Abstract The purpose of the current study was to reach an interpretive understanding of the reasons underlying favorable and unfavorable attitudes of Israeli elderly adults and their family members toward euthanasia. The informants were 47 individuals representing 19 families who were asked for their attitudes toward four case studies that represented withholding and withdrawing treatment, active euthanasia, and physician-assisted death. Results of the grounded theory analysis revealed that most of the participants favored withholding life-sustaining treatment and that almost half of them thought active euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide were morally acceptable as long as the decision was made by the individual patient himself or herself (voluntary). The reasons that justified their attitude positions were named according to six dimensions: promoting life, promoting death, self-control, dele-gators, allowing to die, and one-way street. The analysis further examined similar reasons that were provide...

Abstract This writing brings consciousness to the experience of Motherloss from an adult daughter's perspective. Death is an issue of soul. It is not a problem to be understood and resolved but, rather, a mystery to be experienced. To face death and have a soulful relationship to the experience of Motherloss, one must have access to a feminine consciousness, a dimension of reality deeply forgotten and lost in modern Western culture.

Abstract Mild brain injury, despite its name, has lasting effects for many of its sufferers. This article is a firsthand account of one person's struggle with its onset and effects. Mot least of the symptoms is the sense of disconfirmalion and confusion that ensues because sufferers usually look “normal.” However, inside, their cognitive functioning and sense of self have changed markedly. Moreover, the effects often last longer than seem likely to medical professionals and laypeople alike, leading to evaluations of malingering or prior emotional distress. This first-person account is framed within the context of current literature on mild head injury.

Abstract This study examined the correlates of unrealistic beliefs about spinal cord injury [SCI), denial tendencies, and defensiveness over the first year following injury onset (JV = 40). Individuals were interviewed at three different times after their return to the community. Specific overly optimistic beliefs about SCI were not associated with any index of adjustment at the first two assessments; however, these beliefs were associated with greater distress and perceived handicap 1 year following return to the community. Greater denial and defensiveness were consistently associated with less distress, hostility, and perceived handicap at each assessment. No self-report variables were associated with the occurrence of preventable secondary complications diagnosed 1 year following discharge from the rehabilitation unit. Results are discussed as they pertain to models of reality negotiation and adjustment to the onset of severe physical disability.

Abstract Losses are often equated for conceptual purposes, and it is often assumed that different types of losses result in similar grief reactions and exert similar effects on cognitive structures and coping patterns. This article examines the expectancies, beliefs, coping patterns, and psychological adjustment associated with loss due to death, parental. divorce, or illness and disability in a college student population. Loss groups did not differ from each other or from a no-loss group on cognitive variables, coping, or psychological adjustment. In instances in which associations between the cognitive measures and either coping or adjustment were indicated, the typical pattern was for loss groups to differ from the no-loss condition but not from each other.

Abstract A study of 31 patients (20 males and 11 females) at a sports medicine clinic who attributed their injuries to overtraining or overuse was conducted to examine the relationship between causal attribution dimensions and psychological adjustment to sport injury. Participants completed a battery of questionnaires that included the Profile of Mood States (POMS) and an attribution measure in which participants were asked to identify the main cause of their injuries and to rate the perceived cause of injury in terms of internality, stability, and globality dimensions. The attribu-tional dimensions accounted for 55% of the variance (p < .0005) in POMS total mood disturbance (TMD) scores. Internality (ft =– .38, p < .01) and stability (ft = –.58, p < .0005) were inversely related to TMD. These findings were essentially the same when statistically controlling for injury duration, injury severity, and injury status. The findings suggest that attributing overuse injuries to internal and stable factors may ha...
摘要对31例因过度训练或过度使用导致损伤的运动医学门诊患者(男20例，女11例)进行研究，探讨运动损伤的因果归因维度与心理适应的关系。参与者完成了一系列问卷调查，其中包括情绪状态概况(POMS)和归因测量，参与者被要求确定他们受伤的主要原因，并根据内部性、稳定性和整体性维度对受伤的感知原因进行评级。归因维度占POMS总情绪障碍(TMD)得分方差的55% (p < .0005)。内在性(ft = - 0.38, p < 0.01)和稳定性(ft = - 0.38, p < 0.01)。58, p < .0005)与TMD呈负相关。在统计上控制损伤持续时间、损伤严重程度和损伤状态时，这些发现基本上是相同的。研究结果表明，将过度使用损伤归因于内部和稳定的因素可能……

Abstract Research has shown the mesomorphic physique to be the most preferred body type among males. Specifically, the hypermesomorphic physique, which displays extreme muscularity and definition, is the most desired (Tucker, 1983). Mishkind, Rodin, Silberstein, and Streigel-Moore (1987) concluded that multiple reasons exist for this preference, most notably the intimate ties that exist among societal conceptions of masculinity, the male sex role, and the mesomorphic physique. Bodybuilding has been perceived as an avenue by which males attempt to develop the preferred mesomorphic physique, and, at times, anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) have been ingested as a means for further development. This study entailed in-depth interviews with 10 male bodybuilders, all of whom had taken, or were currently taking, AAS. This article presents the findings of the interviews concerning the perceived benefits of and psychological dependency on AAS.

Abstract Retirement from sport poses a major socioemotional threat to elite athletes. The present study builds on a growing body of literature examining the vacuum created in an athlete's life after retirement. Grounded theory was used to construct how elite football players dealt with forced retirement owing to injury and deselection. Recursive in-depth interviews were conducted with 30 recently retired players who had competed at the highest level in Australian Rules football. The data were characterized by a rich array of personal reflections of loss and grief that reflected four themes: loss of identity, perceived control, financial issues, and social support. Interviewees typically told stories that were tinged with shock, regret, bitterness, distress, and perceived loss of status.

Abstract Interest in anxiety, stress, and mood in sport has frequently focused on the impact of these variables on performance in sport (Jones, 1995). This body of work has generally defined anxiety and stress in negative terms, and little attention has been directed at the importance of the loss of mood and anxiety stability in sport. The broad purpose of this study was to highlight the importance of the meaning that participants in sport attach to anxiety and other mood states, in part by drawing on theoretical perspectives provided by existential psychology. More specifically, the greater focus on the importance of loss in relation to both the emotional and behavioral lives of individuals in sport represents a departure from concern over levels of mood and anxiety, which has dominated most research in this area. Analysis of both qualitative and quantitative diary data provided over a 28-day period by elite-level netball players and rugby referees revealed that losses in terms of mood stability correlat...
