Ecosystem observation, processes and dynamics

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Ecosystem based fisheries management (EBFM) is a coordinated management process that considersoutcomes and risks from management decisions over a wide range of ecological, economic and socialobjectives. Despite its recognized importance, implementation of EBFM in fisheries has lagged.Fishery Ecosystem Planning (FEP) is a tool to better ensure that the promises of EBFM can be met.FEPs can allow for improved coordination of decisions across fishery sectors, ensure that cumulativeecosystem impacts are considered, identify externalities that threaten or augment fisheriesproductivity, and provide guidance and recommended procedures for how the ecosystemconsiderations are included in decision-making. Critically, an FEP should make EBFM actionable. Forthat reason, it should clearly specify the rules, processes, and considerations that govern fisheriesmanagement decisions. We have convened a panel with broad expertise to provide a blueprint forfisheries ecosystem planning with the goal of fostering the adoption of ecosystem principles intofisheries management. The task force is relying on collective experiences – both successes andfailures – around the world to highlight the science tools, policy instruments, and governancestructures that can be used for EBFM, and to provide a framework for choosing among them.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The purpose of Fishery Ecosystem Plans (FEPs) is to enhance species-specific managementprograms by incorporating broader ecosystem considerations and goals, such as minimizinginteractions between protected species and fishing gear. Incorporating techniques to minimizeinteractions in an FEP first requires a clear definition of the conservation metric, and then anunderstanding of the biological and economic tradeoffs of different alternatives designed toachieve the metric. In this analysis I explore the biological tradeoffs of two differentmitigation approaches, spatial closures or bycatch reduction devices (BRDs), designed tominimize interactions of loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) in bottom trawl fisheriesoperating in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic during 2009-2013. Five hypothetical mitigation strategieswere evaluated versus the status quo with regards to estimated turtle interactions and mortalitythat would result from each strategy, by simulating conditions in the commercial fishery andapplying an empirical interaction rate model to each simulation. Results of the analysissuggest that the benefit of each measure will depend on whether the conservation metric isdefined based on reductions in interactions or based on mortalities. Furthermore, the level ofbenefit of either mitigation strategy will depend on factors such as its spatial and temporaldesign, the magnitude and distribution of effort displacement, the spatial distribution ofobserved loggerhead life stages, and the assumed survival rate of turtles passing throughBRDs. This presentation highlights some factors to consider when incorporating protectedspecies conservation objectives into FEPs and how they can be evaluated with fisherydependent data.
Working memory and human reasoning : an individual differences approach
Creators: name: Capon, Alison Jayne
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2000

description: Experiments 1-3 investigated the relationship between working memory and syllogistic and five-ten-n series spatial inference. A secondary aim was to replicate the findings of Shah and Miyake (1996) who suggested the use of separate central resources of working memory for spatial and verbal ability. The correlational analysis showed that the complex verbal and spatial working memory span tasks were associated together and consistently predicted reasoning performance in both verbal and visual modalities. The confirmatory factor analysis showed that three factors best accounted for the data -a verbal, a spatial, and a general resource. All the span tasks and most of the reasoning tasks significantly and consistently loaded the general factor. Experiments 4-6 investigated the relationship between working memory and a range of reasoning tasks - identified as either propositional. spatial, or quantifiable tasks. These experiments were based on the work of Stanovich and West (1998) who found that a range of reasoning tasks were predicted by cognitive ability and a reasoner's thinking style. The correlational anaylsis showed that the complex verbal and spatial working memory span tasks were associated together and consistently predicted reasoning perforinance. Two clusters of reasoning task emerged from the correlational analysis - one cluster related to the propositional and simple spatial reasoning tasks, whilst the other related to the quantifiable and complex spatial reasoning tasks. The confin-natory factor analysis showed that four factors best accounted for the data -a verbal, a spatial, a general, and a thinking style resource. All the span tasks and the reasoning tasks loaded the general factor, and most of the reasoning tasks further loaded the thinking disposition factor. These results are discussed in light of models of workino memory, theories of reasoning, and how to best characterise factor 3 (executive function) and factor 4 (thinking style) from tile factor analysis.

