Cultural diversity in causal attributions for illness: The role of the supernaturalJournal of Behavioral Medicine - Tập 17 - Trang 181-193 - 1994
Hope Landrine, Elizabeth A. Klonoff
We investigated cultural diversity in beliefs about the causes of illness and assessed the possibility that popular free-form methodologies (asking subjects to generate causes) inhibit minorities from expressing their belief in supernatural causes. As predicted, when asked to generate causes of illness and rate these in terms of their importance, whites and minorities did not differ in the number ...... hiện toàn bộ

Given that coming from a highly traditional Black...... hiện toàn bộ

Stefan Schneider, Anne Moyer, Sarah Knapp-Oliver, Stephanie Sohl, Dolores Cannella, Valerie Targhetta
This meta-analysis examined whether effects of psychosocial interventions on psychological distress in cancer patients are conditional upon pre-intervention distress levels. Published articles and unpublished dissertations between 1980 and 2005 were searched for interventions reporting the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) or the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI).
