Humor styles and well-being of women with endometriosis during the Covid-19 pandemic
Women with endometriosis frequently report worse psychological distress, pain, and quality of life than healthy women. However, not all women with endometriosis fare poorly, suggesting that coping resources may moderate the relation of endometriosis with adjustment. Thus, we examined the relation of adaptive and maladaptive humor styles with mental and physical health outcomes among women with endometriosis during the COVID-19 pandemic. Forty-eig…
Caregiving in quarantine: Humor styles, reframing, and psychological well-being among parents of children with disabilities
Prior research links adaptive humor styles (affiliative and self-enhancing) with enhanced psychological well-being and maladaptive humor styles (aggressive and self-defeating) with worse psychological well-being, primarily through humor styles' influence on individuals' social interactions and efforts to positively reframe stressors. The present study examined the unique relation of each humor style with psychological well-being with a focus on u…
The Implications of Unmitigated Agency and Unmitigated Communion for Domains of Problem Behavior
Agency and communion are broad dimensions of personality that reflect a focus on the self and a focus on others, respectively. In this article, we distinguish unmitigated agency, a focus on the self to the exclusion of others, from agency, and we distinguish unmitigated communion, a focus on others to the exclusion of self, from communion. We argue that it is unmitigated agency and unmitigated communion that are linked to domains of problem behav…
Cognitive Adaptation as a Predictor of New Coronary Events After Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty
OBJECTIVE: We tested whether the psychological components of cognitive adaptation theory would predict new coronary events after a first percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). METHODS: A consecutive sample of patients treated successfully with PTCA were enrolled in the study. Of 343 patients approached, 303 (88%) agreed to participate and were interviewed shortly before hospital discharge. We measured the components of cognitive a…

Unmitigated Agency and Unmitigated Communion: Distinctions from Agency and Communion
Distinctions of unmitigated communion from communion: Self-neglect and overinvolvement with others
The authors sought to distinguish unmitigated communion, a focus on others to the exclusion of the self, from communion, a positive caring orientation toward others. Across four studies, the authors showed that unmitigated communion and communion are correlated, but that unmitigated communion is distinct from communion in terms of a negative view of the self, turning to others for self-evaluative information, and psychological distress. They also…