description: Merged with duplicate record 10026.1/1983 on 07.20.2017 by CS (TIS)
description: This thesis investigates the factors which are suggested to affect perceptions of genetically modified (GM) foods. It first tests the extent to which the components of the Theory of Planned Behaviour and perceived `outrage' are able to predict intentions towards buying GM foods using linear regression. It then focuses on how GM label design characteristics and linguistic variations influence perceptions of GM foods including measures of hazard perception and purchase intention using ANOVA repeated measures. Modelling is then used to identify whether label variations affect the components of the Theory of Planned Behaviour, namely attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control or whether their effect is by some other psychological process. As a result of the first six studies a model is proposed to explain the psychological process by which GM label variations affect behavioural intention for a specified product. The last two studies investigate the extent to which the previous findings generalise across products type using four different product types, two natural and two synthetic. The principle finding from this research is that some GM informational label design factors such as GM content, wording and use of the colour red have a strong stable effect across product type, whilst others such as label shape and font size are less consistent. The modelling suggests that GM label variations affect attitudes in particular, and to some extent subjective norms and perceived behavioural control which are then predictive of the behavioural intention. to buy GM foods. This thesis provides recommendations for those wishing to inform the public about the GM status of their product.
THE ROLE OF EXPECTATIONS IN DETERMINING CAREGIVER WELL-BEING
Creators: name: Foote, Kathryn Jane
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1993

description: In recent years there has been a growing body of literature regarding the experiences and well-being of people providing care to a relative with dementia. There is some evidence within this literature that sub-groups of caregivers respond differently to the caregiving situation. In particular, findings have tended to suggest that women caregivers experience more burden and distress than men ( eg Gilhooly, 1984a; Gilleard et al , 1984) , and that spouses of the care recipient experience more burden and distress as carers than children (eg George & Gwyther, 1986; Gilhooly, 1984a). Various explanations have been postulated, one of which focuses on caregivers' expectations of themselves in providing care: it has been speculated that women may have higher expectations of themselves (eg Schnoover et al, 1988), due to a sense that in providing care they are fulfilling an appropriate or anticipated role. It is suggested here that a similar argument may be extended to spousal caregivers. This study, then, aimed to investigate the levels of expectation of 27 caregivers, and any role this factor may play in determining levels of burden and distress. Differences between the expectations of women and men, and spousal and child caregivers were also investigated, as was the effect of expectations on the use of social support. Contrary to hypotheses, it was found that expectation levels were inversely related to levels of burden, and there were no differences between sub-groups. There was evidence of differentia1use of support for caregivers with different levels of expectation: those with higher expectations of themselves reporting the availability of more informal supports, but lower frequency of contact with services than those with lower expectations. The results provide a characterisation of the more burdened caregivers being those who have lower expectations of themselves to provide care, who are less involved in caregiving and receive more support in the role. Potential explanations for these findings are discussed, limitations imposed by the methodology of the study are outlined and clinical implications of the present results are considered,

LEARNING DISABILITY STAFF AND AGGRESSION FROM CLIENTS
Creators: name: Ivens, Mary
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1993

description: This study was designed to investigate whether provision of information, in the form of a leaflet, about issues surrounding aggression and violence at work would lower anxiety about aggression and increase confidence in dealing with aggression, in care staff working in learning disability. A brief evaluation of the leaflet was carried out, and measures taken to establish whether information was assimilated from the leaflet. Also investigated were other feelings that care staff had about aggression at work. An information leaflet entitled "Preventing and coping with an aggressive incident involving a client in your care", and a questionnaire entitled "Aggressive incidents involving a client at work" were constructed. The questionnaire incorporated a scale for measuring 'Confidence in dealing with aggression'. 53 care staff, working in residential homes for people with learning disabilities, completed pre and post-intervention Spielberger State-Trait Form Y-1 questionnaires, and "Aggressive incidents involving a client at work" questionnaires. Results were analysed using analysis of variance, t-tests and Pearson's product moment correlation. No differences were found in levels of anxiety or confidence in dealing with aggression between two experimental groups and a control group, pre and post-intervention, but a significant difference was found in levels of anxiety within the groups pre and post-intervention. The leaflet was evaluated positively, but information was not assimilated. These and other findings are discussed in relation to present practice and implications for future research.

INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES IN SECRETORY IMMUNOGLOBULIN A (S-IgA) REACTIVITY TO ACUTE STRESS
Creators: name: WETHERELL, MARK ANTHONY
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2002

description: Secretory immunoglobulin-A (S-IgA) is an antibody found on all surfaces of the common mucosa and serves as a first line of defence against pathogens. S-IgA is the predominant antibody in human secretions and unlike many other immune parameters, can be measured non-invasively in saliva. In addition to being an efficient indicator of health status, S-IgA levels are sensitive to variations in subjective and objective levels of stress, both of which are also influenced by state and trait factors. Stress is known to play an important role in susceptibility to infections of the common mucosa, and as such, the role of S-IgA as a potential moderating variable between stress and health is of increasing clinical importance. This thesis assessed the roles of retrospectively reported health status (minor health complaints) and state and trait factors upon levels of S-IgA following acute stress (S-IgA reactivity). Stress was manipulated using a multi-tasking performance battery, which unlike other laboratory based stressors is analogous to a variety of working environments. In a series of studies (3), S-IgA reactivity was observed following the stressor on one occasion, two occasions (24 hours apart) and following repeated stress on one occasion (cumulative acute stress). Volunteers classified as in poor health using a specifically designed health questionnaire, demonstrated consistently reduced S-IgA reactivity when compared to volunteers classified as being in good health. Furthermore, the discrepancy in S-IgA reactivity between good and poor health volunteers was most evident following cumulative acute stress. That is, poor health volunteers demonstrated progressive reductions in S-IgA reactivity as the accumulation of stress became greater. Volunteers in poor health were also characterised by negative state and trait characteristics, which in addition, were also independently associated with reduced S-IgA reactivity to acute stress. The findings indicate that negative state and trait characteristics are associated with reduced S-IgA reactivity to acute stress, levels of which influence post-stress susceptibility to illness. Further, deleterious effects of acute stress are most apparent in poor health volunteers following cumulative acute stress analogous with the stressors encountered in a variety of working environments.

Ecosystem observation, processes and dynamics

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Fish stock productivity, and thereby sensitivity to harvesting, depends on physical (e.g., ocean climate) and biological (e.g., prey availability, competition and predation) processes in the ecosystem. The combined impacts of such ecosystem processes and fisheries have lead to stock collapses across the world. While traditional fisheries managment focuses on harvest rates and stock biomass, incorporating the impacts of such ecosystem processes are one of the main pillars of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM). Although EAFM has been widely adopted since the 1990s, little is currently known to what extent ecosystem drivers of fish stock productivity, reflecting the relevant ecosystem processes, are actually implemented in fisheries management. Based on worldwide review of more than 1200 marine fish stocks, we found that such ecosystem drivers were implemented in the tactical management of only 26 stocks. Most of these were in the North Atlantic and Northeast Pacific, where the scientific support is strong. However, the diversity of ecosystem drivers implemented, and in the approaches taken, suggests that implementation is largely a bottom-up process driven by a few dedicated experts. Our results demonstrate that tactical fisheries management is still predominantly single-species oriented taking little direct account of ecosystem processes. Thus, while the ecosystem approach is highlighted in policy, key aspects of it tend yet not to be implemented in actual fisheries management.
ARE MALE SEXUAL OFFENDERS NORMAL MEN, OR CAN THEY BE VIEWED AS A DEVIANT SUB-GROUP OF MEN?
Creators: name: Price, Edwin
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1997

