Item type:Publication, Approach/avoidance personality traits as predictors of psychopathology in convicted offenders(National Library of Serbia, 2018); This study examined the role of approach and avoidance personality traits as temperamental risk factors for psychopathology using the revised Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory as theoretical framework. Self-report measures were administered to male convicted offenders (N = 162) and controls matched for age, education, and ethnicity (N = 162). The results show higher approach and passive avoidance tendencies in the forensic sample, as well as higher psychological distress relative to controls. In the forensic sample, both approach and avoidance traits can account for a high degree of psychopathology vulnerability. However, higher behavioral inhibition system sensitivity is the primary risk factor both for general distress and various dimensions of psychopathology, while lower behavioral approach system sensitivity predicts internalizing psychopathology, paranoid, and psychoticism symptoms. The findings are discussed both in the general context of personality-psychopathology links, as well as in the forensic context of potential mental health interventions as part of rehabilitation prison programs. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Анксиозност поврзана со смртта кај млади возрасни: полови разлики и емоционални корелати(Faculty of Philosophy, Skopje, 2015); Death anxiety is defined as an emotional response to awareness of death, including fear of personal mortality, which is not caused by an imminent threat to life. Numerous empirical findings suggest that the period of early adulthood is marked by a higtened fear or anxiety associated with death and dying, and that this type of anxiety is usually more prominent in females. According to the Terror Management Theory, adult attachment represents a distant defense from mortality salience and the transience of life. The study presented in this paper was conducted in order to examine sex differences in death anxiety in young adults, to analyze the relationship between death anxiety and certain emotional correlates (aging anxiety, empathy and adult attachment),as well as to assess the contribution of each emotional correlate in the prediction of death anxiety. The participants in the study were 435 undergraduate students from two universities in Macedonia. The data was gathered with Templer/McMordie Death Anxiety Scale, Anxiety about Aging Scale, Interpersonal Reactivity Index and Adult Attachment Scale. The assessment of sex differences showed that females feel significantly more anxious and fearful than males when thinking about death. Nearly all tested correlates were significantly associated with anxiety as a response to awareness of death, but the highest correlation exists between death anxiety and aging anxiety, personal distress and emphatic concern as affective components of empathy, and anxious attachment. The first three correlates are significant predictors of death anxiety, that explain over a third in its variance. The findings are aligned with developmental aspects of death anxiety and terror management theory. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Reinforcement sensitivity in reoffenders and violent offenders(Faculty of Philosophy, Skopje, 2018); The relationship between personality and crime has been vastly examined in theoretical and empirical studies in different scientific domains. The Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (RST) is a neuropsychological model that has recently sparked increasing research interest, although studies on RST and crime have mostly been focused on characteristics that distinguish offenders from non-offenders. Considering the lack of empirical research in offending subgroups this study examines whether RST facets can differentiate reoffenders from primary offenders and violent from nonviolent offenders. The participants are male offenders (N=162) incarcerated in three penitentiary institutions in Macedonia. We utilized the recently developed RST Personality Questionnaire (RST-PQ). The comparison of separate RST facets indicates that two dimensions of reward sensitivity have moderate discriminant value. Namely, reoffenders are significantly more impulsive that primary offenders, while reward interest is significantly lower in violent offenders. Considering the fact that the data revealed more similarities than differences in personality traits of the compared offender subgroups, further research is needed on the effects of prison life experiences, since these might potentially determine offending behaviour more significantly that primary personality dispositions. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Психолошката архитектура на посттрауматското стресно растројство(Faculty of Philosophy, Skopje, 2018)The paper discusses the complex range of psychological changes that often develop in the adaptation process after a traumatic experience. In addition to the well known structure of the posttraumatic stress disorder defined in accordance with current diagnostic criteria, other clinically relevant issues are presented: the multidimensional nature of posttraumatic processes, the holistic approach to traumatization effects, the interconnectedness of posttraumatic symptom clusters, the specific effects of traumatic personality injuries and posttraumatic interpersonal consequences. The review includes a brief overview of current PTSD reconceptualization efforts, as well as of the clinical implications of the disparity between the psychological nature of posttraumatic adaptation and the diagnostic frameworks that determine treatment guidelines. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Стигматизацијата на лица со нарушено ментално здравје и контактите со нив кај студенти со различна професионална ориентација(Филозофски факултет, Скопје, 2015); The paper presents results from a study on the features of stigmatization of people with various mental health disorders - schizophrenia, drug and alcohol addiction and its relationship with the number and closeness of contacts established with them. The participants in the study were two groups of students with different professional orientation: the first group is composed of students who are being educated for professions that are primarily oriented towards helping people, while the second group is composed of students who are educated for other professions. Data were collected with the Attribution Questionnaire-27 and the Level of Familiarity Scale. The analysis showed that both groups of students stigmatize addiction more than schizophrenia. The most salient tendency toward stigmatization and discrimination was determined in relation to drug addicts, especially in the second group of students. Comparison between the groups revealed a more pronounced readiness in the second group of students to discriminate people with schizophrenia or addicted to alcohol. Unlike them, students from the first group express increased preparedness for helping in relation to all three mental health disorders. More frequent and closer contacts with people who have mental health disorders contribute to the decline of feelings of fear and danger of them, and of the tendency for their discrimination. The findings indicate a need for appropriate anti-stigma programs that would offer better information about the nature and features of mental health disorders, thus reducing their stigmatization and discrimination. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Фактори на ризик за хронична траекторија на посттрауматска адаптациja(Филозофски факултет, Скопје, 2015)The paper presents findings from the first prospective study that follows the course and changes in posttraumatic consequences over a period of five years in persons with long-term posttraumatic stress disorder related to the war conflict in Macedonia in 2001. The study consists of three assessments of mental health in persons diagnosed with PTSD. Data were collected with the Life Stressor Checklist-Revised, Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview, Brief Symptom Inventory and the Impact of Event Scale-Revised. The findings confirm that the process of adaptation after cumulative traumatization is complex and has a variable course for most of the traumatized persons. Four trajectories of posttraumatic adaptation were determined: one positive (recovery), in over half of the respondents, and three maladaptive (remission, relapse and chronic PTSD trajectory) among other respondents. Confirmed risk factors for chronic trajectory of posttraumatic adaptation are lower number of experienced traumatic events prior to the first assessment, as well as increased severity of posttraumatic symptoms and comorbidity of at least two mental disorders in the second and third assessment. The expectations that certain sociodemographic variables, forced migration and increased number of experienced trauma are risk factors for chronic posttraumatic adaptation were not confirmed. Given the time distance and the social circumstances that followed the war traumatization, the findings highlight the need for interventions at the level of collective trajectories of posttraumatic adaptation, that represents the context for development and change of individual trajectories of posttraumatic recovery. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
