédian étaient plus enclins à faire des choix aberrants lors d'essais où leurs alternatives étaient meilleures. Ceci met en évidence le rôle du VM dans l'évaluation des choix, mais suggère que la mise en place d'un cadre décisionnel est un processus distinct qui ne dépend pas du VM. Au contraire, l'effet de cadrage pourrait être l'aboutissement d'heuristiques. Ces résultats suggèrent l'existence probable de mécanismes multiples dans le cerveau participant à la prise de décisions.

Political Science
Ph.D.
There has been both praise and vilification of religion's role in shaping democratic citizens. By focusing on individual differences, religious motivations can help explain the complex relationship between religion and good citizenship, especially concerning the important topics of political engagement and prejudice. This dissertation will demonstrate that in order to understand the connection between religion and democratic citizenship, we must consider people's religious motivations. We must go beyond traditional approaches that only consider people's beliefs and behaviors. Religious motivation is a powerful measurement tool providing a richer framework than traditional measures of religiosity when answering a variety of questions regarding democratic citizenship. It is also a unique measure of individual difference with independent effects going beyond measures of personality, open-mindedness, ideology, and religiosity. The goal of this dissertation is twofold. First, it will establish religious motivation as an important measure that can greatly aid our understanding of the relationship between religion and democratic citizenship. Second, this dissertation will demonstrate how religious motivation can clarify religion's relationship with two specific measures of democratic citizenship: prejudice and political engagement. To meet these goals, this dissertation employs nationally representative surveys including a unique survey-experiment to provide evidence of religious motivations' important explanatory power. The findings suggest it is not what religious service you attend, or even how often you attend, but the motivation for being religious that best explains the level of political engagement and prejudice.

Texto completo da fonte

Resumo:

Introduction: Alcohol misuse is a major public health concern, resulting in an estimated 88,000 deaths annually in the U.S. Negative religious coping (NRC) is a known risk factor for alcohol misuse; yet, research has not examined potential protective factors that might weaken this linkage. Forgiveness and humility are commonly-studied spiritual factors linked to positive health-related outcomes, but they have not been explored in the context of NRC and alcohol misuse. In our study, we assessed the potential protective role of forgiveness and humility in the association between NRC and alcohol misuse, among religious believers and non-believers. Methods: Participants in this IRB-approved study were recruited online via Amazon’s Mechanical Turk and self-identified as religious believers (n = 146) or non-believers (n = 120). After providing informed consent, participants completed self-report surveys including the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), Brief RCOPE, Heartland Forgiveness Scale (Forgiveness of Others), and a single item measure of humility. Results: At the bivariate level, for religious non-believers, humility was positively associated with forgiveness (r = .27, p < .01) and negatively associated with NRC (r = -.20, p < .05) and AUDIT scores (r = -.17, p < .05). Forgiveness was negatively associated with NRC (r = -.18, p < .05) and NRC was positively associated with AUDIT scores (r = .28, p < .01). For religious believers, humility was positively associated with forgiveness (r = .25, p < .01) and negatively associated with AUDIT scores (r = -.17, p < .05). Forgiveness was negatively associated with NRC (r = -.29, p < .01) and AUDIT scores (r = -.20, p < .01) and NRC was positively associated with AUDIT scores (r = -.22, p < .01). At the multivariate level, for religious believers, forgiveness moderated the relation between NRC and AUDIT scores (R2Δ = .04, p = .01), but humility did not. For religious non-believers, humility moderated the relation between NRC and AUDIT scores (R2Δ = .07, p < .01, but forgiveness did not. Conclusions: Negative religious coping is a significant risk factor for alcohol misuse among religious believers and non-believers. In the context of NRC, positive psychological constructs may provide a novel approach to reducing alcohol misuse. Forgiveness of others was protective against alcohol use problems for religious believers engaging in NRC, whereas humility was protective for religious non-believers. As a tenet of most religions, forgiveness of others may be particularly significant for religious believers in resolving NRC, of which a feature is feeling abandoned by other religious believers. For non-believers, NRC may manifest as questioning the existence of God, and humility may promote a sense of comfort in their uncertainty. Positive psychology interventions such as forgiveness therapy or the PROVE humility intervention may be effective interventions for alcohol misuse, in the context of NRC.

Because the way mothers play with their children may have significant impacts on children's social, cognitive, and linguistic development, researchers have become interested in potential predictors of maternal play. In the present study, 40 mother–infant dyads were followed from child age 5–20 months. Five-month habituation rate and 13 and 20 month temperamental difficulty were found to be predictive of maternal play quality at 20 months. The most parsimonious theoretical model was one in which habituation was mediated by temperamental difficulty in predicting mother play. Consistent with prior speculation in the literature, these data support the possibility that mothers adjust some aspects of their play behaviors to fit their children's cognitive and temperamental capabilities.