description: This study investigated whether sexual offenders were measurably different from nonoffenders on a battery of self-report questionnaires. The study was designed to test four aims: 1. To test the validity of the self-report methodology. 2. To test the effectiveness of the treatment given to sex offenders. 3. To test for differences between the offender's before and after their treatment with the nonoffenders. 4. To test the differences of the psychological profiles between the offender samples and the nonoffenders. The four aims were related to divergent positions held in the literature on sexual offenders. One position in the literature views sex offenders as deviant. The second position views sex offenders as normal men. Thornton's (1992) battery of self-report questionnaires was given to three samples. A dependent sample of offenders, (n=31 ), before and after their treatment and an independent sample of nonoffenders, (n=l6). The results were analysed using Kendall's tau-b for aim one. For aims 2 and 3, t-tests were employed. For the profile analysis, aim 4, multivariate and univariate ANOV AS were employed. The balance of the results favoured the deviancy position. Differences were measurable between the three samples. The nonoffenders have significantly different psychological profiles compared to the offender samples. The treatment received by the offender's is shown to be effective for key attitudes and beliefs that should reduce the risk of reoffending. The treatment does have some failings. The failings are in more indirectly related attitudes and may be a result of design weaknesses. The findings show the need to understand nonoffenders more in order to place offenders attitudes in a culturally normative context.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Ecosystem-Based Fishery Management (EBFM) has been discussed as a necessity for the viablemanagement of marine resources. However the concept remains difficult to implement despiteincreasing need for ecosystem-based management in the face of multiple anthropogenic andenvironmental stressors. In eastern Tasmania, the valuable abalone and southern rock lobster fisheriesare threatened by formation of sea urchin barrens as a result of overgrazing by the sea urchin(Centrostephanus rodgersii). This circumstance arises from the combined effects of (1) the sea urchinextending its range to eastern Tasmania as a result of ocean warming and shifts in oceanography, and(2) ecological overfishing of its key predator in Tasmania, the southern rock lobster. We developedtwo independent simulation models that capture the dynamics of the kelp-urchin-lobster system toassess management strategies. The models show that management to prevent urchin barrens formingis far more achievable than rehabilitating extensive barrens, and they provide clear guidance of targetsand alternatives for different levels of risk of loss of kelp beds. Largely as a result of this work, recentchanges to management of lobsters have focused on rebuilding biomass. This is one of the few cases ofEBFM in practice, informed by modelling complex non-linear dynamics.
Judgement Analysis of Patient Management: General Practitioners' Policies and Self-Insight.
Creators: name: HARRIES, CLARE
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1995

description: In this thesis judgement analysis (multiple linear regression techniques) was used to look at both GPs' decisions to prescribe certain types of drug for patients and their judgements of patients' risk of coronary heart disease. All of these were idiographic analyses in that decision making by each GP was modelled separately. Judgement analysis (paramorphically) describes a subject's judgement or decision making policy in terms of the relative influence of different pieces of information. The amount of information subjects could take into account was limited. For all types of judgement or decision doctors were influenced on average by only four of the thirteen or twelve cues available. The decision to prescribe one of the types of drug was modelled not only in terms of the individual effects of cues (judgement analysis) but also in terms of the influence of the doctor's assessment of the patient's risk. Doctors agreed more about judgements of risk and the factors influencing this than about prescription. Doctors only prescribed to patients they rated as at high risk but factors such as for example smoking behaviour led some doctors not to prescribe to individuals in this group. Judgement and decision making policies (explicit policies) were also elicited verbally from doctors. These showed greater agreement than the policies captured using judgement analysis (tacit policies) did. When these explicit policies were compared to tacit policies a moderate amount of correspondence was found. However, doctors tended to over-rate the importance of certain cues. A number of explanations for this pattern of self-insight were investigated including the possibilities that doctors have self-insight but are unable to state it and that the pattern was an artefact of linear modelling. Both of these hypotheses were rejected. Subjects' explicit policies were found to resemble the pattern of selection of information more than the pattern of its use. Both the hypotheses that subjects' explicit policies were based on phenomenal knowledge and that they are based on some ideal model (influencing which cues are selected) were supported.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Scientists and managers currently accept ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) as key to theconservation of marine natural resources. However, implementation of EBFM to manage fisheries haslagged behind this acceptance. One objective of the Lenfest Ecosystem Task Force is to identify newapproaches to fill gaps in the implementation of EBFM. An important step to reaching this goal is toidentify case studies where EBFM would be beneficial, in order to classify common classes of EBFMapplication in the U.S. and globally. Enlisting the expertise of the task force members, we compiled casestudies from the Mid-Atlantic, North Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, California Current, North Pacific, ScotianShelf, Eastern Baltic Sea, Southeast Australia, and Antarctica. For each case study, task force membersidentified the key fisheries, how the case would benefit from EBFM, the key social and political aspects,and the EBFM topics (trophic interactions, climate, etc.) exemplified by the case study. These collectivecase studies will reveal common approaches that will help in the implementation of EBFM.
Studies into Amphetamine-Induced Unconditioned Behaviour in the Rat.
Creators: name: McHale, Susan Lesley
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1994

