Importance of Need for Affiliation01:25

Importance of Need for Affiliation

157
The need for affiliation is a fundamental human motive that drives individuals to form and maintain interpersonal relationships. This universal drive varies in intensity among individuals due to genetic predispositions and life experiences, shaping it into a relatively stable personality trait. Social inclusion enhances emotional well-being by fulfilling the need for affiliation, whereas social exclusion leads to distress, negative emotions, and cognitive impairments.Psychological and Emotional...

Anorexia Nervosa01:28

Anorexia Nervosa

602
Anorexia nervosa is a complex and severe eating disorder characterized by an intense fear of weight gain, an unrelenting pursuit of thinness, and a distorted body image. It often leads to dangerously low body weight relative to an individual's age and height. This disorder is marked by significant physical and psychological consequences, making it one of the most life-threatening psychiatric illnesses.

Cause and Effect

11.8K
While variables are sometimes correlated because one does cause the other, it could also be that some other factor, a confounding variable, is actually causing the systematic movement in our variables of interest. For instance, as sales in ice cream increase, so does the overall rate of crime. Is it possible that indulging in your favorite flavor of ice cream could send you on a crime spree? Or, after committing crime do you think you might decide to treat yourself to a cone?

Fundamental Attribution Error

13.5K
According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

Self-Schemas02:16

Self-Schemas

35.2K
In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Habitat Fragmentation02:31

Habitat Fragmentation

20.6K
Habitat fragmentation describes the division of a more extensive, continuous habitat into smaller, discontinuous areas. Human activities such as land conversion, as well as slower geological processes leading to changes in the physical environment, are the two leading causes of habitat fragmentation. The fragmentation process typically follows the same steps: perforation, dissection, fragmentation, shrinkage, and attrition.

Summary

Food insecurity and housing instability are closely linked, with each condition increasing the risk of the other over time. Integrating antipoverty programs could help alleviate these intertwined economic hardships.

Area of Science:

  • Sociology
  • Public Health
  • Economics

Background:

  • Material hardship is common, leading to strong correlations between food insecurity and housing instability.
  • A bidirectional relationship between these two issues requires further investigation over time.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the potential bidirectional associations between food insecurity and housing instability over a 2-year period.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, analyzing 2368 families across two time points.
  • Employed cross-lagged path analyses within structural equation modeling to assess the temporal relationship.
  • Controlled for sociodemographic characteristics and concurrent outcomes in the analysis.

Main Results:

  • Food insecurity at baseline significantly increased the odds of housing instability two years later (OR=1.624).
  • Housing instability at baseline significantly increased the odds of food insecurity two years later (OR=1.404).
  • Both relationships remained significant after controlling for covariates.

Conclusions:

  • Food insecurity and housing instability exhibit a strong, correlated, bidirectional relationship over time.
  • Current antipoverty programs addressing these issues often operate in isolation.
  • Consolidating programs or enhancing referrals may effectively reduce these intertwined economic hardships.
