Sexual Sadism Disorder: An Introduction for Mental Health Professionals
Get PDFSexual sadism disorder is characterized by the experience of sexual pleasure through causing, witnessing, or fantasizing about a non-consenting individual’s physical or emotional pain. A commonly misunderstood disorder, its prevalence varies widely depending on the study. There is a lack of inter-clinician reliability concerning diagnosis. Recent efforts have been made to reconceptualize sadism as a dimensional rather than dichotomous construct, resulting in the development of several validated instruments to assist professionals in valid and reliable diagnosis of sexual sadism disorder. The aim of this article is to provide mental health professionals with foundational knowledge on sadism and to provide recommendations for how they can improve their understanding of this unique population to provide more effective and efficient care
Exploring the Nexus of Perfectionism, Physical Activity, and Smartphone Addiction: A Study Among College Adults
Get PDFThe purpose of this quantitative research study was to determine the relationship between perfectionism, physical activity, and smartphone addiction among college students. College students are at a pivotal point in their development toward adulthood and understanding the impact of perfectionism, physical activity, and smartphone addiction on their overall well-being is important for their future success. A cross-sectional correlational study via a quantitative survey with the valid measures of the Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale- Brief (FMPS-B), the International Physical Health Questionnaire- Short Form (IPAQ-S), and the Smartphone Addiction Scale- Short Version (SAS-SV) were used for data collection. Results concluded that a statistical significant relationship between the variables was not evident; however, the practical application highlighted that college adults studying under the kinesiology umbrella can manage the college experience and balance overall well-being. This study contributes to the kinesiology field as studies specific for this population and variables are lacking and shows the value of understanding the impact of the variables on the college experience. It calls for future research to include a larger sample size with diverse educational pathways to better understand the relationship between perfectionism, physical activity, and smartphone addiction among college adults and their overall well-being to aid in success and a positive college experience
