Perceived Comfort and Competence of Southeast Nigerian Clergy in Responding to Suicidal Crises
Suicide remains a critical global mental health challenge, disproportionately affecting low- and middle-income countries where access to formal mental health services is limited. In such contexts, including sub-Saharan Africa, individuals in crisis often turn first to faith leaders. Clergy frequently encounter suicidal crises and serve as initial points of contact, yet there is little empirical evidence on their comfort or competence in respondin…
Social anxiety and internet addiction among adolescent students in a sub-Saharan African country
Evidence has shown that social anxiety significantly influences internet addiction among adolescent students. However, the boundary conditions that strengthen or weaken this association with internet addiction have not been fully understood, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. This study adopted a cross-sectional survey design to investigate the direct effect of social anxiety on internet addiction among adolescent students and the moderating role …
Maladaptive cognition and problematic Internet use among Nigerian adolescent students
This study examined the role of social anxiety in the association between maladaptive cognition and problematic internet use among Nigerian adolescent students. Participants were 509 adolescents from schools in South-East Nigeria (n = 509; male = 46.56%, female = 53.44%; mean age = 15.86 years; SD = 2.57 years). The participants completed measures of social anxiety (Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents), problematic internet use (Problematic Inte…
Post-traumatic growth mediates the relationship between valences of trauma centralisation and health-related quality of life
Emotions arising from health-related trauma can be complex (as positive and negative feelings are possible) and can influence the way patients perceive themselves and the world. Health outcomes can also be affected by the valence of emotions. We hypothesised that post-traumatic growth is the mediating link between the valences of event centrality and health-related quality of life among people living with HIV. Three hundred (male = 194 and female…
Working for the future
BACKGROUND: The dominant view based on the deficit model of developmental psychopathology is that early adverse rearing impairs cognition. In contrast, an emerging evolutionary-developmental model argues that individuals exposed to early-life stress may have improved cognitive abilities that are adapted to harsh environments. We set out to test this hypothesis by examining cognitive functions in parentally deprived children in Nigeria. METHODS: C…
Substance abuse and media violence exposure as factors in acceptance of dating violence among in-school adolescents
Adolescents’ dating violence is a public health concern due to its damaging consequences on the wellbeing of individuals involved and the possible risk of progression into adulthood. Previous studies have established links between substance use and exposure to media violence on adolescents’ dating violence, but little is known about the dispositions of adolescents toward the act, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. The present study examined the co…