Resumo:

Supervision research has demonstrated the importance of a strong supervisory working alliance in the context of clinical training. However, little is known about what specifically occurs in clinical supervision that contributes to a strong supervisory working alliance. The present study of counselor trainees was designed to investigate relations among their avoidant attachment style, perceptions of relational behaviors used by their supervisors in the most recent supervision session, and the supervisory working alliance. Competing hypotheses stated that greater use of relational behavior on the part of supervisors would either mediate or moderate the inverse relationship between trainees' avoidant attachment style and their perceptions of the supervisory working alliance.

Master's and doctoral trainees in the mental health professions were contacted through listservs, training directors, and social media with a link to the web-based study. The measures were the Experiences in Close Relationships Scale-Revised ( ECR-R; Fraley, Waller & Brennan, 2000), the Relational Behavior Scale (RBS), which was developed based on Ladany, Friedlander, and Nelson's (2005) Critical Events model of supervision and assesses perceptions of supervisors' use of 5 specific interpersonal behaviors in supervision (exploration of feelings, focus on therapeutic process, attend to parallel process, focus on countertransference, and focus on supervisory alliance), and the Working Alliance Inventory—Trainee version (WAI-T; Bahrick, 1989).

Based on the present sample (N = 141) and a similar earlier sample (total N = 262), a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted on the Relational Behavior Scale, which confirmed that a 5-item, one factor solution best fit the data and accounted for 53.38% of the total variance. Results indicated that neither the mediation nor moderation hypotheses was supported. Specifically, trainees' avoidant attachment style was not significantly related to the supervisory working alliance or to the perceived relational behavior of supervisors. However, a significant positive association (r = .62, p = .0001) emerged between scores on the RBS and the WAI-T, providing evidence that supervisors' use of specific in-session relational strategies are strongly associated with trainees' more favorable perceptions of the working alliance. Continued study of relational behavior may enhance theories of interpersonal supervision, provide training guidelines for new supervisors, and suggest strategies for purposeful intervention to build strong alliances with trainees, who in turn may use these modeled behaviors to build strong alliances with their clients.

In this thesis, the author investigates the Process Work contributions to men and power.The theories of men and power are researched and how Process Work and its applications, including the concept of rank, are useful adjuncts to the existing theories of power are demonstrated.The inquiry includes heuristic, qualitative and subjective methods.It is recognised that men are a diverse group, and the rank held is important if it is to be used well.Those who suffer from the poor use of rank can often provide valuable information about the effects of poor use of rank.Power by itself is limited.At moments such as when we are close to death power becomes less relevant. A deeper vision emerges related to the greater meaning of our lives and the legacy we have in our depths.It is a vision for all of us to use the rank we have to further the deepest values and aspirations of our lives, to the benefit of all living beings.

Resumo:

