Out of the inquiry description, your investigation could be mixed methods research or a multimethod study. The former focuses on integration, and the latter aims for combination. Therefore, you should be clear on how you plan to use the quantitative and the qualitative parts of your probe. You might refer to the following article for helpful insights on the distinction.

Social media usually help to spread mental health issues.

Let us call that: virtual epidemics.

Social media are, maybe, good to start help networks as information data base

This is due to the evolution of human behavior as a small group creature.

Psychological anthropology is the study of psychological topics using anthropological concepts and methods. Among the areas of interest are personal identity, selfhood, subjectivity, memory, consciousness, emotion, motivation, cognition, madness, and mental health.

https://www.oxfordbibliographies.com/view/document/obo-9780199766567/obo-9780199766567-0124.xml A very close relationship is found between anthropology and psychology. Psychology studies the mental creations and behaviors of humans. Anthropology, on the other hand, is a holistic study of humans. There is a comparative study of human behavior and experiences.

Imo, the most exciting intersection is the history of madness, with respect to madness and civilization, e.g. rapid cultural change and mental health.

Sleep problems such as insomnia are a common symptom of many mental illnesses, including anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Excellent question and also excellent answers that we are reading, blessings to all those attending this magnificent forum.

It turns out that there are inevitably morbodidactogenic relationships, that is inevitable.

The teacher attends his classes with a health identity, that is, a state of physical and mental health that gives him a state of mind and therefore, a specific state to be able to relate to others.

First of all it is about relationships with students, but if we talk about their relationships in the institutional context, it is known that it is also about a relationship with co-workers and a relationship with their bosses.

The state of health is decisive to have a good relationship with other people, that is, to the extent that we are happy and healthy, we will be in better conditions to be able to relate healthily with others, to be able to offer other people a friendly relationship constructive and satisfying.

It is necessary to know in advance that health, as the United Nations Organization has said since 1948, is not about the absence of disease. Health is a good physical, mental and social state.

It turns out that if the teacher is overwhelmed by mental and social problems, then it becomes very difficult for him to give a good education to his students.

It also turns out that as long as the teacher is prepared and in good spirits, he will be able to prepare a good class more successfully, with a good teaching activity the learning time of his students will pass happily, however, if the teacher prepares activities with little elaboration and attends to the classroom to earn a salary, then the students get distracted, get tired or finally in one way or another their students rebel and the class becomes hell.

It is a whole cycle explained multifactorially and in which the skill and health of the teacher influences, to a greater or lesser extent, to be able to function satisfactorily, to be able to be lovingly respected by their students, by the directors of the school, by the parents of families, as well as society in general.

A teacher who is respected and loved by the community in which he lives will earn a good social image. A good social image of the teacher is a source of encouragement, of self-satisfaction for the teacher himself, of self-affirmation at work:

These components of professional practice influence the mental health of the teacher.

A teacher with good mental health provides a better education to his students.

These analyzes are explained in more detail in the following link.

Hello Rachael! From the information you provided, I would like to suggest that you might need to get your research question and research hypotheses at first place. Then you could consider which method of analysis will be suitable to address your RQ and test your hypotheses. From my experience, it might not be a good practice to propose statistical analysis without any RQ and hypotheses. Besides, you might also need to specify the rule how you split your data. Taking your IV for example, will the variable still be numerical (scores) or nominal (high/low) after the splitting? as the type of variable will affect the decision of which statistical analysis we can conduct. I hope this will help.

Rhianon Allen makes a very useful point. With a regression, you can define the effects that interest you. In this case, a) what is the effect of having children and b) does the presence of mental health issues have an additional effect over and above that of having children.

With an ANOVA, you end up asking if there's "some kinda" difference between the groups. You rarely encounter a situation where the's the best hypothesis that the current state of theory and evidence can come up with. Looking back on it, I don't think that in my entire life I've ever used an ANOVA in a published paper.

Interested to participate in the survey on perception on the Russia-Ukraine war 2022.

The borderline between both approaches is the role and range of human agency,

with respect to the interplay of physical reality and human psychology (perception is everything, reality is nothing refers more to the constructionist explanation model, while psychological perception is limited by physical reality refers more to structuralist view, post or not). In terms of ontology, constructionism focuses more on communication, structuralism is more centered around consequences of human inter-action. A cybernetic approach is able to integrate both positions or viewpoints, e.g. in the tradition of Hv Foerster (Understanding Understanding).

DID is rare and remains controversial. I am attaching an article in this regard just for base reference.

