“…Although beliefs regarding internal control are more highly associated with better mental and physical health (Berglund, Lytsy, & Westerling, 2014; Milte, Luszcz, Ratcliffe, Masters, & Crotty, 2015; Reile & Leinsalu, 2013; Shojaee & French, 2014), the belief in a doctor’s control may be stronger during illness. It is assumed that the optimal health-control model includes the coexistence of an individual’s beliefs about his or her responsibility for his or her own state of health as well as beliefs about the influence of others, such as doctors.…”

This correlational study investigated the relationships between temperament, beliefs about pain control, and pain intensity ratings in a group of 103 women diagnosed with endometriosis. Temperament traits were assessed using the Formal Characteristics of Behaviour-Temperament Inventory. Beliefs about pain control were measured using the Polish version of the Beliefs about Pain Control Questionnaire. The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS-11) was used to measure pain intensity. There was a high negative correlation between the temperament trait of endurance and pain intensity ratings. Moderate negative correlations with pain intensity were found for internal beliefs about pain control. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis indicated that the endurance trait and internal beliefs about pain control accounted for 33 % of the variance in pain intensity ratings in women with endometriosis.

“…These vigorous actions played a key role in containing the spread of COVID-19 [ 1 , 2 ]; however, they have also had some effects on residents’ mental health, including their subjective well-being (SWB) [ 3 , 4 ]. In psychology, the concepts of well-being, mental health, and happiness are often used as synonyms [ 5 ]. The World Health Organization (WHO) defined mental health as a “state of well-being whereby individuals recognize their abilities, are able to cope with the normal stresses of life, work productively and fruitfully, and make a contribution to their communities” [ 6 ].…”

“…At present, the assessment of positive SWB indicators mainly relies on self-report inventories such as the Psychological Well-Being (PWB) scale [ 16 ]. In addition, because mental health is the crucial element or is even considered to be a synonym of SWB [ 5 , 6 ], some psychiatric status rating scales are widely used to assess negative SWB indicators [ 17 , 18 ], such as the Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90), with good reliability and validity [ 19 - 21 ].…”

Background During the COVID-19 pandemic, residential lockdowns were implemented in numerous cities in China to contain the rapid spread of the disease. Although these stringent regulations effectively slowed the spread of COVID-19, they may have posed challenges to the well-being of residents. Objective This study aims to explore the effects of residential lockdown on the subjective well-being (SWB) of individuals in China during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods The sample consisted of 1790 Sina Weibo users who were residents of cities that imposed residential lockdowns, of which 1310 users (73.18%) were female, and 3580 users who were residents of cities that were not locked down (gender-matched with the 1790 lockdown residents). In both the lockdown and nonlockdown groups, we calculated SWB indicators during the 2 weeks before and after the enforcement date of the residential lockdown using individuals’ original posts on Sina Weibo. SWB was calculated via online ecological recognition, which is based on established machine learning predictive models. Results The interactions of time (before the residential lockdown or after the residential lockdown) × area (lockdown or nonlockdown) in the integral analysis (N=5370) showed that after the residential lockdown, compared with the nonlockdown group, the lockdown group scored lower in some negative SWB indicators, including somatization (F1,5368=13.593, P<.001) and paranoid ideation (F1,5368=14.333, P<.001). The interactions of time (before the residential lockdown or after the residential lockdown) × area (developed or underdeveloped) in the comparison of residential lockdown areas with different levels of economic development (N=1790) indicated that the SWB of residents in underdeveloped areas showed no significant change after the residential lockdown (P>.05), while that of residents in developed areas changed. Conclusions These findings increase our understanding of the psychological impact and cost of residential lockdown during an epidemic. The more negative changes in the SWB of residents in developed areas imply a greater need for psychological intervention under residential lockdown in such areas.

“…Research findings generally support the theorised advantages of internality versus externality. More favourable outcomes of ILOC are found in higher academic achievement (e. g. Flouri, 2006;Kalechstein & Nowicki, 1997), better sports performance (e. g., Arnaud et al, 2012), and business success (e.g., Spector et al, 2002;Wu et al, 2015) and less favourable outcomes are associated with ELOC including negative personality characteristics (e.g., Duke & Nowicki, 1973;Wheeler & White, 1991), depression (Benassi et al, 1988;Bjørkløf et al, 2013;Christensen et al, 1991), anxiety (Carden et al, 2004, and psychoses (Harrow et al, 2009;Weintraub et al, 2016).…”

Background: Data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) were analysed to investigate associations between parents’ locus of control (LOC) and their use of their children’s symptoms to pursue a diagnosis of autism. Methods: Comparison of parental LOC obtained prenatally with various aspects of the child’s (<12 years) development, used the prevalence of four autistic traits, to ascertain the likelihood that they qualified for an autism diagnosis. Results: Parents with an external LOC had children who were more likely to demonstrate extreme levels of each of the four autistic traits (e.g. for social communication 8.9% of offspring of internal LOC versus 12.3% of external LOC mothers; P<0.0001). However, the rate of autism diagnosis was considerably greater if the mother was internal compared to external (13.3 v 9.6 per 1000). To determine whether the difference was autism specific, we compared parental LOC with children diagnosed with dyslexia and those with reading impairments. Although externals’ children had more reading impairment indicators than internals, this was not reflected by them being more likely to be diagnosed as dyslexic. Conclusions: We conclude that children of parents with an externally oriented LOC may be less likely to be diagnosed appropriately than children of internally oriented parents. Interventions to increase parental internality may improve the likelihood of appropriate diagnoses and hence an improvement in child well-being.
