“…Women were found with higher levels of psychosocial health as compared to men, which seems contradictory to the existing trends in clinical psychology (Husain, 2018;Seedat et al, 2009). The feministic perspective, however, denies the labeling of women as more mentally ill than men (Husain et al, 2021;Husain, 2021). Feminists refer this to gender inequality that is a global practice (Neumayer and Pl€ umper, 2007), and women, in general, have been considered vulnerable to abuse and exploitation (Minganti, 2015).…”

Purpose“Psychosocial health” is a new term to comprehend the already established factors involved in mental health and psychological well-being. The term has not been specifically defined and explained within the framework of psychology.Design/methodology/approachThe study proposed and validated a new model of psychosocial health. Principal component analysis, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted by involving a total of 4,086 participants.FindingsPsychosocial health was interpreted as the “sexual, emotional, social, environmental, cognitive, religious, moral and spiritual satisfaction” of a person. The proposed model of psychosocial health was statistically validated. The additional findings revealed significantly higher levels of psychosocial health in women and significant inverse correlations between psychosocial health and age.Originality/valueThe current paper provided a comprehensive picture of psychosocial health from a psychological perspective and presented a statistically reliable tool for measuring psychosocial health.

Introduction. The central place in the system of personality relations is occupied by the attitude towards oneself. Its violations are the main link in the development of neurotic disorders and adaptation disorders. There was proved the connection between the attitude to the time perspective and the emotional-affective status, one of the indicators of which is the attitude towards oneself. In this regard, the purpose of the work was to study the attitude towards onуself and to the personal perspective of the patients of a cosmetological clinic with different levels of mental adaptation.Materials and methods. Patients of a cosmetological clinic with different level of mental adaptation detected using the «Test of neuropsychic adaptation» (NPA), were compared in terms of self-attitude and self-esteem studied using the author’s structured interview and S.Ya.Rubinstein’s technique (1999); the same groups were compared accordind to the indicators of the technique of «Semantic time differential» (STD) characterizing the attitude of a person to the time perspective [10]. The were used statistical methods of data analysis (Pearson χ2 and ANOVA, included in the statistical packages SPSS v. 25.0).Results. Among patients of the cosmetological clinic 54,1% have a reduced level of mental adaptation; 45,9% of women have no significant adaptation disorders. Groups of women with a reduced and nonreduced level of mental adaptation differ in the general indicator NPA (М= -1,16+0,15, М=3,20+0,11 p=0,000), practically do not differ in socio-demographic and clinical characteristics, but statistically significantly differ in all studied psychological characteristics: self-esteem, attitude towards oneself as a person, attitude towards one’s psychical «Ego», confidence in one’s external attractiveness, attitude towards the present, pas, and future. It is concluded that a decrease in the level of mental adaptation in a patient of cosmetological clinic is associated not only with a change in the system of significant personality relationships, but also due to violations of the emotional-affective sphere.Conclusion. Prospects of research related to the study of the dynamics of self-esteem of attitude towards oneself and the perception of a time perspective in the process of cosmetological correction of facial skin defects, as well as the structure of the personality of women seeking cosmetic help.

Background: Psychodermatology is a newly emerging field that associates cosmetic dermatology with psychopathology. It analyzes the psychosocial aspects of beauty and physical attraction. Attractive people, in almost all cultures, are taken positively, and the less attractive ones are ostracized. The social pressure of staying physically attractive may lead to several negative outcomes, which can be placed under a single heading of “charismaphobia” (i.e., the “fear of unattractiveness”). Objectives: The current study aimed to assess the diagnostic aspects of charismaphobia by developing and validating a new scale. Methods: This quantitative study was conducted on 2904 participants in 4 phases. The Charismaphobia Scale was developed and validated through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses (EFA/CFA). The convergent validity of the scale was determined through generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and narcissistic personality disorder. Results: The finalized version of the Charismaphobia Scale comprised 19 items in English and reported 4 factors of charismaphobia (i.e., self-exhibition, narcissistic trends, media consumption, and charismaphobic anxiety). Marvelous sampling adequacy (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) = 0.946 and 0.871), highly significant adequacy of correlations between items (P = 0.000), excellent reliability (α = 0.939 and 0.843), strong factor loadings with no cross-loadings, adequate extractions of the items (all between 0.426 and 0.841), highly significant item-scale and item-total correlations (P < 0.001) were observed during the EFA and CFA. The convergent validity of the Charismaphobia Scale was found highly significant with generalized anxiety disorder (r = 0.327; P < 0.001), obsessive-compulsive disorder (r = 0.344; P < 0.001), and narcissistic personality disorder (r = 0.250; P < 0.001). Conclusions: The Charismaphobia Scale was developed and validated for the ease of clinical psychologists and dermatologists to assess the mental conditions underlying common dermatological problems.
