Measuring intermediate outcomes of violence prevention programs targeting African-American male youth: an exploratory assessment of the psychometric properties of six psychosocial measures. (1/248)
This study examined the psychometric properties of six psychosocial measures that may be useful indicators of intermediate outcomes of violence prevention programs targeting African-American male youth. Baseline and 6 month follow-up survey data are used from 223 African-American male 12-16 year olds participating in a violence prevention program evaluation study. The constructs of interest are beliefs supporting aggression, aggressive conflict-resolution style, hostility, ethnic identity, self-esteem and hopelessness. Each construct is measured as a multi-item scale. Exploratory factor analysis results provided limited support for the unidimensionality of these scales, thus suggesting that further scale development is warranted. Reliability coefficients for the scales ranged from 0.55 to 0.80. Bivariate analyses with baseline data indicate that all six measures have construct and criterion-related validity, as they are associated with each other and with four behavioral criteria in the expected directions. Predictive validity was also demonstrated for beliefs supporting aggression, aggressive conflict-resolution style, hostility and hopelessness which were associated with weapon-carrying behaviors measured in the 6 month follow-up survey both before and after controlling for corresponding behaviors measured in the baseline survey.

This study investigated the association between psychosocial stress and outcome of in-vitro fertilization and gamete intra-Fallopian transfer treatment. Ninety women, enrolled for treatment at a private infertility clinic, completed two self-administered psychometric tests (Bi-polar Profile of Mood States, POMS; and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, STAI) and a questionnaire to ascertain demographic and lifestyle characteristics before the start of treatment. Approximately 12 months later an outcome measure was determined for each participant in terms of whether she was pregnant or not pregnant and the number of treatment cycles undertaken to achieve clinical pregnancy. The women's scores on the psychological tests were similar to published normative scores. On univariate analysis, history of a previous pregnancy was positively related to the probability of pregnancy and full-time employment, a more 'hostile' mood state and higher trait anxiety were associated with a lower cumulative pregnancy rate. A Cox multiple regression model found previous pregnancy history, trait anxiety, and the POMS agreeable-hostile and elated-depressed scales to be the most important lifestyle and stress variables predictive of pregnancy. The results emphasize the importance of psychosocial stress in treatment outcome but indicate that the relationships are complex. Further studies are required to validate whether these findings can be generalized to other populations. (+info)Importance of the psychosocial environment in epidemiologic studies. (3/248)
It has been common for the starting point of occupational health studies to be the disease risks associated with particular occupations. The research effort then focuses on features of the work environment that might be exposures for the particular disease. The starting point of this paper has been different; it is the inverse social gradient in morbidity and mortality observed in all industrialized (and nonindustrialized) countries. In Great Britain, it has been usual for the socioeconomic classification to be based on occupation. This usage raises the question of how much of the social gradient in disease is related to the circumstances under which people work, and how much to living circumstances, acting through the life course. This paper illustrates how attention to psychosocial factors in the workplace and outside have the potential to reduce the burden of ill health for working people and to diminish the social gradient in morbidity and mortality. (+info)Tryptophan enhancement/depletion and reactions to failure on a cooperative computer game. (4/248)
Twenty-eight high trait hostility male volunteers played a "cooperative" computer game 4.5 hours after an amino acid drink enhanced with, or depleted of, tryptophan. Each trial involved steering a tank through minefields following directions from an unknown "partner." Failure was experienced when the tank hit a mine or when time ran out. Subjects' moods, verbal aggression, attributions of blame, vocal acoustics, and blood pressure were assessed. Differences between tryptophan groups were not significant for primary measures of anger and verbal aggression. However, depleted subjects reported greater increases in feelings of restlessness and incompetence, were less successful in avoiding mines and showed greater increases in blood pressure during the game. Subjects in both groups sent more negative ratings when they lost the game by virtue of hitting a mine rather than losing by running out of time. However, ratings of the depleted group were less influenced by the reason for losing the game. Also, vocal acoustics showed a group X reason-for-losing interaction in the high-frequency band. Tryptophan-depleted subjects with high scores on Behavioral-Activation-System-Drive were most likely to send negative ratings and those scoring high on Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory Assault and Guilt to report increased anger after the game. (+info)Medical and lay views of irritable bowel syndrome. (5/248)
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to investigate doctors' and patients' views of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in order to assess why problems in the doctor-IBS patient relationship seem to occur. METHODS: A qualitative study was undertaken involving in-depth, semi-structured interviews that were tape-recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed using the constant comparative method. The subjects comprised 12 doctors, including six GPs and six gastroenterologists, and 14 patients with IBS. RESULTS: Doctors hold two definitions of IBS, one 'public' and akin to a textbook definition, the other 'private' and including experiential knowledge and absorbed prejudices about IBS patients. Doctors are not universally hostile towards IBS patients, although the views of gastroenterologists may tend to be more pejorative than those of GPs. Most doctors experience frustration with IBS, and this is due as much to medical uncertainty and shortage of effective interventions as to intolerance of the personal characteristics of IBS patients. Doctors distinguish between 'good' and 'bad' IBS patients and manage them accordingly. Many patients tend to find their IBS symptoms very troublesome. Patients are more satisfied if they are taken seriously and helped to manage their symptoms, but many feel that they are labelled as neurotic by the medical profession. They tend to feel stigmatized and let down by doctors. CONCLUSIONS: Better partnerships could be created with patients, and better outcomes for IBS might be achieved, if doctors recognized the impact of medical beliefs about IBS on patients. Doctors should offer IBS patients empowering explanations for their disorder. (+info)Lack of correlation between psychological factors and subclinical coronary artery disease. (6/248)