description: Previous work on the unconditioned effects of amphetamine in rats has examined qualitative changes in behaviours which become stereotyped and quantitative changes in locomotion. Stereotyped behaviours have been adopted as a model of raised caudate-putameri function whilst locomotion has been adopted as a model of raised mesolimbic dopamine function. These models have been used to study drugs which are effective in the treatment of schizophrenia. Only locomotion is reliably antagonised by all classes of antipsychotic drugs, although it has been hypothesised that, under some doses of amphetamine, locomotion may also become stereotyped. The Lyon-Robbins hypothesis of the behavioural effects of amphetamine predicts competition between the output of the mesolimbic and caudate-putamen, and would predict that stereotyped locomotion represents a 'blending' of mesolimbic and caudate-putamen behavioural output. An experiment was conducted to test the Lyon-Robbins hypothesis using contrast-based image analysis to determine the spatio-temporal characteristics of open-field locomotion. A further four experiments examined the effects of a classic antipsychotic (haloperidol), the atypical antipsychotics (clozapine and sulpiride) and a putative antipsychotic (a 5-HT3 antagonist, ondansetron) on open-field locomotor routes taken by rats following treatment with 3.5mg/kg amphetamine. Measures of stereotyped locomotion derived from image analysis were supported by a novel form of behavioural analysis based on multi-dimensional scaling which provided an integrated analysis of behavioural change following drug treatment. Haloperidol blocked locomotion and stereotyped behaviours including stereotyped locomotion, whereas clozapine, sulpiride and ondansetron blocked locomotion but not stereotyped locomotion and in some cases increased stereotyped behaviours. This suggests that stereotyped locomotion represents synergistic functioning of both mesolimbic and caudate-putamen systems, when the output from the caudate-putamen is insufficient to over-ride that of the mesolimbic system. Antagonism of a 5-HT3 enhancement of mesolimbic locomotor activity by ondansetron allowed latent 5-HT and dopamine mediated behaviours to be expressed. This effectively mimicked a leftwards shift of the amphetamine dose response curve, hypothesised as amplification of the caudate-putamen output. These findings lend support to the Lyon-Robbins hypothesis of the behavioural effects of amphetamine.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Ecosystem Approaches to Fisheries (EAF) are intended to ensure that the planning, development, and management of fisheries will meet social and economic needs, without jeopardizing the options for future generations to benefit from the full range of goods and services provided by marine ecosystems. Achieving this purpose requires addressing components of ecosystems within a geographic area in a more holistic manner than is used in classical target resource-oriented management approaches. It requires identifying [geographically] exploited ecosystems together with explicit recognition of the many, and often competing, human interests in fisheries and marine ecosystems. As part of its 'Roadmap to EAF', the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) is developing a 3-tiered hierarchical process to define sustainable exploitation levels (Tier 1: ecosystem sustainability, Tier 2: multispecies sustainability, Tier 3: stock sustainability), and it is in the process of defining ecosystem units that can be used for implementing EAF. These units are expected to be the basis for ecosystem-level management areas, and are being used for estimating total fisheries production potential at those spatial scales (Tier 1). Here we propose that maps of biological traits can be used to identify areas according to dominant ecological function, which can provide a detailed spatial framework for incorporating benthic ecosystem function into the assessment of ecosystem state (Tier 1). Identification of the environmental determinants for each ecological function could also allow evaluating responses of the function to fishing and future climate change.

