Physical Activity and Relationship Functioning: Mediation Roles of Sexual Satisfaction and Self-Esteem

Description: Little research has examined the role of physical activity in relationship functioning. Utilizing two heterosexual subsamples of 618 females and 155 males, results indicated that physical activity was positively correlated with sexual satisfaction and self-esteem for the female subsample, but was not significant for the male subsample. For both subsamples, although physical activity was not a significant unique predictor of relationship functioning in regression analyses, sexual satisfaction an… more

Transitioning from Acute to Chronic Pain: An Examination of Different Trajectories of Low-Back Pain

Description: The article examines the most recent trajectory research, and highlights the importance of developing a broader model for patient evaluation. Traditionally, there has been a widely accepted notion that the transition from acute to chronic pain follows a linear trajectory, where an injury leads to acute episodes, subacute stages, and progresses to a chronic pain condition. However, it appears that pain progression is much more complicated and individualized than this original unsupported assumpt… more

The Revised Stress-Related Growth Scale: Improving the Measurement of Posttraumatic Growth

Description: This study evaluated a revised version of the Stress-Related Growth Scale (SRGS-R). The SRGS-R has two major differences from the Stress-Related Growth Scale (SRGS).

This study included participants (N = 764) recruited through Amazon MTurk. There were three versions of the SRGS-R tested - the SRGS with neutral wording of items only (SRGS-R-N), the SRGS with positi… more

An Investlarks and Hearts: Circadian Mismatch and Effort Intensity

It evaluated responses of morning people (Larks) presented an easy or difficult recognition memory task at a time congruent or incongruent with their rhythm.

Validating the National Institutes of Health Brief Fatigue Inventory and Characterizing Fatigue Symptoms across Patient Populations

Description: A gold standard measurement does not exist to assess fatigue symptoms across patient populations. Current tools only consist of self-report measures that may not assess fatigue objectively. The National Institutes of Health-Brief Fatigue Inventory (NIH-BFI) is a clinician-administered instrument developed as a more objective assessment of fatigue symptoms. This study assessed the NIH-BFI's validity in diverse clinical populations, which included patients diagnosed with a mood disorder, Parkinso… more

Transitioning from Sport: Retirement and Former Female Collegiate Athletes' Satisfaction with Life, Depressive Symptomatology, and Body Satisfaction

From Childhood Maltreatment to Depressive Symptoms in Adulthood: The Roles of Self-Compassion and Shame

Description: We hypothesized that the formation of malevolent introjects undermines the development of self-compassion, which in turn produces greater feelings of shame. We hypothesized that these feelings of shame account for concurrent depressive symptoms in adulthood. To test these hypotheses, we proposed a multiple mediator mediation model in which our independent variable was childhood maltreatment. We modeled child maltreatment as negatively predicting our first mediator, self-compassion, which in … more
