Surveys

16.1K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities.

Psychological and Sociocultural Causes of Schizophrenia

221
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...

Cross-Sectional Research

11.9K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Humanistic Psychology01:24

Humanistic Psychology

1.9K
Humanistic psychology emerged in the mid-20th century as a response to the deterministic and pessimistic nature of behaviorism and psychoanalysis. While behaviorism focused on observable behaviors influenced by the environment and psychoanalysis delved into unconscious motivations, both theories suggested that human actions lacked free will. In contrast, humanistic psychology offers a perspective that emphasizes the innate potential for goodness and growth within every individual.

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Mental Health Disparities
  • Qualitative Research

Background:

  • In 2020, 18.4% of Hispanic individuals experienced mental illness, with only a third receiving treatment, contrasting with nearly half of non-Hispanic Whites.
  • Montana faces a critical gap in mental health services, with only 11% of needs currently met, leading to low service utilization among all populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the perceptions of Hispanic immigrants in a rural state regarding mental health.
  • To understand barriers and facilitators to professional mental health service utilization within this demographic.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive phenomenological approach was employed.
  • Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted in Spanish with 14 participants from diverse Latin American backgrounds.
  • Interviews were transcribed, translated, and analyzed for thematic patterns.

Main Results:

  • Five key themes emerged: definitions of mental health, strategies for maintaining mental health, the role of familismo/socialization, experiences with stigma, and acculturation stress.
  • Participants' understanding of mental health was influenced by cultural factors and personal experiences.
  • Stigma and acculturation stress were identified as significant barriers to seeking professional help.

Conclusions:

  • There is a pressing need for culturally sensitive, Spanish-language mental health services.
  • Services should actively work to reduce mental illness stigma within the Hispanic immigrant community.
  • Integrating the importance of social connections and familismo into mental health interventions is recommended.
