Finding charm through charms: Utilizing library specializations, Hogwarts houses and Big Five Traits to spell out librarian self-identity
This study uses fandom as a conceptual foundation to ascertain how self-identities and personality traits are reflected across library and information sciences (LIS), a field with varied specializations based in diverging skills and interests. By analysing the relationship between librarians’ Hogwarts house affiliations, LIS specializations and Big Five personality trait adjectives, this interdisciplinary research of fandom studies, LIS and psych…
Putting CATs and item banks to work: How to construct predictive and sensitive PROMIS screeners for use in ambulatory oncology
Five 2-item customized PROMIS forms are available for use in routine clinical care, such as distress screening in oncology. Our study provides a useful complement to psychometric criteria, helping to minimize misclassification of patients in need during screening
Understanding and Addressing Mental Health Disparities and Stigma in Serious Illness and Palliative Care
Patients receiving palliative care experience stigma associated with their illness, personal identity, and healthcare utilization. These stigmas can occur at any stage of the disease process. Varying stigmas combine to cause palliative care patients to feel misunderstood, contribute to treatment barriers, and further negative stereotypes held by clinicians. Stigma surrounding palliative care patients stems from complex intersections of varied acc…
Despite popular intuition, positive world beliefs poorly reflect several objective indicators of privilege, including wealth, health, sex, and neighborhood safety
OBJECTIVES: We tested whether generalized beliefs that the world is safe, abundant, pleasurable, and progressing (termed "primal world beliefs") are associated with several objective measures of privilege. METHODS: Three studies (N = 16,547) tested multiple relationships between indicators of privilege-including socioeconomic status, health, sex, and neighborhood safety-and relevant world beliefs, as well as researchers and laypeople's expectatio…
Finding Meaning in Life After a Cancer Diagnosis: What Is the Role of Financial Strain
Finding meaning in life is important for maintaining physical and mental well-being. Obtaining a deeper understanding of activities that patients with cancer find meaningful is essential in improving cancer care and increasing meaning in life in these individuals. The sample of the present study consisted of patients with cancer ( N = 61) who reported their levels of financial strain and listed types of activities that they found most meaningful …
Self-complexity and socio-emotional adjustment to a romantic event in early adulthood
Self-complexity, the extent that people experience themselves as having a number of distinct and meaningful social roles, may have implications for young adults' socio-emotional adjustment to romantic life events. Based on prior research, we hypothesized that participants who reported lower self-complexity would have worse adjustment to a negative event (not having a date on Valentine's Day) but better adjustment to a positive event (having a dat…
Paradoxical interventions in counselling for people with an intractable Aids-worry
This article has two main objectives. Firstly, consideration is given to the context in which certain individuals become convinced that they have been infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), despite repeated negative HIV antibody tests and reassurance. Secondly, it is to describe an intervention which is designed to escalate anxiety in individuals with an intractable AIDS-worry, in order to release them from their rigid and distress…