description: Five studies are described, examining the validity of the Palmar Sweat Index (PSI) as an alternative to traditional measures of electrodermal activity (EDA). A review of research using the PSI identified tour topics which needed to be addressed, before the PSI could be accepted as an alternative to measures of EDA. The first of these topics concerns the reliability of the PSI. A preliminary analysis confirmed that the PSI could be scored reliably. The second topic to be examined, was the relationship between the PSI and measures of EDA. The PSI was found to correlate significantly with several parameters of EDA. These results provide some support for models of EDA involving a single effector. More importantly, the PSI response was observed to show rapid recovery, and in one study the PSI was observed to show adaptation over the course of the session, while skin conductance level did not. The difference in the temporal patterning of the responses shown by the two measures provides an explanation for previous reports of a dissociation between the PSI and EDA. The final topics to be examined concerned the effects of psychological stress and anxiety, respectively, on the PSI. Stressful cognitive tasks were observed to lead to increased palmar sweating. Previous claims that the PSI may decrease in response to stress were not supported. More ecologically-valid stressors were less consistently associated with elevated levels of sweat gland activity. There was some support for a relationship between the PSI and experienced anxiety. It is suggested that this may explain the raised sweat gland activity observed during stressful tasks. Data are also presented from three collaborative studies. This data was collected by other workers and demonstrates the utility of the PSI for applied clinical research.

THEORY OF MIND IN CHILDREN WITH AUTISM: IS THERE A NEED FOR BETTER TESTS OF WHAT THEY KNOW?
Creators: name: PROTO, ALEX KAREN

Year: 1999

description: This research looked at the ability of children with autism to understand theory of mind. This is the ability to attribute mental states (e.g. believing, thinking, knowing etc.) to oneself and to others. The main aim of the study was to provide evidence, contrary to a large body of previous research, that individuals with autism can exhibit a theory of mind, when the standard tests used in the past are simplified for this population. A further aim of the study was to show that language ability is significant in terms of theory of mind task performance. It was hypothesised, because of the nature of the theory of mind tasks, that matching participants in terms of their understanding of grammar, rather than single word understanding (as in past research), would be more appropriate. Three groups took part in the study; autistic, learning disabled and normally developing children. The learning disabled and normally developing participants were selected to match the subjects with autism, in terms of receptive verbal age, on either the British Picture Vocabulary Scale (BPVS) or the Test for Reception of Grammar (TROG) or both. All the participants were given two first order theory of mind tasks; the standard 'Sally-Anne' task, which has been used in past research, and a simplified cartoon version of this task designed by the author. These first order tasks test the ability to consider another person's thoughts about an objective event. Those participants who passed one of the first order tasks were then given three second order theory of mind tasks. These test the ability to consider another person's thoughts about a third person's thoughts regarding an objective event. The second order tasks consisted of the standard 'Ice-Cream Man task' (used in past research), Sullivan, Zaitchik and Tager-Flusberg's (1994) simplified 'Puppy task' and a simplified cartoon version of the task designed by the author. A significant difference in performance was found between the three participant groups (matched on the BPVS) on the standard first order task, but not on the simplified first order task. A significant difference in performance was found between the participant groups on the standard Ice-Cream Man task and the Puppy task, when matched on the BPVS, but not when matched on the TROG. In addition no significant difference in performance was found between the autistic and learning disabled participants on any of the theory of mind tasks. These findings are discussed in relation to other explanations of autism such as the salient object hypothesis and executive function.
INVESTIGATING ROLE STRAIN, COPING AND SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING IN COMBINING MULTIPLE ROLES

