“…It can be observed that these values are below the midpoint of the scale (< 3).Anxiety and psychosomatic symptoms were statistically higher in females than in males. This result is supported by some previous studies in Gaza (Abadsa & Thabet, 2012), Turkey (Bayram (Dyrbye, Thomas, & Shanafelt, 2006), U.S.A (Jenkins et al, 2013;Rosenthal & Schreiner, 2000;Ryba & Hopko, 2012). In Palestine, being an Arabic country, females get used to stay close with their mothers almost all the time since childhood.…”

“…Several studies suggest high rates depression and anxiety, among university students all over the world and especially in Turkey (Bayram, 2008;Chia & Graves, 2016;Daniel, 2013;Jenkins, 2013;Ovuga, Boardman, & Wasserman, 2006;Wong et al, 2006), 8% of university students had depressive feelings in Jordan (HamdanMansour & Marmash, 2007), 75% of the university students had some degree of depressive symptoms in Jordan (Hamdan-Mansour et al, 2009). 27.5% of students had depressive symptoms and anxiety in Hong Kong (Wong et al, 2006).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of psychological problems among Palestinian university students on the West Bank. The sample consisted of 254 volunteer undergraduate students (50.4% males and 49.6% females). Data was collected using Psychological Problems Scale, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and a Demographic Information Form. The study showed that anxiety score (M = 2.83; SD = .92) was signifi cantly higher than depression (M = 2.55; SD = .95), and psychosomatic symptoms (M = 2.57; SD =.87) scores. Anxiety and psychosomatic symptoms were signifi cantly higher among female students than males. Furthermore, anxiety and depression were negatively correlated with perceived social support from friends, family and signifi cant others.

Several articles using foreign translations of the PCL‐S were located in the literature, accompanied by various diverse psychometric evidence, including two in Norwegian (Blix, Bang Hansen, Skogbrott Birkeland, Nissen, & Heir, ; Hem, Hussain, Wentzel‐Larsen, & Heir, ), two in French (Dubosc et al, ; Ventureyra, Yao, Cottraux, Note, & De Mey‐Guillard, ), and three in Chinese (Erbes, Meis, Polusny, & Compton, ; Jenkins, Belanger, Connally, Boals, & Durón, ; L.

In this systematic review, the authors analyzed 336 published articles and dissertations that used the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist (PCL) to determine the reliability and validity of scores on 3 different versions: PCL–Specific, PCL–Military, and PCL–Civilian. Results confirmed Weathers, Litz, Herman, Huska, and Keane's () claim that the PCL has adequate psychometric properties and appears to support the construction of a new version, the PCL‐5, as a population‐nonspecific instrument.

“…The majority of our respondents were white and from college-educated US households—the demographic group most likely to have access to resources that allowed them to succeed at the highest levels of education [15,17,52]. Yet, the transition from graduate school to permanent employment is precarious, especially for women [17,53].…”

Family and the field: Expectations of a field-based research career affect researcher family planning decisions

2018

Field-based data collection provides an extraordinary opportunity for comparative research. However, the demands of pursuing research away from home creates an expectation of unburdened individuals who have the temporal, financial, and social resources to conduct this work. Here we examine whether this myth of the socially unencumbered scholar contributes to the loss of professionals and trainees. To investigate this, we conducted an internet-based survey of professional and graduate student anthropologists (n = 1025) focused on the challenges and barriers associated with developing and maintaining a fieldwork-oriented career path and an active family life. This study sought to determine how (1) family socioeconomic status impacts becoming an anthropologist, (2) expectations of field-based research influence family planning, and (3) fieldwork experiences influence perceptions of family-career balance and stress. We found that most anthropologists and anthropology students come from educated households and that white men were significantly more likely to become tenured professionals than other demographic groups. The gender disparity is striking because a larger number of women are trained in anthropology and were more likely than men to report delaying parenthood to pursue their career. Furthermore, regardless of socioeconomic background, anthropologists reported significant lack of family-career balance and high stress associated with the profession. For professionals, lack of balance was most associated with gender, age, SES, tenure, and impacts of parenting on their career, while for students it was ethnicity, relative degree speed, graduate funding, employment status, total research conducted, career impact on family planning, and concern with tenure (p < .05). Anthropology bridges the sciences and humanities, making it the ideal discipline to initiate discussions on the embedded structural components of field-based careers generalizable across specialties.