BACKGROUND: The relation between psychological variables and clinically evident coronary artery disease has been studied extensively, although the potential mechanisms of such a relation remain speculative. We studied the relation between multiple psychological variables and subclinical coronary artery disease to assess the possible role of such variables in atherogenesis. METHODS: We conducted a prospective study of 630 consecutive consenting, active-duty U.S. Army personnel, 39 to 45 years of age, without known coronary artery disease. Each participant was assessed for depression, anxiety, somatization, hostility, and stress. Subclinical coronary artery disease was identified by electron-beam computed tomography. RESULTS: The mean (+/-SD) age of the subjects was 42+/-2 years; 82 percent were male, and 72 percent were white. The prevalence of coronary-artery calcification was 17.6 percent (mean calcification score, 10+/-49). The prevalence of prior or current psychiatric disorders was 12.7 percent. There was no correlation between the coronary-calcification score and the scores measuring depression (r= -0.07, P=0.08), anxiety (r=-0.07, P=0.10), hostility (r=-0.07, P=0.10), or stress (r=-0.002, P=0.96). Somatization (the number and severity of durable physical symptoms) was inversely correlated with calcification scores (r=-0.12, P=0.003), even after we controlled for age and sex. In multivariate logistic-regression models, a somatization score greater than 4 (out of a possible 26) was independently associated with the absence of any coronary-artery calcification (odds ratio, 0.49; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.25 to 0.96). CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that depression, anxiety, hostility, and stress are not related to coronary-artery calcification and that somatization is associated with the absence of calcification. (+info)Impact of social support, cynical hostility and anger expression on progression of coronary atherosclerosis. (7/248)
OBJECTIVES: This prospective cohort study of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) sought to determine the impact of social support, anger expression and cynical hostility on progression of coronary atherosclerosis as shown by angiography. BACKGROUND: Low social support, high levels of expressed anger and cynical hostility are correlated to increased CAD morbidity and mortality. However, the impact of these factors, alone or together, on progression of human coronary atherosclerosis is unknown. METHODS: Of 223 patients with CAD documented by standardized angiography at baseline, 162 had a second angiogram after two years. An expert panel who had no knowledge of the patients' characteristics evaluated the films pairwise to determine disease progression. At baseline, all patients were asked to answer three self-report questionnaires: questions concerning emotional social support, the State-Trait-Anger-Expression Inventory (STAXI) and the Cook-Medley cynical hostility scale. Each patient's clinical and laboratory status was followed. RESULTS: Questionnaires and angiographic follow-up data were available for 150 patients. Bivariate analysis of the psychological variables showed a higher risk of progression only for patients who scored high on STAXI anger-out or low on social support. In the multivariate analysis, when adjusting for confounding variables and examining the interaction between psychological variables, only patients with both high anger-out and low social support were at highly increased risk for progression (odds ratio 30, confidence interval [CI] 5.5 to 165.1; RR 3.19). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with CAD and low emotional social support who express anger outwardly are at a highly increased risk of disease progression, independent of medication or other risk factors. (+info)A comparison of psychological functioning in women at different stages of in vitro fertilization treatment using the mean affect adjective check list. (8/248)
PURPOSE: The objectives were to identify the stage/s of IVF treatment where a woman is most vulnerable to psychological stress, and to assess the Mean Affect Adjective Check List (MAACL) as a measure of psychological functioning during IVF treatment, which has hitherto not been reported. METHODS: Thirty-seven women undergoing IVF treatment according to the long protocol of controlled ovarian stimulation completed the MAACL questionnaire at the following stages: (a) before treatment (visit 1), (b) before embryo transfer (visit 2), and (c) before pregnancy test (visit 3). RESULTS: Apart from anxiety scores for visit 2, the hostility, depression, and state anxiety scores for visit 3 were higher than the corresponding scores for visits 1 and 2 (P < 0.001). Anxiety scores for visits 2 and 3 were similar. CONCLUSIONS: Psychological counseling should be targeted at women after embryo transfer and leading up to the pregnancy test. The MAACL is a useful method for measuring psychological stress in women during IVF treatment. (+info)In a medical or psychological context, hostility typically refers to a negative and antagonistic attitude or behavior towards others. It can manifest as overt actions such as aggression, verbal abuse, or anger, or as covert attitudes such as cynicism, mistrust, or resentment. Hostility is often considered a component of certain mental health conditions, such as personality disorders or mood disorders, and has been linked to negative health outcomes like cardiovascular disease. However, it's important to note that hostility can also be a normal and adaptive response to certain situations, depending on the context.
