Ingrid Ylva och tornet i Bjälbo
Full text linkThe article discusses the background to the erection of the huge church tower in Bjälbo, Östergötland, Sweden. It also focuses on medieval women as founders of churches. The author maintains that new dendrochronological dating of the tower could mean that founder of this building piece was not one of the male members of the important Bjälbo dynasty, but Ingrid Ylva the mother of Birger Jarl
Impacts of childhood psychological maltreatment on adult mental health
Full text linkPrevious studies have shown the negative impacts of child abuse on mental health in later life. Compared to physical and sexual abuse, psychological maltreatment has received less attention. Emerging literature has explored the associations between psychological maltreatment on adult mental health. However, no systematic review or meta-analysis focuses on the associations between childhood psychological maltreatment and adult mental health while controlling for other adverse childhood experiences. In addition, there is a lack of measures in China that focus on assessing childhood psychological maltreatment in all its relevant dimensions. Further, limited studies have explored the associations between different types and profiles of childhood psychological maltreatment and its associations with adult mental health.
Therefore, this thesis aims to fill these gaps by reviewing previous literature on childhood psychological maltreatment and adult mental health, translating and validating a measure that focuses on childhood psychological maltreatment for use in China, assessing the associations between different types of childhood psychological maltreatment and adult mental health, and exploring different profile patterns in Chinese and the UK populations of childhood psychological maltreatment and its associations on mental well-being.
Chapter 1 provides a brief background to the existing literature on childhood psychological maltreatment and its associations with adult mental health outcomes. It also presents an overview of frequently used measures assessing childhood psychological maltreatment in China and the UK. In addition, this chapter demonstrates the key gaps in the previous literature. Chapter 2 uses a systematic review approach to review the previous literature on childhood psychological maltreatment and various adult mental health outcomes (i.e., depression and anxiety, eating disorders, personality disorders, suicidal ideation and attempts, substance abuse, and other psychological symptoms). It also reviews the comparison of the mental health outcomes between clinical populations and the general population on the prevalence of childhood psychological abuse and neglect. Meta-analyses are conducted on several themes (i.e., depression and anxiety, suicidal ideation, and clinical population) to explore the effects sizes of childhood psychological abuse on these mental health outcomes. Chapter 3 introduces, translates, and validates the Psychological Maltreatment Review (PMR) for the Chinese population. Factorial validity, internal consistency, convergent and divergent validity, and gender measurement invariance are assessed. Chapter 4, which builds on Chapters 2 and 3, uses the higher-order model to examine the associations between childhood psychological abuse, neglect, and non-support and various mental health outcomes (i.e., depression, anxiety, anger, hostility, and physical aggression). This chapter explores whether different types of childhood psychological maltreatment are more harmful than others, whether the harms associated with different types of psychological maltreatment are generalised or specific to particular domains of psychopathology, and whether there are gender invariances in these associations. Building on Chapter 4, which compares sub-dimensions of childhood psychological maltreatment, Chapter 5 explores the effects of different profiles of psychological maltreatment in the Chinese and the UK population. Various mental health outcomes, such as depression, anxiety, and aggression, and broader well-being, such as self-esteem, are assessed. Lastly, Chapter 6 provides a general summary of the results from Chapters 2 – 5 and an overall discussion. In conclusion, this thesis contributes to understanding the associations between childhood psychological maltreatment and adult mental health. The empirical findings of this thesis emphasise the need to have policies that prevent psychological maltreatment and interventions that can address its psychological harms
Investigating time perspective as transdiagnostic processes across mental disorders
No full textTime perspective, encompassing past, present, and future dimensions, serves to imbue life experiences with order, coherence, and meaning. Abundant evidence suggests its association with a wide spectrum of mental illnesses. Notably, intervention strategies incorporating future time perspective (FTP) have gained significant traction in mental health. FTP, as a dimension of time perspective, represents the general mental capacity to anticipate the future, facilitating self-regulation, such as goal-seeking behaviours. Despite the recognition of time perspective as a likely transdiagnostic process, a comprehensive synthesis of its association with various mental disorders remains lacking. Furthermore, the promotive role of FTP necessitates an integrated model to elucidate its associations with a range of symptoms simultaneously, as well as rigorous examination at an intra-individual level to evaluate its effectiveness as an intervention strategy. To address these gaps, this thesis comprises four empirical studies. Chapter 2 presents a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis, exploring the transdiagnostic associations between different dimensions of time perspective and mental health problems. Multi-level random effect meta-analyses, utilising robust variance estimation methods for dimensions with sufficient effect sizes (df ≥ 4), suggest that various dimensions of time perspective are associated with different mental health problems. Specifically, internalising problems are linked to the future, present fatalistic, past positive, and past negative dimensions, and the synthesised index DBTP; addiction is associated with the future, present hedonistic, present fatalistic, and past negative dimensions; and neuroticism is related to the present fatalistic, past positive, and past negative dimensions. Additionally, the past negative dimension is associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and externalising problems, while the future and present hedonistic dimensions are linked to impulsivity.
Importantly, these associations persist even after removing outliers. Chapter 3 employs a bifactor modelling approach, coupled with a cross-informant methodology, to investigate whether future orientation constitutes a transdiagnostic process. The findings suggest a transdiagnostic promotive role of future orientation in mental health and neurodevelopmental outcomes, particularly in the shared variance across conduct problems, ADHD symptoms, emotional difficulties, and peer problems during adolescence. In Chapter 4, a detailed examination of the specific components of the future time perspective is conducted. This analysis identifies future self-valence and self-connectedness as transdiagnostic factors negatively correlated with a spectrum of mental health problems (i.e., internalising, ADHD, psychosis-like symptoms, and substance use). Lastly, Chapter 5 examines the longitudinal association between occupational future time perspective and psychological/neurodevelopmental outcomes (i.e., internalising, externalising, and ADHD symptoms) using Random Intercept Cross-Lagged Panel Modelling (RI-CLPM). While the analysis uncovers some effects, unlike previous cross-sectional analyses, robust cross-lagged associations were not found when examining within-person longitudinal effects, prompting further investigation to better illuminate the nature of these associations. Collectively, these studies offer new insights into the interplay between time perspective and mental health, shedding light on its potential as a more targeted intervention strategy
