This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "No one is rich enough to do without a neighbor." Traditional Danish Proverb This bit of Danish folk wisdom expresses an idea underlying much of the current thinking about social support. While the clinical literature has for a long time recognized the deleterious effects of unwholesome social relationships, only more recently has the focus broadened to include the positive side of social interaction, those interpersonal ties that are desired, rewarding, and protective. This book contains theoretical and research contributions by a group of scholars who are charting this side of the social spectrum. Evidence is increasing that maladaptive ways of thinking and behaving occur disproportionately among people with few social supports. Rather than sapping self-reliance, strong ties with others particularly family members seem to encourage it. Reliance on others and self-reliance are not only compatible but complementary to one another. While the mechanism by which an intimate relationship is protective has yet to be worked out, the following factors seem to be involved: intimacy, social integration through shared concerns, reassurance of worth, the opportunity to be nurtured by others, a sense of reliable alliance, and guidance. The major advance that is taking place in the literature on social support is that reliance is being -placed less on anecdotal and clinical evidence and more on empirical inquiry. The chapters of this book reflect this important development and identify the frontiers that are currently being explored.

Download or read book Men s Gender Role Conflict written by James M. O'Neil and published by Amer Psychological Assn. This book was released on 2015 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Men's gender role conflict is a psychological state in which restrictive definitions of masculinity limit men's well-being and human potential. Gender role conflict (GRC) doesn't just harm boys and men, but also girls and women, transgendered people, and society at large. Extensive research relates men's GRC to myriad behavioral problems, including sexism, violence, homophobia, depression, substance abuse, and relationship issues. This book represents a call to action for researchers and practitioners, graduate students, and other mental healthcare professionals to confront men's GRC and reduce its harmful influence on individuals and society. James O'Neil is a pioneer in men's psychology who conceptualized GRC and created the Gender Role Conflict Scale. In this book, he combines numerous studies from renowned scholars in men's psychology with more than 30 years of his own clinical and research experience to promote activism and challenge the status quo. He describes multiple effects of men's GRC, including success, power, and competition issues restricted emotionality restricted affectionate behavior between men conflicts between men's work and family relations. O'Neil also explains when GRC can develop in a man's gender role journey, how to address it through preventative programs and therapy for boys and men, and what initiatives researchers and clinicians can pursue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will change the way we understand the future of our planet. It is both alarming and hopeful. James Gustave Speth, renowned as a visionary environmentalist leader, warns that in spite of all the international negotiations and agreements of the past two decades, efforts to protect Earth's environment are not succeeding. Still, he says, the challenges are not insurmountable. He offers comprehensive, viable new strategies for dealing with environmental threats around the world. The author explains why current approaches to critical global environmental problems - climate change, biodiversity loss, deterioration of marine environments, deforestation, water shortages, and others - don't work. He offers intriguing insights into why we have been able to address domestic environmental threats with some success while largely failing at the international level. Setting forth eight specific steps to a sustainable future, Speth convincingly argues that dramatically different government and citizen action are now urgent. If ever a book could be described as essential, this is it.
Download or read book Personal Relationships and Social Support written by Steve Duck and published by Sage Publications (CA). This book was released on 1990 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is widely acknowledged that the support given by friends, intimates andother members of a social network is important to a person's well-being. Until recently, however, little attention has been paid to the relational processes and contexts through which social support is mediated. Personal Relationships and Social Support represents a major initiative in its focus upon social support as a phenomenon embedded in the everyday transactions and dynamics of people's interpersonal relationships. The authors consider such issues as the importance of the day-to-day talk' of social support within interpersonal relationships, the strategies that people use to mobilize support within particular relational contexts and the impact of people's daily life and work patterns on the need for, and ability to mobilize, support. The effect, in turn, of competence in support giving on the development and maintenance of interpersonal relationships is examined as are the possible negative consequences of particular kinds of support. Personal Relationships and Social Support brings together for the first time two strands of work, on social support and the nature of interpersonal relationships, which have tended to develop in isolation from each other. This path-breaking book will be essential reading for all those interested in new developments in theory and research in the field of human relationships.
Download or read book Does Perceived Social Support Moderate the Relationship Between Cumulative Trauma and Psychological Distress written by Rachel K. Turk and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upwards of 80% of individuals encounter some type of trauma in childhood or adolescence and once individuals experience one type of trauma they are more likely to have more experiences of trauma (Turner, Finkelhor, & Ormrod, 2010), which results in higher levels of psychological distress. Numerous factors have been identified as potentially protective in mitigating negative outcomes of traumatic experiences, but in particular perceived social support is a common protective factor. Previously, literature focused on a single, specific types of trauma, so the purpose of this study is to fill the gap by exploring the relationship between cumulative trauma, perceived social support, and psychological distress. It was hypothesized that higher levels of cumulative trauma would result in higher levels of psychological distress, and higher levels of perceived social support would result in lower levels of psychological distress. Additionally, it was hypothesized that perceived social support would be a moderator with higher levels of perceived social support being related to less psychological distress. Data was collected through an online survey system including 319 participants from a rural southeast university in the United States. The Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire (JVQ; Finkelhor et al., 2005), the Life Events Checklist (LEC; Blake et al., 1995), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS; Zimet et al., 1988), and the Trauma Symptom Checklist- 40 (TSC-40; Elliott & Briere, 1992) were administered; regression analyses were run to determine that both main effect hypotheses and the interaction effect hypothesis were significant. Results suggest that higher levels of cumulative trauma result in higher levels of psychological distress and that higher levels of perceived social support result in lower levels of psychological distress. Last, perceived social support was found to be a significant moderator for cumulative trauma and psychological distress. These findings initiate many meaningful clinical implications.

