Abstract:

There is a consistent research base that shows that class and inequality is associated with poorer mental health and experiences of distress. Various explanations for this link have been proposed, including psychological, social, structural, material and political factors. Experiences of powerlessness and oppression have also been implicated. Nevertheless psychology focuses predominately on explanations and interventions at the individual level. To explore this incongruence, a Foucauldian Discourse Analysis was completed of texts produced by Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT),

Abstract:

This study examines stress and distress experienced by working age individuals in the urban environment. The goals of this research are twofold: (1) to test for a social gradient in stress and distress; and (2) to test for environmental effects on the reporting of stress and distress, specifically focussing on variations in stress and distress across neighbourhoods in Montreal. Montreal was selected as the focus of this study because it is a large metropolitan region with some of the highest income disparities in Canada.

Abstract:

Our attachment style, how it is developed, and the impact it has on individuals have been important topics of interest for generations. While previous studies have found insecure attachments and emotional distress are positively related, this study attempts to find the correlations looking at attachment styles on their own. This study introduces the investigation of specific attachment levels on certain aspects of emotional distress (generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and depression). Overall, this study aims to identify if attachment style serves as a predictor of emotiona

Asthma and allergies are some of the most common illnesses worldwide that almost everybody will come in contact with.

Limb reconstruction is an orthopaedic surgical technique designed to treat severe fractures, including fractures that have failed to heal using conventional methods, and congenital deformities. The existing research suggests high levels of distress among patients, and that the appearance of the external fixation device is a possible factor contributing to distress, but the psychological contribution to this research is scarce. The overall aim of this mixed methods study was to gain a better understanding of the experience of limb reconstruction patients. In particular, the quantitative study a

Abstract:

In this thesis I examine the relationship between corporate sustainability information networks (SIN) and financial distress. I propose that firms that are more central in the SIN have better access to key sustainability information which in turn results in lower financial distress. Using 5,521 in-network firms and their propensity scored matching (PSM) firms over the five-year period 2015-2019, I find strong support for my hypothesis. The findings suggest that SINs provide an important role in reducing financial distress.

This research examines perceived physical health, psychological distress and social support among prison officers.

Cancer affects nearly 15 million Americans, and is the second leading cause of death in the U.S. Persons with cancer, including those in recovery, are at increased risk for mental health difficulties; 15% - 25% experience clinically significant depressive symptoms and approximately 12% meet criteria for an anxiety disorder. Poor mental health may be due to heightened levels of stress related to the illness experience, such as uncertainty about the course of disease or adapting to functional impairments (e.g., cleaning, walking) and illness symptoms (e.g., pain).

There is longstanding causal relationship between cigarette smoking and lung cancer. Smoke-free policies and anti-smoking campaigns have been linked to the decline in smoking acceptance and contribute to the unintended consequence of stigmatizing smokers. Lung cancer is viewed as a self-inflicted disease and patients’ feel judged in a manner different from other cancers affecting social interactions between family, friends, and healthcare professionals.
