Emotional Risks to Respondents in Survey Research
Some survey research has documented distress in respondents with pre-existing emotional vulnerabilities, suggesting the possibility of harm. In this study, respondents were interviewed about a personally distressing event; mood, stress, and emotional reactions were assessed. Two days later, respondents participated in interventions to either enhance or alleviate the effects of the initial interview. Results indicated that distressing interviews i…
Pain, Coping and Health Care Utilization in Younger and Older Adults with Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle cell disease is characterized by acute pain crises. Pain, chronic medical problems, utilization and coping were compared in younger vs older patients using questionnaires and medical record review. Groups reported similar pain intensity and medical conditions. The pattern of utilization differed such that older patients attended outpatient clinic, and younger patients went to the Emergency Department. Younger patients were more likely to c…
Psychological and Social Risks of Behavioral Research
Risks to human subjects associated with participation in research are an important consideration in the design of studies and in the informed consent process. Yet, there are significant gaps in our knowledge about the psychological and social risks of behavioral research. Our review of federal regulations governing research with humans and empirical work pertaining to behavioral research risks shows that we have little data on the frequency of sp…
Malingering Dissociative Identity Disorder
Verification of dissociative identity disorder presents challenges given the complex nature of the illness. This study addressed the concern that this disorder can be successfully malingered on objective and projective psychological tests. 50 undergraduate women were assigned to a Malingering or a Control condition, then completed the Rorschach Inkblot Test and the Dissociative Experiences Scale II. The Malingering group were asked to simulate di…
Adjustment to the Death of a Companion Animal
As pets provide many important benefits of a psychological, social, and physiological nature, loss of a companion animal can be a devastating event. The adjustment process, although similar to that experienced when a human dies, may be hindered by a lack of social support and opportunities for healthy confiding in others. In the current study, 49 adults completed questionnaires assessing grief experience, mood, physical symptoms, and new pet acqu…
Mood following emotional crying
Emotional Coping, Age, and Physical Disorder
Traditional ideas suggest that emotional expression is healthy, but empirical support for this position is mixed. Adult subjects participated in a telephone interview to examine the relationships among age, emotional coping (ie, laughter and crying), physical disorder, sex, and income level. Results indicated that cry-coping in women and in low-income participants was associated with increased disorder as age increased. Humor-coping had no relati…
The Physiological and Psychological Effects of the Expression and Inhibition of Emotion
Previous work has indicated that humor enhances immunity, but the immunological effects of overt crying have not been studied. Thirty-nine women viewed sad and humorous videotapes and either inhibited or expressed overt expressions of laughter and weeping; these were observed and timed. Moods and immunity (S-IgA) were repeatedly measured. The humorous stimulus resulted in improved immunity, regardless of the overt laughter expressed; overt crying…
