Physical Limitation and Anger

Abstract

Is there a relationship between physical limitation and anger proneness? And, if so, is this relationship conditioned by associated differences in stress exposure and the availability of psychosocial coping resources? We explore these questions using data from a two-wave panel study including a representative sample of persons with and without physical limitations (N = 1,473). Results of longitudinal change analysis demonstrate that physical limitation is associated with an increased tendency to both experience and express anger. Findings also reveal that this association is largely accounted for by variations in the experience of discrimination and differences in the psychosocial coping resources of mastery and self-esteem

Do Religious Struggles Mediate the Association between Day-to-Day Discrimination and Depressive Symptoms?

“…For over two decades, numerous studies have shown that discrimination experiences-interpersonal abuse and injustice-can contribute to poorer mental health, including higher levels of anger, hostility, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, depression, paranoia, post-traumatic stress disorder, somatization, and non-specific psychological distress (Alvarez and Juang 2010;Borders and Liang 2011;Brown et al 2000;Brown and Turner 2012;Feinstein et al 2012;Fischer and Holz 2007;Gayman and Barragan 2013;Gee et al 2006Gee et al , 2007Jackson et al 1995;Keith et al 2010;Kessler et al 1999;Lee and Turney 2012;Miller et al 2013;Moradi and Hasan 2004;Mossakowski 2003;Noh and Kaspar 2003;Paradies et al 2015;Pascoe and Richman 2009;Schulz et al 2006;Steffen and Bowden 2006;Taylor and Turner 2002;Vaghela and Sutin 2016; including social support, a sense of meaning, purpose, and direction for one's life, an environment that fosters the development of virtue, and perhaps even a close, personal relationship with God. However, problems can arise in any of these areas, creating stumbling blocks that can create personal distress: .…”

Mental Rehabilitation Based on Emotion Regulation Training to Reduce Depression in Students With Physical Disability

“…Physical disability is a type of disability. It is defined as an impairment that restricts one or more major life activities in an individual [4].

Improvement of Subjective Well-Being in Students With Physical Disability: Mental Rehabilitation Based on Teaching Emotion Regulation Skills

“…It is also an umbrella term covering impairments, limitations, and participation restrictions (Lucas-Carrasco et al, 2011) and causes body malfunctions (Aurora, 2014) depriving the participation of a person in social and personal life (Salehi, Tavakol, Shabani, & Ziaei, 2015). One of these disabilities is a physical disability, defined as damage which limits significant activities of a person's life (Brown & Turner, 2012). Physical disability, part of a wide range of disabilities, include people who have been defeated in using one of the organs or parts of the body for at least six months (Bahrampour, Ghamari, & Amiri Majd, 2014).…”

“…A physical disability is among such disabilities which restricts the disabled person (Brown & Turner, 2012). According to WHO statistics, nearly 10,000,000 of the world population are physically disabled, two-thirds of whom live in the developing countries (Bahrampour et al, 2014).…”
