Повний текст джерелаBased on the premise that the hippocampus is both affected by cortisol and intimately involved in episodic memory and spatial cognition, the general aim of this study was to investigate the effects of psychosocial stress (and consequent cortisol increase) on spatial cognition and verbal memory in men and women. One group of 33 participants (16 males and 17 females) were exposed to the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST; Kirschbaum, Pirke, & Hellhammer, 1993), a procedure designed to induce mild psychosocial stress. I used 3 different means to check the effectiveness of this stress induction: salivary cortisol, self-report via the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and heart-rate measurements. The measures all converged to suggest that the stress induction procedure was successful. A control group of29 participants (15 males and 14 females) was exposed to a relaxation period rather than the TSST. Following this part of the experimental protocol, all participants completed a virtual environment spatial navigation task and a word-list learning and recall task. Results showed that, on the spatial navigation task, females and males who were not exposed to the stressor located and relocated a hidden target equally well (Le., cognitive map-guided navigation was intact in unstressed participants). In addition, on the spatial navigation task the interaction effect of the gender and experimental condition approached statistical significance (p = 0.085), suggesting that females exposed to the stressor required more time to locate and relocate a hidden target than did the other participants (Le., they were disrupted in their cognitive map-guided navigation). On the verbal memory task, participants who showed larger cortisol increases following exposure to the TSST tended to recall fewer words than did those with smaller cortisol increases, with a slightly stronger negative correlation in males than in females. The data therefore confirm that stress impacts different memory systems in different ways, and, perhaps more importantly, that sex differences play a role in moderating those effects. This is the first demonstration, within a single study, of a possible double dissociation of sex differences in cognitive performance following induction of mild psychosocial stress.

Повний текст джерелаDe nos jours, le stress est considéré comme un enjeu sociétal majeur qui continue de prendre de l'ampleur. Il a d'ailleurs été démontré qu'il a un impact néfaste considérable sur la santé et un lien direct avec plusieurs psychopathologies ainsi que les maladies cardiovasculaires. Cependant, les mécanismes par lesquels le stress cause un état pathologique n'ont pas encore été identifiés. Il y a principalement deux systèmes physiologiques sollicités au cours d'une réaction de stress : le système nerveux sympathique (SNS) et l'axe hypothalamo-pituito-surrénalien (HPS). Une hypothèse d'interaction entre les deux systèmes a été émise; par contre, la nature exacte de leur relation fait toujours l'objet d'études. En plus de la réponse biologique, il y a aussi l'expérience émotionnelle subjective du stress qui est considérée comme étant le déclencheur des réponses endocrines et physiques. Une relation entre ces trois variables semble donc logique, toutefois la littérature sur ce sujet récence plusieurs résultats contradictoires.Par conséquent, cette thèse tente de comprendre la relation entre les réponses endocrines, physiologiques et psychologiques lors d'une situation de stress.Pour ce faire, nous avons combiné une approche pharmacologique avec la tâche de stress psychologique la plus utilisée en laboratoire – le « Trier Social Stress Test » (TSST). Avant d'exposer les participants au TSST, nous avons inhibé les deux systèmes physiologiques, soit individuellement ou collectivement. Tout au long du protocole, plusieurs biomarqueurs des axes SNS et HPS, y compris le cortisol et l'alpha-amylase salivaires, la fréquence cardiaque et la pression artérielle ont été mesurés. Les différentes facettes du stress subjectif ont également été mesurées au moyen de questionnaires et d'échelles visuelles analogiques.Notre première constatation suggère une relation inverse entre les systèmes biologiques HPS et SNS. Lorsqu'un des systèmes est inhibé, l'autre montre une activité accrue. Le dérèglement de chacun de ces systèmes a été associé à des conséquences néfastes sur la santé. Le fait de mieux comprendre la façon de garder un équilibre entre les axes HPS et SNS peut donc être un facteur important dans la prévention des pathologies, comme la dépression et les maladies cardiovasculaires. Nous avons également observé un lien entre l'état subjectif du stress et le SNS. Ces résultats sont en accord avec la « Two-Factor Theory of Emotion » qui stipule que l'activité physiologique contribue à l'état subjectif du stress. D'autre part, l'inquiétude chronique a été associée à l'activité de l'axe HPS, ce qui suggère que le niveau de névrosisme pourrait agir comme seuil de détection du danger. Logiquement, il ne serait pas associé au SNS qui a un effet transitoire, mais plutôt à son analogue biologique, l'axe HPS.Les recherches futures dans ce domaine mèneront certainement à des résultats intéressants qui contribueront à la compréhension des composantes émotionnelles du stress, de son fonctionnement interne et de l'étiologie des troubles qui en résultent. Principalement, il permettra d'élargir notre compréhension de ce vaste concept et de contribuer à la prévention de ses effets néfastes sur la santé.

