Accepting Test-Anxiety-Related Thoughts Increases Academic Performance Among Undergraduate Students

Author(s): Ibrahim Senay,Mustafa Cetinkaya,Muhammet Usak / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2012

Given that unwanted thoughts are enhanced when suppressed, we tested among college freshmen who were about to take an academic exam if an acceptance strategy consisting of not suppressing intrusive thoughts will improve test performance. This strategy proved superior to students’ own default strategies as much as a modified, alternative strategy, avoiding the antecedents of intrusive thoughts. Moreover, the combination of the two strategies counteracted a stronger, negative effect of test anxiety on test performance as compared with each strategy used alone. The results suggest that not only intrusive thoughts per se but also the suppression of these thoughts can disrupt test performance, and hint that approaching such thoughts with acceptance may not interfere with simultaneously working toward avoiding the antecedents of these thoughts.

Activation of the attachment system and mentalization in depressive and healthy individuals – an experimental control study

Author(s): Ella Fizke,Anna Buchheim,Florian Juen / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2013

From a developmental and clinical point of view attachment theory and mentalization are closely connected and have become increasingly important to understand the origins of psychopathological development. However, very little is known about how exactly different inner working models of attachment are related to diverse mentalizing abilities and this is particularly true for adult populations – healthy as well as clinical populations. In the present study we investigated this relation with a sample of inpatients diagnosed with depression and a sample of healthy individuals. In an experimental setting the attachment system was activated using the Adult Attachment Projective Picture System (AAP). Mentalization was assessed during activation and in comparison to a control condition using a modified version of the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET). We expected that an activation of the attachment system i) diminishes the capacity to take another’s perspective in individuals with unresolved state of mind, ii) has no impact in individuals with secure attachment representation and iii) is dependent of clinical status in individuals with insecure (but organized) working models of attachment. Overall, these hypotheses were confirmed. However, the impact of clinical status on mentalization in insecure attachment has to be further explored. We summarize that attachment state of mind has a mediating influence on mentalization basically in such situations where the attachment system is activated.

Adaptation of Harvard Trauma Questionnaire for working with refugees and asylum seekers in Serbia

Author(s): Maša Vukčević,Jelena Momirović,Danka Purić / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2016

The number of refugees and asylum seekers in Serbia is significantly increasing. Many have experienced traumatic events and suffer from posttraumatic stress disorder and depression. In order to provide them with adequate assistance, caregivers need adjusted assessment tools. The main goal of this research was the adaptation of the Harvard Trauma Questionnaire for working with refugees and asylum seekers in Serbia. A total of 16 focus groups were interviewed in two phases in order to create an adequate list of traumatic events for this population. The adapted list was subsequently administered to 226 persons seeking asylum in Serbia, along with the remaining parts of HTQ, HSCL-25 and BDI-II. Results show that the adapted list of traumatic events, as well as a shorter version, has good validity and other metric properties. The adaptation of the first assessment tool for working with refugees and asylum seekers in Serbia has significant practical implications.

ADDRESSING SERVICE ACCESS BARRIERS FOR HOMELESS YOUTH: A CALL FOR COLLABORATION

ADDRESSING SERVICE ACCESS BARRIERS FOR HOMELESS YOUTH: A CALL FOR COLLABORATION

Author(s): Jeffrey L. Perron / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2014

Homeless youth are among the most vulnerable individuals in North American society. The day-to-day stressors they face while living on the streets pose a great threat to their mental and physical health. A number of barriers that youth face in accessing care have been identified in the literature. This discussion article highlights work that has been done to apply geographic theory to issues of service access among homeless youth. To date, most such work has been theoretical in nature, with collaborations between geographers and homeless youth researchers to make applied recommendations for the location of services. Urban geographers and homeless youth researchers are implored to collaborate in order to make recommendations that will increase the access to service, particularly for rural homeless youth.

Adolescent Coping Strategies in Social Conflict in Relation to Self-Esteem and Cognitive Appraisal of a Conflict

Adolescent Coping Strategies in Social Conflict in Relation to Self-Esteem and Cognitive Appraisal of a Conflict

Author(s): Danuta Borecka-Biernat / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

