This study was conducted as to explore the effectiveness of the treatment modules in group counselling between the Cognitive Therapy Group Counselling and Behavior Therapy Group Counselling in reducing stress level among nurses in Women and Children Hospital in Kota Kinabalu. There are two objectives that guided this mixed methods study. Firstly, this study was to test the effectiveness of the Cognitive Therapy Group Counselling (CTGC) by looking at the different between pre-test and post-test results on the level of stress among nurses who have followed the CTGC with nurses who did not follow the CTGC (control group). Secondly, this study was to test the effectiveness of the Behavior Therapy Group Counselling (BTGC) by looking at the different between pre-test and post-test results on the level of stress among nurses who have followed the BTGC with nurses who did not follow the BTGC (control group). The results showed that there was a significance difference on the level of stress between nurses who joined either GCCT and GCBT with those nurses who did not join the treatment (Control group). In fact, nurses who have joined either treatment have shown some decrease in their stress level. However, when comparing between the two (CTGC and BTGC), BTGC showed better results in reducing stress level among nurses in the hospital. Therefore, both CTGC and BTGC are suitable to reduce stress among nurses in the hospital.

The Purpose of the Study: In this study, establishing a linear regression model that explain academic achievement in terms of assessing academic achievement and intelligence is aimed. Method: In this study, a longitudinal pattern is designed by using 85 students' scores of Culture Fair Intelligence Test (CFIT) (evaluated in 5th grade), Primary Mental Abilities Ages (PMAA) (evaluated in 7th grade) and Transition From Basic To Secondary Education (TEOG) (evaluated in 8th grade). Findings and Conclusion: Findings show that there is positively meaningful relation between PMAA and TEOG scores. In established regression model, the scores of PMAA is seemed to explain the 14% of the variance. This finding is thought to prove that TEOG is based on the skill of reading comprehension rather than reasoning. For further studies, it is suggested to consider the predictors of personal variables in addition to academic achievement and intelligence scores.

Marital distress and marital relationship problems are effective in generation and acceleration of depression. Depression is a significant contributor to the global burden of disease and affects people in all communities across the world. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of emotion-focused cognitive therapy in decreasing depression caused due to marital relationship problems. The design of this study was semi-experimental with pre-test, post-test and control group. The research population consisted of all couples referred to the Ferdowsi University of Mashhad Clinic of Psychology. 10 couples with marital problems were selected by convenience sampling, and randomly assigned to an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received emotion-focused cognitive therapy while the control group received no treatment. The research measurement instruments consisted of BDI-II and CPQ. ANCOVA models were used to test the study hypothesis. The results showed that EFCT had been effective in decreasing depression due to marital relationship problems (P < 0.001). The results of our study not only demonstrated that the importance of cognition and emotion in marital relationship but also product useful information about effectiveness of EFCT on depression caused due to marital relationship problems for researchers, counselors and psychotherapists.

Objective: The current study explores whether WISC-IV cognitive profiles could allow to differentiate between presentations of ADHD. Method: A clinical sample of 216 subjects aged between 6 and 16 years and distributed into 2 subgroups (ADHD inattentive type group aged M = 8.5, SD = 2.4; and ADHD combined group M = 10.1, SD = 2.6) was recruited for the study. Results: Processing Speed Index mean score was significantly higher (F (1,214) = 14.7, p< .001, d = 0.52) in ADHD-Inattentive group (M = 90.7; SD = 12.1) than ADHD-Combined group (M = 97.7; SD = 14.7). Furthermore, PSI was negatively associated with “Inattention” dimension (β = -.21, p< .001 family and β = -.19, p< .001 teachers) while it was positively associated with “Hyperactivity/Impulsivity” dimension (β = .27, p< .001 family and β = .33, p< .001 teachers). Conclusions: The higher inattentiveness the lower PSI mean score, while a higher hyperactivity/impulsivity mean score would reduce the impact caused for inattentiveness. Thus, ADHD-I profile would tend to show a significant lower PSI mean score than ADHD-C.

Background: Little is known about the role of the fathers of anorectic women. The aim of this study was to investigate the attachment state of mind in anorectic women and their fathers. In addition, two other groups of young women and their fathers were included. Methods: In total there were three groups consisting of women between 18-30 years with anorexia nervosa (AG), drug-dependency problems (DG) and students (SG) without significant problems. We also included the parents of all three groups. The diagnoses of anorexia nervosa and drug-dependency were made according to DSM-IV [1] and ICD-10 [2]. Several methods were used in the study. [3, 4] The Adult Attachment Interview [5] was the focus of this report. Results: The analyses showed that the Anorectic women (AG) had more of a dismissing attachment state of mind, than those who were categorized as enmeshed or secure/autonomous. The attachment of the fathers showed more of a dismissing state of mind than of those categorized as with secure or enmeshed attachment. The subcategories showed that both among the anorectic women and the fathers the dismissing attachment state of mind with restriction of feelings was most represented. The dependent women (DG) had more of an unresolved/enmeshed attachment state of mind than those who were categorized as dismissing or secure/autonomous. The attachment of the fathers showed more of an unresolved/secure attachment state of mind than of those categorized as dismissing or enmeshed. The subcategories showed that enmeshed attachment state of mind of the dependent girls differed from fathers with the unresolved/secure attachment state of mind. Conclusion: This study illustrates the similarities and the differences of attachment styles among anorectic women and their fathers in comparison to the dependent women and their fathers. The insecure attachment is dominant in the two groups but differ in its expressions. The number of participants in the study was low and larger studies are needed to clarify the interpersonal and intra-psychic meaning to the anorectic woman.

