HAZEL ROSE MARKUS BARRY SCHWARTZ Americans live in a political, social, and historical context that values personal freedom and choice above all else, an emphasis that has been amplified by con- temporary psychology. However, this article reviews research that shows that in non-Western cultures and among working-class Westerners, freedom and choice do not have the meaning or importance they do for the university-educated people who have been the subjects of almost all research on this topic. We cannot assume that choice, as understood by educated, affluent Westerners, is a universal as- piration.

Ola, MPH University of Pittsburgh, 2018 ABSTRACT Purpose: This study sought to uncover targets for psychosocial intervention with advanced cancer patients by elucidating the three-way interactions among coping, perceived control, and perceived stress and their impact on immune function. Background: In recent decades, stress- related immune dysfunction—namely, chronic inflammation—has been cited as the underlying mechanism through which a variety of chronic diseases of public health significance, including type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and dementias, develop. There is also evidence to suggest that stress only results in serious pathology when it is long-standing and unresolved.

  • New Directions for a Dispositional Theory
    THE CHARACTER OF CHARACTER: NEW DIRECTIONS FOR A DISPOSITIONAL THEORY Nicole Smith Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Committee: Daniel Jacobson, Advisor Judith A. Zimmerman, Graduate Faculty Representative Christian Coons David Shoemaker ii ABSTRACT Daniel Jacobson, Advisor My dissertation aims to solve a puzzle, a paradox, and a problem. The puzzle is to explain why people act in uncharacteristic (i.e., seemingly cruel) ways in a number of social psychological experiments, such as Stanley Milgram’s obedience experiment, in which 65% of the participants complied with the experimenter’s demands to issue a series of increasingly powerful “shocks” to an unwilling recipient. I argue that owing to features of the experimental design participants were made to feel: out of their element, confused, disoriented, pressured, intimidated, and acutely distressed, and that the “experimenter” (actually a confederate) exploited these factors, which is the central reason why the majority of participants complied with his demands despite being reluctant to do so. The paradox is that, although ordinary people seem to be good, bad, or somewhere in between, evidence (again from social psychology) seems to suggest that most people would behave deplorably on many occasions and heroically on many others. This, in turn, suggests the paradoxical conclusion that most people are indeterminate—i.e., no particular character evaluation appears to apply to them. I argue to the contrary that the social psychological evidence fails to support the claim that people would behave deplorably on many occasions. Milgram’s participants, for example, faced extenuating circumstances that should mitigate the degree to which they were blameworthy for their actions, and this, in turn, challenges the claim that they behaved deplorably.

  • Examining Religious and Meaning-Focused Coping
    religions Article Emotional State of Parents of Children Diagnosed with Cancer: Examining Religious and Meaning-Focused Coping Natalia Ziółkowska 1, Kamilla Bargiel-Matusiewicz 1,2,* and Ewa Gruszczy ´nska 1 1 Institute of Psychology, SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Chodakowska Street 19/31, 03-815 Warsaw, Poland; [email protected] (N.Z.); [email protected] (E.G.) 2 Faculty of Psychology, University of Warsaw, Stawki Street 5/7, 00-183 Warsaw, Poland * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 29 January 2020; Accepted: 12 March 2020; Published: 16 March 2020 Abstract: For parents, a child’s oncological disease is a critical life event with a high burdening potential, which changes the functioning of the whole family on many different levels. It triggers various coping strategies with this situation, including religious-based coping. This topic has been somewhat rarely explored, and thus, the aim of the study was to examine the relationship between the emotional state and religious and meaning-focused coping among parents of children diagnosed with cancer. A total of 147 parents participated in this study. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that correlates of positive emotions in the studied group were the economic situation, the time from diagnosis, positive reappraisal and negative religious coping. Only one significant correlate of negative emotions was identified. There is some support for the incremental validity of negative religious coping in relation to meaning-focused coping. Keywords: religious coping; emotions; parents; children with cancer 1. Introduction A child’s oncological disease is a critical life event with the high burdening potential for most parents (Gouvela et al.