Why don't you look at some aspect of deafness/loss of hearing in a (say) Hong Kong population. You could look at covid; social isolation in Deaf teenagers; romantic relations between Deaf/deaf individuals and others with or without hearing loss. This would certainly make you stand out in your clinical doctorate application. You could look at the Clinical Psychology Forum December 2021 which had a special edition on various aspects of Deafness/hearing loss. If you are desperate you could look at some of my papers on ResearchGate. I will be putting another four on in the next couple of days. Good luck, MJB

The WHOQOL-BREF does not have a total score because quality of life is not a single dimension. Variables may show different relationships with the different domains of quality of life. So don't be in a rush to get a single outcome variable!

That said, question 1 is a good overall question, frequently used as a single item measure of quality of life (I've used it myself!). You can model this using ordered logistic regression.

I recommend that you read the recent publication by Duffus et al. Published in Diebetes Spectrum in 2019:

Quantifying mental health, with respect to mood science.

As a visual artist & children's educator, I disagree. Creative thinking & doing is often promoted by a crisis as we look for compensations and we've had plenty of time to work on new ideas. The last 2 years have been one of my most productive periods and diverse disciplines have opened their minds and doors to new creative approaches. Children are fully engaged with creative approaches. Art often thrives in periods of adversity and uncertainty. It becomes a fundamental need for human survival. I think you will see a new era of exciting creative projects.

Mohammad A. Amleh , the idea that you can ignore the distribution of the underlying population if the sample size is 30 or greater has always been untrue, and has been bad advice at least since we've had modern computers that allow us to easily fit generalized linear models or conduct relatively complex nonparametric tests.

I present a quote from Rand Wilcox below.

Please don't continue to promote this antiquated advice.

Also note that while it's fair to summarize the central limit theorem as being about "sufficiently large random sample", it doesn't say anything about what sample size would be sufficiently large in a given situation. There's nothing magical about the number 30.

Three Modern Insights Regarding Methods for Comparing Means

There have been three modern insights regarding methods for comparing means, each of which has already been described. But these insights are of such fundamental importance that it is worth summarizing them here.

• Resorting to the central limit theorem in order to justify the normality assumption can be highly unsatisfactory when working with means. Under general conditions, hundreds of observations might be needed to get reasonably accurate confidence intervals and good control over the probability of a Type I error. Or in the context of Tukey's three-decision rule, hundreds of observations might be needed to be reasonably certain which group has the largest mean. When using Student's T, rather than Welch's test, concerns arise regardless of how large the sample sizes might be.

• Practical concerns about heteroscedasticity (unequal variances) have been found to much more serious than once thought. All indications are that it is generally better to use a method that allows unequal variances.

• When comparing means, power can be very low relative to other methods that might be used. Both differences in skewness and outliers can result in relatively low power. Even if no outliers are found, differences in skewness might create practical problems. Certainly there are exceptions. But all indications are that it is prudent not to assume that these concerns can be ignored.

Despite the negative features just listed, there is one positive feature of Student's T is worth stressing. If the groups being compared do not differ in any manner, meaning that they have identical distributions, so in particular the groups have equal means, equal variances, and the same amount of skewness, Student's T appears to control the probability of a Type I error reasonably well under nonnormality. That is, when Student's T rejects, it is reasonable to conclude that the groups differ in some manner, but the nature of the difference, or the main reason Student's T rejected, is unclear. Also note that from the point of view of Tukey's three-decision rule, testing and rejecting the hypothesis of identical distributions is not very interesting.

Hello,

Mental health literacy is a very relevant topic and really not very extended in Spain.

From the University of Burgos (Spain) we have published the article "Análisis de los Programas educativos sobre alfabetización en salud mental. Revisión documental" that may be of interest to you.

In addition, in the bibliography you can find other relevant articles.

I agree with Béatrice Marianne Ewalds-Kvist that IPA and GT typically emphasize different goals, so you should start by clarifying your research questions and purposes. Right now, it sounds like you want to work with prior theory, which would not be a good fit to GT.

In addition, the two methods differ with regard to how they handle coding, so you should also consider what combination of data collection and coding works best for you.

Hi,

a chara Dr Remco: Thank you for your illuminating response. While trying urgently to complete the final chapter #17 of my draft text, I'm tempted to put on Pat Jennings' gloves (legendary Northern Ireland football goal-keeper) to collect & extend your metaphorical 'open-goal' reference. The Critical Suicide Studies Network, (CSSN) would argue that such an 'escape route' - the suicide option - for those sisters and brothers, miserably despairing & suicidal, is a construct built and maintained by a society (US modelled, conditioned, reinforced and rewarded) that ignores contexts, cultures, and dominant social/political systems, while enforcing a burgeoning, suffocating, coercive, individualistic psychological regime that fails so many 'patients'. My late brother (RIP) lost his 31 year-old life having become entangled in such an impersonal, pharmacological labyrinth. Dear Remco, have a look at the CSSN website: it could point to a different way of thinking about suicide for all of us. Slan Philip O'Keeffe PhD

A nice general overview, not specifically about mental health, with some hints of skepticism and modest insinuations of paternalism:

Sheikh Shoib have a look please

Perhaps our papers can give you any ideas:

Respected Dana Scheriff, you have come up with an interesting question that requires our going back to basic comparison process. To understand the level of complexity hidden in your question, suppose a simple situation. During a difficult time, I indulged in some activities make them as different as possible. Suppose, hiking, reading and eating. Now, I want to compare them whether they are different from each other. In this supposed example, there is a possibility to compare time allocated to each of the activities. However, your case of comparing the values of these scales is far more complex than the supposed example.