Research has identified the moderating role of stress management on the relationship between information overload syndrome and performance (IOS&P) of university students. Observation conducted due to Information Technologies usages. Research has become relatively easy as all the materials are readily available, but at the same time too much information acts as a noise and students feel problematic in choosing the right information which causes stress and affects students' performance. The IOS&P framework has been tested with the help of primary data collected from the students of Universiti Utara Malaysia. The findings of the study revealed that information overload syndrome has a negative impact over the performance of students. Furthermore, the addition of moderating variable i.e. stress management converts the negative impact into positive impact and has increased the value of explained variation. Thus, the overall framework has been approved and the study highlighted that there is a significant moderating role of stress management over the relationship between information overload syndrome and students performance.

Parental divorce is the issue of most concern for children. The purpose of this article is to describe interventions for children from divorced family. Literature review and references look at divorce groups from multiple perspectives so as to include as many diverse issues as possible. Group counseling helps students understand the wide variety of different issues that arise in the context of groups, helps with universality, and brings support and healing to the very essence of their life. The overall purpose, to empower students to make healthy adjustments in their lives given the immense life changes, is well served by group counseling. Measurable goals and evaluation methods insure a high degree of rigor in the process. Finally, 9 sessions are spelled out in detail including clear objectives, necessary materials and specific strategies so as to insure success in realizing the purpose of the group. Results of multivariate analysis of variance showed that the interventionist model developed by the researcher was effective in improving psychological adjustment (P<0/01). Children of divorce participating sessions succeeded to overcome the negative effects of parental divorce through learning new skills. It is recommended that parents, school counselors and educational authorities benefit the study findings in order to help increase the adjustment in children of divorce.

Every year, 20% of teenagers at school suffer from common mental disorders such as anxiety and depression (WHO, 2011). Indonesian Health Ministry reported that the prevalence of emotional disturbance of students at age 15 year and above is about 6% (Riset Kesehatan Dasar, 2013). This fact above reaffirms the importance of school-based mental health as a strategic program to elevate adolescent well-being. This study specifically aims to validate mental health screening and diagnostic instrument to collect more accurate and comprehensive data about children and adolescents' mental health state and manage it using Integrated Mental Health Information System (Sistem Informasi Kesehatan Mental/SIKM). The participants in this study were 308 students consisted of elementary school, middle school, high school students, and 28 teachers in Yogyakarta. Data collection was conducted through online survey using mental health scale and knowledge questionnaire. Additional data was collected through interview and focus group discussion. The data shows that students' mental health state in Yogyakarta belonged to moderate category (81%) and high (19%). Focus group discussions revealed no system and policies have established to support students' mental health at schools. Generally, according to assessment done by the teachers, the level of students' well-being was described as such: 10.71% belonged to high category, 75% moderate, and 14.28% low. These findings provide early data to determine appropriate intervention programs in the future.
每年,在校青少年中有20%患有焦虑和抑郁等常见精神障碍(世卫组织,2011年)。印度尼西亚卫生部报告称,15岁及以上学生的情绪障碍患病率约为6% (Riset Kesehatan Dasar, 2013)。上述事实重申了以学校为基础的心理健康作为提高青少年福祉的战略方案的重要性。本研究旨在验证心理健康筛查和诊断工具,以收集更准确和全面的儿童和青少年心理健康状况数据,并利用综合心理健康信息系统(System Informasi Kesehatan mental /SIKM)对其进行管理。本研究以日惹市小学、初中生、高中生308名学生及28名教师为研究对象。数据收集采用心理健康量表和知识问卷进行在线调查。通过访谈和焦点小组讨论收集了额外的数据。数据显示,日惹学生的心理健康状况属于中等(81%)和高(19%)。焦点小组讨论显示,没有建立任何系统和政策来支持学校学生的心理健康。总体而言,根据教师的评估,学生的幸福水平描述为:10.71%属于高类别,75%属于中等类别,14.28%属于低类别。这些发现为未来确定适当的干预方案提供了早期数据。

A multiple module model of human consciousness is needed because several powerful subconscious elements have been found which strongly influence behavior. Recognition of the existence of brain-mind modules is as old as written history. Recently, McLean's evolutionary Triune Brain model, has been expanded to Morton's Dual Quadbrain Model of modular consciousness. The bilaterality of the cerebrum is necessary because the left hemisphere is specialized in top-down logic, which cannot occur in the same space as the right hemisphere's bottom-up orientation. These differences have led to the concept of hemisity, which is based upon which side of the anterior cingulate, part of the executive ego, was larger, thus determining the right or left brain-orientation of the individual. The cerebellum which is also bilateral, houses Freud's Superego with its life and social orientation, so often emulated in religion. It also houses the Thanatos, Reactive Mind, Pain Body, and mutated developmental arrest repair program (xDARP), source of conflict between mates leading to more than 50% to divorce in the US. Lastly, the brain core is also bilateral with Freud's ferocious wolf-Id on one side and the loyal and supportive dog-Id on the other. These produce the hostile or friendly ultimate brain output. With these seven brain modules active, we are a formidable society of seven.

These differences have led to the concept of hemisity, which is based upon which side of the anterior cingulate, part of the executive ego, was larger, thus determining the right or left brain-orientation of the individual. The cerebellum which is also bilateral, houses Freud's Superego with its life and social orientation, so often emulated in religion. It also houses the Thanatos, Reactive Mind, Pain Body, and mutated developmental arrest repair program (xDARP), source of conflict between mates leading to more than 50% to divorce in the US. Lastly, the brain core is also bilateral with Freud's ferocious wolf-Id on one side and the loyal and supportive dog-Id on the other. These produce the hostile or friendly ultimate brain output. With these seven brain modules active, we are a formidable society of seven.","PeriodicalId":23456,"journal":{"name":"Universal Journal of Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84440047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
