Duggan, Danielle Sherree. "Psychological Mechanism Underlying Suicidal behaviour." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2008. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.489433.

Abstract:

The Intention of this thesis was to help elucidate psychological mechanisms underlying suicidal behaviour. Chapter one Introduces risk factors and current treatments for suicidal behaviour before going on to investigate whether a cognitive model of suicidal behaviour, 'the cry of pain', could add to our understanding of discrepant treatment findings, and provide new opportunities for understanding proximal risk factors for suicidal behaviour (in combination with the differential activation hypothesis).

Abstract:

Nightmares, a common sleep disturbance which provoke fearful awakening, have been found to be a significant predictor of suicidal thoughts and behaviours. The research presented in this thesis aims to firstly examine if nightmares are predictive of self-harm regardless of suicidal intent or motivation, and secondly to explore the psychological mechanism linking the occurrence of nightmares to self-harm. Chapter 2, an online survey, revealed that nightmares were a significant predictor of self-harm regardless of suicidal intent or motivation and that this relationship remained when controlling

Abstract:

There is abundant evidence of anxiety-linked threat-biased attention and anxiety-linked threat-biased interpretation (cf. Mathews & MacLeod, 1994, 2005). The present research aimed to determine whether these cognitive biases reflect a single common underlying mechanism (the Common Mechanism Account) or multiple independent underlying mechanisms (the Independent Mechanisms Account). To address this question, a battery of eight experimental tasks was developed; four tasks measured attention bias and four measured interpretation bias. Participants with different levels of trait anxiety, completed

Abstract:

Despite many efforts to promote the importance of considering consumer experience, few studies have provided empirical evidence of their impact on immediate consumption outcomes and on their relationship with existing product/service design attributes, while considering the subjective nature of consumer experiences. In the present dissertation, we propose that important insights could be gained in building such evidence by considering research on emotions and rigorous empirical approaches that account for the subjectivity of the experience. Specifically, we propose a framework that builds on t

Abstract:

This thesis deals with psychological issues concerning patients with malignant gliomas, and their spouses. There is no known medical cure, and the patients have a limited survival expectancy. Therefore studies evaluating new treatment modes, an overall supportive atmosphere, and attempts to avoid imposing unnessesary strain are necessary. Thirty consecutive patients with astrocytomas, grade III-IV, were included in a clinical trial with estramustine phosphate in addition to conventional treatment with surgery and radiotherapy. Both the patients and their spouses participated in the present stu

Abstract:

There are very few works not associated with the Western canon to have received as much attention as Chinua Achebe’s novel Things Fall Apart (Ogbaa 1). However, contrary to the many post-colonial interpretations of this novel, this essay employs a psychoanalytical literary approach to discuss the cause of the protagonist’s eventual demise, based on the premise that human behaviour is driven by an unconscious process. Consequently, this essay argues that following the ego’s inability to repress the infantile demands of the unconscious, the preconscious and the conscious self, ever more compulsi

Abstract:

High temporal resolution of vision relies on the rapid kinetics of the photoresponse in the light-sensing photoreceptor neurons. It is well known that the rapid recovery of photoreceptor membrane potential at the end of light stimulation depends on timely deactivation of the visual transduction cascade within photoreceptors. Whether any extrinsic factor contributes to the termination speed of the photoresponse is unknown. In this thesis, using Drosophilaas a model system, I show that a feedback circuit mediated by both neurons and glia in the visual neuropile lamina is required for rapid repol

Early childhood curriculum is limited when early multiliteracies are insufficiently understood. The purpose of this doctorate is to investigate and document children’s early multiliteracies. Children actively learn multiliteracies, including critical dialogue, through their relationships and interactions within family and community. My goal is to influence early childhood policy-makers and educators to reconceptualise early multiliteracies through examining family practices, children’s agency and critical dialogue, subsequently strengthening pedagogical practice. This reconceptualisation is cr

<p> Leader humility has been linked to a number of positive outcomes such as greater employee satisfaction, lower turnover intention, enhanced group creativity, and improved team performance. However, the study of humility is still in its relative infancy.

Abstract:

This thesis set out to explore oral sensory processing. Oral sensory processing extends beyond taste perception, the nerves that innervate the mouth and carry taste information to the brain also carry chemosensations, thermal sensations and somatosensations. While a great deal is understood about oral chemo and thermal perception, this thesis focuses on the not fully recognised oral somatosensory processes. A substantial amount of movement occurs within the mouth, from movement while speaking to chewing food. As food moves around the mouth, different oral receptors are activated and the consum

Abstract:

Recent research has highlighted that the 'yips' in sport represents a continuum on which choking (anxiety related) and dystonia symptoms anchor the extremes (Smith et al., 2000). Previous research investigating the phenomenon has focussed on the 'yips' being a dystonia and has not considered the psychological experience of the problem in detail (McDaniel, Cummings & Shain, 1989; Sachdev, 1992). The primary aim of this thesis was to see if psychological mechanisms underpin the 'yips' experience and if so relate these to the choking model (Baumeister, 1984).

A female advantage is observed in the accurate recognition of mental and emotional states from the face (Hall, 1978, 1984).

The present thesis discusses the potential mechanisms underlying the female advantage by considering the Extreme Male Brain (EMB) hypothesis of autism (Baron-Cohen, 2002). Several possible directions for research are presented, including sex differences in i) automaticity of processing facial expressions; ii) attention to the eyes; iii) configural versus fe

Currently, Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is one of the most prevalent psychiatric disorders and a leading cause of non-lethal disability worldwide. However, despite exposure to known risk factors for MDD, human responses to it vary widely. Whilst some individuals develop MDD, others develop only mild and transient symptoms or no depressive symptomology at all.

Antisocial behavior, both criminal and noncriminal, is a prominent yet poorly understood public health concern. Research on antisocial behavior typically focuses on either individual or environmental risk factors, rarely integrating risks across levels of analysis. Although low objective SES is clearly associated with antisocial behavior, the reasons why are unclear. Sociological theories suggest this relationship is due to neighborhood and environmental characteristics that create social disorganization and reduce informal social controls in the community.