Type-T behavior is a term coined by F. Farley (see McGraw-Hill, Concise Dictionary of Modern Medicine, 2002) to reflect individual differences in risk-taking and thrill-seeking (T) behavior. This study was designed to explore and expand the understanding of Type-T behavior in relation to other individual differences of current psychological and educational interest, namely flourishing, mindset, psychological entitlement, creativity/innovation, and stress. The study used both a college student sample and a non-college adult sample to investigate whether the type of sample makes a difference in research of this type. The inclusion of the latter sample was prompted by the need to identify and examine psychological processes beyond the college undergraduate, given the over-representation of the latter participants in psychological research. Four hundred seventy- two participants including two hundred forty-eight students and two hundred twenty-four non-college adults completed an online survey designed to measure the aforementioned personality and psychological variables. Results of multiple regressions with pairwise deletion of missing data showed that college students and non-college adults with high risk-taking/thrill-seeking behaviors (Big T) reported higher levels of flourishing. Big Ts were also more self-entitled. Younger participants reported higher levels of Type-T than older participants. Additionally, males reported higher levels of Type-T behaviors than did females. The results of the Pearson correlations in non-college samples showed significant positive correlations of Type-T scores with malleable mindset, flourishing, and age; Type-T was found to be negatively correlated with fixed mindset, while the correlation for the college sample was non-significant. Those who reported higher levels of risk-taking/thrill-seeking behaviors were more likely to report a malleable mindset rather than a fixed mindset. The results of Pearson correlations among the scales in the college sample were somewhat different from the non-college sample. Type-T was significantly associated with entitlement, malleable mindset, flourishing, creativity, and gender. For the total sample, respondents with higher Type-T scored higher on entitlement, had a lower level of fixed mindset but a higher level of malleable mindset, a higher level of flourishing, more creativity, were younger, and were more frequently males. This study has expanded our understanding of Type-T behavior, enriching its description, bringing important new constructs into the discussion (e.g. mindset, self-entitlement, flourishing), and discerning provocative new relationships among some of the studied non-T variables themselves. If risk-taking and the responsiveness to change are signal qualities in human innovation and progress, then a focus on the personal representation of these features as in Type-T may be one key to personal and societal success in a rapidly evolving world.

Повний текст джерелаAlthough recognition of the constellation of emotional and mental events that comprise trauma date back to the late 19th century, contemporary curative approaches are derived from World War II desensitization treatments for battle fatigue that appear today in exposure-based therapies. To bring trauma therapy up to date, application of a phenomenological research method to critique contemporary treatments for posttraumatic stress disorder requires a multisystemic approach to the mind–body constellation that is clinically informed by state-of-the-art neuroscientific research relating to the pathophysiology of trauma. Particularly important is understanding the necessity of cross-hemispheric integration of emotional and cognitive imprints that persist after traumatic events. Mindfulness-based therapies such as the metacognitive model, emotion-focused therapies, and breath training such as samatha meditation techniques as well as the incorporation of somatic and ecopsychological approaches such as saltwater immersion are all effective, long-term, compassionate solutions that create lasting recovery from trauma and its adverse consequences to the life and well-being of the trauma victim.

