  • The long-term effects of war exposure on psychological health

    Open Access•Arzu Kibris, R Goodwin•ARTICLE•Social Science & Medicine•2024•Cited by: 2•References: 25

    The study of the effects of war exposure on the psychological health of combatants has so far been constrained by possible selection biases which limits the establishment of causality, the clear identification of dynamics, and the generalizability of findings. In this study, we make use of a population-level natural experiment enabled by the strict military conscription system in Turkey which uses a draft lottery to randomly allocate conscripts t…

    Open Access•R Goodwin, Yaira Hamama-Raz et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of Disaster…•2023

    The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine created major challenges for this country. As yet however few studies have examined perceptions of national resilience during a period of conflict. We collected online data from across Ukraine during April 2022 (N = 2000) assessing key demographics, national resilience, interpersonal trust, subjective trauma, income change, loss of relatives and coping with health risk. Findings suggested that national resilie…

  • The Ukraine–Russia war

    Yafit Levin, Menachem Ben‐ezra et al.•ARTICLE•Psychological Trauma Theory…•2023

    The results confirm the ICD-11 structure of CPTSD but suggest that continuous traumatic stress manifests in more condensed associations between CPTSD symptoms and that emotional regulation may play a vital role in activating the CPTSD network. War-exposed populations could be provided with scalable, brief self-help materials focused on fostering emotion regulation and an SoT. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)

  • Value stability and change during self-chosen life transitions

    Anat Bardi, Kathryn E Buchanan et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality and Social…•2014•Cited by: 32

    Three longitudinal studies examine a fundamental question regarding adjustment of personal values to self-chosen life transitions: Do values fit the new life setting already at its onset, implying value-based self-selection? Or do values change to better fit the appropriate and desirable values in the setting, implying value socialization? As people are likely to choose a life transition partly based on their values, their values may fit the new …

  • Representations of swine flu

    Open Access•R Goodwin, Shamsul Haque et al.•ARTICLE•Public Understanding of Science•2011

    Novel influenza viruses are seen, internationally, as posing considerable health challenges, but public responses to such viruses are often rooted in cultural representations of disease and risk. However, little research has been conducted in locations associated with the origin of a pandemic. We examined representations and risk perceptions associated with swine flu amongst 120 Malaysian pig farmers. Thirty-seven per cent of respondents felt at …

    Open Access•Malgorzata Kossowska, Mariusz Trejtowicz et al.•ARTICLE•British Journal of Psychology•2011•Cited by: 4•References: 43

    The present study tested the role of right-wing authoritarianism (RWA), terrorist threat, and sociopolitical 'climate' as predictors of support for governmental anti-terrorism policies and actions. Two dimensions of analysis were defined: the presence versus absence of al-Qaeda attacks, and adherence to surveillance versus anti-surveillance mainstream politics. In order to study the influence of these two contextual dimensions on the expression o…

    In a fast-changing world, what impact does social change have on our everyday relationships? How do modernisation processes influence our broader values, and how might these then affect our desires to marry, have a family and develop our social networks?

    Open Access•R Goodwin, Sonia Hernandez Plaza et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social and Personal…•2000•Cited by: 29•References: 28

    Previous cross-cultural research into social support has attributed national variations in observed support to assumed cultural variables, but has rarely measured these variables directly. Furthermore, this cross-cultural work has failed to differentiate between support from friends and from families, and between global perceptions of available support and the support received after an event. In this study, 140 respondents from UK (N = 72) and Sp…

However, research into the marital beliefs and practices of British South Asians has tended to conflate together different South Asian groups of different religious and geographical origins. This study focused on one large religious group originating from one region (Hindus from Gujarat) resident in one large British town, providing analyses drawn fr…

  • Perceived and Received Social Support in Two Cultures

    Open Access•R Goodwin, Sonia Hernandez Plaza et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social and Personal…•2000•Cited by: 29•References: 28

    Previous cross-cultural research into social support has attributed national variations in observed support to assumed cultural variables, but has rarely measured these variables directly. Furthermore, this cross-cultural work has failed to differentiate between support from friends and from families, and between global perceptions of available support and the support received after an event. In this study, 140 respondents from UK (N = 72) and Sp…

