The Influence of Disagreements over Covid-19 Preventive Measures on Stress and Sleep Quality
In this paper we reported the rate of disagreements and their effect on stress levels and sleep quality. Data was collected from 573 South Dakota residents. We estimated two ordinary least squares regressions using stress and sleep quality due to COVID-19 as outcome variables. A high percentage (62.1%) of the participants reported disagreements over COVID-19 with friends and family members. Disagreements over COVID-19 were associated with a highe…
The invisible frontiers
Research on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on social workers is limited, especially from low-income countries. Hence, this study examined the effect of this international health crisis on the mental health of 261 social workers in health care settings in Egypt. Generalized anxiety and stress generated by fear of COVID-19 directly influenced social workers’ intention to leave their current job. The findings show the vulnerability of social wo…
The mental health of health care workers in Oman during the Covid-19 pandemic
BACKGROUND: COVID-19 disease is one of the most destructive events that humanity has witnessed in the 21st century. It has impacted all aspects of life and all segments of populations, including already vulnerable health care providers. AIMS: This study sought to detect the prevalence of mental health issues in sample of physicians and nurses working in several health facilities in Oman. METHOD: We gauged the mental health conditions of 509 physi…
A Conceptual Model of Work-Family Balance Among Qatari Adults
Work-family balance is shrouded in conceptual ambiguity and WEIRD (western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic) understanding, which impedes scientific advancement and subsequent practical solutions. This qualitative study constructs a conceptual model of work-family balance among Qatari adults. Based on grounded theory methods, in-depth interview data from 20 Qatari adults (10 women and 10 men) indicated that work-family balance mean…
Arab Families' Stories of Migration from War Zones
This paper presents qualitative research investigating changes of gender roles and family relations across war-initiated migration journeys for Syrian and Iraqi refugees now settled in Canada. The impact of gendered cultural narratives and social norms is evident in gender role changes in spousal and parental relationships. Refugees story their family and relational lives against the social, cultural, and political backdrop of war, migration jour…

Attribution Theory
In the 1970s attribution research became a dominant force in the field of social psychology. There is no one theory of attribution; rather, several perspectives are collectively referred to as attribution theory. Attribution theory explains how perceivers explain human behaviors by inferring the causes of those behaviors
Collectivism
Collectivism is a cultural orientation that emphasizes the importance of conformity, loyalty, social harmony, and preserving in‐group integrity. The construct of collectivism has a long history in the social sciences. Collectivism and its counterpart construct, individualism, are widely employed by contemporary social scientists

“I Want to Stand on My Own Legs”
A review of the antiretroviral therapy (ART) literature revealed that not a single published study has examined the factors that influence patients' adherence to HIV medications in the Arab world. To mend this gap, this qualitative study collected data via face-to-face interviews with 27 HIV-positive Egyptian women who had been on ART for at least three months. Using a thematic analysis technique, five themes were identified: fear of stigma, fina…
Stigmatization of Persons With HIV/Aids in Saudi Arabia
Data about the stigmatization of persons living with HIV/AIDS in Saudi Arabia are scarce. Recent statistics from Saudi Ministry of Health showed that 77% of HIV-positive Saudis were males. The present study analyzed data from 162 Saudi male college students. The findings suggest that students who knew less about HIV/AIDS were more likely to stigmatize persons living with HIV/AIDS than those who knew more. Neither degree of religiosity nor worry a…
Development of a Yemeni Aids stigma scale
Research on the social and behavioral aspects of AIDS in the Arab world is relatively scarce despite the efforts of a few scholars over the last quarter century. AIDS-related stigma and discrimination are especially important areas that have received little attention. One critical barrier to undertaking such research has been the absence of an Arabic instrument to employ this work. The current study addressed this gap by developing and implementi…
Driving a Car in Saudi
The sociological literature on teach ing and learning includes a number of dis cussions devoted to the importance of multi cultural education (Lucal 1996; Martin 1996; Moremen 1997). Much of this litera ture encourages educators to revise the cur riculum and shows how the experience of multicultural education can stimulate stu dents' sociological imaginations (Thompson and Tyagi 1993). Beyond its role within the discipline, multicultural educatio…
Religion and Mate Selection through Cyberspace
Researchers who study mate selection have become increasingly interested in whether human mate selection criteria are universal. However, the majority of the published work focuses on Western cultures. In this article, we address this shortcoming by testing some of the hypotheses advanced by evolutionary psychologists on mate preferences among Muslims. Respondents were asked to rate the desirability of 18 characteristics in a potential mate and t…
Collectivism
Collectivism is a cultural pattern that emphasizes the importance of in‐group goals, conformity, loyalty, social harmony, and preserving in‐group integrity. The concepts of collectivism and individualism have a long history in the social sciences. For example, Ferdinand Tönnies suggested that in a Gemeinschaft (community), people have strong personal connections, common values and goals, and a sense of unity and loyalty. In a Gesellschaft (societ…
Attribution Theory
As interest in consistency theories waned in the 1960s, new approaches to cognitive research emerged. In the 1970s, and to a lesser extent in the 1980s, attribution research became a dominant force in the field of social psychology. There is no one theory of attribution; rather, several perspectives are collectively referred to as attribution theory. Attribution theory explains how perceivers explain human behaviors by inferring the causes of tho…
Helping a Friend with Aids
Two studies conducted in Kuwait examined two models from the attribution-affect-action theory. The theory suggests that an individual's decision to help someone with AIDS is determined by his or her affective reactions of pity and anger, which are determined by an attribution of responsibility (model 1). Help giving, according to the theory, is not determined by causal attribution without the influence of emotion, especially when the person in ne…

Attribution and Helping Behavior- Testing the Attribution-Affect-Help Judgment Model in a Saudi Sample
Attribution and Helping Behavior
A review of the literature on Weiner's attributional theory indicates that the theory has not been tested in Arabic cultures. The present study examined the reactions of Saudi men toward a friend with AIDS, using Weiner's attributional theory of social motivation. A sample of 298 Saudi men read two different vignettes about a friend with AIDS, in which the cause of AIDS was manipulated. Then the assignment of responsibility, reactions of anger an…
