An Exploratory Study of the Emotion-Expressive Behaviors of “Peace,” “Contentment,” and “Annoyed/Irritated”: Implications for Dead and Living Faces
This study initially set out to explore the facial features (and their descriptions) of the emotion-expressive behaviors of “peace” and “contentment” but ended up with a third one, “annoyed/irritated.” The emotion-expressive behaviors of “peace” and “contentment” have been associated with the faces of deceased persons in a previous study. The pictures of two volunteers taken during a class on relaxation technique were given to 93 respondents made…
Cultural Interpretation of Dying and Death in a Non-Western Society: The Case of Nigeria
Using Western theories and perspectives as models, this chapter discusses the cultural interpretation of dying and death in a non-Western society. Also discussed, based on the historical, political, and cultural history of Nigeria, are the implications of dying and death for death preparation, the problem of death- causation diseases without external symptoms, and the special plight of widows. Suggestions are made on how to change current practic…
Life-Span Developmental Psychology: Midlife and Later Years in Western and Non-Western Societies
This chapter discusses the basis on which studies have been done on the later years of life in Western and non-Western cultures. It suggests that because Westerners value independence, most research on aging in Western societies has focused on how to help the individual maintain his or her functional independence throughout the life-span. Non-Westerners, on the other hand, value interdependence. Therefore, most research on aging has focused on th…
The Faces of Deceased Persons as Emotion-Expressive Behaviors: Implications for Mourning Trajectories
Emotion discrete terms (e.g., sad, happy, and angry) are not only used to describe the faces of living people but could also be used to describe those of dead people. This study was carried out in two phases among college and non-college participants drawn from a small community in the mid-west region of the United States. Study one was made up of 108 participants (age range 17–81), with a mean of 38, and study two was made up of 211 participants…
Care of Elderly Persons in the Family: An Approach Based on a Developmental Model
Care-giving as an act of decision-making, as a reciprocal action, and based on sex of the care-giver, are reviewed. It is suggested that the care of elderly parents, a long-term commitment, should be viewed from a developmental perspective, beginning from childhood for an adult ore-giver to be better adjusted to this role and for better outcomes
Stifled Grief in the Workplace
Organizations, by allowing time off for funerals and expecting their bereaved employees to resume full - blown responsibilities immediately afterwards, promote stifled grief (i.e., any recognized grief denied its full course). Preliminary data gathered from 145 participants; 67% women and 33% men, with ages ranging from 18 - 65 years (M = 30 . 96 years), suggest the presence of stifled grief. Stifled grief could have adverse consequences on worke…