The thalamus is a heterogeneous brain region involved in sensory processes, movement and cognition. While there is much literature detailing the anatomy and electrophysiological properties of the midline thalamus, there is little data on the functional aspects of this region. There has recently been an interest in determining how the nucleus reuniens (NRe) of the midline thalamus is involved in cognitive processes, given its anatomical connections with both prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. While a few studies have focused on the NRe's involvement in memory (given its projections to the hippocampus), none have empirically examined whether the structure contributes to higher order, prefrontal-dependent functions. As such, there are two primary objectives of this dissertation. The first is to examine the anatomical organization of the NRe, and the second, to characterize the involvement of the NRe in higher order cognitive functions.Chapter 1 provides a review of the anatomical and functional literature describing the NRe. Traditional tracing studies have identified the NRe as a source of monosynaptic input to both the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, but none have conclusively identified the NRe as the sole relay of prefrontal-hippocampal communication. In Chapter 2, we describe the use of a transynaptic tracer (pseudorabies virus, strain Bartha) to map the disynaptic connections from the prefrontal cortex to the hippocampus. We found that the NRe of the midline thalamus is one potential relay between the ventral prefrontal cortex and ventral hippocampus. As both of these regions have been implicated in response control and higher order cognitive behaviours, in Chapters 3 and 4 we tested rats with NRe lesions in behavioural tasks which assessed components of executive function. In Chapter 3, we measured the effects of rat NRe lesions in a test of inhibitory control and attention. Rats with NRe lesions displayed a high motivation to retrieve their food reward, and were able to accurately detect brief visual stimuli. In addition, lesions of the NRe resulted in transient impulsive behaviour while simultaneously decreasing compulsive responding. Given these behavioural changes, we further attempted to characterize the involvement of the NRe in prefrontal-dependent functions in Chapter 4. In a test of attention and working memory, we found that rats with NRe lesions were superior in their ability to attend to visual stimuli, as well as inhibit themselves from responding prior to the onset of the stimuli. However, the NRe-lesioned animals were initially unable to perform the working memory component of the task. This deficit was also seen during the acquisition of a spatial working memory task, but did not persist in subsequent sessions of testing. Rats with NRe lesions were faster and more accurately able to perform a discrimination task, and did not have difficulty with adapting to changes in the contingencies of the task. Unlike the previous experiments, the NRe lesion had no effect on behaviours assessed during a test of decision making.These findings are summarized in Chapter 5, in which the implications of the experimental data are discussed. While we have confirmed that the NRe is indeed a major thalamic link between the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, we have also identified the subdivisions of the regions to which it connects. Furthermore, our data has extended the available behavioural literature regarding the function of the NRe, and how it is involved in higher order cognitive processes. We conclude that the NRe is clearly involved in a range of complex and prefrontal-dependent behaviours, proposing that this thalamic region is integral to executive function from both an anatomical and functional perspective.
Le thalamus est une région hétérogène du cerveau impliquée dans les processus sensoriels, cognitifs ainsi que locomoteurs. Alors que la litterature détaillant l'anatomie et les propriétés électophysiologiques des noyaux thalamiques médians abonde, il existe peu de données décrivant son aspect fonctionnel. Considérant les connections anatomiques du noyau réuniens (NRe) du thamalus médian au cortex préfrontal et à l'hippocampe, de plus en plus de recherches se sont penchées sur son rôle dans les processus cognitifs. Alors que quelques études se sont penchées sur le rôle du NRe dans la mémoire (puisqu'il projette à l'hippocampe), aucune n'avait empiriquement examinée si le NRe contribuait aux fonctions cognitives supérieures dépendantes du cortex préfrontal (FCS). Ainsi, cette thèse se penchera sur deux aspects principaux du NRe. D'abord, l'organisation anatomique du NRe sera examinée, puis, son implication dans les FCS sera caractérisée. Le chapitre 1 fournira une révue de la littérature décrivant l'anatomie et les fonctions du NRe. Les études de traçage traditionnelles ont identifié le NRe comme fournissant une entrée monosynaptique à la fois au cortex préfontal et à l'hippocampe. Cependant, aucune étude n'a encore identifié le NRe comme un relais unique de la communication prefonto-hippocampal. Le chapitre 2 décrit l'utilisation d'un traceur transynaptique (l'herpèsvirus Bartha) afin de cartographier les connections disynpatiques partant du cortex préfontal à l'hippocampe. Les résultats présentés dans cette thèse montre que le NRe est un relais potentiel entre le cortex préfontal ventral et l'hippocampe ventral. Comme ces deux régions sont impliquées dans le contrôle de la réponse et les fonctions cognitives supérieures, les chapitre 3 et 4 traiteront des perfomances de rats ayant subis une lésion du NRe à des tâches comportementales évaluant les fonctions exécutives.Le chapitre 3 expose les effets d'une lésion du NRe chez le rat dans un test de contrôle de l'inhibition et d'attention. Les rats avec une lésion du NRe montrent une motivation accentuée pour obtenir la nourriture et démontre leur capacité à détecter précisément des stimuli visuels brefs. De plus, la lésion du NRe provoqua l'apparition de comportement impulsifs transitoires en plus de diminuer les réponses compulsives. Étant donné ces changements comportementaux, le rôle du NRe dans les FCS est caractérisé davantage au chapitre 4. Dans un test évaluant l'attention et la mémoire de travail, il a été démontré que les rats avec une lésion du NRe montraient une capacité supérieure à suivre les stimuli visuels ainsi qu'à inhiber leurs réponses avant l'apparition de ces stimuli. Cependant, les animaux ayant subi une lésion du NRe étaient initialement incapable de compléter la composante de la tâche impliquant la mémoire de travail. Ce déficit était aussi présent durant l'apprentissage de la tâche requérant la mémoire spatiale de travail mais a fini par s'estomper au fil des sessions subséquentes. Les rats avec une lésion du NRe étaient plus rapides à compléter une tâche de discrimination avec une plus grande précision et n'ont pas eu de difficulté à s'adapter aux changements de contingences de la tâche. Contrairement aux résultats précédents, la lésion du NRe n'a pas affecté le comportement tel qu'évalué durant une tâche de prise de décision.L'implication des ces résultats expérimentaux est discutée au chapitre 5. Il a été non seulement confirmé que le NRe est effectivement un lien majeur entre le cortex préfontal et l'hippocampe mais ces résultats identifient aussi avec une plus grande précision les régions où ils se connectent. De plus, ces données enrichissent la littérature comportementale sur le rôle du NRe et son implication dans les FCS. En conclusion, le NRe est clairement impliqué dans un éventail de FCS soutenant la thèse que cette région du thamalus est partie prenante des fonctions exécutives non seulement anatomiquement mais aussi fonctionnellement.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between critical thinking and religious schema as represented by religious orientation. Past research has included religious belief within the larger construct of paranormal belief, and demonstrated a correlation between high levels of paranormal belief and poor critical thinking skills. Studies in the psychology of religion suggested that a more complex religious measure based on religious orientation was necessary to understand these correlations. Additionally, schema theory offered a cognitive framework within which to experimentally test the cause of these correlations. This study found that primed religious schema did not account for the relationship between paranormal/religious belief and critical thinking skills. This study did find that poor critical thinking performance was predicted by higher levels of extrinsic religious orientation.

