Relationship Formation

46.2K
What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Ending Relationships

181
The dissolution of intimate relationships presents complex emotional and psychological challenges, particularly when emotional bonds are strong, the relationship is long-standing, and perceived alternatives are limited. This distress often intensifies in romantic breakups, where the initiator may experience greater turmoil than the rejected partner. Contributing factors include residual attachment, guilt over causing pain, and uncertainty about how to manage the situation. The stress is further...

Directing Effect of Substituents: meta-Directing Groups

5.9K
Substituents on the benzene ring that direct an incoming electrophile to undergo substitution at the meta position are called meta directors. All meta directors either have a positive charge on the atom directly bonded to the ring or a partial positive charge. These groups function by withdrawing electrons from the ring through inductive and resonance effects. Consider the carbocation intermediates formed upon the addition of an electrophile on nitrobenzene at the...

Interpersonal relationships progress through stages, beginning with awareness and moving toward mutuality, where emotional connections deepen. While many relationships remain at moderate levels of mutuality, deeper connections form through self-disclosure, trust, and interdependence.Self-DisclosureSelf-disclosure involves revealing personal information, starting with surface-level details and gradually progressing to more intimate content. As trust grows, individuals feel more comfortable...

Social Relationships and Well-Being

286
The significance of social relationships in psychological well-being is a well-established area of inquiry within social psychology. Research consistently demonstrates that the presence of meaningful, supportive relationships enhances emotional health, while the absence or deterioration of such connections can contribute to psychological distress. Relationships serve as a foundation for emotional support, identity, and social belonging, all of which are critical to an individual’s overall...

Close Relationships and Culture

227
Culture shapes how people approach attraction, choose partners, and build long-term relationships. While some preferences in mate selection appear consistent across cultures, such as men valuing physical attractiveness and women emphasizing financial resources, cultural contexts influence how these preferences are expressed and prioritized. Marriage extends beyond romantic ideals in many societies and is deeply embedded in social, economic, and religious frameworks.The Role of Culture in Mate...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Stroke is a major global cause of death and disability.
  • Previous research explored smoking's impact on stroke, but often overlooked key factors.
  • This study addresses the relationship between stroke and smoking, considering sex, smoking quantity, stroke subtype, and follow-up duration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and explore the relationship between stroke and cigarette smoking.
  • To analyze the influence of sex, smoking quantity, stroke subtype, and follow-up duration on this relationship.
  • To extend previous findings by incorporating a comprehensive analysis of these factors.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review was conducted using PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register databases.
  • Search criteria included "stroke" (MeSH) and "smoking" (MeSH).
  • Statistical analyses were performed using Stata, with funnel plots and Egger regression tests for publication bias assessment.

Main Results:

  • The meta-analysis included 14 studies with 303,134 subjects.
  • Smokers exhibited an overall increased stroke risk (OR=1.61). Current smokers had higher risk (OR=1.92) than former smokers (OR=1.30).
  • Passive smoking increased stroke risk by 45% (OR=1.45). Stroke risk rose 12% for every 5 cigarettes smoked daily.

Conclusions:

  • Smoking is a significant risk factor for stroke.
  • The risk is higher for current smokers and increases with the number of cigarettes smoked.
  • Passive smoking also contributes to increased stroke risk, highlighting the importance of smoke-free environments.