  • Loneliness and life satisfaction among three cultural groups

    Open Access•R Goodwin, Olivia Cook et al.•ARTICLE•Personal Relationships•2001

    Studies into loneliness and life satisfaction have rarely assessed the role of culture in moderating the relationship between these variables. The present study examined the relationship between loneliness and life satisfaction using data from three nonstudent samples collected from Italian, Anglo‐Canadian and Chinese‐Canadian populations. A total of 206 respondents completed the Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale (Russell, Peplau, & Cutrona, 1980) an…

  • Social support in a changing Europe

    Open Access•R Goodwin, George Nizharadze et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2001•Cited by: 4•References: 37

    Despite the continuing interest in social transitions among social scientists, there has been little analysis of the impact of societal change on personal relationships. One important factor in helping individuals deal with the stresses associated with rapid transitions is social support. In our first study, 450 manual workers, students and entrepreneurs in Russia, Georgia and Hungary completed structured questionnaires assessing demographic and …

  • Family-Related Allocentrism and HIV Risk Behavior in Central and Eastern Europe

    Open Access•Anu Realo, R Goodwin•ARTICLE•Journal of Cross-Cultural…•2003•Cited by: 1•References: 25

    The recent rapid spread of HIV infection in Eastern Europe raises important questions about the role of individual attitudes in the prediction and control of this epidemic. This article examines the relationship of family-related allocentrism (familism) to HIV risk behavior and perceived vulnerability to HIV/AIDS across five Central and Eastern European countries. Respondents completed questionnaires measuring allocentric attitudes, giving inform…

  • Social Support Provision And Cultural Values In Indonesia And Britain

    Open Access•R Goodwin, Sophie Gile et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Cross-Cultural…•2003•Cited by: 2•References: 13

    Previous cross-cultural research into social support has attributed national variations in social support to assumed cultural values but has rarely measured these values at an individual level. This study investigates the relationship between support offered and individualism among 186 government workers in Indonesia and the United Kingdom. Indonesian respondents were more willing to offer support to strangers than their British counterparts, but…

  • Social representations of HIV/Aids in five central European and eastern European countries

    R Goodwin, Anna Kwiatkowska et al.•ARTICLE•AIDS Care•2004

    Cognitive processing models of risky sexual behaviour have proliferated in the two decades since the first reporting of HIV/AIDS, but far less attention has been paid to individual and group representations of the epidemic and the relationship between these representations and reported sexual behaviours. In this study, 494 business people and medics from Estonia, Georgia, Hungary, Poland and Russia sorted free associations around HIV/AIDS in a ma…

  • Relationships beliefs and relationship quality across cultures

    Open Access•R Goodwin, O Gaine•ARTICLE•Personal Relationships•2004

    Research on the correlation between relationship beliefs and quality has rarely considered the impact of culture. In this study, 206 manual workers, students, and entrepreneurs from Georgia, Hungary, and Russia completed a modified Relationship Beliefs Inventory (Eidelson & Epstein, 1982, Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 50 , 715) and the Abbreviated Dyadic Adjustment Scale (Sharpley & Rogers, 1984, Educational and Psychological Mea…

  • Emotional arousal and negative affect in marital conflict

    Open Access•L L Verhofstadt, Ann Buysse et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2005•Cited by: 2•References: 24

    This report covers two studies that examined how spouses' emotional arousal and negative affect in response to marital conflict are shaped by gender, conflict structure, and demand-withdraw communication. In Study 1, 86 couples participated in a video analogue presentation procedure, and in Study 2, 32 couples participated in an observational methodology. In both studies, spouses' evaluative reports of their emotional arousal and negative affect …

  • Terror threat perception and its consequences in contemporary Britain

    Open Access•R Goodwin, Michelle Willson et al.•ARTICLE•British Journal of Psychology•2005•Cited by: 13•References: 36

    The terrorist attacks of 9/11, and subsequent terrorist acts around the world, have alerted social psychologists to the need to examine the antecedents and consequences of terrorist threat perception. In these two studies, we examined the predictive power of demographic factors (age, gender, location), individual values and normative influences on threat perception and the consequences of this perception for behavioural change and close relations…

  • The role of religion in human values

    Patrícia Costa, R Goodwin•ARTICLE•Journal of Beliefs and Values•2006

    By helping social norms to be internalized, values are indirectly sources of relationship behaviour. Likewise, cultural traditions, religion and language have different meanings that shape beliefs and influence social life. Thus, it seems important to revaluate the role of values in social life in a society which is extremely distinguishable in religious terms. An adaptation of Schwartz’s (1994a Schwartz, S. H. 1994a. “Studying human values”. In …