description: This thesis investigates some of the salient factors involved in women's experience of combining and coping with multiple roles. A total of four studies are undertaken using both quantitative and qualitative methods to progressively focus on those factors which are identified as particularly relevant. Consequently, data is gathered using diary, interview and questionnaire methods in order to cast light upon the precise nature of the relationship between combining multiple roles, reported life satisfaction, coping and personality. In addition to identifying which particular role combinations lead to the greatest conflict, the research also clarifies the optimum number of role demands associated with reports of high life satisfaction. In so doing, the thesis provides support for the Scarcity Hypothesis as well as supplying detail about the precise nature of the role combinations associated with high and low life satisfaction. The implications of these findings for advising women on role combinations are considered. The nature of the relationship between certain key role combinations and preferred coping strategies is explored. Results suggest a relationship between certain role strains and particular coping strategies. Emotion-focused coping is preferred for inter-role conflict whereas 'superwoman' coping is more prevalent for role overload. Finally, the relationship between two major personality factors, role strain and coping, is investigated. Individuals with high scores for neuroticism are identified as expressing greater inter-role conflict, and using fewer emotion-focused coping strategies, compared with those with low scores on this scale. The implications of these findings in relation to potential social and therapeutic interventions are discussed and it is proposed that counselling and counter-conditioning might be employed to help change both cognitions and behaviour. The thesis concludes with a reflexive look at findings, issues of contention, avenues for future research, and potential practical implications.
THE INTERRELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COPING STYLES, COGNITIVE APPRAISAL, POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER SYMPTOMS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL REACTIONS IN INDIVIDUALS WITH HAND INJURIES

description: The following study examined the psychological reactions following hand injuries and the interrelationship of coping styles (in particular, emotion-versus problem-focused coping), post-traumatic stress disorder reactions and psychological distress in this client group, compared to a comparison group of individuals with non-traumatically induced hand deformities (primarily Dupuytren's contractures). The hypothesized positive impact of problem-focused coping and negative impact of emotion-focused coping on psychological outcome was also investigated. A total of 25 individuals with hand injuries and 20 individuals with a hand deformity were interviewed. This involved completion of a semi-structured interview plus a range of standardized assessment scales including the COPE (coping inventory), the Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Inventory, the Impact of Event Scale and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD). The majority of hand injury sufferers were seen six days to four weeks after their injury and three participants were seen at a longer duration of injury between 10 months to three years. Individuals were followed up at an average of approximately four months. The results showed significantly higher levels of PTSD symptomatology, anxiety and negative affect (at time 1) and emotional distress (at time 2) in the hand injury group compared to the comparison group. Increased use of emotion-focused coping in the hand injury group at time 2 coincided with differences in appraisal. The hand injury group appraised their injury as more threatening than the comparison group and loss appraisals were their predominant form of appraisal at time 2, whereas challenge appraisals were predominant in the comparison group. Positive associations emerged between both problem- and emotion-focused coping, PTSD symptoms and HAD anxiety and depression scores, although the correlations with emotion-focused coping tended to account for more common variance compared to those with problem-focused coping. Cross-lagged panel correlations indicated a possible causal influence of emotion-focused coping on total PTSD-I scores, intrusion on the Impact of Event Scale and anxiety (providing some support for the negative impact of emotion-focused coping). Analysis also suggested a possible role of problem-focused coping in the onset of anxiety symptoms, in addition to a bi-directional relationship between problem-focused coping and total PTSD-I scores. However, the failure of these results to reach statistical significance cannot provide conclusive evidence for these effects. The findings are discussed in relation to previous research and suggestions are made for future studies.
