Depression in South Asian Women Living in the UK
Research has shown that South Asian people in the UK underutilize health services compared with White people. Also, where services are accessed, they may not adequately meet cultural and religious needs. In exploring the relationship between the cultural and religious beliefs of South Asian service users about perceptions, beliefs about aetiology, cause and treatment of mental illness, past studies have illustrated a wide range of expectations, e…
Depression in South Asian women
A qualitative, grounded theory approach within a constructivist paradigm is employed to explore perceptions of causes and cures of depression in South Asian women. Ten Asian women suffering from depression and three of their carers were interviewed about their beliefs around the cause of their own and their relative's depression, and the implications of these beliefs for treatment. Findings suggested that understanding their experience of conflic…
Factors Influencing Successful Submission of PhD Theses
This article examines the submission rates of 3579 postgraduate research students who studied for the traditional PhD degree at a single large civic university between 1984 and 1993. An examination is made of individual factors which may have an effect on students' rate of completion, attempting to identify characteristics of the student 'most likely to succeed'. The analysis excludes intrinsic student characteristics and institutional conditions…
The Social Functioning Scale the Development and Validation of a New Scale of Social Adjustment for use in Family Intervention Programmes with Schizophrenic Patients
Social functioning as an outcome variable in family interventions with schizophrenic patients has been a relatively neglected area. The requirements of a scale of social functioning to measure the efficacy of family interventions include: the measurement of skill/behaviour relevant to the impairments and the demography of this group; the ability to yield considerable information with an economy of clinical time; and the establishment of ‘comparat…
The Process of Assimilation in Asians in Britain
The acquisition of /r/ and /l/ by Japanese children and adults learning English as a second language
In Experiment I, 54 native Japanese children (ages 3–12) and 24 Japanese adults residing in the USA were required to produce and discriminate the English /r/ and /l/ in a variety of speaking and listening tasks. Children's /r/ and /l/ speaking performances were found to be significantly better than adults’. Three factors ‐ age, sociolinguistic factors, and linguistic factors ‐ emerged as significant predictors of the Japanese children's /r/ and /…
Phonological Learning By Children and Adults in a Laboratory Setting
Adults and 7-year-old children were compared in their ability to acquire new speech sound patterns under conditions of equal exposure. Thirty-two non-Spanish speaking subjects imitated Spanish words that had been recorded by a native speaker of Spanish, and read other words designed to assess their knowledge of Spanish stress patterns. Performance of the children in imitating the Spanish words excelled that of adults. No differences were found in…
The Role of Interviews in Choice of University by Psychology Undergraduates
S ummary . Undergraduate applicants for a university degree course in psychology received conditional offers of places having undergone one of four different introductions to the department ranging from a group open day to a stressful individual interview with two admissions tutors. The prediction that as interviews became more stressful so the acceptance rate of conditional offers would increase was not confirmed. Instead, evidence suggested tha…