You need to change your question a bit. You can compare different groups on the basis of these scales one at a time. For instance, you can compare the knowledge of mental health for male and female. The test in this instance will be independent samples t-test.

You can also think of using correlation or regression in this case, but comparing apple with rock would be difficult.

Yet, thanks for placing such a question.

You are involved in very interesting program the need of the present age, which has attracted my attention .Research participant in such areas may act under the academic level but the areas cover by you calls for Meditation , Spiritual vibration , power of prayer , for creating environment of the vibration , distant healing & such other performance of our mind both from the within & outside .

Knowledge & experience in said line may certainly serve the purpose of your academic action for which I wish you the best of luck .With my prayer for your successful program ,May God bless you

This is my personal opinion

Passive remote objective assessment and intervention is an emerging next wave. See Ksana Health (https://www.ksanahealth.com/) & HealthRhythms (https://www.healthrhythms.com/).

The mental health problem affecting children in conflict zones is massive, yet governments lack the resources to address it.

The simplest analysis would be a repeated measures ANOVA, with the repeated measures factor being defined by the emotional intelligence scores before and after a night shift. Yours additional variables can be added to the model as between-subject continuous variables (sometimes referred to as covariates in packages as SPSS), or as between-subject factors. The interactions of the repeated measures factor with the covariates or between-subject factor will let you know if the effect of occasion is different for different values of your additional variables.

One main problem with using this simple approach is that if there is attrition, then the cases analysed can only be those with complete data. If there is a substantial amount of missing data, then other more advanced procedures will need to be used to minimize bias (eg linear mixed models, multiple imputation etc).

A cross-sectional study is the study design of choice to determine the prevalence since it is not costly to perform and does not require a lot of time and captures a specific point in time

With respect to the works of Israel Kirzner on entrepreneurship and entrepreneurs,

it is very reasonable to assume a huge impact of lived experiences, especially the 'need to find the gap' and 'to look around the corner', i.e. making from less more.

Kirzner was very outspoken in his many lectures (e.g. available on you tube) on entrepreneurship=if I would be an entrepreneur, I would not be here to give this lecture. Personally, I do think a very methodical life-style, monetary prudence and the ability to deutero- (open-multiple-loop) learning are basic life skills to be-come an entrepreneur.

Again, from a statistical perspective, it is best not to categorize/form groups and to rather use the variable/score as is, taking advantage of its (quasi-) continuous (metrical) scale level. Otherwise, you lose information. There are plenty of statistical procedures available for continuous variables and those are typically more powerful than procedures for categorical/ordinal variables.

Most categorization methods are also rather ad hoc/arbitrary (e.g., median or quartile split). A model-based approach that is less arbitrary is latent profile analysis (LPA), which allows you to identify latent groups based on continuous variables. Often, these groups come out as low, medium, high. However, LPA requires multiple continuous indicator variables.

First, you should decide whether you would like to use a structured or semi-structured interview format. Both have their advantages but the advantage of the semi-structured interview is that it gives you the flexibility to explore topics and issues as they arise during the course of the interview whilst maintaining a consistent underlying structure.

Second, you should list the themes you would like to explore in your interviews and then generate a list of questions for each theme. Themes allow you to conduct thematic analysis of participant responses which is often used in qualitative research.

Third, you should then find three or so people who will help you to validate your measurement tool. One way is to give them a list of your interview questions and themes and ask them to match each question to the theme they think is the best fit to assess whether others agree with your pairing of specific themes and questions. You can also use this to obtain feedback and improve your surveys before using them in your study.

As already indicated, the STAGES, according to the Natural History of both psychoptologies, would be AND IT IS unethical and antimoral to see how they appear and evolve WITHOUT INTERVENING IN THEM !; But the LEVELS or DEGREES or STAGES of SEVERITY are universally categorized or hierarchical, from less to more, as: a) ABSENT, b) MILD, c) MODERATE and d) SERIOUS -which is how they are hierarchized, for example, the BDI -Beck Depression Inventory- and BAI -Beck Anxiety Inventory-
