...ten Have, van Dorsselaer, 2010). Depression is most commonly identified by a low and somber mood that is often accompanied by a lack of energy, low self-esteem, and a loss of pleasure and interest in activities the individual would normally find appealing. It’s a complex disorder that is influenced by a wide array of demographic factors, such as age, gender, social-economic status and ethnicity/nationality (DSM-V, 2013). For example, women are twice more likely to develop depression than men, especially from adolescence through adulthood (Piccinelli & Wilkinson, 2000). Additionally, individual characteristics such as comorbid disorders, social...

...if eating disorders, such as Anorexia and Bulimia, could fall onto a spectrum. As discussed previously in class, the DSM 5 has begun to place disorders onto a spectrum. I believe a spectrum could potentially work for eating disorders. Gender renders important in eating disorders as well -- for females are much more likely to experience an eating disorder than a male. Also among those most often affected include dancers and other performers! Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and perfectionism are common factors seen in patients diagnosed with an eating disorder: another implication. Therefore, it is easy to see how numerous layers play a role in the onset of and diagnosis of an eating disorder. Gender implicates the field’s ability to understand the condition. Much of the research done thus far in the field service females. What about males who experience an eating disorder? What do these men experience and what treatments will work best for their symptoms? Would future research implicate the diagnoses between males and females? I looked up a couple of articles done on men with eating disorders and each tell the same tale of missing research. Again, future studies need to examine the nature of an eating disorder and how it presents based on gender. ...

...Psychological explanations for anorexia nervosa There are many factors that contribute to an individual developing anorexia nervosa such as cultural influences and the media. It has been proven that the Western culture especially has a major influence on especially girls developing AN as they see ‘perfect’ body type ideals on the media so through classical conditioning they associate a skinny body type with success and attractiveness. Gregory et al from The National Diet and Nutrition Survey of Young People reported that 16% of 15-18 are currently on a diet supporting the theory of media portraying perfect body types on TV has a negative impact on especially girls in developing eating disorders and creating a distorted view of the body image. Additionally Jones and Buckingham have found that individuals that have low self-esteem will compare themselves more with idealised images form the media resulting in them developing eating disorders such as AN. Hoek et al have found that it is particularly rare for non-Western cultures to develop AN therefore supporting the fact that culture has a big influence on developing eating disorders. As Western cultures are filled with media portraying skinny models and punishing fatter people in programmes such as embarrassing fat bodies or the biggest loser, this results in people feeling the social pressure in order to fit in also if positive reinforcement is used, so if you lose weight and someone compliments you on it you are more likely to...

OCPD is a persistent personality style corresponding to a kind of rigid, rule-governed perfectionism that can often result in a really bizarre level of neat-freakery. Honestly, probably a level of all-domains personal rigidity far beyond what you're imagining with respect to your-college-roommate-who-was-totally-like-this. OCD is, fundamentally, an anxiety disorder in which distressing intrusive thoughts (obsessions) are coped with by means of often elaborately-ritualized behaviors (compulsions).

...My brother was diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in adolescence. He exhibits the most common theme of obsession, fearing contamination from germs. In an attempt to reduce his anxiety, he will behave compulsively. He may wash his hands until they are raw or take multiple showers a day. Although he realizes his actions are irrational, he cannot stop. With many ashamed and unwilling to admit they have OCD, I wonder how underestimated the number of people with the disorder is. According to a survey taken by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in the early 1980s, more than 2 percent of the population is affected by OCD. This means it is more common than mental illnesses such as panic disorder, bipolar disorder, and...

Hence, the relevant conceptual, theoretical, and empirical work is reviewed, drawing upon correlational, experimental, and qualitative findings. A meta-analysis of procrastination’s possible causes and effects, based on 691 correlations, reveals that neuroticism, rebelliousness, and sensation seeking show only a weak connection. Strong and consistent predictors of procrastination were task aversiveness, task delay, selfefficacy, and impulsiveness, as well as conscientiousness and its facets of self-control, distractibility, organization, and achievement motivation. These effects prove consistent with temporal motivation theory, an integrative hybrid of expectancy theory and hyperbolic discounting. Continued research into procrastination should not be delayed, especially because its prevalence appears to be growing. Keywords: procrastination, irrational delay, pathological decision making, meta-analysis Procrastination is extremely prevalent. Although virtually all of us have at least dallied with dallying, some have made it a way of life. Estimates indicate...

