Abstract:

The present study investigated the interpersonal schemata of self-criticism and interpersonal dependency as cognitive vulnerability factors to depression. The study's primary hypothesis was that dependency and self-criticism schemata remain stable at remission and that they are independent of mood. Stability in these two factors was related both to their self-report at remission and to their endurance as components influencing the information processing of patients during remission. Twenty clinically depressed individuals, 20 remitted depressives, and 20 normal controls were compared on memory

Abstract:

Psychology<br>Ph.D.<br>Although existing research has evaluated various cognitive, behavioral, physiological, and environmental risk factors for depression (Johnson, Cuellar, & Miller, 2009), previous studies have typically focused on the content of cognitive styles and coping styles when evaluating vulnerability to depression (e.g., Alloy et al., 2006; Compas et al., 2009). However, recent research has suggested that the ability to flexibly engage in different thoughts, strategies, and behaviors that fit situational demands may be most indicative of psychological health (Bonanno & Burton, 201

Abstract:

Suicide affects hundreds of thousands of people around the world each year. Despite many coordinated efforts to address this problem, in multiple domains, these numbers have risen over the last decade. The Interpersonal Theory of Suicide is a relatively recent theory that has received considerable attention and investigation. Perceived burdensomeness is one of the constructs from this theory. The belief that you are a burden on others is a robust predictor of suicidal ideation and, to a less understood extent, suicidal behavior. To my knowledge, few studies have looked at the factors that lead

Abstract:

<p> This study was conducted to explicate and measure the concept of vulnerability from an interpersonal communication perspective. Frequent but varied use of the term “vulnerability” within communication studies and other related disciplines (e.g., sociology, psychology) has resulted in conceptual, and consequently, operational confusion. To ameliorate these concerns, this study presents the notion of <i>vulnerability in interpersonal moments </i> as a means of differentiating the emotional state of vulnerability experienced in real or anticipated interpersonal interactions from e

Abstract:

The primary purpose of this study was to explore the relationships among vulnerability, self-transcendence, and well-being in Japanese hospitalized elders. With their declining functional health and diminishing social network, elderly people are considered as a vulnerable population, which require special care and attention in the field of nursing. Self-Transcendence is identified as one of the developmental resources that promote well-being in later adulthood during increased vulnerability; however, applicability of the concept of self-transcendence as well as its theory has never been tested

Abstract:

The problem that this dissertation engages with is how the self achieves moral status or worth. I aim to show that recognition, beginning with Hegel’s dialectical treatment of recognition, is necessary to the modern conception of the value status of the individual, and therefore that the latter must be understood, first, as the value status of the self. That is to say, there is no normative standing of the individual without the self experiencing itself as a being of intrinsic worth. Second, this experience is fully dependent upon others’ acknowledgment of our intrinsic worth. In sum, recognit

Abstract:

For many, the course of major depressive disorder (MDD) is recurrent, with periods of remission between major depressive episodes (MDEs); those in remission are known to be at elevated risk of future MDEs. A common and distressing symptom of MDD is overgeneralised self-blame, and this also persists into remission. In order to study the involvement of self-blame in vulnerability to MDD, a large cohort of participants was recruited: a group with remitted MDD (rMDD) and a matched healthy control (HC) group with no personal or family history of MDD.

Abstract:

The concept of vulnerability to depression has been incorporated into most current models of depression. While differing terminology is used, essentially there is agreement that two specific traits act as vulnerability factors: Dependency and Self-criticism. As vulnerability factors, they are seen to be stable characteristics that are present regardless of mood-state. The research so far has provided conflicting evidence for this stability. In addition, there is some evidence that suggests a gender difference in the experience of these vulnerabilities. This study aimed to further investigate t

Menopause is a natural occurrence that all women experience during the midlife. Recent investigations indicate that although there may be some women who develop depression during the menopausal transition (MT), a much more prevalent concern is an increase in irritable mood. Evidence stemming from research unrelated to menopause indicates that irritability and depression are distinct mood conditions. Furthermore, various researchers have proposed that irritable mood is a prodrome of full-blown depression, especially if other vulnerability factors are involved. The overarching objective of this

