151	An investigation into the impact of childhood abuse and care-giver invalidation on psychological inflexibility in clinical and subclinical eating disorders Tucknott, Maria January 2014 (has links) As a whole, eating disorders have been characterised as having the following key features: a persistent over concern with body size and shape; and weight control behaviours such as fasting, exercise, and self-induced vomiting. However, there tends to be a blurred line between those that do and do not meet diagnostic thresholds as the level of psychological distress is comparably similar. This study examined whether psychological inflexibility (from an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy perspective) was associated with eating disorders and whether it mediated the relationship between childhood abuse and invalidation and eating disorders. This was considered to be important because high rates of abuse have consistently been found in this population, yet not everyone goes on to develop an eating disorder. In addition, the role of emotional abuse has been largely neglected. A clinical sample of 190 participants with a clinical or subclinical eating disorder were recruited from eating disorder charities and support forums; they completed a range of questionnaires measuring experiences of abuse and maternal/paternal emotional invalidation in childhood, current levels of cognitive fusion and experiential avoidance and current levels of eating pathology. The sample was split into three groups based on their Eating Disorder Risk Composite scores: elevated, typical and low clinical range. It was found that those in the elevated clinical range (most severe eating pathology) had the poorest emotional processing and significantly higher levels of psychological inflexibility, thought-shape-fusion, depression and anxiety than those in the low clinical range (least severe eating pathology). In terms of predicting current levels of eating pathology, three variables emerged as significant predictors: emotional processing, thought-shape fusion and depression. In terms of predicting current levels of psychological inflexibility, five variables emerged as significant predictors: childhood emotional abuse, emotional processing, thought-shape-fusion, depression and anxiety. The results add novel findings to the literature regarding the role of early experiences on the development of psychological inflexibility, and the role of psychological inflexibility in the maintenance of eating pathology and psychological distress. Clinical implications of these findings in relation to assessment, formulation, intervention and prevention are discussed. 616.85
152	"Psychological fallout" : the effects of nuclear radiation exposure : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Clinical Psychology at Massey University Jourdain, Rebekah Leigh January 2009 (has links) Appendices were not supplied with the digital version of the thesis but are available in the print version. / The present research includes two studies. Study I was based on the research finding that exposure to nuclear radiation and other toxic chemicals results in those who were exposed not only believing their health to be affected, but experiencing significant and chronic stress. It was hypothesised that ongoing stress for New Zealand’s nuclear test veterans resulting from the inability to adapt to their past nuclear exposure would result in them experiencing greater depressive symptomatology, poorer perceived health, and poorer perceived memory performance than a control group. Psychological profiles of 50 nuclear test veterans and 50 age-matched Control participants were obtained through postal survey and face-to-face interview, using the Geriatric Depression Scale, Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36, and the Memory Assessment Clinics Self-Rating Scale. As predicted, the nuclear veterans exhibited more depressive symptoms, and perceived their health and memory performance to be poorer than the Control group. A stress theory framework is applied to help conceptualise the experience of the nuclear veterans, and to provide an explanation for their lower scores and consequent poorer functioning. Through the pathway of poor perceived health leading to anxiety, health anxiety was considered a form of chronic stress the nuclear veterans were experiencing. Consequently, Study II aimed to examine whether Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) could be usefully applied to relieve this anxiety. Most psychotherapeutic approaches have been developed for problems that have an "irrational" or "pathological" foundation. However, these approaches often fit poorly with psychological distress that stems from cognitions that are reality-based and may need to be accepted rather than changed, such as in the case of nuclear exposure-related health anxiety. ACT may be particularly useful in these situations in which cognitive change is not warranted. Study II examined the use of ACT with 5 NZ nuclear test veterans (of either Māori or Pākehā descent) experiencing moderate to high levels of health anxiety. Results of self-report measures administered at baseline, during treatment, post-treatment, and at 6-week follow-up indicated varying results amongst these men. One participant showed clinically significant post-treatment reductions in health anxiety, experiential avoidance, and general psychological distress that were maintained at follow-up. Two participants showed clinically significant post- vi treatment reductions in health anxiety, experiential avoidance, and distress, despite not engaging in therapy as they did not wish to make changes. For the same reason, a fourth participant chose not to engage in therapy, despite high baseline scores on all measures, and showed no improvement during or after therapy. The fifth participant had low baseline scores on all measures, maintaining these throughout therapy, and at follow-up. Results are explained in terms of cohort and gender effects, with suggestions for adapting ACT with NZ older adults, particularly males. Implications for the utility of ACT with toxic exposure populations, older adults, and various cultures are discussed.

