71	Effects of osteopathic treatment on people with psoriatic arthritis: a pilot study Wall, Rebecca, Ryan, Edwina, Kiatos, Jim Unknown Date (has links) (PDF) Background and objectives: People with psoriatic arthritis seek complementary medical treatment, such as osteopathy, as a sole form of treatment, or as a complement to conventional treatment. The aim of this case series design was to determine the effects of osteopathic treatment on the symptoms, and health related quality of life (HRQOL) in people with psoriatic arthritis. The results demonstrate that osteopathic treatments are capable of producing symptomatic relief and improvements in HRQOL. The limited number of participants in the study limits generalization of the findings, but gives impetus to further research in this area. This minor thesis was written by post-graduate students as part of the requirements of the Master of Health Science (Osteopathy) program. 320000 Medical and Health Sciences School of Sport and Exercise Science
72	Bibliometrisk kartläggning av det idrottspsykologiska fältet / Mapping the field of sport and exercise psychology : A bibliometric study Lindahl, Jonas January 2011 (has links) Objectives: The aim in this thesis has been to generate information relevant for strategic positioning and future evaluations within the scientific field of sport and exercise psychology. This has been done by request, and in collaboration with The Group of Sport and Exercise Psychology at the Institution of Psychology at the University of Umeå. Research questions: (1) How does the cognitive structure within the field of sport and exercise psychology take shape with respect to research topics in current sport-psychological research, i.e. the research front? (2) How does the social structure within the field of sport and exercise psychology take shape with respect to formal scientific collaboration? Data: 879 articles published between 2008-2011 were used in this study. The population of articles were collected from a set of 5 core journals: International Journal of Sport Psychology, Journal of Applied Sport Psychology, Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology, The Sport Psychologist, Psychology of Sport and Exercise. The original set was expanded by collecting relevant sport psychology articles from Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports and Journal of Sports Sciences. Methods: (1) The bibliometric indicator normalized bibliographic coupling combined with hierarchical agglomerative cluster analysis was used for mapping the research front. With this approach articles are basically clustered with respect to shared refererences, which in this context is understood as a measure of topical similarity. (2) For the mapping of social structures a collaboration analysis was performed by extracting and visualizing social networks based on the bibliometric indicator coauthorship. Results: (1) Identification and classification of 80 clusters based on topical similarity in collaboration with a subject expert. (2) Providing a map of formal scientific collaborations between countries based on coauthorship. (3) Providing a map of social networks based on coauthorships between individual researchers. (4) Identification and contextualization of central researchers based on production within the visualized coauthor network. The publications of each researcher were traced to corresponding clusters in the research front to gain information about in which subject areas and topics these central researchers publish. (5) Identification of research groups with high coauthor values, i.e. high intensity in their formal collaboration. Furthermore the publications from these groups were connected to corresponding clusters, i.e. giving information about in which subject areas and topics these groups publish. bibliometrics scientometrics science mapping sport ande exercise psychology research front bibliographic coupling co-authorship bibliometri scientometri idrottspsykologi forskningsfront bibliografisk koppling samförfattarskap
73	YOGA THROUGH A SYSTEMIC LENS: THE IMPACT OF YOGA PRACTICE ON SELF-COMPASSION, COUPLE SATISFACTION, AND FAMILY FUNCTIONING Gabriella H Boeger (8740644) 24 April 2020 (has links) <div> <div> <div> <p>The current study examines the relationships between frequency of yoga practice and outcomes of self-compassion, couple satisfaction, and family functioning. Yoga and other forms of Eastern medicine have become increasingly popular in Western culture. Not only has yoga become more appealing to the general population, it has also become more widely accepted and has been more frequently integrated into various mental health treatments. Using a cross-sectional design, this study analyzed data from an online questionnaire regarding systemic outcomes of yoga participants (N = 115). A three-step hierarchical regression analysis was completed to test significance between predictor and outcome variables. The results showed a significant relationship between social reason for practicing yoga and family functioning. This study indicates that families who practice yoga together may have healthier family functioning. The results highlight the potential of yoga as a therapeutic intervention for clinicians working with families.<br> </p> </div> </div> </div> Mental Health Clinical Psychology Sport and Exercise Psychology Family and Household Studies yoga family systems theory biopsychosocial-spiritual self-compassion relationship satisfaction family functioning
74	The gender straightjacket: a qualitative investigation of a group of South African adolescent males' cognitive schemata for masculinity and gender roles Bantjes, Jason Robert 30 November 2004 (has links) A surge of "masculinity in crisis" discourse suggests that men are primarily responsible for lawlessness, social mayhem, violence and other forms of psycho- and socio-pathology. This crisis is attributed, in part, to hegemonic models of masculinity which restrict men to certain modes of behaviour and specific roles in society. This study investigates the content of a group of South African adolescent males' cognitive schemata for masculinity and gender roles. A qualitative mode of enquiry was used to identify the beliefs held by participants about manhood and gender roles. The findings of this study affirm that a hegemonic model of masculinity exists is the sub-culture of South African society represented by the participants and suggests that hegemonic masculinity in South African is both restrictive and damaging to men and society. / Psychology / M.
