In the context of this debate, this paper presents two studies that establish the psychometric properties of a French version of the HV-IC scale among Gabonese employees. In study 1, a principal component factor analyses (N = 344) conducted with statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) software indicated that the four-factor replicated well with fewer items than the initial version (reduced from 32 to 21 items). In study 2, a confirmatory factor analyses (N = 293) using Amos software provided satisfactory goodness of fit after minor modifications in the covariances between errors: X² (181) = 305.30, p = .000; goodness of fit index (GFI) = .91; comparative fit index (CFI) = .90; and root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = .05 (confidence interval [.04, .06]). The findings indicated that the Gabonese version of the HV-IC scale is a valid, reliable measure with a solid theoretical base. This study offers African French researchers a valid measurement tool and, consequently, a new methodological approach with which to build a better understanding of the cultural orientation of employees at work. Our results contribute to the debate about the cross-cultural validation of the scale.","PeriodicalId":38926,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Culture and Mental Health","volume":"27 1","pages":"351 - 361"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77739309","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}

This study aimed to examine sQOL, its short-term course and its predictors among people with early psychosis in central Vietnam. Community-dwelling individuals with early psychosis and their relatives were recruited via public health facilities for a naturalistic 6 month longitudinal study. The WHO Quality of Life-Bref and other standardized assessments were administered to 77 patients at baseline and 56 at follow-up. Average sQOL levels were found to be moderate across all key domains, but individuals who reported good QOL were in the minority. Negative appraisals in the environment domain, particularly in terms of money, were more common than in other QOL areas. Although level of community functioning improved significantly over the 6 month period, mean sQOL scores remained unchanged. Generalized estimating equation models revealed that more social support, being unmarried, and absence of dysphoria and negative symptoms were significantly associated with better sQOL in most domains. In summary, functional improvement may not necessarily result in enhanced sQOL for individuals with early psychosis in this setting. Local socioeconomic factors appeared to be among the most important influences on subjective wellbeing.","PeriodicalId":38926,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Culture and Mental Health","volume":"14 1","pages":"373 - 388"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90221984","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}

Two complementary hypotheses were tested. The first hypothesis postulates the independent effects of perceived discrimination and lack of parental support, and the second hypothesis postulates that perceived discrimination and lack of parental support jointly affect perceived depression in such a way that children of immigrants who felt discriminated and did not have parental support experienced a significantly higher level of perceived depression than those who felt discriminated but had parental support. The data of this study came from the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study (CIL), 1991–2005. The study’s sample consisted of 4110 adolescents who completed the interviews in 1992 and 1995. Ordinary least square regression was used to test the hypotheses. The results supported the study’s hypotheses, suggesting that adolescents of immigrant parents who experienced discrimination and lacked parental support suffered from a significantly higher level of perceived depression. Implications for formal and informal social services are discussed.","PeriodicalId":38926,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Culture and Mental Health","volume":"12 1","pages":"667 - 678"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87833893","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}

This localized concept has contributed to raising awareness of the need for post-disaster psycho-social support and establishing a disaster mental health system. Despite its intention to reduce the mental health-related stigma by expressing that mind can be injured in the same way as body can, the reluctance to seek support still persists. This paper aims to explore the challenges underlying the notion of kokoro no kea in changing the help-seeking behaviour of disaster victims through examining Japanese cultural concepts and political history. The literature review suggests that the semantic ambiguity embedded in the concept does not fully reflect the double-natured structure of consciousness in Japan which is related to an interdependent self in a society where cohesiveness and social inclusion are emphasized. Nor is the concept able to adequately signify the way that societal power relations have produced the collective experience of suffering. This paper concludes by reiterating that the cultural configuration of the self, language use, and the socio-political aspect of collective trauma are crucial elements in addressing the mental health needs of disaster victims.","PeriodicalId":38926,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Culture and Mental Health","volume":"31 1","pages":"406 - 416"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84670602","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}

First responders are typically male and literature suggests that a negative connotation of masculinity creates a stigma that leads to low help-seeking behaviour and poorer psychological outcomes. This study examines Filipino dimensions of masculinity namely perceived cognitive ability, sense of community, and assertive dominance and how these dimensions predict adaptive coping and its outcomes. Surveys of 135 male first responders reveal that perceived cognitive ability and sense of community positively predict adaptive coping. Results also support the hypothesis that adaptive coping mediates the relationship of perceived cognitive ability, and sense of community positively with psychological well-being. However, there was no relationship between assertive dominance and adaptive coping. Rather, assertive dominance predicted vicarious trauma. The results contribute to the literature by showing that masculinity ideologies have both positive and negative relationships with mental health. This has implications on how emergency organizations can help support first responders.","PeriodicalId":38926,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Culture and Mental Health","volume":"23 1","pages":"753 - 762"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83302879","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}