Anger is a normal and adaptive human emotion, which can be defined as a negative emotional state that involves feelings of annoyance, irritation, hostility, and aggression towards someone or something that has caused harm, injury, or unfair treatment. It is a complex emotional response that can have physical, mental, and behavioral components.
Physiologically, anger triggers the release of stress hormones such as adrenaline, which prepares the body for a fight-or-flight response. This can result in symptoms such as increased heart rate, rapid breathing, and heightened sensory perception.
In terms of mental and behavioral components, anger can manifest as thoughts of revenge, verbal or physical aggression, or passive-aggressive behaviors. Chronic or uncontrolled anger can have negative impacts on one's health, relationships, and overall quality of life.
It is important to note that while anger is a normal emotion, it becomes a problem when it leads to harmful behaviors or interferes with daily functioning. In such cases, seeking professional help from a mental health provider may be necessary to learn healthy coping mechanisms and manage anger effectively.
While "Type A Personality" is commonly used in everyday language, it's important to note that it's not a term used in clinical medicine or psychology for official diagnosis. However, it does have a history in psychological research. The term was initially introduced by cardiologists Meyer Friedman and Ray Rosenman in the 1950s to describe a personality pattern associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease.
Type A Personality is often characterized by:
1. High level of competitiveness and ambition.
2. A sense of urgency and impatience, often feeling pressed for time.
3. Easily becoming frustrated or angry in traffic or in long lines.
4. Multitasking and doing many things at once.
5. Being highly organized and concerned with time management.
However, it's crucial to remember that these traits exist on a spectrum, and having some of these characteristics doesn't necessarily mean someone has a 'Type A Personality'. Also, the correlation between this personality pattern and coronary heart disease has been a subject of ongoing debate in recent years.
Communism is a political and economic ideology that advocates for a classless, stateless society in which all property and resources are owned in common and shared equally. In a communist system, the means of production, such as factories and land, are owned and controlled by the community as a whole, rather than by private individuals or corporations.
In medical terms, communism itself is not a disease or condition, but like any political ideology, it can have implications for healthcare policy and access to care. For example, in some communist countries, the government may provide universal healthcare coverage to all citizens, while in others, healthcare may be less accessible due to economic constraints or other factors.
It's important to note that the implementation of communism varies widely depending on the specific historical and cultural context, and there is no one "medical definition" of communism that applies universally.
Aggression is defined in medical terms as behavior that is intended to cause harm or damage to another individual or their property. It can take the form of verbal or physical actions and can be a symptom of various mental health disorders, such as intermittent explosive disorder, conduct disorder, antisocial personality disorder, and dementia. Aggression can also be a side effect of certain medications or a result of substance abuse. It is important to note that aggression can have serious consequences, including physical injury, emotional trauma, and legal repercussions. If you or someone you know is experiencing problems with aggression, it is recommended to seek help from a mental health professional.
A Personality Inventory is a standardized test used in psychology to assess an individual's personality traits and characteristics. It typically consists of a series of multiple-choice questions or statements that the respondent must rate according to their level of agreement or disagreement. The inventory measures various aspects of an individual's behavior, attitudes, and temperament, providing a quantifiable score that can be compared to normative data to help diagnose personality disorders, assess personal strengths and weaknesses, or provide insights into an individual's likely responses to different situations. Examples of well-known personality inventories include the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and the California Psychological Inventory (CPI).
Family conflict refers to disagreements or discord between family members, which can range from minor misunderstandings or differences in opinion to more serious issues such as communication breakdowns, emotional distress, and negative behaviors. These conflicts can arise from various sources, including differing values, beliefs, expectations, and parenting styles, as well as financial problems, substance abuse, and chronic illness. In some cases, family conflicts may be resolved through open communication, compromise, and counseling, while in other situations, they may lead to more serious consequences such as divorce, separation, or estrangement.
Personality tests are psychological assessments used to measure an individual's personality traits, characteristics, and behaviors. These tests are designed to evaluate various aspects of an individual's personality, such as their temperament, interpersonal style, emotional stability, motivation, values, and preferences. The results of these tests can help healthcare professionals, researchers, and organizations better understand a person's behavior, predict their performance in different settings, and identify potential strengths and weaknesses.
