Mildly Depressed Or Simply Stressed, People Are Tapping ‘Therapy On The Go’ Apps For Mental Health Care

It might be surprising to think about browsing for therapists and ordering up mental health care the way you can peruse a menu on Grubhub or summon a car on Lyft. But over the last decade, digital access to therapy has become increasingly common, in some cases replacing the traditional model of in-person weekly sessions between a therapist and client. Apps for mental health and wellness range from mood trackers, meditation tools and journals to therapy apps that match users to a licensed professional. My team’s research focuses on therapy apps that work by matching clients to a licensed professional. As a social work researcher, I am interested in understanding how these apps affect clients and practitioners. My research team has studied the care that app users receive. We have talked t...

Relationship Therapy Help May Be More Successful For People Who Have ‘Sensitivity’ Genes

If the pandemic has put a strain on your relationship, you might be thinking about going to couples therapy or taking a relationship course to help. After all, research shows that certain relationship education courses can help participants improve their communication skills and relationship quality – which may even prevent divorce. But our research found that whether such courses work for you partly comes down to your genes. While a large body of evidence shows that relationship courses can help couples, one aspect that hasn’t been investigated yet is whether people who are more sensitive benefit more from such programs. We know from other research that sensitivity can affect how well children respond to certain psychological programs. Here, we wanted to find out whether the same might be...

People Post ‘Couple Photos’ As Their Social Media Profile Pictures – Why Is That?

As you scroll through your Facebook news feed, you see it: Your friend has posted a new profile picture. But instead of a picture of just your friend, it’s a couple photo – a picture of your friend and their romantic partner. “Why would someone choose that as their profile picture?” you wonder. We are social psychology researchers interested in understanding people’s behavior in close relationships and on social media. Our research and that of other scholars provides insight into why people use these types of “I’m part of a couple!” displays on social media. Choosing profile photos that include their romantic partner, posting their relationship status and mentioning their partner in their updates can all be signs of how people feel in their relationship – and may send an important message ...

4 essential reads – How Poetry Can Help People Get Through Hard Times

When Russia invaded Ukraine, Ukrainian American writer Ilya Kaminsky’s poem “We Lived Happily During the War” went viral across social media. Poetry can often help people make sense of the world in difficult times. For World Poetry Day, The Conversation U.S. has gathered four articles on the power of poetry. 1. Poetry gives people a voice In 1991, Kentucky poet Frank X. Walker coined the term “Affrilachian” after attending a poetry reading that featured several Black Appalachian poets. Amy M. Alvarez, assistant teaching professor of English at West Virginia University, and Jameka Hartley, an instructor of gender and race studies at University of Alabama, wrote on the history of how Black people in Appalachia found their voice in poetry. “By coining the terms ‘Affrilachia’ and ‘Affrilach...

Sex, Drugs And TikTok: Keeping Young People Safe Needs A Mature Response

Isabelle Volpe, UNSW and Clare Southerton, UNSW You may have read recently that TikTok allegedly “serves up” sex and drug videos to minors. Media reports have described the video-sharing platform, which is designed predominantly for young people, as an “addiction machine” that promotes harmful content. In an investigation, reporters at the Wall Street Journal created 31 bot accounts on TikTok, each programmed to interact only with particular themes of content. Many of the bots were registered as being aged 13-15, including one programmed with an interest in “drugs and drug use”, which was ultimately shown 569 videos related to drugs. The investigation sought to better understand how the app’s algorithm selects videos for users. The workings of these kinds of algorithms are an industry s...

Virtual Is Here To Stay: 5 Creative Ways People Are Connecting In A Digital World

(BPT) - A year into the pandemic and a virtual lifestyle is the reality for many people. Remote work and online education are just the start - many people have taken a virtual approach to the way they shop, socialize, stay connected with friends and family, and much more. The interesting thing is that research shows this shift is here to stay. "Working remotely has accelerated the use of video meeting platforms that keep us connected, whether that's through a computer, mobile device or - as we ease back to offices - conference room system," says John Knightly, chief marketing officer for BlueJeans by Verizon. "What's interesting is our research shows that these platforms are being used for personal reasons more frequently than ever before. People are handling personal to-do's and connectin...

Why Do Some People Fall Apart When A Relationship Comes To An End?

If one has just gone through a break up, they may find that it is hard for them to focus on other areas of their life. Due to how much pain they are in, everything else could fade into the background. Perhaps they were with someone for a long time and they may have even had a strong connection with them. Therefore, now that the relationship has come to an end, it is going to be normal for them to be in pain. Death â What they are going through can be very similar to what they would go through if another person had passed on. Their ex won't have passed on but what they had to together will no longer exist. This shows that it doesn't matter if another person has passed on or if they have just gone from one's life; it is still going to be experienced as a loss. In both cases, their life ...

New Research Finds Narcissistic People Aren’t Just Full Of Themselves – They’re More Likely To Be Aggressive And Violent

The Research Brief is a short take about interesting academic work. The big idea We recently reviewed 437 studies of narcissism and aggression involving a total of over 123,000 participants and found narcissism is related to a 21% increase in aggression and an 18% increase in violence. Narcissism is defined as “entitled self-importance.” The term narcissism comes from the mythical Greek character Narcissus, who fell in love with his own image reflected in still water. Aggression is defined as any behavior intended to harm another person who does not want to be harmed, whereas violence is defined as aggression that involves extreme physical harm such as injury or death. Our review found that individuals high in narcissism are especially aggressive when provoked, but are also aggressive wh...
