“…A third possible limitation of our study is our reliance on an exclusively German and Swiss population, which may restrict the generalizability of our results to other cultures, given our use of interpersonal constructs. However, Heinrichs et al (2006) noted that the clinical presentation of social phobia is often consistent between German-speaking cultures and the United States as well as other European countries. Similarly, interpersonal subtypes in GAD have been replicated across both English-and German-speaking populations (e.g., Salzer et al, 2008).…”

Interpersonal assessment may provide a clinically useful way to identify subtypes of social phobia. In this study, we examined evidence for interpersonal subtypes in a sample of 77 socially phobic outpatients. A cluster analysis based on the dimensions of dominance and love on the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems-Circumplex Scales (Alden, Wiggins, Pincus, 1990) found 2 interpersonal subtypes of socially phobic patients. These subtypes did not differ on pretreatment global symptom severity as measured by the Brief Symptom Inventory (Derogatis, 1993) or diagnostic comorbidity but did exhibit differential responses to outpatient psychotherapy. Overall, friendly-submissive social phobia patients had significantly lower scores on measures of social anxiety and significantly higher scores on measures of well-being and satisfaction at posttreatment than cold-submissive social phobia patients. We discuss the results in terms of interpersonal theory and the clinical relevance of assessment of interpersonal functioning prior to beginning psychotherapy with socially phobic patients.

“…Consistent with this explanation, 909 participants from eight countries completed vignettes describing social situations and evaluated the social acceptability of the behavior of the main actor from a cultural viewpoint. [94] According to reported cultural norms, collectivistic countries are more accepting toward socially reticent and withdrawn behaviors than is the case in individualistic countries. Also in support of this explanation, shy and unsociable individuals in South Korea show better social and emotional adjustment than their counterparts in Australia.…”

Background-The anxiety disorders specified in the fourth edition, text revision, of The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV-TR) are identified universally in human societies, and also show substantial cultural particularities in prevalence and symptomatology. Possible explanations for the observed epidemiological variability include lack of measurement equivalence, true differences in prevalence, and limited validity or precision of diagnostic criteria. One central question is whether, through inadvertent "over-specification" of disorders, the post-DSM-III nosology has missed related but somewhat different presentations of the same disorder because they do not exactly fit specified criteria sets. This review canvases the mental health literature for evidence of cross-cultural limitations in DSM-IV-TR anxiety disorder criteria.

“…It also reflects desire for protection, bonding, and endurance. 8 Maslow further states, "Individuals desire to satisfy them by recruiting all the capacities of the organism in their service, and we may then fairly describe the whole organism as a safety seeking mechanism". Insecurity, in most cases, cannot be assessed objectively.…”

ABSTRACT… Introduction:This study is about female nursing staff whose mission is to provide professional care to ailing patients, but who are also vulnerable to bullying, harassment, and even assault while they perform their duties. Objectives: The study attempts to describe the level of perceived workplace security among the nurses and investigate relationship between theoretically identified predictors and the perceived workplace security of nurses working in public hospitals in Lahore city. Study Design: Factors such as civility in co-worker behavior, clarity of norms of communication with co-workers, integrity and trust of the leaders, awareness of law and legal procedure related to harassment at work place and physical settings characteristics-including transparency and privacy at the workplace-were modeled through a cross-sectional research design as contributing towards workplace security of female nurses. Study Period: Oct 2015 to May, 2016. Methods: Multi-stage probability sampling was used to collect data from 317 respondents working in five public sector hospitals in Lahore city during first quarter of 2016. Zero-order correlation and multiple regression methods were used to analyze the data. Findings: Results showed that civility (B=.071, p<.000) in co-worker behavior, integrity (B=.185, p<.000) and trust of leaders (B=.059, p<.000) is the most potent factor influencing perceived workplace security of female nurses. Moreover, clear norms of communication (B=.169, p<.000) and privacy (B=.133, p<.000) at workplace also significantly influence their perceived workplace security. Transparency (B=.017, p>.05) in physical settings and awareness (B=-.014, p>.05)of law and legal procedures were found to be insignificant. Conclusion: It was concluded that setting clear work norms and leadership development in the areas of integrity and trust can play a substantial role in improving perception of workplace security in female nursing staff. Awareness of laws regarding harassment among nurses need to be increased through formal and concerted effort. Key words:Female nurses, workplace security, leadership, work norms, communication, privacy, public sector hospitals.
