Attitudes Towards Mental Health, Spiritual Seeking, And Well-Being, David Mitchell
Attitudes Towards Mental Health, Spiritual Seeking, And Well-Being, David Mitchell
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Religion plays a crucial role in many peoples’ lives, shaping the way they interact with the world and react to stressors. The Relational Spirituality Model (Sandage & Shults, 2007) posits that individuals’ relationship with God resembles humans’ relationships with one another.

Previous literature has analyzed the relationship between spiritual coping and well-being, yet none have analyzed the relationship between spiritual seeking and overall well-being using attitudes towards mental health as a moderator. Participants were 84 undergraduate …

The Impact Of Childhood Trauma And Personality On Kinkiness In Adulthood, Kaitlyn Hillier
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Historically, kinky sexualities and sexual behaviors have been understood as pathological or perverse.

The Stigma Of Mental Illness, Ambivalent Attitudes, And Motivation To Learn, Jennifer Moore
Honors Capstone Projects - All
Prior research has demonstrated that much of the stigma of mental illness falls under the category of ambivalence.

On the positive end, they may feel sympathetic toward these individuals, as they understand they are not responsible for their illnesses. On the negative side, they may also believe these individuals are more unpredictable and dangerous than their mentally healthy counterparts. These ambivalent attitudes subsequently result in a feeling of uneasiness, as people feel more comfortable when …