Book excerpt: The link among health, well-being and social support is well-known. Social support represents an important protective factor against stress both directly (see the main effect hypothesis) and as a mediator. Nevertheless, it fosters health but at the same time may create a burden for those who work as caregivers and perceive the strain of their professional responsibility. This book discusses gender differences, the psychological importance and impacts on well-being of social support. Chapter One presents some theoretical consideration about health and social support from a gender perspective. Chapter Two clarifies the impacts of caring and their gender differentials. Chapter Three outlines empirical research on the determinants of gender-specific effects in tonic or stress-related physiological responses, along with potential mechanisms responsible for gender-specific effects. Chapter Four investigates the relationship between social support and both hedonic and eudaimonic well-being controlling for the effects of fluid intelligence and personality traits Italian high school students. Chapter Five creates a better understanding of universal (etic) and unique (emic) social support patterns of aging adults around the world. Chapter Six investigates the mediating role of social support in the relationships between the religious meaning system and psychological well-being. Chapter Seven discusses the importance of taking the central role of social support in the etiology and prognosis of a cardiac disease into account in cardiac rehabilitation and preventive programs.

This book was released on 1987 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Uncorrected OCR) ATTRACT This study examined the relationship between negative life events and psychological, distress and the moderating influences of positive life events, social support and attributional style in this relationship. One hundred and eleven first year university students served as subjects. Instruments used in this study were the Life Experiences Survey, Interpersonal Support Evaluation List, Attributional Style Questionnaire, and General Health Questionnaire. Negative life events were found to significantly correlate with psychological distress. A stress-buffering effect of positive life events was found. Independent and stress-buffering effects of social support were also found. Furthermore, the self-esteem type of support was identified to be responsible for the interactive effects of social support. A significant correlation between negative life events and psychological distress was also found among subjects who explained negative outcomes in terras of internal, stable, and global factors, or, Negative (I-S-G), but not among those who explained negative outcomes in terms of external, unstable, and specific factors, or. Negative (E-U-S). Finally, the buffering effects of positive life events and social support were greater in those Negative (I-S-G) than in those Negative (E-U-S).
