    Page 1 of 22 Are you eating your emotions?: An investigation into perceived stress and trait anxiety as predictors of binge-eating behaviour Stephenie Martland Supervised by: Dr Sarah Grogan April 2014 Page 2 of 22 Are you eating your emotions?: An investigation into perceived stress and trait anxiety as predictors of binge-eating behaviour ABSTRACT With the rising prevalence of eating disorders within the United Kingdom and the current equivocal findings regarding negative affect and disordered eating, the present research aimed to assess the predictive capacity of perceived stress and trait anxiety on binge-eating behaviours within the general population (N = 115). Via opportunity sampling, 32 males and 83 females took part in a questionnaire comprising of 3 separate well-established questionnaires, the Perceived Stress Scale, the IPIP HEXACO E:Anxi scale and the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire. Pearson’s correlation coefficients and multiple regression analyses were computed. Findings indicated moderate significant positive correlations between the independent variables of perceived stress and trait anxiety and the dependent variable of disinhibition. However, multiple regression analyses did not replicate such results. Inconsistent with previous research, it can be concluded that perceived stress and trait anxiety are not significant predictors of binge-eating behaviour. The results are discussed regarding previous research and future research implications. PERCEIVED TRAIT ANXIETY BINGE EATING NEGATIVE DISORDERED KEY STRESS AFFECT EATING WORDS: Page 3 of 22 Introduction Over the past thirty to forty years, the prevalence of eating disorders has risen dramatically with the current estimate of around 1.1 to 1.6 million people suffering within the United Kingdom today (Disordered Eating, 2013; Beat, 2010).

The authors see the need for overcoming major methodological and design inadequacies of such research.. They discuss major methodological flaws in group outcome research.as including:(1) lack of adequate base rate or pretraining measures;(2) failure to include a matched control group;(3) lack of truly independent observers; (4) failure to control adequately for test reactivity and obtrusive observer effects;(5) failure to employ dependent measures consistent with the group goals; and (6) failure to include followup. The authors attempt to avoid these pitfalls in the model experimental paradigm which they present. The model includes:(1) determination and specification of group goals;(2) screening of group members;(3) pre-testing; (4) experimental treatment;(5) post-testing;(6) followup testing; (7) long-term followup testing; and (8) an analysis of data.(WSK) FILMED FROMBEST AVAILABLECOPY TOWARD THE LONG-TERM SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF ENCOUNTER GROUP PHENOMENA: or, I.

  • Running Head: Transformational Psychology and Reducing Bias
    RUNNING HEAD: TRANSFORMATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY AND REDUCING BIAS Using Transformational Psychology to reduce bias and maintain the ethical practice of forensic mental health evaluations 2018 Christian Association for Psychological Studies International Conference. Norfolk, VA Thomas Knudsen, Psy.D., ABPP Rubenzahl, Knudsen & Associates Psychological Services, PC. Watertown, NY State University of New York, Jefferson Authors Note: Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Thomas Knudsen, Psy.D., ABPP, Rubenzahl, Knudsen & Associates Psychological Services, PC, 22670 Summit Drive Watertown, NY 13601 Contact: [email protected] TRANSFORMATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY AND REDUCING BIAS 2 Abstract: Forensic mental health clinicians offer criminal and family court valuable insight for making legal decisions. However, there is evidence that bias exists in the clinician’s opinion due to a myriad of issues. Clinicians are often unaware of their bias due to the phenomenon called the “bias blind spot.” Promoting ethical forensic psychological practice requires the clinician to do what is necessary to reduce bias. The “Transformational Psychological View” proposed by Coe and Hall (2010) can provide a framework for the Christian mental health clinician to aid in the reduction of the bias blind spot. The “Transformational Psychology View” suggests that the practice of psychology begins as an act of love. This concept interfaces well with the practice of psychotherapy, but performing forensic evaluations poses new challenges to acting in love towards your patient. How do we love those that are deplorable in our site and have hurt others who are innocent? Do we act with love towards the patient or the victims of the patient’s crimes or abuses? How can we use compassion to minimize bias due to the clinician’s reactivity from a sense of justice, morality, or faith? This paper proposes that doing the forensic evaluation as an act of love will reduce bias.

These applications refer to the current status of Forensic Psychology. But this status was not gained within a day or two. It took a long time to gain this present day status. So in this Unit 2 we will make you familiar with the history of growth and development of Forensic Psychology, in order to understand how it attained the present day status. In doing so, we will mainly concentrate on the contributions of key persons in this field. Thus in this unit we will be dealing with early research in forensic psychology, and what was the role of forensic psychology in the courts, how did the armed forces use forensic psychology, what were the developments in forensic psychology after world war II and we would also deal with the current status of forensic psychology in the present day.

  • Clinical Psychologists Assess and Treat People with Psychological Problems
    AREAS OF SPECIALIZATION IN PSYCHOLOGY CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY: Clinical psychologists assess and treat people with psychological problems. They may act as therapists for people experiencing normal psychological crises (e.g., grief) or for individuals suffering from chronic psychiatric disorders. Some clinical psychologists are generalists who work with a wide variety of populations, while others work with specific groups like children, the elderly, or those with specific disorders (e.g., schizophrenia). They are trained in universities or professional schools of psychology. They may be found working in academic settings, hospitals, community health centers, or private practice. (See also Counseling Psychology.) COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY: Cognitive psychologists study cognitive processes such as how people know things, think about things, and organize things in their minds. Specific topics covered in cognitive psychology are the processes of thought, knowledge, memory and language. Most often cognitive psychologists are trained with the research scientist model and can be found in university or laboratory settings. COMMUNITY PSYCHOLOGY: These psychologists are concerned with communities of people rather than individuals. This is similar to sociology. Community psychologists often study special populations, especially groups that might be at risk for emotional or behavioral difficulty. Community psychologists often work with health agencies, schools, or community offices to promote optimal conditions for people. COUNSELING PSYCHOLOGY: Counseling psychologists do many of the same things that clinical psychologists do. However, counseling psychologists tend to focus more on persons with adjustment problems and problems normally encountered in the life span rather than on persons suffering from severe psychological disorders. They may be trained in Psychology Departments or in Schools of Education.
