“…Empirical investigations have shown that individuals with higher levels of perceived control are more likely to engage in problem-focused or active coping responses (Anderson, 1977;Strickland, 1978;Ross and Mirowsky, 1989;Ingledew et al, 1997). Further, in some investigations perceived control has been related to the effectiveness of coping responses in ameliorating distress (Bowman and Stern, 1995;Hahn, 2000). After controlling for resources, different coping responses may be associated with divergent psychosocial outcomes.…”

This study makes a theoretical contribution to stress process research by using a systemic approach to contextualize individual outcomes within the framework of other family members' experience. Utilizing a mixed model approach, indicators of the stress process of urban low-income HIV + African American recent mothers were found to affect the psychological distress and perceived adequacy of coping of multiple other family members. These relationships were found to be strongest proximal to birth and to be exacerbated by HIV infection. Social support to the mother was found to have differential effects depending on whether it was from the immediate family or outside sources. HIV infection of the recent mother was found to affect family members both through relationships of the mother's stress process and through their own coping responses. KeywordsStress process; Systemic process; Family; HIV; Multi-level data; Social support; Coping responses A growing movement in psychology is concerned with the influence of context on human functioning (Szapocznik and Kurtines, 1993). One of the most important units of social context is the family (Bronfenbrenner, 1986). The current study investigated the influence of HIV + African American women who had recently given birth, on their family members. The study demonstrates a strategy to represent family systemic influences using individual level data. Multi-level modeling is used to integrate individual information on family members in a way that permits the identification of the effect of a recent mother's experience on her family members' psychological outcomes.This study makes a theoretical contribution to stress process research by using a systemic approach to contextualize individual outcomes within the framework of other family members' experience. A system comprises parts that are interdependent or interrelated (Szapocznik and Kurtines, 1989). In human systems, interdependence is clear with persons being responsive to each other's behaviors. A major aspect of a human system is the interactive nature of behaviors and experiences of its members. That is, each individual's experience is quite different from what it would be if it were possible for the individual to live in isolation. The family is one type of system in which individual members of the system are clearly interdependent and interrelated.The current study focused on HIV + urban low-income African American women and their families because this population has extremely high rates of HIV infection, well beyond their * Corresponding author.

“…What the workplace literature has shown is that both internal and external ILOC orientations can affect the stressor-strain process in different ways. Specifically, individuals with an external ILOC reported more self-reported negative general health symptoms on day they experienced conflict, while individuals with an internal ILOC reported higher levels of depression on days exposed to conflict (Hahn, 2000). Stepping outside of the workplace, research has reported that individuals with an external ILOC experienced greater levels of psychological distress (Charlton & Thompson, 1996).…”

Professor Valentina Bruk-Lee, Major ProfessorThe purpose of this study was twofold. The first was to further clarify and expand or understanding of the relationship between interpersonal conflict, incivility, and their roles as stressors in the stressor-strain relationship. The second goal was to examine how neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, trait anger, and sphere specific locus of control moderate the stressor-strain relationship between task conflict, relationship conflict, incivility and workplace and health outcomes. The results suggest that extraversion, neuroticism, conscientiousness, agreeableness, trait anger, and locus of control play significant roles in how workplace aggression affects individuals. These findings suggest that occupations that experience a high level of workplace aggression should consider incorporating these personality traits into their selection system as a way of limiting or reducing the effects workplace aggression can have on individual health, wellbeing, and job outcomes.

“…There has been a plethora of studies showing that conflict at work is one of the most common sources of stress in the workplace and is therefore an important topic across occupations, which has in turn renewed interest in the construct (Bolger et al, 1989;Keenan & Newton, 1985;Narayanan, Menon, & Spector, 1999;Smith & Sulsky, 1993). In a study of full-time workers across a variety of occupations, Hahn (2000) found respondents reported experiencing interpersonal conflict in half of their work days. Keenan and Newton (1985) found 74% of stressful events were social in nature, with conflict at work being reported as a major stressor in a study of young engineers.…”

“…The negative impact of interpersonal conflict is not only limited to individual psychological well-being as the impact is also found on physical symptoms reported by the individuals (Bruk- Lee, 2006;Frone, 2000;Hahn, 2000;Lubbers et al, 2005). Data from a diary study of working undergraduates conducted by Hahn (2000) showed that participants reported more health symptoms following a conflict.…”

Testing and Expanding an Emotion-Centered Model of Workplace Aggression: The Moderating Effects of Perceived Intensity and Social Support in the Workplace

Professor Valentina Bruk-Lee, Major ProfessorThe purpose of this thesis was to examine the mediating effects of job-related negative emotions on the relationship between workplace aggression and outcomes.Additionally, the moderating effects of workplace social support and intensity of workplace aggression are considered. A total 321 of working individuals participated through an online survey. The results of this thesis suggest that job-related negative emotions are a mediator of the relationship between workplace aggression and outcomes, with full and partial mediation supported. Workplace social support was found to be a buffering variable in the relationship between workplace aggression and outcomes, regardless of the source of aggression (supervisor or co-worker) or the source of the social support. Finally, intensity of aggression was found to be a strong moderator of the relationship between workplace aggression and outcomes.iv
