Associations between myocardial infarction (MI), personality traits, and mental health
Age moderates the associations between psychological distress and verbal fluency
Psychological distress mediates the associations between neighborhood social cohesion (NSC) and cognitive performance in older adults
The aim of the current study is to test how psychological distress mediates the associations between neighborhood social cohesion (NSC) and cognitive performance including episodic memory, semantic verbal fluency, fluid reasoning, and numeracy in older adults. Nine multiple regressions were used to analyze the associations between NSC and cognitive performance, NSC and psychological distress, and psychological distress and cognitive performance r…
Age and mental health moderate the association between environmental concern (EC) and smoking frequency
It is well-recognized that smoking is detrimental to the environment. However, much less is understood about smoking behavior from an environmental perspective with a focus on environmental concern (EC). This study aims to establish the association between EC and smoking frequency in smokers and test whether age and mental health moderate such an association. Obtained by analyzing data using regressions on smokers ( N = 3,599) from Understanding …
Understanding the associations between personality traits and the frequency of alcohol intoxication in young males and females
The problem of alcohol intoxication is growing and expanding worldwide, which has numerous adverse health and psychological consequences. Thus, it is unsurprising that there are so many efforts made toward underlying the psychological determinants of alcohol intoxication. While some research found that the belief in drinking is important, other research considers personality traits as a risk factor for alcohol consumption and intoxication, which …
Establishing the associations between the Big Five personality traits and self-reported number of close friends
Close friends are important across the life span, who spend time together, provide support, and share happiness. But what determines the number of close friends one would have? One of the most important factors would be personality traits, which capture the most basic differences among individuals in terms of how they feel, think, and behave. This report aimed to establish the associations between the Big Five personality traits and the number of…
Understanding the effect of angina on general and dimensions of psychological distress
The current study implies that GHQ-12 is a valid measure of psychological distress in people with angina, and there is a need to consider the dimensions of psychological distress in angina rather than solely focusing on certain dimensions of psychological distress such as depression or anxiety issues in people with angina. Clinicians should come up with interventions to reduce psychological distress in people with angina which can then lead to be…
Illegal drug use is associated with poorer life satisfaction and self-rated health (SRH) in young people
Illegal drugs can bring negative health and psychological health consequences to people who use them. However, much less is known about illegal drug use and its association with life satisfaction and self-rated health (SRH) in young people in the context of the United Kingdom, which is important because SRH and life satisfaction are associated with important outcomes including morbidity and mortality. By analyzing data from a nationally represent…
Big Five personality traits predict illegal drug use in young people
Previous studies have looked at the associations between personality traits and illegal drug use in people across various age groups and in various countries. However, much less is known about how personality traits relate to illegal drug use in young people aged between 16 and 21 in the context of the United Kingdom, who are in a unique developmental period that is more vulnerable to illegal drugs. Moreover, previous studies have only looked at …
Investigating the association between diabetes and mental health
Diabetes is a chronic health condition that affects how the body turns food into energy. Research has demonstrated a relationship between diabetes and various mental health issues, which include psychiatric disorders and other problems that are specific for people living with diabetes. Although previous studies have shed light on the associations between diabetes and various types of mental health issues with a focus on depression and anxiety, mu…
The relationship between smoking frequency and life satisfaction
SRH partially mediated the negative relationship between smoking frequency and life satisfaction. Findings from the current study may imply that antismoking campaigns and pamphlets are needed to counter the promotion of smoking by the tobacco industry. Moreover, interventions are needed for current smokers to reduce their smoking frequency to improve their life satisfaction, which can promote life satisfaction and positive outcomes associated wit…
