Participants (N = 162) completed measures of perceived stress, motivations for engaging in sex, and sexual satisfaction in romantic relationships. Results revealed that participants experiencing higher levels of stress experienced lower sexual satisfaction and were more strongly motivated by avoidanceoriented reasons for engaging in sexual relations. Being more motivated to engage in sexual activity for coping reasons coincided with lesser sexual satisfaction. Conversely, those who were more strongly motivated by approach-oriented reasons for engaging in sexual activity reported greater sexual satisfaction. No support was found for sexual motivation as a mediator of the relation between stress and sexual satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":419892,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Relations, Intergroup Relations and Identity","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116838591","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}

Social distancing and isolation have led people to experience greater anxiety and negative affect, and financial distress has increased due to economic changes. Demographic features may differentiate the severity of distress individuals face. Using data from The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), the present study examined measures of psychological distress across a Canadian sample, identifying differences in age, sex, and income levels. Trends over time were observed. Lower-income Canadians reported higher distress. Women may be at greater risk than men, as well as younger compared to older Canadians. Psychological distress has remained relatively stable throughout the pandemic, although COVID-19 financial worry has lessened as people are not as worried about their finances. The findings of this study are informative of socioeconomic, sex, and age differences in mental health throughout the pandemic in a Canadian sample.","PeriodicalId":419892,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Relations, Intergroup Relations and Identity","volume":"170 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115967786","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 may create a situational context in which sustained affiliative responses towards an interaction partner are more likely to occur in the longer-term. In the present study, we randomly assigned 85 undergraduate stranger dyads (N = 170 participants; all women) to either shared stress or shared control experiences and measured immediate affiliative desire. The strangers in the dyads then interacted with one another in a discussion task, and participants’ long-term affiliative responses (liking and future intentions to affiliate) were assessed. The evidence suggested that shared stressful experiences (vs. the shared control experiences) promoted significantly more immediate affiliative desire. Furthermore, immediate affiliative desire mediated the association between shared stress and long-term affiliative responses. These findings offer insight into how shared stress may influence friendship development.","PeriodicalId":419892,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Relations, Intergroup Relations and Identity","volume":"128 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122675040","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}

According to theoretical perspectives, stress-related psychological demands should attenuate the positive effect of value congruence-related psychological resources on motivation. 294 subjects participated in this study by completing questionnaires on our three variables of interest on the Prolific platform. The results did not show an interaction effect by stress on the relationship between value congruence and intrinsic motivation. Moreover, an equivalence test indicated that the moderation effect size was too small to influence the practical level. In conclusion, the hypothesis postulating a moderating link of stress on the relationship between value congruence and intrinsic motivation was not confirmed.","PeriodicalId":419892,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Relations, Intergroup Relations and Identity","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128491615","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}

Depressive disorders can take various forms and can have diverse consequences on the person, especially on their environment, their marital relation and on their relations with their children. Moreover, this psychopathology can increase distress among kids. Currently, in the scientific literature, various articles mention the impact of the mother’s depression on her children, but very few studies tackle the impact of depression in both of parents on their children. This article wants to elaborate an integration model who will put emphasis on the impact of both parent’s depression on their child. This study hypothesizes that depressive disorders will manifest differently in both parents, but will essentially result in issues relating to the child’s affective ties.","PeriodicalId":419892,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Relations, Intergroup Relations and Identity","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122803669","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}

Parental involvement is examined in this archival analysis of the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) to determine whether parental involvement predicts juvenile delinquency, using a community sample of 13,287 youth aged 12 to 17 years. Parental involvement was negatively associated with number of arrests and differed considerably between justice-involved and non-justice-involved youth; racial category was included as an exploratory analysis. Whether youth were placed on probation (but not parole) was coupled with lower parental involvement compared to non-justice-involved youth. These results are indicative of the protective effect that parents may have on adolescent outcomes, showing that higher parental involvement is associated with reduced juvenile delinquency.","PeriodicalId":419892,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Relations, Intergroup Relations and Identity","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128099340","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}

Cross-sectional data were collected through self-report questionnaires,from 193 undergraduate students. Results suggest that, in non-clinical samples, the association between an unsupportive emotion socialization alexithymia is completely mediated by avoidance-related negative attitudes towards sadness. Also, the association between emotion socialization and later psychopathology is not (in the case of borderline personality traits) or only minimally (in the case of depressive symptoms) mediated by alexithymia when these avoidance-related negative attitudes towards sadness are also included as a mediator.

One hundred undergraduates (36 men and 64 women) were randomly assigned to receive scale items that identified feminist values but used the terms feminism/feminist or women’s movement/women depending on the condition they were assigned. In addition, activism, acceptance of traditional gender roles, and feminist identification were measured. As expected, men endorsed feminism less than women overall, and participants in the women’s movement (vs. feminism) condition endorsed feminism more. When controlling for feminist identification, there was no gender difference in activism or acceptance of gender roles for participants in the feminism/feminist condition; however, women reported more activism and less acceptance of gender roles than men in the women’s movement/women condition.