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: Burnout levels have been found to be high among nurses in both public and private hospitals in South Africa. Burnout is defined within the human services as a syndrome of emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation, and reduced personal accomplishment that can occur among individuals who work with people in some capacity. High levels of burnout have been linked to nurses’ intention to leave the profession, which places additional strain on an already struggling public health system characterised by a shortage of nurses in South Africa. The primary aim of the present cross-sectional correlational study was to determine the proportion of the variance in burnout among nurses accounted for by the linear combination of certain demographic characteristics and occupational stress factors. Secondary aims were to determine the relationship between such factors and burnout levels and to determine the average level of burnout and occupational stress factors reported. A convenience sample of 110 nurses was recruited from a public hospital located in the Western Cape. An analytical survey design for the collection of quantitative data was used. The results of hierarchical multiple regression analyses indicated that workload, interpersonal conflict at work, job status, organisational constraints, and HIV/AIDS stigma by association significantly predicted burnout levels. The linear combination of these variables accounted for 38% of the variance in emotional exhaustion, 32% of the variance in depersonalisation, and 12% of the variance in personal accomplishment. Death and dying-related stress and age did not predict burnout levels. Age was also the only predictor variable not significantly associated with burnout levels. Although burnout levels were not found to be high on average, 34% of the sample reported high levels of emotional exhaustion. A high average level of workload was also reported. It is recommended that future research should focus on the development and evaluation of interventions to ameliorate burnout among South African nurses.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hoë vlakke van uitbranding is bevind onder verpleegkundiges in beide openbare en private hospitale in Suid-Afrika. Uitbranding word binne die menslike dienste gedefinieer as 'n sindroom van emosionele uitputting, depersonalisasie en verminderde persoonlike vervulling wat kan voorkom onder individue wat werk met mense in een of ander hoedanigheid. Hoë vlakke van uitbranding is gekoppel aan verpleegkundiges se voorneme om die professie te verlaat, wat bykomende druk plaas op 'n reeds sukkelende openbare gesondheidstelsel gekenmerk deur 'n tekort aan verpleegkundiges in Suid-Afrika. Die primêre doel van die huidige deursnee- korrelasionele studie was om te bepaal hoeveel van die variansie in uitbranding onder verpleegkundiges voorspel word deur die lineêre kombinasie van sekere demografiese eienskappe en beroepstresfaktore. Sekondêre doelwitte was om die verhouding tussen sodanige faktore en uitbrandingsvlakke te bepaal en om die gemiddelde vlak van uitbranding en beroepstresfaktore soos gerapporteer te bepaal. ’n Gerieflikheidsteekproef van 110 verpleegkundiges is gewerf uit 'n openbare hospitaal geleë in die Wes-Kaap. 'n Analitiese opname-ontwerp vir die insameling van kwantitatiewe data is gebruik. Die resultate van hiërargiese meervoudige regressie-ontledings het aangedui dat werkslading, interpersoonlike konflik by die werk, werkstatus, organisatoriese beperkinge , en MIV/VIGS stigma deur assosiasie uitbrandingsvlakke beduidend voorspel het. Die lineêre kombinasie van hierdie veranderlikes was verantwoordelik vir 38% van die variansie in emosionele uitputting, 32% van die variansie in depersonalisasie, en 12% van die variansie in persoonlike vervulling. Dood en sterfte-verwante stres en ouderdom het nie uitbrandingsvlakke voorspel nie. Ouderdom was ook die enigste veranderlike wat nie beduidend geassosieer was met uitbrandingsvlakke nie. Alhoewel dit bevind is dat gemiddelde vlakke van uitbranding nie hoog is nie, het 34% van die steekproef hoë vlakke van emosionele uitputting gerapporteer. 'n Hoë gemiddelde vlak van werkslading is ook aangemeld. Dit word aanbeveel dat toekomstige navorsing toegespits behoort te word op die ontwikkeling en evaluering van ingrypings om uitbranding onder Suid-Afrikaanse verpleegkundiges aan te spreek.