154	The Effects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy on Emotional Capital Development of the Freshmen Students / Les effets de la thérapie d’acceptation et de l’engagement sur le développement du capital émotionnel des étudiants en première année d’université Haenjohn, Juthamas 30 September 2011 (has links) L’objectif de cette recherche était de tester les effets de la thérapie de l’acceptation et de l’engagement (ACT) sur les étudiants en première année de la Faculté d’ Éducation, Burapha Université, Thaïlande, en développant un programme de développement des compétences émotionnelles grâce à la pleine conscience et de l’accompagnement et du conseil (MBECC) adressé aux participants. 130 d’étudiants de première année ont passé le test Thaï d’ Intelligence Émotionnelle et le test d’échelle d’évaluation de la pleine conscience (MAAS test). 18 étudiants ont été sélectionnés et répartis en 3 groupes: le Marathon MBECC, le Bref MBECC et un groupe de contrôle via une procédure d'échantillonnage aléatoire simple. Le protocole de recherche a suivi un protocole expérimental de recherche avec pré test, post- test et test de suivi, un mois après les interventions et leurs comparaisons respectives avec un groupe de contrôle. Les données ont été statistiquement analysées en utilisant une analyse multivariée des variances (procédure MANOVA). Les résultats de recherche démontrent que le programme Marathon MBECC et le programme Bref MBECC ont amélioré les scores moyens en capital émotionnel à la phase post-test et de suivi (significatif : p < .05) plus que le groupe de contrôle au post-test et de suivi. Les programmes Marathon et Bref ont amélioré les scores moyens en KE du groupe expérimental sans différence significative entre les 2 groupes, à la phase post-test et suivi. Finalement, les scores moyens et le niveau d’évaluation de la pleine conscience n'ont pas significativement affecté les scores moyens des étudiants en KE. / The purpose of this study was to study the effects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) on emotional capital (EK) of the freshmen students of the Faculty of Education, Burapha University, Thailand, by using the Mindfulness Based Emotional Competencies Counseling (MBECC) program. 130 freshmen students completed the Thai Emotional Intelligence Screening Test (Thai-EI) and the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). Then, 18 freshmen students were divided into 3 groups: the Marathon MBECC, the Brief MBECC, and the control group by simple random sampling according to the score of Thai-EI and MAAS. The research design was a pretest–posttest control group design, including follow-up testing after 1 month. The data were statistically analyzed by utilizing a multivariate repeated measures analysis of variance. The research results demonstrated that the Marathon MBECC and the Brief MBEC enhanced the sample’s EK scores at the post-test and follow-up phase significantly (p < .05) more than the control group’s mean scores. The Marathon MBECC and the Brief MBECC increased the mean scores on EK of the experimental group with no significant differences between the 2 groups, at the post-test and follow-up phase. Finally, the scores on level of dispositional mindfulness did not significantly affect the students’ scores on EK.

Järpeskog, Timo M. January 2018 (has links) Denna masteruppsats diskuterar naturens läkande effekt på människan genom att analysera nuvarande forskningsläge i både svenskt och internationellt perspektiv. Analysen förstås genom en teoretisk modell som baserar sig på ekologisk perceptionsfenomenologi, hyperrealitet och relationsinramning. Uppsatsens slutsats är att naturens läkande effekt kan förklaras med en perceptiv relation mellan människan och den mer-än-mänskliga världen, men också, att mer forskning behövs. / This master thesis discusses the healing properties of nature on the human being through an analysis of current Swedish and international research. The analysis is made by using a theoretical model based on ecological perception phenomenology, hyperreality and relational frame theory. The conclusion of the thesis is that the healing properties of nature may be explained by the perceptive relation between the human being and the more-than-human world, but also that more research is needed.

160	You get what you play for : A multiple-baseline experimental design on child-directed play for parents of autistic children Andreasson, Filippa, D'Angelo Gentile, Axel January 2020 (has links) Parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) face many challenges which lead to low levels of psychological well-being, partly caused by inability to parent in accordance with one’s values. Child-directed play, a moment of being fully attentive and responsive to one’s child, has the potential to increase parental values. A non-concurrent multiple-baseline experimental design investigated whether daily exercises of child-directed play improved valued parenting and parental perspective-taking. Eight parents of children with diagnosed or suspected ASD were followed daily for six weeks. The intervention comprehended daily practice of child-directed play and video supervision. Child-directed play increased ratings of parental values for all but one participant (Hedges’ g* = 1.67) with effect maintained at follow-up, and increased ratings of parental perspective-taking. A gradual effect indicates the need for greater difference in baseline length between participants. No effects on children, nor on parental well-being were investigated in the present study.