The aim of the research was to assess the role of self-esteem and cognitive appraisal of a conflict in generating destructive and constructive strategies of coping used by adolescents in social conflict situations. The following research tools have been used in the research: the Self-Esteem Scale (SES) developed by M. Rosenberg, adapted by M. Łaguna, K. Lachowicz-Tabaczek, and I. Dzwonkowska; the Stress Appraisal Questionnaire (SAQ) (Polish: KOS – Kwestionariusz Oceny Stresu) by D. Włodarczyk and K. Wrześniewski; as well as the Questionnaire for the study of adolescents 'coping strategies employed in social conflict situations (Polish: KSMK – Kwestionariusz strategii radzenia sobie młodzieży w sytuacji konfliktu społecznego) developed by D. Borecka-Biernat. The empirical research was carried out in middle schools (Polish: gimnazjum). The research involved 893 adolescents (468 girls and 425 boys) aged 13–15. Analysis of research results indicates that in the case of adolescents, lower assessment of one’s capacities and the appraisal of conflict in terms of threat or harm/loss, generally coincides with the tendency to react destructively when faced with a conflict. The research has also indicated that an adolescent with higher self-esteem, when involved in a conflict that is not assessed as threatening, implements a constructive strategy to cope with the situation.

Adolescent stealing treated with motivational interviewing and imaginal desensitization – Case report

Author(s): Jon E. Grant,Brian L. Odlaug,Christopher B. Donahue / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2012

Adolescent shoplifting occurs in an estimated 15% of the United States population. Although adolescent stealing is associated with significant psychosocial consequences there is limited research concerning efficacious treatments. Case study: A 17-year-old male with a history of compulsive stealing was treated using a six-session, individualized cognitive-behavioral therapy protocol which included motivational interviewing, psycho-education, behavioral modification, and an exposure script using imaginal desensitization. After the six-session therapy, the patient continued for eight further sessions of therapy to maintain treatment gains. His Yale–Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale scores dropped from a 22 pre-treatment to a 3 at the end of the 14 sessions of therapy and he remained abstinent from stealing. Discussion: This case reports on the successful use of an individualized, cognitive behavioral therapy on an adolescent with compulsive shoplifting and other antisocial behaviors. This treatment provides a promising step towards the treatment of a relatively common adolescent behavior.

Adult sexual dynamics in persons with the history of sexual abuse

Adult sexual dynamics in persons with the history of sexual abuse

Author(s): Tanja Repič Slavič / Language(s): English Issue: 9/2019

Sexuality is most natural and healthy when it is part of an emotionally genuine relationship, not even as its central part but rather as an upgrade of the intimacy of two people who are mutually loyal, committed, loving and respectful. However, if an individual was sexually abused in childhood, they may have suffered the severest consequences of sexual abuse trauma in the area of sexuality, and their experience of sexuality will be completely different from those who were not sexually abused. The article first describes what children learn about sex if they have been sexually abused, as this experience is very much related to the most common behaviours and experiences in adult sexuality. Then we present a theoretical overview of research on sexuality in adults who suffered childhood sexual abuse. The theory will be supplemented and supported by the statements of individuals who have been attending a therapeutic group for the sexually abused in childhood for two years. The statements quoted in the article refer to the period prior to the therapeutic process. Clinical experience shows that, until the victim has resolved the trauma of sexual abuse, the dynamics between the offender and the victim during childhood abuse is most often very similar to the dynamics of the abused with their partner, even in their sexual life.

Adverse cardiovascular effects of inhalatory marijuana use among human subjects

Adverse cardiovascular effects of inhalatory marijuana use among human subjects

Author(s): Florin Mitu,Vasile Chiriță,Livia Andreea LUPȘA / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2017

Marijuana is the most largely used drug worldwide, its users counting more than 200 million people globally. Known since antiquity, cannabis has been used for its psychoactive effects, but also for its analgesic and antiemetic properties. Currently, in the USA it is legal to use it both medically and for recreational purposes, similar tendencies being observed in the European Union as well. The current wave of decriminalisation has the potential of increasing recreational use of cannabis, at least in the short and medium term, therefore both cardiologists and psychiatrists are encouraged to carefully look for adverse cardiovascular outcomes, due to their increasing frequency in the population. This study sought to target the cardiovascular effects of inhaled marijuana among human subjects, this being the main route of administration in the EU and the US. Temporal associations between marijuana use and the onset of important adverse effects have been found, including acute myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, strokes, transient ischemic attacks, cannabinoid arteritis, changes in blood pressure and heart rate. In conclusion, it is important to note that the current legalisation policy dynamics observed globally impose the need for increasing research efforts regarding safety of marijuana administration and particular attention over its potential side effects.