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: Introduction: This is a multidisciplinary investigation of stress in working males. The physiological aspect of the stress response is focused primarily on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis; the health outcomes focus on cardiovascular risk and the psychological aspect focuses on both personality and state. Aims: To assess psychological and physiological measures of stress and determine if they are associated. To assess the effect of massage as a relaxation intervention on these measures. Abstract: Section 1 This study consisted of 16 working, stressed males. Certain measures of allostatic load were determined, on 2 occasions 1 week apart with appropriate control (serum cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate (DHEAs), total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein) as well as perceived stress levels (State Anxiety, Profile of Mood (POMS), Job Satisfaction (JS), Symptoms of Stress (SYMP». Measurements of personality (Trait Anxiety and Hardiness, with subs cores Commitment, Control and Challenge) and anthropometric measurements were obtained. Repeatability was assessed and then data was averaged. Correlation analysis was done between baseline physiological and psychological parameters. (All r values reported in this abstract have P<0.05, unless otherwise stated). Section 2 11 of the 16 subjects then had 1 week of intensive massage (5 x Ihr each), after which a 3rd measurement was taken. Findings: Section 1 Certain personalities had differing perceptions of stress (Commitment correlated positively with Vigour, r= 0.59; and negatively with Fatigue and POMS, r= -0.51 and r= -0.54 respectively). Certain personalities influenced JS (Commitment correlated positively to JS, r= 0.55; Trait Anxiety correlated negatively to JS, r= -0.54). Certain personalities manifested stress physiologically (Control correlated negatively with CortisollDHEAs, r= -0.53). Increased perception of stress also resulted in an increased likelihood of experiencing physiological symptoms of stress (e.g. State Anxiety correlated with SYMP, r= 0.50). In contrast, lower perceived stress was associated with increased job satisfaction (POMS correlated with JS, r= -0.64; P

Повний текст джерелаHispanic immigrant parents are a growing yet understudied population. Few studies have addressed the relationship between Hispanic immigrant parents and the acculturation process. The purpose of this study was to determine how acculturative stress, racism, language proficiency, poor coping style, and low levels of social support affect the psychological adjustment of Hispanic immigrant parents. Using the framework of acculturation theory, this quantitative study examined 92 immigrant Hispanic parents from an urban northeast school in the United States. Several established instruments that measured racism, coping style, language proficiency, social support, and psychological distress were used. The results of the multiple regression analysis showed that as Spanish competencies pressure increased, depressive symptoms increased. In addition, as interpersonal support increased, depressive symptoms decreased. Contrary to recent literature, racism, coping style, and language proficiency were not predictive of psychological distress. This study contributes to positive social change by understanding how Spanish competencies pressure can cause psychological distress, thereby giving therapists the sapience to better treat this population with effective therapies such as social support, and thus improving the quality of life of this population.

Повний текст джерелаTo study Type A behaviour as a moderator of relationships between role demands and psychological and behavioural strain, 234 volunteer subjects from a medium-sized life insurance society completed three questionnaires under standardized testing conditions, tapping Type A behaviour (Session 1) and various role dimensions (Session 2) and indices of strain (Session 3). Absenteeism data were taken from employee record cards, as were data for some demographic and organizational variables (race and sex), while others, (company tenure, age and organizational level) were explored in the questionnaires. Assessment sessions were staggered, with one-month intervals between each, to reduce the effects of response sets. Factor analysis of responses to the role dimensions questionnaire confirmed the hypothesized factor structure and led to the development of scales for role conflict, ambiguity, overload and qualitative underload. The reliability and validity of these scales are discussed. Partial correlations (with the linear effects of the demographic and organizational variables removed) and multiple linear regressions indicate that role conflict, ambiguity, overload and underload may be described as social-psychological stressors, in terms of psychological strain, while only underload is weakly related to absenteeism. Type A behaviour is not found to moderate relationships between stressors and strain, with the exception of an effect for underload which may be accounted for in statistical, rather than psychological, terms. Results are interpreted as evidence of the need for improved work design and redesign, particularly in South African organizations. Implications of findings with respect to sequential models of strain, as well as the nature of the relationship between Type A behaviour and CHD, are discussed.

