“…This scale is widely used in the literature and was judged to be a good measure of life events in a review assessing its use over 30 years of research (Scully et al, 2000) and the adult version has test-retest reliability of r=.71 over a six week period (Horowitz et al, 1977). It gathers information about stressful life events that have happened in the last year such as death or divorce of parents, changes in acceptance by peers, and hospitalisation of a sibling.…”

SummaryBackground: Whilst acute stress paradigms in adults make use of adult panel members, similar paradigms modified for child participants have not manipulated the panel.Most work has utilised an audience of adult confederates, regardless of the age of the population being tested. The aim of this study was to trial a social stress test for children that provided a meaningful environment using age-matched child peers as panel actors.Methods: Thirty-three participants (7-11 years) underwent the Bath Experimental Stress Test for Children (BEST-C). Based on the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST), it comprises a shortened six-minute public speaking task and four-minute maths challenge. It differs from previous stress tests by using age-matched children on the panel, pre-recorded and presented as a live feed, and includes an expanded manipulation check of subjective experience. Salivary cortisol was assessed at four time points, pre-post stress testing; life events, daily hassles and coping strategies were measured through questionnaires. A simple numerical coding scheme was applied to post-test interview data. Results:The BEST-C generated a typical stress and adaptation response in salivary cortisol (p=.032). Age and gender differences were observed during recovery. Cortisol responses mapped directly onto three distinct subjective response patterns: i) expected response and recovery; ii) expected response, no recovery; iii) no response. Conclusions:The BEST-C, utilising child confederates of participant target age is a meaningful social stress test for children. This is the first social stress test developed specifically for children that manipulates panel characteristics by using child confederates and a pre-recorded sham panel. Greater cortisol responses to the test were also found to match subjective verbal accounts of the experience. It offers a meaningful acute stress paradigm with potential applications to other child and adolescent age groups. Furthermore, it leads the way in the use of panel manipulation in social stress testing.

“…17 Yet, existing studies that have specifically assessed housing instability over the [2007][2008][2009] recession and alcohol problems have yielded ambiguous results. Data from the previously mentioned Michigan Recession and Recovery Study showed that no forms of housing instability other than homelessness (AOR, 3.05; 95%CI, 1.03, 11.6) were significantly associated with harmful alcohol use at pG0.05.…”

Housing Instability and Alcohol Problems during the 2007–2009 US Recession: the Moderating Role of Perceived Family Support

2013

The 2007-2009 US economic recession was marked by unprecedented rates of housing instability and relatively little is known about how this instability impacted alcohol problems. While previous studies have linked homelessness to increased rates of alcohol use and abuse, housing instability during a recession impacts a much larger segment of the population and usually does not result in homelessness. Using a nationally representative sample of US adults, this study examines the association between housing instability during the recession and alcohol outcomes. Additionally, we assess whether this association is moderated by perceived family support. In multivariate negative binomial regressions, both trouble paying the rent/mortgage (vs. stable housing) and lost (vs. stable) housing were associated with experiencing more negative drinking consequences and alcohol dependence symptoms. However, these associations were moderated by perceived family support. In contrast to those with low perceived family support, participants with high perceived family support reported relatively few alcohol problems, irrespective of housing instability. Furthermore, while job loss was strongly associated with alcohol problems in univariate models, no significant associations between job loss and alcohol outcomes were observed in multivariate models that included indicators of housing instability. Findings point to the importance of the informal safety net and suggest that alcohol screening and abuse prevention efforts should be intensified during periods of recession, particularly among those who experience housing instability.

“…Očito je da sama ličnost, upitnički operacionalizovana u skladu sa reformulisanim Grejovim modelom, nije dovoljna da bi se valjano objasnilo ponašanje osobe pod uticajem stresora. Kao prvo, naša je pretpostavka da bi sistematizacijom stresora nekom objektivnom merom, recimo starom ali pouzdanom Holmes-Raheovom skalom životnih događaja (Scully et al, 2000) ili nekom sličnom merom došlo do drugačijih rezultata u kontekstu nekorigibilnih životnih događaja. Sa druge strane, obezbeđivanjem mere kognitivne efikasnosti, usuđujemo se reći inteligencije ili npr.…”

Istraživanje predstavljeno ovim radom imalo je za cilj sagledavanje strukturalnih sličnosti Grejovog reformulisanog modela osetljivosti na potkrepljenje i Amirkhanovog trokomponentnog modela strategija prevladavanja stresa. U istraživanju je učestvovalo 297 ispitanika, od toga 186 ženskog te 111 muškog pola prosečne starosti 21.5 godinu. Primenjen je Indikator strategija prevladavanja (CSI; Amirkhan, 1990) i Upitnik za procenu osetljivosti na potkrepljenje (UOP; Mitrović, Smederevac i Čolović, 2008). Objedinjena analiza glavnih komponenti nad sumativnim skorovima supskala oba upitnika dala je tri nekorelirane komponente koje ukupno objašnjavaju 68.81% varijanse, od kojih prva okuplja izbegavajuće strategije prevladavanja, te anksioznost, borbu i blokiranje, dok se druge dve komponente okupljaju isključivo strategije prevladavanja, odnosno varijable ličnosti. Konfirmatornom faktorskom analizom testirano je ukupno šest modela od kojih poslednja dva ostvaruju najbolje indikatore fita. Dobijeni nalazi obezbeđuju nedvosmislenu potvrdu povezanosti jedino dimenzije anksioznosti i izbegavajućih strategija prevladavanja, ali je dodatnim analizama otkrivena i blago pozitivna relacija strategije traženja socijalne podrške i impulsivnosti kao manifestacije sistema bihejvioralne aktivacije, koja je njihovim pojedinačnim korelacijama sa supsistemom Borbe bila maskirana. Generalno, možemo zaključiti da strategije izbegavanja i traženja socijalne podrške dele prostor merenja sa dimenzijama ličnosti, dok se strategija usmerenosti na problem zbog svoje specifične upitničke operacionalizacije izoluje kao specifičan konstrukt. Smatramo da bi uključivanje seta mera kognitivne efikasnosti u postojeći nacrt dalo potpuniju sliku o bazičnoj dinamici latentnog prostora ovih konstrukata.Ključne reči: Staregije prevladavanja stresa, Teorija osetiljivosti na potkreplenje, konfirmativna faktorska analiza
