Investigation Of The Relationships And Affecting Factors Between Psychological Needs And Attitudes Of Seeking Psychological Help Of Mothers Of Babies Developing Neonatal Jaundice

Objective: This study was carried out to examine the correlation between the psychological needs of mothers of infants with neonatal jaundice and their attitudes towards seeking psychological help and the influencing factors. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted as a correlation seeker in a cross-sectional descriptive design. The sample of the study consisted of the mothers of 70 infants with neonatal jaundice who were treated in the neonatal intensive care unit of a state hospital and a private hospital between November 2017 and March 2018. Personal Information Form, Help Seeking Attitude Scale, and Basic Psychological Needs Scale were used to collect data. In the statistical analysis of the data, Shapiro test, frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests, Spearman's correlation and multiple regression tests, Cronbach's Alpha test were used. The statistical significance level was accepted as p<0.05. Results: The mean age of the mothers participating in the study was 28.84, most of them were high school graduates(45.7%), planned pregnancy(84.3%), developed newborns jaundice after discharge from the hospital(88.6%), thought that they gave adequate care to their baby (74.3%), stated that he spared enough time for his baby(80%). It was determined that 15.8% of the mothers thought that they could not fulfill their motherhood duties well, 40% were unprofitable in this regard, 7.1% thought that their baby was being treated in the hospital because of them, and 44.3% were undecided on this issue. The rate of mothers who think that they should know beforehand that their baby has jaundice is 50%, the rate of those who are undecided is 31.4%. It was determined that feeling the psychological need for relationship/beloning increased the scores of positive attitudes towards seeking psychological help regarding Interpersonal Openness(β=0.46) and Strain(β=0.31) (p<0.05). The positive attitude towards seeking psychological help related to Interpersonal Openness(β=0.30), Social Acceptance(β=0.35) and Feeling Need(β=0.38), and Competence Need(β=0.28) was determined to increase(P<0.05).

A longitudinal exploration of the relationship between interpersonal openness and anger rumination

We conducted a longitudinal exploration of the relationship between anger rumination and interpersonal openness, which is an indigenous interpersonal trait in the Chinese cultural context. Participants were 942 undergraduate university students who completed a survey at 2 time points spaced 6 months apart. Structural equation modeling results showed that interpersonal openness at Time 1 negatively predicted anger rumination at Time 2. In addition, the results of hierarchical linear regression analysis showed that after controlling for the Big Five personality traits at Time 1, interpersonal openness at Time 1 negatively predicted anger rumination at Time 2. These results provide new evidence to suggest that interpersonal openness may be an interpersonal trait that is related to anger rumination. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Hiding From Love: The Repressed Insight in Freud’s Account of Morality

Freud’s account of morality is distinctive, and right, in focusing on unconscious, emotionalized conflict, and specifically on the repression of love as the centre of moral life. However, Freud misunderstands love in drive terms and confuses conscience with the superego. Conscience is actually an immediate moral understanding, an interpersonal openness that the moral normativity of collectivity (values, ideals, etc.) represses. Thus, conscience is the repressed unconscious of the superego, and ‘morality’ not one thing, but a living contradiction. This chapter details how bad conscience differs from superego guilt, how destructive emotions (e.g. jealousy) are in themselves moralized repressions of love, and how Freud’s officially amoral, drive-based accounts of the Oedipus complex and the installation of the superego break down, but can be understood if reconceptualized in the terms proposed here. The chapter elucidates the concrete sense in which openness and love can be conceived as the very heart of moral understanding.

NATIONALITY AS A FACTOR UNDERPINNING STUDENTS’ ATTITUDES TOWARD SEEKING PSYCHOLOGICAL HELP

Student life often involves separating from home, parents and parental support, so for students it, not rarely, presents a quite challenging, difficult and stressful period of life. For these reasons, students become the users of psychological counseling services. The aim of this paper is to explore whether students’ nationality is an important factor contributing to the development of attitudes toward seeking psychological help. As the instrument we used a Scale for Attitudes toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help comprising four subscales: recognition of the need for psychological help, the tolerance of stigma associated with seeking psychological help, interpersonal openness toward somebody else’s problems, and confidence in mental health professionals. The sample consisted of 600 students, coming from three countries: Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Turkey. The research was carried out using an online questionnaire. The results indicate that there are differences between the students of different nationalities, but visible only on the scale of recognition of the need for psychological help, with Croatian students showing the greatest tendency to recognize the need, in contrast to the students from Turkey and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Gender differences were also significant on the subscale of stigma tolerance in all three nationalities, with women obtaining a significantly higher score, while the interaction of nationality and gender was statistically significant for all four variables.

“Provincial Cosmopolitanism” in Late Ottoman Anatolia: An Armenian Shoemaker's Memoir

This paper examines the nature of late Ottoman provincial intercommunal interactions and affiliations as they appear in the memoir of Hovhannes Cherishian (1886–1967), a shoemaker from late Ottoman Marash (present-day Kahramanmaraş, in southeastern Turkey). The paper is situated within the larger discourse of “untold histories” that historians have begun to address in revising the deeply ingrained post-Ottoman nationalist historiographies that dominate both academic and popular discourses. Conventional historiographies have represented former late Ottoman subject communities (e.g., Greek, Jewish, Armenian) as insulated and homogenous proto-nation-states. In the revisionist historiography, the late Ottoman Armenian voice, especially the provincial one, has been noticeably absent. Here I utilize Cherishian's memoir to examine the life and thoughts of one late Ottoman Armenian provincial subject. I focus especially on his treatment of intercommunal interactions in Anatolia and present-day Syria between 1897 and 1922. His accounts of these often extended intercommunal interactions, affiliations, and networks are characterized by intercommunal and interpersonal openness, sympathy, intimacy, and pleasure, even as he presents them side-by-side with descriptions of deportation and death at the hands of the late Ottoman state. I develop the idea of what I call “provincial cosmopolitanism” to conceptualize and represent the disposition, affinity, and process of identity formation that enabled Cherishian to create and operate these interpersonal relationships and networks that propelled his life, a historical condition to which we are not currently privy in most historiographical accounts of the late Ottoman period.
