Subsequent Onset

Recent evidence indicates that perceived adequacy of support has substantial predictive power for the subsequent onset of minor psychiatric symptoms. Such findings suggest that social support is not purely a properly of the environment, but is also a function of personality. The problem, however, with a re-emphasis on personality variables is that any one of scores of dimensions can be chosen for study. This paper argues that precision may be gained by conceptualizing personality variables in terms of basic behavioral systems that have been extensively investigated in ethological and developmental studies. One such basic system is attachment. The present paper discusses the relevance of attachment theory for understanding susceptibility to stress and individual differences in the use of social support during times of stress.

Autonomous Functioning

Evidence from past literature revealed that individuals with special needs have been neglected by parents, government and well-meaning authorities in Nigeria while numerous studies have shown that individuals with disability are facing a lot of psychosocial problems. This study examined the influence of age, perceived social support and autonomy on psychological distress among students with disabilities. The independent variables are social support and autonomy while dependent variable is psychological distress. This study adopted a correlational research design; 147 participants were sampled using simple randomisation. A questionnaire pack containing demographic factors (age, gender, religion, tribe), Social Support Questionnaire, Index of Autonomous Functioning and Distress Tolerance Scale were administered to the participants. Person product moment correlation, regression and one-way ANOVA were used to analyse the data. Results revealed a significant positive relationship between perceive social support and psychological distress (r=.190, p<.05), and between autonomy and psychological distress (r=.240, p<.01). Also, there was a joint significant prediction of perceived social support and autonomy on psychological distress [R=.476; R2=.226; F(3,252) =13.40;P<.05]. However, age [t=2.828, p<.05, β=-.218], and autonomy [t=-4.165, p<.05, β=-.333] did independently predict psychological distress. Adolescence stage had significant influence on psychological distress (F(2,144)=7.84, p.<.01); further result revealed a significant difference in the psychological distress of participants in late adolescence and early adolescence (MD=8.12; p<.01). The study recommends that parents and stakeholders should encourage autonomy among people with disabilities. However, experts should be involved in order to be able to maintain appropriate autonomy that will alleviate psychological distress among these individuals.

Risk Taking Behaviors

Aims The prevalence of risk-taking behaviors is a severe health threat. According to rapid social changes, it has recently been considered by health organizations, law enforcement, and social policymakers. The present study aimed to predict risk-taking behaviors based on the role of perceived social support components, emotional expression, and brain-behavioral systems in substance-dependent patients. Methods & Materials This was a descriptive correlational study. The statistical population of the study included all substance-dependent patients referring to substance dependence treatment centers in Ardabil City, Iran, in 2018. In total, 113 substance-dependent patients were selected by convenience sampling method. The study instruments included Rajaee and shafieechr('39')s Risk-Taking Behaviors Questionnaire, Zimetchr('39')s Multiple Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), King, and Emmonschr('39')s Emotional Expressiveness Questionnaire (EEQ), and Carver and Whitechr('39')s Brain-Behavioral Systems Questionnaire (BIS/BAS). The obtained data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and simultaneous-entry multiple regression analysis in SPSS. Findings The achieved results suggested a significant negative correlation between perceived social support from family, friends, and others, with the risk-taking behaviors of substance-dependent patients (P<0.01). There was a significant positive correlation between negative emotional expression and the risk-taking behaviors of substance-dependent patients among emotional expressiveness components (P<0.01). Moreover, among the components of brain-behavioral systems, there was a significant positive correlation between behavioral activation system and risk-taking behaviors (P<0.01). Additionally, the regression analysis results revealed that approximately 49% of the total variance of risk-taking behaviors of patients with substance dependence was predicted based on perceived social support components, emotional expression, and brain-behavioral systems (P<0.001). Conclusion In general, perceived social support from family and friends, negative emotional expression, and behavioral activation system can predict risk-taking behaviors in substance-dependent patients.

Urban Stress

Traditionally, intrapersonal characteristics (distress tolerance) and interpersonal characteristics (social support) have been studied separately rather than simultaneously. In the current study, we address this gap by simultaneously examining these characteristics as potential indirect associations linking established urban stress–depression and urban stress–Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) relationships. Adults experiencing homelessness were recruited from six homeless shelters in Oklahoma City (n = 567). Participants self-reported urban life stress (Urban Life Stress Scale), distress tolerance (Distress Tolerance Scale), social support (Interpersonal Support Evaluation List 12), major depressive disorder (Patient Health Questionnaire-8), and PTSD symptoms (Primary Care Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder screener). Covariate-adjusted structural equation models indicated a significant indirect effect of distress tolerance on the urban stress–depression (b = 0.101, 95% CI = 0.061, 0.147) and urban stress–PTSD (b = 0.065, 95% CI = 0.023, 0.112) relationships. Additionally, a significant indirect effect of social support on the urban stress–depression (b = 0.091, 95% CI = 0.053, 0.133) and urban stress-PTSD relationships (b = 0.043, 95% CI = 0.006, 0.082) was evident. Further, both the urban stress–depression (b = 0.022, 95% CI = 0.011, 0.037) and urban stress–PTSD relationships (b = 0.014, 95% CI = 0.005, 0.026) were associated indirectly through social support to distress tolerance. Interventions that aim to increase social support may also increase distress tolerance skills and indirectly reduce depressive and PTSD symptoms in the context of urban stress among adults experiencing homelessness.
