Underlying Personality Factors Behind Experiencing Shame, Guilt and Remorse
Associations between posttraumatic stress symptoms and posttraumatic growth elements
The study identified the most influential symptom in the PTS network and the bridge symptoms in the combined network of PTS symptoms and PTG elements in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in the present sample. The bridge symptoms helped in understanding how PTS and PTG co-existed in adults exposed to disasters such as COVID-19. Identification of these symptoms can be highly significant for developing targeted interventions. These implications …
Examining Cultural, Ethnic, and Religious Differences with the Brief Multidimensional Measure of Religiousness and Spirituality in the U.S. and India
Tears evoke the intention to offer social support
Tearful crying is a ubiquitous and likely uniquely human phenomenon. Scholars have argued that emotional tears serve an attachment function: Tears are thought to act as a social glue by evoking social support intentions. Initial experimental studies supported this proposition across several methodologies, but these were conducted almost exclusively on participants from North America and Europe, resulting in limited generalizability. This project …
The right parietal lobe, sense of self, and empathy
This study extends previous research where empathy associated with increased right parietal lobe (RPL) “self-orientation” and left hemisphere (LH) “other-orientation” by investigating different cultural (India, US), ethnic (African American, Caucasian, South Asian), and religious (Christian, Hindu, Muslim) groupings. Participants included 108 individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and explored correlations between empathy and neuropsycholo…
Revisiting Guilt, Shame, and Remorse
Selflessness as a universal neuropsychological foundation of spiritual transcendence
Research with US and European Christians has shown that increased spiritual transcendence is related to decreased right hemisphere/right parietal lobe (RH/RPL) functioning, which has been inferred as relating to increased “selflessness”. To determine if RH/RPL selflessness is a universal neuropsychological foundation for spiritual transcendence across cultures and religions, this study evaluated 109 individuals with traumatic brain injury from th…

Posttraumatic Growth Experiences among Tibetan Refugees
Posttraumatic growth (PTG) is the phenomenon of positive psychological changes experienced as a result of the struggle with highly challenging life circumstances. This study is a qualitative investigation of PTG experiences among 12 Tibetan refugees residing in Dharmshala, Himachal Pradesh, India. Interpretive phenomenological analysis was used to analyze the narratives of case studies in order to explore various dimensions of PTG experienced by …
Cultural factors promoting coping among Tibetan refugees
This study is an attempt to understand the role of cultural resources in promoting coping among Tibetan refugees. Tibetan refugee communities have adapted well and managed to preserve their cultural identity in exile and have been cited as models of successful coping with refugee life. Tibet is renowned for its rich culture and traditions. The unique feature of this culture is the devotion towards Buddhism which has exerted a strong influence in …
Development and validation of the Refugee Trauma Experience Inventory
Performance on a Mirror-Drawing Task by Non-Right-Handers
Left-, mixed-, and right-handed (each n = 10, N = 30) adolescent boys who were classified on the basis of a hand preference inventory performed a mirror-drawing task with a bilateral transfer of a skill paradigm. Participants' hand preference and the magnitude of bilateral transfer of skill were assessed in terms of errors committed and time taken to complete the mirror-drawing task. Mixed-handed participants exhibited significantly less habit in…
