Apart from the simple dress, it gives people the ability to create distinctive identities in the society, glorifying individual characteristics and lifestyles. This research dives into the dynamic changes in fashion from historical times and its psychological influences on the society. The study uses a qualitative approach, where the objectives are to study the historical context of gender representation in clothing brands and analyse individual preferences in gender-neutral fashion. Media analysis and in-depth interviews are the main methods used for this study. The results show an old trend where fashion was based on gender roles, although the lines between men’s and women’s fashion has been drawn. However, the society images live on, and people who do not conform to conventional dress standards are stigmatised. The study therefore promotes a conversation that includes the fashion industry and society to defy norms and adopt more gender identities.","PeriodicalId":511633,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychosocial Research","volume":"3 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141278894","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}

Data analyses using non-parametric tests revealed significant positive relationship among attachment patterns barring anxious attachment, to dispositional forgiveness and perceived social support of young adults. Anxious attachment was negatively correlated with perceived social support and had no relationship to dispositional forgiveness. No significant gender difference or relationship status difference in adult attachment patterns were observed. The intricacies in attachment patterns, dispositional forgiveness, and perceived social support and how it affects the interpersonal interactions of young adults are highlighted.","PeriodicalId":511633,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychosocial Research","volume":"30 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141276120","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}

Reducing the overall number of suicide deaths and intentional self-harm incidents requires early detection of depression. Depression is frequently caused by suicide. Depression and suicidal thoughts have been found to be highly correlated. The purpose of the current study is to comprehend the neurocognitive profile of depressed individuals who have considered suicide. This cross-sectional study included 30 participants of both genders who were between the ages of 20 and 50. Further assessments of cognitive flexibility were conducted using tests for domains such as working memory, inhibition, set shifting, processing speed, and attention. Overall, it can be concluded that while phonemic fluency, inhibition, and set shifting have been found to have an impact, processing speed, attention, working memory, and semantic fluency are all compromised in depression associated with suicidal ideation. We can draw the conclusion that depression is a significant health problem that must not be disregarded because it is a key indicator of suicide and has been shown to reduce engagement in day-to-day activities, both of which can result in a reduced quality of life.","PeriodicalId":511633,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychosocial Research","volume":"43 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141275113","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}