Age and Technology in Digital Inclusion Policy: A Study of Italy and the UK

Age and Technology in Digital Inclusion Policy: A Study of Italy and the UK

Author(s): Simone Carlo,Maria Sourbati / Language(s): English Issue: 26 (2)/2020

The role of media and communication technologies in increasing the quality of life of the elderly is today a key topic in academic and policy debates. This article discusses findings from a study into the way public policy frames the role of technologies in later life. The aim of our study was to critically investigate the policy discourses on ‘old age’ and on the role of digital ICT in fixing challenges associated with ageing. Our focus was on digital inclusion policies of the UK and Italy, two countries experiencing similar trends in population ageing but different ICT diffusion patterns. We found that an age-based understanding of digital technology use was quite common, as was an enthusiastic embracing of the role of digital ICT in the implementation of Active Ageing and Information Society goals. We also found that the understanding of the role of digital technology and its relationship to (old) age has been changing over the last decade, starting to reflect social complexity as ICT diffusion increases among older age groups.

Age-related physical and psychological vulnerability as pathways to problem gambling in older adults

Author(s): Adrian Parke,Mark D. Griffiths,Julie Pattinson,David Keatley / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

To inform clinical treatment and preventative efforts, there is an important need to understand the pathways to late-life gambling disorder. Aims: This study assesses the association between age-related physical health, social networks, and problem gambling in adults aged over 65 years and assesses the mediating role of affective disorders in this association. Methods: The sample comprised 595 older adults (mean age: 74.4 years, range: 65–94 years; 77.1% female) who were interviewed using a structured questionnaire to assess physical frailty, geriatric pain, loneliness, geriatric depression, geriatric anxiety, and problem gambling. Results: Pathway analysis demonstrated associations between these variables and gambling problems, providing a good fit for the data, but that critically these relationships were mediated by both anxiety and depression symptoms. Conclusions: This study indicates that late-life problem gambling may develop as vulnerable individuals gamble to escape anxiety and depression consequent to deteriorating physical well-being and social support. When individuals develop late-life problem gambling, it is recommended that the treatment primarily focuses upon targeting and replacing avoidant coping approaches.

Akıllı telefon bağımlılığı, bağlanma ve duygu düzenlemenin ilişkisi: Mizaç ve karakter özelliklerinin aracı rolü

Author(s): Emine Sevinç Sevi Tok,Halime Şenay Güzel / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 1/2020

This study aimed to evaluate the relationships between smartphone usage, attachment, emotion regulation difficulties, and temperament-character traits. It was also aimed to test a developmental etiological model of smartphone addiction examining the mediating effect of temperament and character dimensions in the relationship between attachment style and emotion regulation difficulties and smartphone addiction in early childhood. The sample of the study consisted of 400 university students from Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University and İzmir Kâtip Çelebi University. Smartphone Addiction Scale, Experiences in Close Relationships-II, Temperament and Character Inventory, and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-Short Form were used as data collection tools. In the results, it was found that anxious attachment; strategy and impulsivity subtests of Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale; self-directedness and self-transcendence subscales of character dimensions significantly predicted the level of smartphone addiction. Finally, the path analysis had a very good fit to the data and suggested that self-directedness acted as a mediating role in the relationship between anxious attachment, strategy, impulsivity, and smartphone addiction. This model has revealed that those who are anxiously attachment, whose emotion regulation strategies are insufficient, and those who are impulsive while regulating their emotions have difficulties in self-directedness and that this plays an important role in increasing the likelihood of smartphone addiction. Therefore, it can be said that these findings will be useful in both theoretical and clinical applications.

Alandaki İzdüşümleriyle Hastanelerde Manevi Danışmanlık Eğitimleri -Amerika ve Türkiye Örneği

Alandaki İzdüşümleriyle Hastanelerde Manevi Danışmanlık Eğitimleri -Amerika ve Türkiye Örneği

Author(s): Hatice Koç Kanca / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 1/2022

Providing spiritual counseling services in hospitals started a century ago in America. Over time, this service first spread to Continental Europe and then to various Islamic countries. The execution of this service in the field, which is relatively new in Turkey, is under the responsibility of the Presidency of Religious Affairs. The prerequisite to be able to offer this service in hospitals in the USA is to complete the Clinical Pastoral Education, which includes 400 hours of practical internship and 8 months of theoretical training in the hospital itself. Although applied and theoretical trainings of the same nature are not obligatory in our country, studies in the field are getting richer day by day. In this context, it is meaningful to examine the nature and structure of these trainings through the example of the United States. However, these trainings, which are offered through a pluralistic paradigm, cannot progress with the same paradigm in the field. Therefore, these have theological and methodological problems for both students who are subject to spiritual counseling training with their Muslim identity as well as Muslim patients who receive this service. This study aims to raise awareness about these problems while drawing attention to the search for models of possible training plans to be revealed in the future regarding the services in the field. Also, it is aimed to compare the current pastoral counseling services in Turkey with the education and training opportunities at the hospitals in the United States in terms of paradigm and practice.