Abstract:

People with high norm-based rejection sensitivity have heightened anticipatory anxiety and expectation of rejection if they do not follow norms. Under threats of rejection (e.g., when personal preferences collide with group norms), they are more intended to conform to group norms to avoid social rejection (Poon et al., 2010). Thus, they are more susceptible to peer pressure for risk-taking behaviors and have less autonomy to make decision. Research also indicates that they derive their self-worth from external sources such as success in academic and work settings (Yip et al., 2009). Thus, they

The phenomenon of unprofessional conduct can have significant and sometimes dire outcomes for patients and nurses and provides challenges to understand antecedents to its occurrence and the impact on the nurse.

This thesis fills a gap in the political philosophy of liberalism by elaborating the conceptions of the human subject implicit in a central ideal of liberalism. The essence of that ideal is that fortuitous facts about an individual – one’s race, gender, religion, nationality, sexual orientation – ought not to determine one’s life chances. This ideal, I maintain, presupposes a philosophical anthropology. Tacit but essential in this presupposition is that contingency and vulnerability are ineliminable features of the human condition.

In this encounter, consciousness discovers that the Other can be a source of recognition (Anerkennung).

Abstract:

This research takes a social constructivist approach to investigate the relationship between people’s perceptions of disaster risk and their responses in disaster-prone cities of the Global South. This is important because the effects of risk perceptions on the ways that people respond to disaster risk remains unclear and has been labelled ‘weak’ within the disaster studies literature. Furthermore, this lack of clarity has contributed to the marginalisation of people at risk from contributing to interventions that address disaster risk, which this research finds problematic. Therefore, a bette

Dissertação de Mestrado em Psicologia Clínica, apresentada ao ISPA - Instituto Universitário<br>O conceito narcisismo é um conceito de difícil delimitação devido à diversidade de significados a ele associados. A forma de compreender esta patologia não é unânime, alguns teóricos centram-se numa análise dos comportamentos e atitudes de grandiosidade e nas defesas maníacas do self e outros na vulnerabilidade do self e na sua profunda falha narcísica. Partindo deste pressuposto considerou-se importante realizar uma investigação em que ambos os polos fossem considerados. O narcisismo patológico

Abstract:

This study explores how self-imposed limitations affect anxieties about art-making and the art-making process. As a teacher, I was interested in how limitations affected student art-making. I used arts-based research methodology to explore spiritual and personal quandaries in my own life through the process of art-making. A consistent thread throughout this investigation was using the process of making art as a way to gain understanding about my own life and teaching. I was also able to create a culture of vulnerability and honesty in my classroom and help my students embrace themselves and th

Abstract:

A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo verificar em que medida fatores como a estigmatização, a discriminação, o determinismo social, a situação de vulnerabilidade psicossocial, a fé, a imagem de Deus e o relacionamento com Deus influenciam na representação social dos jovens batistas da Igreja Batista Central de Paripe. Sujeitos a situações de exclusão social presentes no discurso, mais especificamente, buscou-se compreender a relação que os jovens mantêm com as normas da Igreja e a fé em Deus, além de identificar a associação entre essas estruturas e a auto-estima dos jovens em questão.<br>Th

Abstract:

Syftet med denna studie var att genom intervjuer med 6 personer, som levt på ekonomiskt bistånd i mer än 10 månader, skildra deras upplevelse av sin livssituation och möjligheter att påverka den. Genom semi-strukturerade intervjuer samlades material in, material som analyserades med utgångspunkt i en induktiv tematisk metod. I analysen träder fyra huvudteman fram som beskriver upplevelsen av att vara långvarigt beroende av ekonomiskt bistånd: skam, förändring, bristande kontroll och låg framtidstro. Teman som i en sammantagen förståelse leder till kärnkategorin som är ett: förstärkt beroende -
