Psychosocial aspects of infertility and new reproductive technologies
Psychological state and psychological strain in relation to infertility
The purpose of the study was to explore the relationship between psychological state and perceived strain in relation to fertility problems. Couples presenting at an infertility clinic completed, on two occasions seven months apart, a series of standardized measures to assess psychopathology. In addition, they completed a weekly diary rating their mood state or distress/strain over a period of 22 weeks, during which investigations and treatment w…
The meaning of parenthood and couples' reactions to male infertility
This paper reports findings from a postal survey of 205 couples belonging to the National Association for the Childless who saw their infertility as due to the male partner. Two self‐report scales used in previous studies were administered to measure personal and social identity needs as a basis for parenthood (the Meaning of Parenthood scale), and emotional distress and marital problems. Endorsement of items on the Meaning of Parenthood (MOP) sc…

Coping with Embarrassment and Chronic Blushing
Self-Reported Expression of Embarrassment in Five European Cultures
Self-report data on the physiological/behavioral response associated with embarrassment were collected by questionnaire in Greece, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and West Germany. Blushing/increased temperature and smiling/grinning were reported consistently across nations, although blushing, as indexed by temperature change, was reported with twice the frequency in the U.K. sample as in the other European samples; gaze aversion and face touch…
Noise in society: A public health problem?
Noise pollution is an ever-increasing problem in modern technological society. It is well documented that repeated exposure to even moderate levels of noise can be injurious to health, but often unappreciated are the more pervasive physiological and psychological effects. This review examines the questions of noise pollution and its effects on mental health, and its relation to chronic sleep disorders and to cardiovascular problems. Although cont…
Self-reported verbal and non-verbal strategies for coping with embarrassment in five European cultures
Adaptive training for existing male transsexual gender role: A case history
ng anatomlc sex. Until the 1970s, sex reassignment surgery was regarded as the main hope for transsexuals. Early behavioral interventions using aversion therapy proved unsuccessful (Gelder & Marks, 1969). More recently, however, Barlow and his colleagues have reported the successful use of behavioral procedures to change the gender identity of three adult transsexuals (Barlow, Reynolds, Agras, & Jackson, 1973; Barlow, Abel, & Blanchard, 1979). Re…
Psychological aspects of infertility
It has often been claimed that psychological problems accompany infertility among some couples attending infertility clinics. Some authors have suggested that psychological factors may be a primary cause of infertility, others have suggested that the state of infertility itself can provoke psychological symptoms. The importance of psychological counselling for involuntarily childless couples has also been noted. This paper, which reviews studies …
Social Embarrassment: An Analysis of the Process
In recent years the phenomenon of embarrassment has attracted an increasing research interest. As a result, there have been a number of attempts to conceptualize the underlying process. Although these tend to emphasize similar aspects of the phenomenon (social transgressions, negative public image, heightened self-attention), there are a number of gaps in our knowledge of the process involved. This paper reviews previous models of embarrassment a…
Disablement and Helping
This study investigated the effect of apparent disablement and sex differences on helping behaviour. Women received more help than men but the presence of a wheelchair did not decrease the amount of help offered. It is suggested that the presence of a wheelchair may cause less embarrassment to the help-giver than other more disfiguring handicaps
Embarrassment in Dyadic Interaction
The effect of embarrassment upon dyadic interaction was studied in a semi-naturalistic setting. Subject pairs participated in an alternating question and answer session at one of two interactional distances (1 or 2 in), utilizing questions which increased in their intimacy content. A control group who had only non-intimate questions was also investigated. It was found that topic intimacy, but not interactional distance affected the embarrassment …
