Bonanno's Theory of Grieving

Bonanno's Theory of Grieving

Grieving is a complex psychological and emotional process that varies significantly among individuals. George Bonanno's research on bereavement identified four distinct patterns of grieving, offering a nuanced understanding of how people cope with significant loss, such as the death of a spouse, over extended periods. These patterns — resilience, recovery, chronic dysfunction, and delayed grief — highlight the diversity in emotional responses and adaptive mechanisms.

Surveys

Surveys

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.

Empathy

Empathy

Some researchers suggest that altruism operates on empathy. Empathy is the capacity to understand another person’s perspective, to feel what he or she feels. An empathetic person makes an emotional connection with others and feels compelled to help (Batson, 1991). Empathy can be expressed in several ways, including cognitive, affective, and motor.

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying

Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying

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...

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness

Avoidance learning and learned helplessness are critical concepts in understanding behavioral responses to negative stimuli.
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...

Background:

Suicide is a significant public health issue in the US and Idaho.
Limited data exists on suicide completers due to challenges in obtaining information.
This study aimed to gather data by surveying family members of those who died by suicide.

Purpose of the Study:

To understand the characteristics of individuals who died by suicide in Southeast Idaho.
To identify specific risk factors for suicide within this population.
To inform targeted suicide prevention strategies.

Main Methods:

A descriptive study was conducted using a 77-question survey.
Surveys were completed by family members or close contacts of the deceased.
Data collection occurred over three months in Southeast Idaho.

Main Results:

The study population was predominantly White (95%) and male (77%).
A majority had no prior mental health hospitalization (76%) but had a firearm at home (66%).
Common factors included previous suicide attempts (55%), relationship stress (55%), and legal issues (54%); firearms were the most common method (51%).

Conclusions:

High-risk individuals in Southeast Idaho were identified as White men with a history of suicide attempts.
Key risk factors include relationship changes, legal troubles, and access to firearms.
Prevention efforts should target these specific factors for greater effectiveness.
