“…Again, although resource loss was entered in the last step, it proved to be a robust predictor. This finding was consistent with the results of previous research in the literature, which reported that resource loss was related to psychological distress (Lane & Hobfoll, 1992;Shteyn, Schumm, Vodopianova, Hobfoll, & Lilly, 2003;Smith & Freedy, 2000).…”

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic disease, which can lead to considerable psychological distress. The present study evaluated anxiety and depression symptoms for this chronic and painful illness within the framework of the conservation of resources (COR) theory. Coping strategies, coping self-efficacy, religiousness and social support are very important personal resources, which have been found to protect individuals from psychological distress. The aim of the present study was to examine the predictive values of socio-demographic and illness-related variables, perceived social support, ways of coping, religiousness, arthritis self-efficacy and resource loss for psychological distress in a sample of 117 RA patients from Turkey, a secular, Islamic, non-western developing country. The results revealed that RA patients experience considerable anxiety and depressive symptoms. The results of the regression analysis showed that gender, helplessness coping and resource loss are significant predictors of anxiety, whereas arthritis self-efficacy and resource loss are significant predictors of depression. Resource loss appeared as an important predictor for both anxiety and depression. This finding was consistent with the COR theory. The clinical implications of these findings are discussed.

“…However, no significant group differences were found for anxiety and stress symptoms, even though the values of the positive variables—described as significant predictors of anxiety and stress in earlier studies [41,81]–were higher in the Facebook user group. This speaks for the dual-factor model of mental health which describes two interrelated but separate unipolar mental health dimensions (positive and negative) [35–37].…”

Over one billion people use Facebook as a platform for social interaction and self-presentation making it one of the most popular online sites. The aim of the present study was to investigate differences in various personality traits and mental health variables between Facebook users and people who do not use this platform. The data of 945 participants (790 Facebook users, 155 Facebook non-users) were collected. Results indicate that Facebook users score significantly higher on narcissism, self-esteem and extraversion than Facebook non-users. Furthermore, they have significantly higher values of social support, life satisfaction and subjective happiness. Facebook non-users have (marginally) significantly higher values of depression symptoms than Facebook users. In both groups, extraversion, self-esteem, happiness, life satisfaction, resilience and social support, on the one hand, and depression, anxiety and stress symptoms, on the other hand, are negatively correlated. Neuroticism is positively associated with depression, anxiety and stress symptoms. However, significant differences exist between Facebook users and Facebook non-users regarding some associations of personality traits and mental health variables. Compared to Facebook non-users, the present results indicate that Facebook users have higher values of certain personality traits and positive variables protecting mental health. These findings are of particular interest considering the high importance of social online-platforms in the daily life of many people.

“…To date, research assessing the impact of change has focused on the personal situation of individuals. For example, it has been shown that initiating numerous and fast‐paced organizational restructuring is accompanied by feelings of personal threat, distress, and job dissatisfaction (Hobfoll & Lilly, 1993; Kelly & Steed, 2004; Littler, Dunford, Bramble, & Hede, 1997; Morgan & Zeffane, 2003; Schmitt & Maes, 1998; Shteyn, Schumm, Vodopianova, Hobfoll, & Lilly, 2003; Slone, Kaminer, & Durrheim, 2002; Tsutsumi, Nagami, Morimoto, & Matoba, 2002). However, societal and organizational change not only affect individuals, but groups as well.…”

In the present study, an integration of relative deprivation theory and social identity theory is proposed to account for people's reactions to dramatic changes affecting their daily lives. Data collected among nurses (n = 108) indicate that feelings of relative deprivation are influenced by different perceptions of organizational change. Path analysis shows that feelings of social relative deprivation derive from negative changes that are numerous, and that temporal relative deprivation is experienced as a result of negative changes that are rapid. In terms of the link between social identity and relative deprivation, 2 contrasting approaches were tested. Analyses support the view that in‐group identification acts as a precursor, rather than as a consequence, of relative deprivation.
