Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying01:21

Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying

1.8K
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...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.7K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory01:20

Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory

2.6K
Cognitive psychologist Richard Lazarus proposed the cognitive-mediational theory of emotions, which emphasizes how individuals' assessments of stressors significantly affect their experience of stress. According to Lazarus, the stress response is determined by a two-step appraisal process: primary appraisal and secondary appraisal. These cognitive appraisals help individuals evaluate the potential impact of a stressor and determine the adequacy of their coping resources.
Primary Appraisal:...

Psychological Responses to Stress01:20

Psychological Responses to Stress

875
Psychological responses to stress encompass the various cognitive and emotional reactions individuals experience when faced with challenging or threatening situations, such as a job loss. Prolonged exposure to stressors can disturb emotional balance, increasing negative emotions (e.g., anxiety and sadness) and diminishing positive emotions (e.g., joy and satisfaction). These persistent emotional shifts are associated with an increased risk of both physical illness and mental health issues, such...

Stress and Mental Health01:30

Stress and Mental Health

1.1K
Chronic stress profoundly affects mental health, significantly influencing mood, behavior, and overall quality of life. Research closely links chronic stress with mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Ongoing exposure to stress can lead to physiological and psychological changes, initiating a cycle of emotional distress and maladaptive coping mechanisms.
Individuals with depression often experience challenges in both their personal and professional...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

45.1K
People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Psychology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Limited research exists on stigma experienced by individuals with suicidal behavior history.
  • Few studies differentiate stigma from treatment providers versus social networks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine stigma experienced by individuals with previous suicidal behavior.
  • To investigate stigma sources: treatment providers and social/family networks.

Main Methods:

  • 156 individuals with a history of suicidal behavior were recruited.
  • Data collected on perceived stigma from various sources.

Main Results:

  • Highest stigma rates reported from close family members and emergency department personnel.
  • Stigma more prevalent from non-mental health providers and social networks than mental health providers.
  • Stigma source and type significantly predicted depression symptomology, with social network stigma being the strongest predictor.

Conclusions:

  • Findings emphasize the need for research on social network reactions to suicide disclosure.
  • Interventions to improve interactions following suicide disclosure are recommended.