Need: a necessity, especially a physiological. Desire: something that is wanted, but not needed. Primary drive: drives that are innate such as hunger, thirst, and sex. Secondary drive: drives that are learned through conditioning such as working for money. Arousal: the level of alertness, wakefulness, an activation caused by activity in the CNS. Yerkes-Dodson Law: people perform best at a moderate level of arousal. Sensation seeking: searching for a certain level of sympathetic nervous system of arousal. Incentive theory: people are motivated by a desire to obtain external incentives. 1. Incentive: a positive or negative environment stimulus that motivates behavior. 2. Primary incentives: motivates behavior to satisfy a physiological need. 3. Secondary incentive: motivates behavior to satisfy a desire.

    religions Article Clients’ Faith Experiences as an Opportunity or a Challenge for Psychotherapy: A Qualitative Analysis of Clinical Records Aida Hougaard Andersen 1,* , Dorte Toudal Viftrup 2 , Heidi Frølund Pedersen 3 and Kirsten K. Roessler 1 1 Department of Psychology, University of Southern Denmark, 5230 Odense M, Denmark; [email protected] 2 Research Unit of General Practice, University of Southern Denmark, 5000 Odense C, Denmark; [email protected] 3 Research Clinic for Functional Disorders and Psychosomatics, Aarhus University Hospital, 8000 Aarhus C, Denmark; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 25 July 2020; Accepted: 27 September 2020; Published: 1 October 2020 Abstract: Faith experiences constitute important sources of meaning but also a risk of religious struggles. However, studies exploring the faith experiences of clients in relation to psychological functioning in psychotherapy are needed, especially in secularized countries. This study investigated how clients described faith experiences when addressed in psychotherapy, how they experienced faith in relation to coping, and how the experiences were integrated into the psychotherapy. Written records of 33 clients from a psychological clinic with outpatient care in Denmark were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. The most prevalent diagnoses among the clients were stress, depression, anxiety, and life crises. The clients reported that spiritual and religious beliefs functioned as sources of meaning and constituted either a strength, a challenge, or a combination of both. The psychosocial life and coping strategies of the clients were interwoven with faith experiences. A psychological, resource-focused approach in relation to the clients’ religious challenges seemed to help them toward a more flexible and resource-oriented faith.

    5 Central Nervous System Integration of the Psychological Stress Responsedistribute or Chapter Objectives post, 1. Learn the stages of appraisal that lead to psychological stress responses. 2. Learn how interpretation of ongoing events can be translated into emotional responses and motivations for behavior. 3. Understand the brain structures that are involved in the appraisal pro- cess and formationcopy, of emotions. 4. Understand the interaction between cognitive and affective informa- tionnot that forms frontal-limbic interactions. 5. Learn the role of outputs from the amygdala in forming physiological outputs to the body during states of stress. Do n this chapter, we consider how a person’s view of the world can influence Ihis or her emotions and thereby cause psychological stress responses. We will begin with a functional view of how persons evaluate events and then consider how these evaluations may result in negative emotions leading to 85 Copyright ©2016 by SAGE Publications, Inc.

This discussion will then focus on the neurophysiology of negative affect and its associated neural processes and how these can lead to physiological states accompanying psychological distress. Chapter 3 dis- cussed brain systems underlying the peripheral stress response. It emphasized homeostatic regulation based on activities of the hypothalamus, brainstem, and autonomic nervous system. Chapter 4 introduced the idea that stress responses may arise from psychological threats. We will begin now to for- mulate a more complete picture of how psychological events can cause stress reactions.

  • Fragile Self-Esteem∗
    Fragile Self-Esteem∗ Botond K}oszegi George Loewenstein Takeshi Murooka Central European University Carnegie Mellon University Osaka University July 12, 2021 Abstract We develop a model of fragile self-esteem | self-esteem that is vulnerable to objectively unjustified swings | and study its implications for choices that depend on, or are aimed at enhancing or protecting, one's self-view. In our framework, a person's self-esteem is determined by sampling his memories of ego-relevant outcomes in a fashion that in turn depends on how he feels about himself, potentially creating multiple fragile \self-esteem personal equilibria." Self-esteem is especially likely to be fragile, as well as unrealistic in either the positive or the negative direction, if being successful is important to the agent. A person with a low self-view might exert less effort when success is more important. An individual with a high self-view, in contrast, might distort his choices to prevent a collapse in self-esteem, with the distortion being greater if his true ability is lower. We discuss the implications of our results for mental well-being, education, job search, workaholism, and aggression. ∗We thank Chishio Furukawa, Nicola Gennaioli, Johannes Maier, T´ımeaMoln´ar,three anonymous referees, and seminar and conference audiences for insightful comments.
