Mistaking imagination for reality
Visual experiences can be triggered externally, by signals coming from the outside world during perception; or internally, by signals from memory during mental imagery. Imagery and perception activate similar neural codes in sensory areas, suggesting that they might sometimes be confused. In the current study, we investigated whether imagery influences perception by instructing participants to imagine gratings while externally detecting these sam…
Farmer Burnout in Canada
While farmers in several countries worldwide are reported to be at higher risk for poor mental health outcomes like chronic stress, depression, and anxiety, there is a paucity of research on burnout in farmers. This cross-sectional study used an online survey administered between September 2015 and February 2016 to investigate burnout (as measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS)) amongst farmers in Canada. The specific ob…
A Call to the Field
While complicated grief has been addressed in part through some recommendations for modifications in the upcoming fifth version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), there remain reasons for substantial concern about its scope therein and within clinical practice. The authors issue a call to the field, reiterating that complicated grief is complicated and cannot be confined to just one syndrome or disorder. Continu…
Goals Set in the Land of the Living/Dying
A longitudinal qualitative research study was undertaken to provide an understanding of a prolonged experience of advanced cancer, as seen through the eyes of dying individuals. Using a variant of the grounded theory method, the authors theoretically sampled, from outpatient clinics in a large comprehensive cancer treatment center, 27 patients with either advanced lung or gastrointestinal cancer who had an expected survival of up to 2 years. The …
The Air, the Tone, and Mannerisms of the Quakers
That the Quakers achieved disproportional economic success throughout their history is beyond dispute, yet the cause of the Quakers' success has received considerable debate. Though the Quakers promoted an ethic of hard work and thrift that Weber noted, a number of scholars have noted the role that Quaker networks and meetings played in the Quakers' success and some have argued that the Quakers' networks accounted entirely for the Quakers' wealth…

Congenial to Almost Every Shade of Radicalism
With many theories about the rise of Mormonism, this article turns to early Mormonism's growth in the Delaware Valley for insights. By testing the relative wealth of the converts, this article argues that Mormon conversion was not a product of deprivation as the converts tested were somewhat wealthier than their neighbors and were drawn from across the socioeconomic spectrum. Instead of appealing to the dispossessed, Mormonism offered a radical s…
Grief, Complicated Grief, and Trauma
The present study explored the nature of grief and trauma following the loss of a loved one. The concept of complicated grief (CG) was investigated, and the overlapping symptoms of trauma, CG, and grief were explored. Comparisons were made between those who reported CG and/or trauma and those who did not report CG or trauma in relation to search for meaning, death anxiety, and self-regulation. The failure to find meaning in the death of a loved o…
Grief Resulting from Euthanasia and Natural Death of Companion Animals
Pet death, like other losses, requires that the bereaved adjust to the often severe consequences of that loss. Previous research suggests there may be specific owner characteristics and situational variables that can affect how individuals adjust to the loss of their pet (Thomas, 1982). The present study investigated the influence of a number of variables on how one adjusts to companion-animal death including: Cause-of-Death (euthanasia versus na…
Depressotypic Cognitive Patterns in Major Depression and Conjugal Bereavement
The reaction to the death of a spouse is thought to be very similar to a major depressive episode. What little systematic research has been done in this area, however, has indicated that the bereaved may be differentiated from the depressed in terms of cognitive style. Based on Beck's cognitive theory of depression, the primary purpose of the present study was to investigate the differences among both uncomplicated (i.e., nondepressed) and depres…
Conflict and Compromise in the Built Environment
This paper examines the interaction of different agents involved with the production, consumption and control of new private housing. The context is central Berkshire, an area of high economic and residential growth. Continued housing growth and urban expansion runs counter to dominant local opinion, which is reflected by the activity of many community groups in the planning sphere. Typologies are offered of speculative house-builders and local c…
Measuring Fear of Death
In the research literature on death and dying, two assumptions are often made: 1) the prospect of death is universally anxiety-provoking and 2) death fear is a unidimensional construct. In order to explore the veracity of these assumptions, participants were shown a film designed to manipulate fear of death. Scores on a trait and a state measure of death fear were related to belief in an afterlife and response latencies to death words and neutral…
Perceptual Defensiveness and Death Anxiety
This study investigated the relationship between the extent of defensive responding on a perceptual recognition task and score on the Handal death anxiety scale. The results did not confirm the hypothesis that perceptually defensive respondents (those with elevated thresholds for death words as opposed to neutral words) would tend to have lower scores on the death anxiety inventory. Additional research into multilevel criteria of death anxiety is…