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: In all or most cultures, the experience of infertility has the potential to threaten the well-being of individuals and relationships. The marital relationship of couples experiencing infertility might be impacted negatively by infertility-related stress. This study aimed primarily to examine the nature of the relationship between perceived infertility-related stress, experienced by husbands and wives in infertile couples, and four specific aspects of the marital relationship. In addition, it was examined whether there were significant differences in four specific aspects of the marital relationship between infertile couples at the onset of different types of infertility treatment, and a pregnant control group. This cross-sectional, baseline study utilised standardised self-report questionnaires to make onceoff assessments of infertility-related stress and four specific aspects of the marital relationship: communication, satisfaction with the sexual relationship, intimacy, and marital adjustment. The demographic characteristics of the participants were also recorded. A total of 84 women and 32 men from two infertility clinics in the Western Cape (N = 116) were studied. From calculating Pearson correlation coefficients, highly significant correlations (p < .001) were found between infertility-related stress and all aspects of the marital relationship as measured in this study. Multiple regression analyses revealed communication as an important predictor of aspects of the marital relationship, in addition to infertility-related stress as a predictor. ANOVAs revealed no significant differences in specific aspects of the marital relationship between the infertile groups and the pregnant control group. The findings suggest that high levels of infertility-related stress might be detrimental to the wellbeing of the marital relationship of couples experiencing infertility. In addition, the importance of communication as a buffer against the potential negative effects of infertility-related stress was emphasised. Future research should incorporate a longitudinal design and investigate the nature of the relationship between infertility-related stress and the marital relationship.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Infertiliteit word in alle of die meeste kulture beskou as ’n krisis wat die welstand van individue en verhoudings kan bedreig. Die huweliksverhouding van pare wat infertiliteit ervaar kan negatief beïnvloed word deur infertiliteitsverwante stres. Die primêre doelstelling van hierdie ondersoek was om die aard van die verhouding tussen waargenome infertiliteitsverwante stres, soos ervaar deur die mans en vroue in infertiele pare, en vier spesifieke aspekte van die huweliksverhouding te ondersoek. Bykomend is daar ook ondersoek of daar beduidende verskille voorgekom het in vier spesifieke aspekte van die huweliksverhouding tussen infertiele pare aan die begin van verskillende tipes van infertiliteitsbehandeling en ‘n swanger kontrolegroep. Hierdie deursnee-, basislyn ondersoek het van gestandaardiseerde selfrapporteringsvraelyste gebruik gemaak ten einde eenmalige assesserings te doen van infertiliteitsverwante stres en vier spesifieke aspekte van die huweliksverhouding: kommunikasie, tevredenheid met die seksuele verhouding, intimiteit, en huweliksaanpassing. Demografiese besonderhede van die deelnemers is ook ingesamel en aangeteken. In totaal het 84 vrouens en 32 mans (N = 116) van twee infertiliteitsklinieke in die Wes-Kaap aan die ondersoek deelgeneem. Met die berekening van Pearson korrelasiekoëffisiënte is hoogs beduidende korrelasies (p < .001) gevind tussen infertiliteitsverwante stres en die vier gemete aspekte van die huweliksverhouding. Op grond van meervoudige regressieontledings het kommunikasie na vore gekom as ‘n belangrike voorspeller van aspekte van die huweliksverhouding, bykomend tot infertiliteitsverwante stres. ANOVA’s het geen beduidende verskille in spesifieke aspekte van die huweliksverhouding tussen infertiele groepe en die swanger kontrolegroep getoon nie. Die bevindinge dui daarop dat hoë vlakke van infertiliteitsverwante stres nadelig kan wees vir die huweliksverhouding van pare wat infertiliteit ondervind. Daarbenewens moet die belangrikheid van kommunikasie as ‘n buffer teen die potensiële negatiewe gevolge van infertiliteitsverwante stres beklemtoon word. Toekomstige navorsing sal baat by ’n longitudinale ontwerp en daar behoort voortgegaan te word met ondersoeke na die verband tussen infertiliteitsverwante stres en die huweliksverhouding.
