Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying

2.1K
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross significantly advanced psychology's understanding of the process of dying with her influential book, On Death and Dying (1969). She focused on studying terminally ill individuals and outlined five stages commonly experienced when coping with death: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
In denial, individuals reject the reality of their condition, often thinking, "This isn't true; I feel fine," as a way to protect themselves from...

Bystander Effect02:09

Bystander Effect

9.5K
The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.

Individuals with depression often experience challenges in both their personal and professional...

Social Traps01:41

Social Traps

20.5K
Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...

Psychological and Sociocultural Causes of Schizophrenia01:29

Psychological and Sociocultural Causes of Schizophrenia

977
Schizophrenia, a complex psychiatric disorder, has been historically misunderstood. Early psychological theories attributed its origins to childhood trauma and unresponsive parenting. However, contemporary research largely rejects these notions, favoring the vulnerability-stress hypothesis. This model proposes that individuals with a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia may develop the disorder following exposure to significant environmental stressors. Notably, studies on high-risk...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Mental Health Research

Background:

  • Holidays and special occasions can be associated with significant emotional distress.
  • Previous research suggests potential links between specific dates and suicide incidence, but findings vary.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the frequency of suicides occurring on key holidays and special days in Queensland, Australia.
  • To identify if specific annual events correlate with changes in suicide rates.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of data from the Queensland Suicide Register (1990-2009).
  • Comparison of suicide cases on Easter, Christmas, New Year's Day, Valentine's Day, and Anzac Day against surrounding periods.

Main Results:

  • A statistically significant rise in suicides was observed on Christmas Eve.
  • New Year's Day also showed a significant increase in suicide occurrences.
  • Findings were contextualized within existing literature on suicide and temporal patterns.

Conclusions:

  • The early and late stages of the festive period require heightened vigilance.
  • Individuals with elevated suicide risk may need additional support during these times.
  • Public health strategies should consider these temporal patterns.