Alexithymia Levels and Facial Emotion Recognition Skills in Psoriasis Patients

Alexithymia Levels and Facial Emotion Recognition Skills in Psoriasis Patients

Author(s): Onur Yılmaz,Didem Dizman,Tezer Kılıçarslan,Özgür Bölükbaşı,Nahide Onsun / Language(s): English Issue: Suppl. 1/2019

The purpose of this study was to examine alexithymia levels and abilities to recognize facial emotions among psoriasis patients and compare with healthy controls. Sixty psoriasis patients diagnosed in dermatology clinics, and 65 age, sex and educationally matched healthy controls were assessed for this randomized controlled trial. Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) was applied to patients in dermatology clinics, Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis-1 Disorders, 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), Facial Emotion Recognition Test (FERT) were applied to patients and controls in psychiatry clinics. Patients’ mean TAS-20 total scores were higher, while their ability to recognize negative facial emotions were lower than the control group Patients might have underestimated especially negative emotions over time, for a possible defense mechanism against depression and anxiety. Alexithymia levels were significantly related with psoriasis disease severity. Thus, alexithymia might be a predictor for severity of psoriasis.

Alkol/Madde Kullanım Bozukluklarında Şiddet ve İntiharın Nörobiyolojik Temelleri

Alkol/Madde Kullanım Bozukluklarında Şiddet ve İntiharın Nörobiyolojik Temelleri

Author(s): Bahadır Geniş,Ferit Şahin,Nermin Gürhan / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 2/2022

Both the risk of suicidal and violent behaviours increases in alcohol and substance use disorders. Besides, it’s proposed that alcohol and substance use disorders significantly contribute to the increasing prevalence of suicide and violence worldwide. For these reasons, it is thought that the spiral of problems consisting of the concepts of suicide, violence, and addiction awaits a solution on a global scale. The discovery of the underlying neurobiological mechanisms is required to deal with these problems. Previous research has revealed the importance of neurobiological mechanisms in understanding suicidal, violent, and addictive behaviours. Especially recent studies have shown some evidence that these three conditions have some related genetic, epigenetic, and neurobiological bases. Therefore, besides the current neurobiological research on alcohol and substance use disorders, scientific literature related to suicidal and violent behaviours will be presented in this review altogether.

ALLOSTATIC NEUROPLASTICITY AND EPIGENETIC 
MECHANISMS IN PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT

ALLOSTATIC NEUROPLASTICITY AND EPIGENETIC MECHANISMS IN PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT

Author(s): Oprea Valentin Bușu,Elena Cristina Andrei,Mihai-Narcis POPESCU / Language(s): English Issue: -/2020

Genetics is part of the life of every individual having a great influence not only in terms of the transmission of physical characteristics, but also in terms of the development of the human being. Genetics makes its mark on the character and lifestyle and relationship of an individual with the social environment. Epigenetics is a relatively new field of genetics that aims to elucidate the causes of the presence or absence of a pathology caused by the activation of genes. Epigenetics does not end its activity in intrauterine life, but is in a permanent dynamic. This dynamic is influenced by the individual’s lifestyle and environmental factors. Thus, by adopting sanogenic practices to maintain good systemic and mental health, as well as ensuring an environment free from pollution, an optimal state of health of the human body can be obtained. An individual’s adequate state of health encompasses three major factors: physical, mental, and social health. Alteration of one factor leads to the cancellation of the other two. Therefore, in order to maintain a balance, a good functionality of the bio-psycho-social complex is necessary. The novelty element brought by epigenetics compared to classical genetics is represented by the way in which certain factors act on human DNA and produce changes throughout life.

Amending the revisionist model of the Capgras delusion. A further argument for the role of patient experience in delusional belief formation

Amending the revisionist model of the Capgras delusion. A further argument for the role of patient experience in delusional belief formation

Author(s): Garry Young / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2014

Recent papers on the Capgras delusion have focused on the role played by subpersonal abductive inference in the formation and maintenance of the delusional belief. In these accounts, the delusional belief is posited as the first delusion-related event of which the patient is conscious. As a consequence, an explanatory role for anomalous patient experience is denied. The aim of this paper is to challenge this revisionist position and to integrate subpersonal inference within a model of the Capgras delusion which includes a role for experiential content. I argue that the following revisionist claims are problematic: (a) that a fully-formed belief enters consciousness, and (b) that this is the first conscious delusion-related event. Instead, it is my contention that a delusional thought (arrived at through subpersonal abductive inference) and an anomalous experience co-occur in consciousness prior to the formation of the delusional belief. The co-occurrence of thought and anomalous experience overcomes problems with the revisionist position resulting in an account of the Capgras delusion with greater explanatory efficacy.