...Demographic aspects a. Family: One of the dominant debates about giftedness relates to whether the specail gifts and talents are from nature or nuture. It is notable that the family provides the breeding ground for the development of these traits (Webb et al, 2007). b. Gender: There are gender differences with gifts; males tend to attain both higher scores and lower scores than females in quantitative reasoning. However, the social expectation of girls with gifts remains critical (Strand et al, 2006). 2. Psychological aspects a. Perfectionism: Gifted students are often found to have perfectionist concerns as they have high standards. Too great an expectation for one’s performance can produce negative effects, leading to avoidance to failure and anxiety (Chan, 2003). b. Underachievement: Unchallenging schoolwork is considered to be one of the common problems for students with gifts. Diezmann and Watters (2006) suggest that, if gifted students are not identified, they tend to adopt a relaxed learning approach as they are not motivated by easy tasks. This might cause serious learning difficulties when they are confronted with complex material...

...The Path to Victory of Pat Summitt Brittany Quay PXS 308 001 15 November 2012 In almost every aspect of the world there is some sort of gender inequality. In most sports the men have many more resources available to them compared to the women. There have been many great coaches and athletes who have overcome the obstacles that the fewer resources have brought on. These athletes or coaches have been successful regardless of the situation. One of these coaches is Patricia Head Summitt. Despite the gender inequalities that are evident in the sport of basketball she has become the greatest coach in the sport. Pat Summitt was born to Richard and Hazel Head on June 14, 1952. She was born in Ashland City, Tennessee. She married R.B. Summitt who she later divorced and together they had one son named Tyler. Pat attended the University of Tennessee at Martin. She majored in physical education and was a member on the women’s basketball team there.

...Many believe that birth order has an effect on personality. It might be one way to gain an understanding of why your family members, friends, and co-workers behave the way they do. The family is the first social system to which a child is exposed so birth order plays a significant role in a child’s life. But birth order does not clarify everything about human behavior, personality is also affected by numerous influences such as tradition, family size, the environment of the upbringing, education, gender, years between children and etc. There are four basic groupings of birth order: the oldest, the only, the middle, and the youngest. Each group has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. The birth order factor is not always precise, but it does give some signs about why people are the way they are. First born children are often looked up to by the other children in the family, and as a result, will automatically take on a role of leadership. They are considered natural born leaders who will take charge, whether on the soccer field or in the classroom, and want everything to be just right. Most first born are perfectionists, this may also mean they struggle to admit when they are wrong. Ambitious, organized, and dominant are other first born traits. Firstborns like to be in control....

...are continuing to fight for equal compensation in the workplace. Sheth and Gould upon studying the gender gap in executive compensation came to this conclusion: “Earlier empirical work on the gender gap in executive compensation using the ExecuComp data found that executive women earned 45% less than executive men, and that roughly ¾ of this gap was explained by two factors, namely that women work in smaller firms and are less likely to be CEO, Chair, or Company President (Bertrand and Hallock 2001). The analysis in this section updates this work. (Sheth and Gould, 2017).” Hypocrisy is a nation that prides itself on equality for all and constantly holds themselves in contrast to other nations with more outwardly obvious inequality towards women, would still continue to allow it’s women to make less than men and repeatedly work to undermine equal rights legislature and women’s rights. The discrimination against women in America may not be as open as other countries, but it is there, insidiously working. Women may have the right to vote in the united states but predominantly decisions being made about them, their wages, their bodies, every facet of their lives are being decided on almost entirely by men. It is the illusion of inclusion, it is the illusion of equality that continues to exist and permeate not just American politics but the lives of every woman in America. The gender pay gap promotes inequality of women compared to men, not just financially, but socially. Even today...