There are several types of personality tests, including self-report measures, projective tests, and objective tests. Self-report measures, such as the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) or the NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI), ask individuals to rate themselves on a series of statements or questions about their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Projective tests, like the Rorschach Inkblot Test or the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), present ambiguous stimuli that respondents must interpret, revealing unconscious thoughts, feelings, and motivations. Objective tests, such as the California Psychological Inventory (CPI) or the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF), use a standardized set of questions to assess specific personality traits and characteristics.
It is important to note that while personality tests can provide valuable insights into an individual's behavior, they should not be used as the sole basis for making important decisions about a person's life, such as employment or mental health treatment. Instead, these tests should be considered one piece of a comprehensive assessment that includes other sources of information, such as interviews, observations, and collateral reports.
In the context of medicine and psychology, personality is a complex concept that refers to the unique patterns of thoughts, behaviors, and emotions that define an individual and differentiate them from others. It is the set of characteristics that influence how we perceive the world, how we relate to other people, and how we cope with stress and challenges.
Personality is thought to be relatively stable over time, although it can also evolve and change in response to life experiences and maturation. It is shaped by a combination of genetic factors, environmental influences, and developmental experiences.
There are many different theories and models of personality, including the Five Factor Model (FFM), which identifies five broad domains of personality: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. Other approaches to understanding personality include psychoanalytic theory, humanistic psychology, and trait theory.
It's important to note that while the term "personality" is often used in everyday language to describe someone's behavior or demeanor, in medical and psychological contexts it refers to a more complex and multifaceted construct.
In the context of psychology and psychiatry, "individuation" is a term that was developed by Carl Jung to describe the process of psychological differentiation and integration that an individual undergoes in order to become a unique and whole person. It involves the development of a distinct identity and sense of self, separate from the collective or societal expectations and pressures.
However, I should clarify that "individuation" is not a term commonly used in medical terminology, but rather a concept from depth psychology. Therefore, it may not have a specific medical definition as such.
Psychological stress is the response of an individual's mind and body to challenging or demanding situations. It can be defined as a state of emotional and physical tension resulting from adversity, demand, or change. This response can involve a variety of symptoms, including emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and physiological components.
Emotional responses may include feelings of anxiety, fear, anger, sadness, or frustration. Cognitive responses might involve difficulty concentrating, racing thoughts, or negative thinking patterns. Behaviorally, psychological stress can lead to changes in appetite, sleep patterns, social interactions, and substance use. Physiologically, the body's "fight-or-flight" response is activated, leading to increased heart rate, blood pressure, muscle tension, and other symptoms.
Psychological stress can be caused by a wide range of factors, including work or school demands, financial problems, relationship issues, traumatic events, chronic illness, and major life changes. It's important to note that what causes stress in one person may not cause stress in another, as individual perceptions and coping mechanisms play a significant role.
Chronic psychological stress can have negative effects on both mental and physical health, increasing the risk of conditions such as anxiety disorders, depression, heart disease, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases. Therefore, it's essential to identify sources of stress and develop effective coping strategies to manage and reduce its impact.
"Social alienation" is not a term that has a specific medical definition in the same way that a term like "hypertension" or "diabetes" does. However, it is often used in a psychological or sociological context to describe a state of feeling disconnected or isolated from society, including feelings of loneliness, estrangement, and rejection.
In some cases, social alienation may be associated with mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, or schizophrenia. For example, a person with social anxiety disorder may experience social alienation due to their fear of social interactions and avoidance of social situations. Similarly, a person with schizophrenia may experience social alienation due to the stigma associated with their condition and difficulties with communication and social cues.
However, it's important to note that social alienation can also occur in people without any underlying mental health conditions. Factors such as discrimination, poverty, migration, and social upheaval can all contribute to feelings of social alienation.
Adoption is a legal process in which the rights and responsibilities of being a parent are transferred from one person or couple to another. It permanently gives adoptive parents custody of the child and makes them legally responsible for the child's care and well-being. The birth parents' legal rights and responsibilities are typically terminated as part of the adoption process, although in some cases they may retain certain rights or have ongoing contact with the child. Adoption can involve infants, older children, or siblings, and can be arranged through private agencies, foster care systems, or international channels.
I'm sorry for any confusion, but the term "Albania" does not have a medical definition. Albania is a country located in southeastern Europe, known officially as the Republic of Albania. It is bordered by Montenegro to the northwest, Kosovo to the northeast, North Macedonia to the east, and Greece to the south and southeast. Its capital and largest city is Tirana. If you have any questions about medical topics or definitions, I'd be happy to try to help answer them for you!
