Comorbid mood and adjustment disorders among pathological gamblers seeking treatment in Hong Kong

Research findings on comorbidity and pathological gambling are non–existent in Chinese communities. The objectives of this study were to: (a) determine the prevalence of comorbid mood and adjustment disorders among pathological gamblers seeking treatment in Hong Kong; (b) compare demographic profiles and clinical features in pathological gamblers with and without comorbid mood and adjustment disorders; and (c) explore the association and temporal relationship between pathological gambling and comorbid mood and adjustment disorders. Assessment instruments included demographic data, BSI, SCID-I, ASI and LIFE-RIFT. Results showed that about two-thirds (63.7%; n = 128) of 201 participants reported lifetime comorbid psychiatric disorders. Most common comorbid disorders were mood disorders (29.4%; n = 59) and adjustment disorders (20.9%; n = 42). Pathological gamblers with comorbid mood or adjustment disorders showed more severe levels of psychopathology, impairment in psychosocial functioning and gambling problems. This study is important because it is the first scientific comorbidity study among pathological gamblers in a Chinese context.     

Predictors of stress and depressive mood in Portuguese middle-aged women

ABSTRACT

This cross-sectional study investigates the predictors of psychological symptoms—stress and depressive mood—in a sample of middle-aged women. A community sample of 1,003 women filled in the questionnaires and instruments, which included the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales and the Life Events Survey; sociodemographic, health, and menopause-related and lifestyle information was also collected. Structural equation modeling was used to build the model that had stress and depressive mood as dependent variables. Health status (both physical and psychological), recent life events, income and menopausal phase were significantly associated with the frequency of stress and depressive symptoms. Additionally, educational level and parity were also significant predictors of depressive mood. This study emphasizes that psychological symptoms occurrence in midlife depends not only on personal variables (such as health and menopausal status) but also on contextual ones (including recent stressful events) that can be a strong influence on how middle-aged women feel.     

编辑选择的心理临界值与情绪调节

编辑选择的过程是编辑主体在一定编辑思想支配下,通过对客体的思想价值、学术价值、审美价值、社会价值、品牌价值、媒体的经济收益作出综合的评估,当总体价值大于或等于编辑选择的心理临界值时,客体才可能被选用。编辑选择的审读心理的变化也时刻影响着编辑的审读情绪。因此,编辑需要保持一种相对稳定的心理状态,建立相应的心理准备机制,调节好编辑工作情绪。

论中国画意境中的诗性建构

中国自古以来所表现出的文与艺浑整未分、互通有无、彼此不分的状态。使诗性和画境呈现出完美的一律性．在心理的熔化下形成“异迹而同趣”的审美意象。通过“禅意—诗意—画意”的途径,将景随时易的日回月周、寒署易节作为审美的对象。中国画意境中的诗性建构使绘画真正成为一种“时间品味方式”。这正是中国传统绘画的独特品性所在。     

湖北利川方言的语气词“哈”

在湖北利川方言中,“哈”是一个很重要的语气词。语气词“哈”由来已久,至今仍普遍使用,生命力很强,在各年龄段的利川人的日常交际中出现频率很高。语气词“哈”在利川方言口语交际中的存在形式多样,位置灵活,功用各异。在利川方言中,语气词“哈”具有多方面的语用功能：用于疑问句句末,以寻求确认或推进交流;用于祈使句末,以形成合作商榷的氛围;用于陈述句句末,以重复或核对信息;用于句中或小句末,以提示注意或停顿。等等。此外,语气词“哈”在使用中还有几种特殊情况值得重视。     

词心说

"词心"虽系晚清词论家提出的一个词学范畴,但却揭示了唐宋以来词人在创作中独有的心理状态:或"一往而深,而怨悱不乱",或出于至情至性,所谓"不能不尔"。正是由于这种种"赋情独深,逐境必寤"的词心表现,才可能创作出与诗、曲、散文等其他文学样式不同的具有独特美感的词情词境。     

偏执与规范：中国古代小说脾气描写的文化解读

在传统文化背景下,中国古代小说致力于写出人物脾气的偏执性。从“五性”视角看,我们可以将《三国志演义》、《西游记》等小说所描写的人物脾气归纳为相生相克的五类：柔媚水性,厚重土性,骄纵金性,憨直木性,暴躁火性。从情绪产生的速度来看,中国古代小说常常按照“缓急”、“快慢”等属性来框定人物的脾气,并进而逐步通过人物的行为方式和言语态度来坐实。从情绪变化的幅度看,中国古代小说又常常有意无意地将人物脾气纳入到“狂狷”框架内进行描写,通过人物的言语态度将人物脾气的狂放或矜持反映出来。总之,中国古代小说关于人物脾气的描写大致符合传统文化脾性范畴,我们可以借此镜照现实社会人生。
