Demographic associations with attitudes to psychiatry amongst medical and psychology students in the United Arab Emirates

Utilitarian psychology and influenza vaccine acceptance in the United Arab Emirates
Seasonal influenza is still a challenge in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). There is consensus that the most effective way to address this problem is through yearly vaccination campaigns. Despite governmental efforts to make the influenza vaccine available, there remains some hesitancy among the population. Previous research has focused on the conspiratorial and disinformation aspects of vaccine hesitancy. In this article, we posit that, apart fro…
Just-world beliefs are associated with influenza vaccine intake intent in the United Arab Emirates
Although not a prime public health concern, seasonal influenza remains a challenge in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This problem is augmented by the fact that the percentage of the population intending to take the yearly seasonal influenza vaccine is relatively low. The purpose of this study is to assess if vaccine knowledge and just-world beliefs have an impact on willingness to receive the seasonal influenza vaccine. The methodology relies on…

That research has yielded contradicting evidence and much debate. This study consists of a systematic review and meta-analysis, with the main aim of quantifying the effect of peer influence on adolescent substance use, as well as investigation into the factors that moderate this effect. Included studies neede…
Motivational Factors to Receive the Covid-19 Vaccine in the United Arab Emirates
Pareidolia in Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder
While there are many studies on pareidolia in healthy individuals and patients with schizophrenia, to our knowledge, there are no prior studies on pareidolia in patients with bipolar disorder. Accordingly, in this study, we, for the first time, measured pareidolia in patients with bipolar disorder ( N = 50), and compared that to patients with schizophrenia ( N = 50) and healthy controls ( N = 50). We have used (a) the scene test, which consists o…
Examining perceptions of academic stress and its sources among university students
The development of a scale to measure perceived sources of academic stress among university students. Based on empirical evidence and recent literature review, we developed an 18-item scale to measure perceptions of academic stress and its sources. Experts ( n = 12) participated in the content validation process of the instrument before it was administered to ( n = 100) students. The developed instrument has internal consistency reliability of 0.…
