The purpose of this article is to discuss loss experiences in disability sport from psychological, social, and physiological perspectives.","PeriodicalId":343335,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Personal & Interpersonal Loss","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123377091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The slump-specific information included perceptions of loss, threat, challenge, and stress, as well as dimensional ratings for the primary cause of the slump. A split-sample procedure was used to specify and cross validate multivariate relationships among potential predictor variables and stress ratings. Results indicated that five variables made significant contributions to the prediction of stress ratings: perceived loss, perceived threat, perceived challenge, net causal control, and marital status (R = .77, adjusted R2 = .58). Findings are discussed primarily in terms of Hobfoil's (1988, 1989) conservation of resources model, which emphasizes the role of loss perceptions in the stress process.","PeriodicalId":343335,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Personal & Interpersonal Loss","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129947152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reactions to these losses may affect and be affected by athletes' self-identity. Although the self has generally been conceptualized as stable in sport-related research, there are compelling theoretical and empirical reasons to expect that aspects of the self may vary across sport situations. In this investigation, two studies were conducted to test the hypothesis that sport participants would reduce their self-identification with the athlete role in response to the personal loss resulting from a poor competitive season. Male intercollegiate athletes completed preseason and late season assessments of athletic identity in both Study 1 and Study 2. As predicted, participants who were not satisfied with their performances during the season tended to decrease their athletic identity to a greater extent than participants who were satisfied with their performances during the seaso...","PeriodicalId":343335,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Personal & Interpersonal Loss","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123352618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants had to be female and 18 years of age or older, and they had to have been sexually abused at some point in their lives. A total of 10 women participated. Nine of the women wrote about an abusive experience that happened to them as a child, and one wrote about an experience that occurred in adulthood. The participants wrote that they were able to disclose their past sexually abusive experience because they felt safe with the person to whom they confided, they felt they needed help, and the opportunity presented itself. They were more likely to disclose to non-family members than family members, and the majority of the people they disclosed to had a positive reaction.

In addition to grieving the loss of a normal, innocent childhood, adult survivors may experience emotional pain due to subsequent losses in adulthood precipitated by the consequences of abuse (i.e., difficulty in developing and maintaining healthy intimate relationships, loss of mental health). The death of one's abuser may produce a conflicted grief reaction resulting from intense feelings of anger or ambivalence, particularly in the case of incest. This report discusses the dynamics of grief and loss central to childhood sexual abuse. Assessment strategies are presented, and therapeutic interventions, including the use of ritual, creative writing, and art, are described through the use of case studies. Also termination issues and implications for clinicians working with survivors are discussed.","PeriodicalId":343335,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Personal & Interpersonal Loss","volume":"145 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116613154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As expected, participants perceived selected gender differences in reasons for and reactions to a partner's infidelity.

An attempt is made to understand how a bereaved individual conceptualizes the loss of a loved one, and existing differences between grievers who do and do not exhibit coping difficulties are examined. When applicable, popular notions in the literature concerning complicated grief reactions are investigated via repertory grid and content analysis findings.
