Theoretical Approaches to Psychological Disorder01:29

Theoretical Approaches to Psychological Disorder

327
The development of psychological disorders, which are characterized by deviant, maladaptive, and personally distressing behaviors, has been explored through several theoretical approaches.
Biological approach
The biological approach posits that internal, organic factors are the primary causes of such disorders. This perspective emphasizes brain structure and function, genetic predispositions, and neurotransmitter imbalances. For example, schizophrenia has been associated with both genetic...

Introduction to Biological Bases of Psychology

3.5K
Biopsychology serves as a vital bridge connecting the intricate domains of biology and psychology, shedding light on how biological systems influence psychological phenomena. This field scrutinizes the biological substrates of behavior and mental processes, emphasizing the nervous system along with the roles of neurotransmitters, hormones, and genetics. It also incorporates evolutionary perspectives to explain the adaptive nature of mental functions.
The nervous system, the cornerstone of...

Psychoneuroimmunology: Cardiovascular Disease

78
Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is a multidisciplinary field that examines how psychological factors, particularly stress, interact with the immune system and impact physical health. Research in PNI has shown that chronic or traumatic stress can disrupt both the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the sympathetic nervous system. These disruptions contribute to serious health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases.
A key area of focus in PNI is the relationship between stress and coronary...

Psychoneuroimmunology: Diabetes and Cancer

62
Chronic stress has been linked to both the onset and progression of serious health conditions, including Type 2 diabetes and cancer. Type 2 diabetes, a widespread chronic illness, is closely associated with obesity and insulin resistance, both of which often worsen under stress. Studies indicate that men experiencing high levels of chronic stress face a 45% higher risk of developing diabetes compared to those with minimal stress. Stress triggers physiological responses that elevate blood...

An Overview of the Endocrine System01:10

An Overview of the Endocrine System

9.6K
The endocrine system, a complex network of glands, orchestrates physiological balance within the body through the production and secretion of hormones. These hormones are chemical messengers in intercellular communication, acting as conduits between the secretory cells and distant target sites. They traverse the circulatory system by being released into the extracellular fluid, and their impact is specific to cells possessing receptors for a particular hormone.
The endocrine system collaborates...

Bias in Epidemiological Studies01:29

Bias in Epidemiological Studies

683
Biases can arise at various stages of research, from study design and data collection to analysis and interpretation. Recognizing and addressing these biases is essential to ensure the validity and reliability of epidemiological findings.Broadly speaking, biases in epidemiology fall into three main categories: selection bias, information bias, and confounding. A more detailed description of possible biases is:

Area of Science:

  • Psychoneuroendocrinology
  • Social Sciences
  • Health Disparities

Background:

  • Intersectionality is increasingly recognized in scientific research.
  • Conceptual and methodological challenges persist in its application.
  • This review focuses on the psychoneuroendocrinology literature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the application of the intersectionality framework in psychoneuroendocrinology.
  • To identify current trends and limitations in its use.
  • To provide recommendations for future research.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted a systematic search of multiple databases (PubMed, APA PsycNet, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar).
  • Searched between July and September 2024 using keywords for intersectionality and psychoneuroendocrinology.
  • Included 32 studies that proposed intersectionality-related concepts.

Main Results:

  • Only two-thirds of the studies defined intersectionality or integrated it methodologically.
  • Key research areas identified: women's health, mental health, inflammation, and cardiovascular disease (CVD).
  • Limited integration of intersectionality beyond basic subgroup analyses was observed.

Conclusions:

  • Future research must move beyond simple subgroup analyses to include broader identity dimensions (e.g., immigration status, disability).
  • There is a need to better disentangle concepts like race/ethnicity and gender/sex.
  • Recommended future priorities include comprehensive framework integration, incorporating power structures, and employing advanced statistical methods like MAIHDA (Multilevel Analysis of Individual Heterogeneity and Discriminatory Accuracy).
