Anticipating posttraumatic growth from cancer: a patient and collateral perspective

Tallman, Benjamin Ashley 01 July 2011 (has links)
Research suggests that individuals experience Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) from chronic health conditions, such as the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. How PTG is perceived at early time points following stressful events and whether PTG reflects a coping process or actual outcome remains uncertain. Researchers have implemented research methodologies to validate reports of PTG (e.g., corroboration by partners/significant others), although most research designs are cross-sectional, which limit conclusions and subsequent implications. The current longitudinal study examined cancer patients` and significant others` perceptions of Anticipated Posttraumatic Growth (APTG), dispositional and situational coping, and PTG at three time points spanning pre-treatment to 9 months later. Participants consisted of 87 mixed-cancer patients and 55 collaterals (e.g., spouses, family members, friends, or other community members). At pre-treatment, patients and collaterals completed a modified Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) to assess APTG. Collaterals also completed a modified PTGI for patients. Results revealed that patients and collaterals reported high levels of APTG for themselves compared to reports of PTG in the literature. Patients` APTG was significantly higher than collaterals` APTG, although patients and collaterals experienced similar levels of PTG. Overall, patients over-anticipated PTG for all growth scales, and with the exception of the PTG scale of new possibilities, collaterals under-anticipated the level of growth they reported. For corroboration of growth, collaterals were accurate in anticipating the amount of PTG patients would experience, with the exception of the PTG scale of new possibilities. For patients, dispositional planning coping moderated a relationship between PTG and APTG, and situational planning coping mediated a relationship between APTG and PTG. Results of the current study provide evidence for APTG as a possible illusory phenomena, a coping process, and animportant precursor for later PTG. Additionally, the results have important considerations for the impact of cancer on the family and for growth as an observable construct. The findings are discussed in terms of relevant theory and implications for clinicians.

La perception de soi au cours du vieillissement : approche normale et pathologique à travers l'étude de la chute / Self-perception during elderly

Noel, Myriam 11 September 2012 (has links)
Le vieillissement amoindri de façon régulière les capacités physiques, sensorielles et parfois cognitives des individus. Le vieillissement du corps transforme également l'image offerte à autrui et à soi-même. La perception que la personne âgée a alors d’elle-même est une question qui n’est pas sans conséquence. La perception réaliste de ses capacités physiques semble nécessaire dans la réalisation d’actes moteurs alors que la perception optimiste de soi et de l’environnement semble nécessaire au maintien du moral. Notre objectif est d’étudier de façon relativement globale la perception de soi chez la personne âgée. Pour cela, nous étudions les perceptions qu’ont les personnes âgées a de leurs propres capacités dans la réalisation d’actes moteurs (posturabilité sur pente, enjambement d’obstacle), la perception qu’elles ont d’elles-mêmes par la réalisation de questionnaires d’auto-évaluation, en particulier la perception qu’elles ont de leur âge. Nous examinons également les perceptions qu’elles ont d’autrui, en particulier celles qu’elles ont d’autres personnes âgées. L’objectif est d’étudier les impacts positifs et négatifs sur leur santé des perceptions correctes ou erronées des séniors. Nos deux premières études ont mis en évidence l’existence d’un biais de surestimation de capacités posturales chez les participants âgés, qui pourrait être en lien avec une vision positive d’eux-mêmes. Ensuite nos recherches de sont intéressées à l’existence de cette surestimation des capacités motrices chez les personnes âgées présentant une détérioration cognitive (Maladie d’Alzheimer à un stade débutant). Dans une seconde partie, nos recherches se sont tournées vers l’estimation que les personnes âgées ont d’elles mêmes, en étudiant en particulier l’auto-estimation et l’hétéro-estimation de l’âge. Nos études ont montré que les personnes âgées adoptaient en général une vision optimiste d’elles-mêmes et de leurs capacités motrices ne correspondant pas à la réalité. Cette vision optimiste, bien que permettant de maintenir un bon moral peut être liée à la mise en danger sur le plan moteur. / Elderly steadily diminished physical, sensory and sometimes cognitive individuals abilities. The aging body also converts the image presented to others and to oneself. The perception that the elderly person then herself is a question which is not inconsequential. Realistic perception of physical seems necessary in motor actions while the optimistic perception of self and the environment seems necessary to maintain morale.Our goal is to study a relatively comprehensive self-perception in the elderly. For this, we study the perceptions of older people has their own abilities in performing motor acts (posturability on slope, crossing over an obstacle), their perceptions of themselves by achieving of self-assessment questionnaires, particularly their perceptions of their age. We also examine the perceptions they have of others, especially those that have other seniors. The objective is to study the positive and negative impacts on their health perceptions of older correct or incorrect. Our first two studies showed the existence of a bias of overestimating postural abilities among older participants, which could be related to a positive vision of themselves. Then our research is concerned with the existence of this overestimation of motor skills in older people with cognitive impairment (Alzheimer's disease at a beginning stage). In the second part, our research turned to the estimate that seniors have of themselves, especially in student self-assessment and hetero-age estimation.Our studies showed that older people usually adopted an optimistic view of themselves and their motor skills do not match reality. This optimistic view, although to maintain morale may be related to the endangerment on the motor.

品牌關係:顧客價值與品牌愛慕 / Brand relationship: customer value and brand love

沈經洪, Shen, Ching Hung Unknown Date (has links)
本研究分別從理性層面與感性層面探討品牌愛慕對品牌關係的影響,前者由品牌愛慕與顧客滿意在顧客品牌關係架構中扮演的角色切入,探討如何藉由功能、體驗與象徵價值增進品牌愛慕與顧客滿意,以及品牌愛慕與顧客滿意對依賴與行為忠誠的相對影響。後者探討人際關係中的正向幻覺(情人眼裡出西施)現象是否也會出現在品牌關係,藉由驗證品牌愛慕者對品牌評價的理想化,說明品牌愛慕的感性影響機制。 研究一透過質化研究發掘維繫品牌關係的關鍵,兩階段研究共訪談27位受訪者,分析結果發現要讓消費者忠於品牌,光靠顧客滿意是不夠的,還要讓消費者對品牌產生愛慕,方能維繫品牌關係。研究二藉由量化研究驗證品牌愛慕與品牌關係的關聯性,藉由調查法蒐集北、中、南三所大學共130位學生對誠品書店的消費經驗,實證結果顯示:(1)品牌愛慕是功能與象徵價值對依賴與行為忠誠的完全中介變數,顧客滿意則是體驗價值對行為忠誠的完全中介變數。(2)品牌愛慕取代顧客滿意成為影響依賴與行為忠誠的主要變數。(3)功能與象徵價值對品牌愛慕有顯著的正向影響,體驗價值則對顧客滿意有顯著的正向影響。研究三以實驗法操弄品牌愛慕與行銷刺激,探究其對智慧型手機品牌評價的影響,以大學生為受測對象,得到315份完整樣本,研究發現:(1)過去研究認為正向幻覺僅存在於人際關係中,本研究發現正向幻覺可適用於顧客品牌關係。(2)相較於低品牌愛慕者,高品牌愛慕者對品牌的評價存在理想化的現象。(3)高品牌愛慕者會放大正向事件的認知重要性與頻率,並淡化負向事件的頻率。最後,參考研究結論提出品牌管理的研究與管理意涵及未來研究方向。
