Psychological studies are based on scientific study of behavior and mental process while human psychological discomforts are known as the mental health problem, which exist in every age, culture and society. Emotional response patterns consist of behaviors that deal with particular situations and physiological responses (both autonomic and hormonal) that support the behaviors (Neil & Buskist: 1997). This study on adolescent’s emotional distress and psychological discomforts in Balochistan is carried out with the objective to set guidance for management of emotional distress condition and to determine the depressive symptoms among youth in Balochistan. Data for the study was collected from 60 adolescents of Balochistan through selective sampling techniques while Abraham Hick’s emotional guidance scale with 22 items and a self-designed questionnaire with 22 similar statements were applied. The study was conducted in two phases described as A and B. Phase-A was without guidance scale while Phase-B was conducted with emotional guidance scale. Results of the study suggest that effect of guidance transform the emotions to management side, which is appropriate for preventing and coping depressive state and other mental and behavioral distress.

Psychological factors related to sport concussion have been overshadowed by interests in neurocognitive recovery. This chapter begins by examining psychological factors relevant to research and management of sport concussion in the context of a culture where normalizing pain and injury is routine. Among the key components of this chapter is a discussion of emotional disturbance following concussion characterized as the “concussion crevice,” which is represented by high fatigue, low vigor, elevated depression and confusion scores, and high overall emotional distress. This differs from pre-injury “iceberg” profiles of high energy, and low depression, fatigue, and confusion, which is characteristic of mentally healthy athletes. Acute emotional response to concussion is distinguished from response to musculoskeletal injury, mirrors neurocognitive recovery, and appears to correspond with the dynamic neurometabolic restoration pattern described in the literature. Directions for future research are recommended.

Using protection motivation theory as the theoretical framework, this study investigates the factors that motivate COVID-19 response in Ghana, Cameroon, Lesotho and Uganda. Through simple random and snowball sampling techniques, 651 participants were selected. The study collected data with the aid of a survey questionnaire, which was analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics. Results show high perceived COVID-19 threats among the respondents. Consequently, response strategies, such as wearing of nose mask, hand sanitizer application and social distancing, which are perceived to be effective, have been adopted. It is evident that respondents’ demographics influence their COVID-19 threats and coping strategies. Nevertheless, the severity of COVID-19 impacts ( p = .00), efficacy of response strategies ( p = .00) and access to COVID-19 information ( p = .02) were the significant predictors of COVID-19 response, even though the efficacy of COVID-19 response strategies (beta = .55) emerged as the best predictor. It is imperative for African governments to prioritize COVID-19 education to control the spread of the pandemic and minimize its impact.