Zoo chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) are restricted in their choice of social and physical environments. This allows for a strong test of environmental predictors of happiness including the chimpanzee-environment fit and the degree of relatedness between a chimpanzee and its enclosure mates. The interrelatedness of zoo chimpanzees permit the study of genetic and environmental contributions to Dominance and subjective well-being (SWB) and their common genetic or environmental causes. Demographic predictors such as age and sex and environmental predictors such as density of males and females, density of male and female kin, and how similar in personality a chimpanzee was to other chimpanzees in its enclosure were tested first. A series of two-, three-, and four-way interactions was also tested. First, the effects of these predictors on Dominance were tested. Next, these effects were tested on SWB after the variance SWB shared with Dominance was removed. Eight behavioral genetic models were then tested. These models incorporated genetic and environmental variance and covariance components and any significant predictors that were discovered in the previous environmental analysis. The relationship between age and Dominance was positive and stronger for males than females. The relationship between age and SWB was negative. The genetic model that had the best fit and most parsimony included additive genetic effects and non-shared environmental effects for Dominance and SWB. Zoo effects were negligible. Finally, the genetic correlation between Dominance and SWB was almost entirely due to shared genes. These findings are consistent with a model positing that Dominance and SWB arise from a common temperament and are differentiated by nonshared environmental influences. They suggest that happiness in apes and humans may be a sexually selected fitness indicator.

Resumo:

The Association for Spiritual, Ethical, and Religious Values in Counseling (ASERVC) identifies 9 core competencies for integrating spirituality/religion into practice. Previous research indicates that some mental health professionals have experienced discomfort when considering the balance between religious ideology (RI) and scientific orientation (SO) in their practice. However, no research exists assessing this potential for cognitive dissonance among mental health professionals nor has there been a test of the relative influence of RI/SO on approval of ASERVC competency integration into counselor training. Therefore, the purpose of this quantitative study was first to assess RI/SO cognitive dissonance and, second, to test RI/SO relative to ASERVC competency integration. The Religious Ideology, Scientific Orientation, Conflict Questionnaire and Core Competency Questionnaire was administered to a random sample of American Psychological Association and American Counseling Association professionals. The results from t tests revealed a significant difference in cognitive dissonance with higher scores on both RI/SO associated with greater dissonance. Multiple regression analysis revealed neither RI nor SO predict competency approval. Findings suggest an important social-change implication: Counselors may not perceive a conflict between RI and SO and, therefore, may be willing to accept the integration of the ASERVC competencies into their training. Implications also include changes in curricular requirements within academic programs that train counselors, social workers, and psychologists to integrate these competencies; considerations for ethical guidelines addressing religious and spiritual diversity; and the development of continuing education coursework pertaining to spiritual and religious diversity competencies.

An examination is made of important influences that shaped both the development of Plato's religious and philosophical teachings/theories of the Soul and Spirit which were based on core Spiritual Laws or Principles, and his scheme of education as outlined in the Republic. Included are Plato's early years and the teachings and influence of Socrates and the Orphic, Pythagorean and Eleusinian Mystery Schools. Plato's system of education is shown to be very much influenced by the Pythagoreans, to involve the 'Principle of Initiation' and to be soul-centered, where all thought is related to 'The One'. The conclusion is that the philosophy and teaching of education today tends to ignore the important integrative principle of unity--the Soul/Spirit connection. A renewed philosophy and scheme of education is introduced incorporating a vision of the whole person.

