Young women’s somatic symptoms are more strongly predicted by psychosocial rather than physiological factors
OBJECTIVE: Somatic symptoms - persistent medically unexplained physical complaints - present a challenge for the healthcare system, partly because patients often resist psychological explanations and treatments. To inform patient-practitioner interactions, we provide country-specific population-representative longitudinal data on the relative contributions of physiological and psychosocial factors - individually, as specific targets for treatment…
The Development of the Attachment Defenses Questionnaire (ADQ-50)
726), including undergraduates, Prolific contributors, general practice medical patients, and individuals from social media. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a robust ten-factor structure, resulting in a 50-item scale aligning with theoretical expectations and demonstrating good psychometric properties. Findings, limitations, strengths and future research directions are discussed. We posit that the ADQ holds great potential to deepen our comp…
Gender based adolescent self-compassion profiles and the mediating role of nonattachment on psychological well-being
Emerging research has shown that boys and girls may relate to compassionate and uncompassionate components of self-compassion differently and have distinct gender based self-compassion profiles. This study extended upon recent research by investigating gender based adolescent self-compassion profiles and their relationship with psychological well-being and the role of nonattachment in the link between self-compassion and well-being. A large cross…
Gender differences in self-compassion
Self-compassion, a healthy way of relating to oneself, may promote psychological resilience during adolescence. How adolescents engage with self-compassion, and whether they have distinct self-compassionate or uncompassionate psychological profiles, is unclear. This study investigated potential self-compassion profiles based on responses to the Self-Compassion Scale–Short Form (SCS-SF) and examined their relationship with a range of mental health…
Default defenses
Contemporary attachment researchers claim that attachment-anxiety is associated with a hyperactivating defense strategy while attachment-avoidance is associated with a deactivating defense strategy. However, to date, no study has comprehensively examined the basic patterns of specific defense expression in the two dimensions of attachment insecurity (anxiety/avoidance). To address this research gap, the current study aimed to assess the character…
