Social contact with Covid-19 as a factor influencing corona anxiety in India
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is probably the worst in history, in terms of its impact on mental health. In this context, a number of possible moderators of mental health have been studied, but research on whether direct social contact with COVID-19 influences what has been referred to as “corona anxiety” is largely absent, especially in developing countries. This study attempted to examine the impact of demographics, risk percepti…
Cardiovascular Stress Reactivity and Health
OBJECTIVE: High cardiovascular reactions to psychological stress are associated with the development of hypertension, systemic atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular disease. However, it has become apparent that low biological stress reactivity also may have serious consequences for health, although less is known about the mechanisms of this. The objectives of this narrative review and opinion article are to summarize and consider where we are now i…
Monitoring treatment harm in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome
The use of graded exercise therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy for myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome has attracted considerable controversy. This controversy relates not only to the disputed evidence for treatment efficacy but also to widespread reports from patients that graded exercise therapy, in particular, has caused them harm. We surveyed the National Health Service-affiliated myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue…
Defying the IRA
This book examines the grass-roots relationship between the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and the civilian population during the Irish Revolution. It is primarily concerned with the attempts of the militant revolutionaries to discourage, stifle, and punish dissent among the local populations in which they operated, and the actions or inactions by which dissent was expressed or implied. Focusing on the period of guerilla war against British rule fro…
A Taxometric Analysis of Type-D Personality
OBJECTIVE: To test the dimensionality of Type-D personality, using taxometric procedures, to assess if Type-D personality is taxonic or dimensional. Type-D personality is treated as a categorical variable and caseness has been shown to be a risk factor for poor prognosis in coronary heart disease. However, at present, there is no direct evidence to support the assumption that Type D is categorical and able to differentiate true cases from noncase…
Access to Social Support in Life and in the Laboratory
Social support is associated with lower cardiovascular disease risk. We examined the effects of perceived network support and availability of functional support in the laboratory on blood pressure and heart rate (HR) reactivity to acute stress. When functional support was available, participants with low perceived network support had significantly lower HR reactivity than participants with high perceived network support ( p = .04). Conversely, wh…
Social Support at University Scale, a Brief Index
A brief, 3-item index of social support among college students, the Social Support at University Scale, is introduced. Its psychometric properties are examined in a sample of 90 college students (51 women, 39 men) and compared with those of an equivalent scale distributed among 100 university staff (67 women, 33 men). The Short-Form Social Support Questionnaire, the Perceived Stress Scale, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were also a…

Birth Order and Locus of Control Revisited
Rotter's Locus of Control scale was administered to 64 first-born and 157 other undergraduate students, and data on the sex of participants' siblings were also obtained. The sex of participants' siblings was significantly correlated with locus of control among first-borns but not among other participants

Javier Torres Ribelles
