And Coping

Fears warn and keep people away from threats to their lives and health. But sometimes fears are redundant and make people overcautious. Sense of fear is often driven by uncertainty or inability to control over the situation. The latter causes teenagers to worry and be afraid for health and possible negative outcomes of diseases of their loved ones as well as a need to carry responsibility also frightens them. The named fears prevail among the young generation in the beginning of the 21st century. Coping-strategies help people to be in control of their phobias, stress and other triggers of anxiety. Current paper is devoted to finding connections between fears and coping-strategy to fight them. Low tension proves adaptive application of coping-strategies, while high tension signals about their maladaptive use. Maladaptive strategies do not adequately deal with the case and fail to cope with anxiety. The most stressful strategy for school and university students to take is «Accepting Responsibility». «Self-control» (for school students) and «Approach to problem solving» (for university students) are also on the list. Decrease in anxiety level is followed by using fewer high-tension coping strategies. Students may turn to their phobias as passive coping-strategies in cases when the known methods fail to take effect. Fear mobilizes defense mechanisms and supplementary resources to protect one from anxiety.

Alternative Form

The principal objective of this research was to examine the value of thinking styles and that of defense mechanisms by identifying the predictive power of thinking styles for defense mechanisms, controlling for key demographics and social desirability. The preliminary objective was to construct and test an alternative form of the Defense Mechanisms Inventory (DMI-AF). Three hundred and thirty-eight university students from mainland China responded to the DMI-AF, the Thinking Styles Inventory—Revised II, and the Paulhus Deception Scales. Results showed that the psychometric properties of the 4-vignette Likert-scaled DMI-AF were similar to those previously obtained by using the original 10-vignette DMI in both forced-choice and Likert-scaled formats. When age, gender, academic discipline, and social desirability were taken into account, thinking styles significantly predicted defense mechanisms—largely in the expected directions. Implications of the findings are discussed for university students and academics.

Polish Version

The Polish version of the Toronto Alexithymia Scale–20 and Defense Mechanisms Questionnaire were completed by 387 university students. Scores on alexithymia correlate significantly with scores on the whole group of 12 immature defenses (Pearson r = .39, p<.001) and with scores on such individual immature defense mechanisms as Autistic Fantasy ( r = .39), Somatization ( r = .37), Projection ( r = .32), and Displacement ( r = .32). These results support other findings indicating that alexithymia is significantly associated with immature ego defenses.

Conducting Airways

The ciliated cells lining the conducting airways of mammals are integral to the defense mechanisms of the respiratory tract, functioning in coordination with secretory cells in the removal of inhaled and cellular debris. The effects of various infectious and toxic agents on the structure and function of airway epithelial cell cilia have been studied in our laboratory, both of which have been shown to affect ciliary ultrastructure.These observations have led to questions about ciliary regeneration as well as the possible induction of ciliogenesis in response to cellular injury. Classical models of ciliogenesis in the conducting airway epithelium of the mammalian respiratory tract have been based primarily on observations of the developing fetal lung. These observations provide a plausible explanation for the embryological generation of ciliary beds lining the conducting airways but do little to account for subsequent differentiation of ciliated cells and ciliogenesis during normal growth and development.

Parasites are linked to the decline of some bee populations; thus, understanding defense mechanisms has important implications for bee health. Recent advances have improved our understanding of factors mediating bee health ranging from molecular to landscape scales, but often as disparate literatures. Here, we bring together these fields and summarize our current understanding of bee defense mechanisms including immunity, immunization, and transgenerational immune priming in social and solitary species. Additionally, the characterization of microbial diversity and function in some bee taxa has shed light on the importance of microbes for bee health, but we lack information that links microbial communities to parasite infection in most bee species. Studies are beginning to identify how bee defense mechanisms are affected by stressors such as poor-quality diets and pesticides, but further research on this topic is needed. We discuss how integrating research on host traits, microbial partners, and nutrition, as well as improving our knowledge base on wild and semi-social bees, will help inform future research, conservation efforts, and management.

Abstract. Music video (MV) content is frequently measured using researcher descriptions. This study examines subjective or viewers’ notions of sex and violence. 168 university students watched 9 mainstream MVs. Incidence counts of sex and violence involve more mediating factors than ratings. High incidents are associated with older viewers, higher scores for Expressivity, lower scores for Instrumentality, and with video orders beginning with high sex and violence. Ratings of sex and violence are associated with older viewers and lower scores for Instrumentality. For sex MVs, inexperienced viewers reported higher incidents and ratings. Because MVs tend to be sexier but less violent than TV and film, viewers may also use comparative media standards to evaluate emotional content MVs.
