Fry, Gary. "Understanding social anxiety : an existential phenomenological investigation." Thesis, University of Huddersfield, 2005. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.418621.

Abstract:

This project draws upon existential phenomenology as a new way of understanding the experience of social anxiety. It is claimed that by aiming for an explanation, existing psychological approaches (trait theory, biological research, behaviourism, cognitive and socially oriented perspectives, personal construct psychology) neglect the situated meaning of events as they are `lived' by individuals. It is argued that a phenomenological approach is needed in order to produce an understanding of the phenomenon - that is, a non-reductive, non-mechanistic model (Merleau-Ponty, 1962). The process of da

Abstract:

This thesis explores affinities between the thinking of Søren Kierkegaard and the writers of five of the individual lament psalms. Those affinities between Kierkegaard and the writers of the psalms have two aspects: the subject and the approach to that subject. The main subject that both Kierkegaard and the writer of these psalms deal with is the issue of existential anxiety. This is angst which is rooted not in our upbringing but in our existence. Then there is an affinity between the approach of Kierkegaard and that of the writers of these psalms to the afore-mentioned anxiety. This thesis f

Abstract:

David Foster Wallace’s essay ‘E unibus pluram: Television and U.S Fiction’ (1993) describes ironic self-consciousness as the default tone of American cultural expression in the early nineties. For Wallace, this self-conscious mode of address incorporates a paralysing problem in regard to conveying meaning in texts—irony has become an end in itself. The pervasiveness of irony and cynicism in films of the 1980s and early 1990s led to concerns that sincere expression would be taken as naïve or lacking sophistication. I argue that the cinematic mode I am investigating, American Eccentricity, negot

Face à l’adversité, les individus semblent se diriger vers la spiritualité et l’utiliser comme une ressource personnelle pour s’ajuster aux événements de vie difficiles.

Abstract:

Terror management theory research suggests that self-esteem acts as an anxiety buffer and high self-esteem can reduce implicit death thoughts and worldview defense. Self-compassion, it is argued, enhances wellbeing by making people feel safe and secure, while self-esteem makes people feel superior and sometimes unrealistically self-confident. Through a series of studies, this dissertation investigated buffering of death anxiety by self-compassion. Studies 1 and 2 investigated the role of trait (Study 1) and induced (Study 2) self-compassion in buffering existential anxiety by reducing implicit

The present studies explore the role of death anxiety across various mental health disorders. At the onset, death anxiety had been shown to have a causal role in only one subtype of OCD. Study 1 examined common developmental pathways to OCD, finding that death anxiety significantly predicted the course of this disorder. Study 2 found that death anxiety significantly correlated with all six subtypes of OCD. Study 3 extended the research focus beyond OCD, to explore whether death anxiety predicts psychopathology across a range of different diagnostic categories. Using a clinical sample, the resu

Abstract:

The aim of this s tudy is to investigate the three great existential questions—anxiety, love and death—in the works of Stig Dagerman. Emphasis is placed on the novels Ormen [The Snake] (1945), De dömdas ö [The Island of the Doomed ] (1946), Bränt barn [A Burnt Child] (1948), and Bröllopsbesvär [Wedding Worries] (1949), as well as the play Den dödsdömde [The Condemned] (1948). To this end, interpretation is used in the sense given to it by Paul Ricoeur—interpretation that leads to an understanding of a double meaning.

As the U.S. population ages the number of family caregivers is expected to rise. Family caregivers are a valuable source of informal healthcare services for patients and the public, in terms of reducing healthcare costs. However, research suggests family caregiving is not only financially costly for individuals, but associated with a number of medical and mental health risks, with spouses at higher risk for negative outcomes compared to other family members. Traditional evidence-based therapies for stress in family caregivers have been shown to be minimally efficacious with spouses. No therapi

Abstract:

Whilst Simone de Beauvoir has become an icon of feminism, and The Second Sex in particular been recognized as a point of reference for writers and philosophers worldwide, her reputation in Italy was not established immediately, and there she remains a controversial figure. This study focuses on one aspect of her influence in Italy: the relationship between her writing and that of the Italian best-selling author, Alba de Céspedes. It is the first in-depth analysis of the complex pattern of influence evident in the relationship between what the two authors have described as their most important

Abstract:

During the 20th century, our planet and its population have faced a number of environmental challenges. The climate on earth is changing and it is most likely due to human activity and the destruction of the earth's resources, ecosystems and waterways. More recently a very active environmental movement is taking up more space in people's lives. In many ways, it can be considered that climate change, and the movement that accompanied it, created a generation of people who proclaim a doom as a result of human destruction of the planet.

Taking a non-dual, non-reductive embodied approach, the phenomenological data was analysed semiotically, using a graph-theoretical cluster analysis to elucidate the large number of resulting categories, and interpreted through the enactive approach to cognitive science.

Pyszczynski, Solomon and Greenberg's 'Terror Management Theory' presents itself as an empirically grounded psychological framework that satisfactorily explains existentially anxiety. More than this, Terror Management theory claims to account for all cultural constructs, all meaning oriented behaviour, and all related affect, as deriving from existential anxiety. According to TM, a human being's desire for meaning essentially reduces to existential anxiety. This is to say, all human beings are fundamentally anxious about their mortality, and meaning, all manner of meaning, is our means of quell

Abstract:

This dissertation is driven by a gynocritical desire to lift the fiction of Marilyn Duckworth, a notable twentieth-century New Zealand writer, out of its unduly neglected position as an object of literary study. Most of Duckworth’s heroines usually feel out of place in the external world, grapple with identity issues or become ensnared in destructive interpersonal liaisons. This dissertation enquires about the fundamental source and nature of their predicament. The theoretical viewpoint adopted for this enterprise is derived from the thought of Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Simone de

Globalization in the sports world is a phenomenon that has received considerable attention in the sport studies literature (Maguire, 1994, 2004). A significant aspect of globalization is labor migration in professional sports, which has been investigated extensively in recent years (e.g., Magee & Sugden, 2002; Takahashi & Horne, 2006). Basketball is one sport that has been discussed in this context (Falcous & Maguire, 2005).

The main topic of this thesis is the subjective experience of anxiety. The author has attempted to secede from the strictly psychological level, therefore there are authors dealing with the overlap of human existence included. As a result, the thesis is also a partly philosophical view of anxiety. However, given the focus of the author, the greater part of the work is based on the psychological view. In the practical part, the hypothesis that the consciousness of the meaning of life has a certain influence on the experience of anxiety was confirmed. However, this effect is not as large and as

Like death, the defining human reality underlying our relationships and views of life's meaning, the experiences and activities of undertakers, remains an uncommon subject for psychological research. Existential anxiety roots a society-wide denial of the fundamental nature of death. which necessitates the development of institutions to take responsibility for the dying and dead. As the image and service of the stigmatised funeral industry improves, society's experience of death should become more meaningful. The overview of the research into these topics noted the need for further studi
