“…Perhaps future research will examine aspects of Orthodox marriage that go beyond those assessed here, including those more easily assessed in this group. For example, there is a large body of research associating religious activity with social support, which itself is linked to numerous physical and mental health benefits (Schnall et al, 2012). The role that various forms of social support, including emotional and tangible support, might play in creating and maintaining stable marriages is an area that should be investigated.…”

The paucity of mental health studies with Orthodox Jews makes culturally competent counseling care unlikely. In this large‐scale investigation of marriage among Orthodox Jews, most respondents reported satisfaction with marriage and spouse, although satisfaction was highest among recently married couples. The most significant stressors were finances, communication, physical intimacy/sexuality, time pressures, and in‐law conflicts. Counseling interventions are discussed. La escasez de estudios sobre salud mental en poblaciones de judíos ortodoxos limita la posibilidad de ofrecer un cuidado de consejería culturalmente competente. En esta investigación a gran escala sobre el matrimonio entre judíos ortodoxos, la mayoría de los participantes indicaron satisfacción con su matrimonio y esposo/a, aunque la satisfacción fue mayor entre las parejas recién casadas. Los elementos estresantes más significativos fueron las finanzas, la comunicación, el contacto íntimo/sexualidad, la falta de tiempo, y los conflictos con la familia política. Se discuten intervenciones para la consejería.

“…The occurrence of environmental destructive group events undermines the nimbyism of the masses and deprives the emotional appeal of the vulnerable. Under the polarized psychology of the vulnerable, individuals become fearless in the group event, which tends to intensify the situation (Jeroen, 2008, Schnall, Kalkstein, Fitchett et al, 2011. Based on environmental damage factors, this paper explores the psychological characteristics of paticipants in environmental destructive group events and conducts an in-depth analysis of the social psychological mechanism of environmental destructive group events.…”

The rapid economic growth in China has led to a decline in environmental quality. The environmental damage has undermined the interests of some people, causing a number of group events. Considering the key factors of environmental damage, this paper explores the psychological features of the participants in the group events induced by environmental damage, and probes deep into the social psychological mechanism of such events. On this basis, the authors put forward a solution to the group events caused by environmental damage. The results show that the participants are mainly attracted to the group events by the unfair distribution of environmental benefits; group psychology, confrontational psychology and negotiation psychology are clearly seen in group events induced by environmental damage; most participants have group psychology, because their interest claims are not satisfied. This paper clarifies the psychological features of participants in group events, shedding new light on how to control such events.

“…However, among women in our sample without a death in immediate family the scores of depressive symptoms seem to be at the same level independent of high or low attendance frequency. On the other hand, a recent population-based American study reported lower depression scores the more the participants went to church [19]. …”

Background. The death of a family member is a stressful life event and can result in an increased level of depressive symptoms. Previous American research has shown inverse relationships between religious involvement and depression. European investigations are few and findings inconsistent; different contexts may have an important influence on findings. We therefore investigated the relationship between attendance at church/prayer house and depressive symptoms, and whether this relationship was moderated by the death of a close family member, in Norway. Methods. A population-based sample from the Nord-Trøndelag Health Study, Norway (HUNT 3, N = 37,981), was the population examined. Multiple regression and interaction tests were utilised. Results. Religious attendees had lower scores on depressive symptoms than non-attendees; death of a close family member moderated this relationship. The inverse relationships between attendance at church/prayer house and depressive symptoms were greater among those experiencing the death of an immediate family member in the last twelve months compared to those without such an experience, with men's decrease of depressive symptoms more pronounced than women's. Conclusion. In a population-based study in Norway, attendance at church/prayer house was associated with lower depressive symptoms, and the death of a close relative and gender moderated this relationship.
