Internalized stigma
BACKGROUND: Older adults have been found to internalize stigma from society and this has been linked to several variables including social support, coping, psychological distress, and mental well-being.

AIMS: This study employed path analysis to explore social support and coping as boundary conditions and underlying mechanism…
Truth about Rape Myths

It has widely been acknowledged that such attitudes hinder crime reporting while promoting violence in society. The main purpose of the current study was to examine the factors that influe…
Third-party intervention in high-risk situations in Africa
In recent times, bystander intervention has become an integral part of the effort to address the high prevalence rates of sexual violence on college campuses.

The current study examined the behaviour of bystanders from an African pers…

Despite the rise of stepfamilies in the sub-Saharan African countries, they have been largely under-studied, especially among the adolescent population. This study explored the nature of experiences and their determining factors as well…
Social media use, and fear of Covid-19 among Ghanaian university students
Although social media was useful in connecting with people and accessing pandemic-related information, our findings clearly suggest that overuse or over-engagement with social media was problematic, especially for females. Aside from developing interventions to reduce students' fears of COVID-19, appropriate usage of social media should be advocated

The findings offer imp…

This study examines the relationship between positive and negative religious coping and psychological health…
