Self-Efficacy, Learned Helplessness and Parental Psychological Control: A Transgenerational Perspective
Dear all,
I am currently recruiting participants to take part in my thesis project. I am investigating the relationship between self-efficacy, learned helplessness and parental psychological control from a transgenerational perspective.
The study has received ethical approval from Northumbria University (45055).
We are looking for participants who meet the following criteria:
• A resident in the United Kingdom (UK)
• Grew up in a two-parent household
• Currently have school-aged children
• Parent those children with a stable long-term partner who lives in the same household
The study will involve answering a set of demographic questions, questions about the parenting style received from your own parents, the parenting style you use with your own children, and questions measuring your levels of both self-efficacy and learned helplessness.
If you have any further questions regarding the study, please contact me at beth.sheerin@northumbria.ac.uk.

Family history is an important risk factor for breast cancer incidence, but the parameters conventionally used to categorize it are based solely on numbers and/or ages of breast cancer cases in the family and take no account of the size and age-structure of the woman’s family. What are your views?
I'm trying to study the relationship between a family history of depression and brain's intrinsic functional connectivity in individuals at high risk for depression (by virtue of having a first-degree relative with a lifetime history of depression). Unfortunately, owing to the inherent difficulty associated with using the gold standard way of examining families' diagnostic status (i.e., using SCID), I've been forced to obtain the required information by means of self-reports -using the participants as informants. I'm well aware that this imposes a serious limitation on my ability to interpret my findings. However, I need to know if there has ever been an effort to see how well the ideas of the general population regarding psychiatric diagnoses (particularly, a major depressive disorder diagnosis) are in line with diagnoses confirmed by a psychiatrist. In other words, have there been studies comparing the results of general population self-reports about mental disorders (either their own or that of their family members) with actual psychiatric diagnoses?
I would really appreciate your response.
Sincerely,
Hassan

Is it possible a patient with profound family history, positive HLA B27, significant symptoms of pain in the sacroiliac region, hips, feet and hands to have Ankylosing Spondylitis? After 3 MRI scans there are small changes yet nothing significant enough to prescribe TNF treatment. Is an MRI the only firm way of diagnosis of AS, that in turn leads to TNF treatment in the uk?
I would like like to add here... there is positive diagnosis of osteoarthritis in hands and feet. The 3 MRI scans span over 4 years. However each scan has been during a 'good period' of pain and movement restriction. Drug treatments made available thus far has been NSAIDs with no alleviation from traditional anti inflammatory drugs other than Arcoxia. This worked well to control pain and inflammation but the side effects meant that the course of treatment could not continue.

What are the defining characteristics or factors which make up a family's well-being?
I am conducting archival research on the issues that parents have communicated about with their children in letters they mailed to their children. I am interested in things that gratified parents and things that upset them. I want to examine how these issues changed or remained the same over time. I am particularly interested in locating good archives for such letters in the NY, NJ, PA area. I have found good material at the New York Historical Society and at historical societies in Princeton and Morristown NJ. I would appreciate any information about letter archives that have already been digitized and are available online (if there are such resources). Thanks.