This study was conducted to gain a better understanding of HIV/AIDS-related stigma within religious communities in rural Gujarat, India. This study used the hidden distress model of HIV stigma and the HIV peer education model as conceptual frameworks to examine a rural population sample of 100 participants. Regression analysis was conducted to test if school education had a moderating effect on the relationship between illness as punishment for sin (IPS) and HIV stigma. Religiosity was tested for mediating effects on the relationship between early religious involvement (ERI) and HIV stigma. The results of this study indicated that single unemployed men under the age of 28 were more likely to relate religiosity, IPS, and ERI to HIV stigma. Furthermore, education did not significantly moderate the relationship between IPS and HIV Stigma, and religiosity also did not mediate the relationship between ERI and HIV stigma. However, an additional mediation analysis showed that IPS did mediate the relationship between religiosity and HIV stigma in this study. The results of this study suggested that HIV/AIDS awareness programs may need to focus on young unemployed men because they may be the most susceptible to stigmatic thinking. It can be concluded that IPS was a major contributor in the proliferation of HIV stigma for participants in this study. Further research is needed to understand how belief in an authoritarian God could increase IPS, and how education initiatives may aid in decreasing IPS among inhabitants. This study strived to add to the existing body of knowledge and help improve the lives of those infected with HIV in rural parts of India.

Texto completo da fonte

Resumo:

Prenatal depression is a significant problem because of the myriad psychosocial, somatic and obstetrical complications it poses. Numerous studies have confirmed that religiosity is related to positive health consequences, such as decreased levels of depression, but few have looked at religiosity’s relation to prenatal depression. Evidence is accumulating that Surrender to God, a specific measure of religiosity, is a possible mechanism by which religiosity positively impacts health, and this study is an investigation of Surrender’s relationship to prenatal depression. The 3-item Religious Surrender and Attendance Scale (RSAS-3) is a brief religiosity measurement that incorporates Surrender and church attendance. RSAS-3 was previously found to better predict stress levels during pregnancy than church attendance alone, and it was theorized that it would also be useful in predicting depression levels. Participants in the current study included 330 pregnant women who were enrolled in the state funded project, Tennessee Intervention for Pregnant Smokers, which enrolled smokers and nonsmokers. Participants met with a case manager at their prenatal care provider and completed two packets of questionnaires: one in the first trimester and one in the third trimester. Measures used in this study included the RSAS-3, and the Centers for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD-10). Participants were paid $20 for each research meeting. Zero order correlations revealed that Education level and RSAS-3 were significantly negatively related to depression levels in the first trimester and approaching significance in the third trimester. Education was therefore included in the hierarchical regression model in step 1 and RSAS-3 in step 2. Hierarchical multiple regression revealed that the full model explained 4% of the variance in 1st trimester depression scores (F 2, 325) = 11.5, p <.001., with RSAS-3 explaining an additional 2.6% of the variance in depression after controlling for education, R squared change = .026, F change (1, 325) p = .003 The full model for 3rd trimester depression explained 6.7% of the variance in 1st trimester depression scores (F 2, 197) = 9.00, p <.001. RSAS-3 explained an additional 1.7% of the variance in depression after controlling for education, R squared change = .017, F change (1, 197) p = .058. RSAS-3 was found to predict depression levels throughout pregnancy, with those scoring higher on RSAS-3 having significantly lower depression scores. A noteworthy strength of the current study is the prospective design. While being religious does not guarantee depression will not occur, early treatment of depression symptoms can assuage negative health consequences for the mother and child. If further research verifies a causal mechanism between Surrender and depression, non-pharmacologic treatments utilizing religious coping may be useful for prenatal depression.

This project investigated the spiritual well-being (SWB) of psychotherapists in training and their physiological reactions to religious questions posed by a mock client. Electrodermal activity served as an index of physiological arousal interpreted as anxiety. Thirteen psychotherapists in training at the University of North Texas were recruited. They participated in a simulated intake session with a mock client who asked the psychotherapist neutral questions, personal-other questions (POQs), and personal-religious questions (PRQs). It was discovered that the level of SWB did not affect subjects' anxiety responses to PRQs. There also was no difference in subjects' anxiety responses for POQs between high and low SWB therapists. However, psychotherapists did experience some anxiety associated with questions related to their counseling experience and expertise.
