Abstract:

Both Volumes I and II of this thesis were submitted in partial fulfillment of the Clinical Psychology Doctorate at the University of Birmingham. Volume I is the research component and comprises of a literature review and an empirical study. Volume II is the clinical component and comprises of five clinical practice reports. Volume I: Research Component Definitions of resilience remain unclear, and there has been minimal research in the area of resilience to psychotic symptoms, such as paranoia. A selective literature review and research study were conducted to address these issues. The review

<p>Families raising autistic children grapple with stressors created by the child's often-unpredictable course of development that affects resilient family function. To that end, this study used a quantitative, non-experimental study design with 103 married parents (103 fathers, 103 mothers) raising autistic children to identify relationships between stress, father's resilience, mother's resilience, and family resilience employing the Baron and Kenny mediation regression technique. Consistent with family resilience theory, the study results demonstrated that families raising autistic children

Abstract:

Human activities and climate change are causing irreversible changes in almost all marine environments. In these changing environments, it is the resilience of organisms that may decide whether they succeed or fail. Marine bivalves are habitat forming organisms, the species they support are intrinsically linked to their distribution. This thesis sought to determine whether habitat forming bivalves will be resilient to stressors at a magnitude predicted for the next 100 years. To answer this overarching question, experiments were done to test hypotheses on how stressors will interact to affect

Christianson<br>Stress is a risk factor for neuropsychiatric disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder and depression, yet not all individuals who are exposed to stress develop such disorders. Several factors influence susceptibility versus resilience to the effects of stress, including coping strategy biological sex.

Abstract:

Resilience refers to the fact that some individuals cope well with stressful experiences. Many factors contribute to this sort of resilience, such as the early environment, the serotonin transporter gene (5-HTTPLR), the hypothalamic-pituitaryadrenal (HPA) axis, the sympathetic-adrenal medullary (SAM) axis, and emotion regulation techniques. The aim of this thesis is to investigate which factors contribute to resilience, with a particular focus on the emotion regulation technique of cognitive reappraisal. The results show that the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and amygdala each play a crucial role wh

Abstract:

Current military operational environments are highly improvised and constantly evolving, threatening the lives of U.S. warfighters. For instance, since 2001, 60% of all hostile casualties and 65% of hostile injuries in the Middle East theater have been attributed to improvised explosive devices (IEDs). IEDs are powerful physical weapons, and the stressful atmosphere they, and other operational challenges create, can also result in a range of psychological dysfunctions, including anxiety, depression, alcohol abuse, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Abstract:

In rodent models of human behaviour, physical activity builds stress resilience. In contrast, human studies physical activity and stress resilience have been limited, and when investigated, provided mixed results. These inconsistencies may be due to the ambiguous use of the term stress resilience in human studies, making it difficult to quantify. Therefore, I aimed to assess the effect of physical activity on stress resilience in humans, after first evaluating operational definitions of stress resilience. Initially, I evaluated the use of stress resilience across the literature to provide a de

Abstract:

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a chronic disabling condition that results from exposure to traumatic stress. However, although trauma is fairly common, PTSD will only occur in a small proportion of people. This suggests that resilience is a common response to trauma. The neurobiology underlying this adaptive response is thought to involve reward related areas as well as reward functions. This dissertation proposes that reward and reward-related areas have a role in anxiety disorders such as PTSD. This hypothesis was explored using an animal model of PTSD as well as a human mode of p

Even under the best management strategies contemporary crops face yield losses from diverse threats such as, pathogens, pests, and environmental stress. Adding to this management challenge is that under current global climate projections these impacts are predicted to become even greater. Natural genetic variation, long used by traditional plant breeders, holds great promise for adapting high performing agronomic lines to these stressors. Yet, efforts to bolster crop plant resilience using wild relatives have been hindered by time consuming efforts to develop genomic tools and/or identify the

Thus the protective factors or predictors of resilience that ameliorate the negative effects of risk in this subgroup are important to explore.

Abstract:

Occupational stress is known for its negative outcomes on employee wellbeing, particularly various mental health disorders including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Furthermore, the costs of occupational stress are increasing, with recent estimates to be approximately US$187 billion across the developed world, mainly due to productivity loss, healthcare, and medical costs. Despite this trend, research has found that not all stress is harmful; in fact, some stress leads to beneficial outcomes, including positive affect and work engagement. While the challenge-hindrance

Abstract:

Resilience is a dynamic process that reflect individual ability to successfully recover and positively adapt to severe circumstances. In this essay, attachment, social support, self- regulation and affective processing, taken from the "shortlist of resilience" provided by Masten, are further analyzed and connected to findings within neuroscience. The result suggest that brain areas originated from the prefrontal cortex, such as orbitofrontal and dorsolateral cortex, are two major neural correlates to attachment and stress- and self- regulation. The amygdala is also an area of interest, because

Abstract:

Little research to date has focused on personal accounts of psychological aspects of the aging process of elders and their relationship with adult-children in an urban Chinese setting. The present study aimed to explore such aspects in Chinese elders. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 3 varied samples of elders (aged 70 to 87), with those living with their family (study 1), those in a residential setting (study 2) and those in a sheltered community (study 3).
