Street Harassment as Seriality: A Critical Phenomenology of Feminist Contestation of Public Space in Brussels

This study was designed to explore individual and dyadic coping strategies in the aftermath of a traumatic event. Eighteen persons having experienced a physical assault or a road accident within six to twelve months before the study, and eighteen matched control persons were recruited together with their partners. Each participant and his/her partner filled in several questionnaires on individual and dyadic coping strategies, level of stress and PTSD-symptomatology. Results indicate that participants having experienced a trauma, compared to controls, report a general lack of dyadic coping and, when facing daily hassles, specific decreases in individual coping strategies. These differences are discussed in the context of marital coping processes.

Lesbian and gay (LG) people are at a high risk of developing mental health problems due to minority stress. To protect their mental health, many LG people manage their stigmatised sexual identity by engaging or disengaging from the LGBTQ+ community through collective or individual coping strategies. The present study used longitudinal data (N = 403 LG young adults) collected over one year to examine whether the temporal association between minority stress and mental health was mediated by LGBTQ+ identification, social support (i.e., collective coping strategies), and individual mobility (i.e., individual coping strategy). A multilevel parallel mediation model showed that LGBTQ+ identification (within-person effect) and individual mobility (between-person effect) were significant mediators, whereas social support was not. Specifically, higher minority stress among LG people increased their likelihood of either identifying with, or distancing themselves from, the LGTBQ+ community, which in turn was associated with improved mental health. However, the mediation of individual mobility became non-significant after controlling for LG people’s perception of the low status of the LGBTQ+ community as stable (i.e., changeable) and legitimate (i.e., justifiable). The present study contributes to clarifying how and under which conditions collective and individual coping strategies can protect LG people from the adverse effects of minority stress.

The cases of street harassment are increasing with women as victims, causing humiliation and traumatic conditions. Public places such as commuter lines are the common places where street harassment often happens. Departing from this issue, this research seeks to investigate the mechanism of the enquiry into street harassment cases in the Regional Police Department of Jakarta Raya and the impeding factors faced by the police and the commuter line company regarding street harassment in the commuter line. Combining doctrinal and empirical research methods, this research has found that the enquiry following the report made on the case involves report submission, investigation, witness investigation, deciding the defendant, evidence collection, and filing. The commuter line company has received reports, conducted coordination with the police department, and transferred the perpetrator to the police when the victim wishes to proceed with the report. However, the police department has been facing issues in discovering information from the victim due to stigma. Another issue faced by the commuter line company is that most victims choose not to proceed with the report and prefer posting the problems on social media, and this trend seems to present another problem for the authorities concerned. The Regional Police Department of Jakarta Raya has taken preventive and repressive actions by giving further introduction and strict measures against the perpetrators. Departing from this issue, the commuter company initiated to provide special train cars for women and a 5D method.

The article presents the problem of overcoming stress by athletes at different stages of their sports career. The study involved 76 athletes aged 18-23 years, competing in various sports teams. According to the results of the identification of personal and group coping resources in athletes, a cluster analysis was carried out. The purpose of clustering is to identify possible options for regulating individual and team coping strategies. A comparison of groups that united younger and older athletes showed that the success of overcoming stress at different stages of a sports career differs in determinants and the degree of their inclusion in the process of maintaining psychological stability. At the initial stage of their career, athletes randomly involve coping resources in the fight against stress, using mainly individual coping strategies. At the peak of a sports career, the relevance of the use of individual copings decreases and the importance of team copings increases, resources are used in a balanced and reasonable manner.

Dyadic coping moderates the impact of individual coping strategies on CRP among individuals facing chronic parenting stress

Individual coping strategies and dyadic coping independently predict partner well-being and relationship functioning; however, it is unclear whether the coping processes are inter-related and whether they uniquely contribute to romantic relationship functioning. One hundred heterosexual dating couples rated the individual coping strategy of negative mood regulation as well as positive and negative dyadic coping. Relationship functioning was assessed via partners' reports of relationship satisfaction and observers' ratings of negative interaction in conflict. Actor-Partner Interdependence Models (APIMs; Cook & Kenny, 2005; Kashy & Kenny, 2000) revealed associations between individual coping and dyadic coping in the predicted directions. APIMs also indicated the unique contributions of positive and negative dyadic coping to relationship functioning, above and beyond contributions of individual coping strategies. Implications of dyadic coping as a target of efforts to prevent or treat partner and/or relational distress are discussed.

Online spaces that enable shared public interpersonal communications are of significant social, organizational, and economic importance. In this paper, a theoretical model and associated unobtrusive method are proposed for researching the relationship between online spaces and the behavior they host. The model focuses on the collective impact that individual information-overload coping strategies have on the dynamics of open, interactive public online group discourse. Empirical research was undertaken to assess the validity of both the method and the model, based on the analysis of over 2.65 million postings to 600 Usenet newsgroups over a 6-month period. Our findings support the assertion that individual strategies for coping with “information overload” have an observable impact on large-scale online group discourse. Evidence was found for the hypotheses that: (1) users are more likely to respond to simpler messages in overloaded mass interaction; (2) users are more likely to end active participation as the overloading of mass interaction increases; and (3) users are more likely to generate simpler responses as the overloading of mass interaction grows. The theoretical model outlined offers insight into aspects of computer-mediated communication tool usability, technology design, and provides a road map for future empirical research.

This study investigated the association of individual and dyadic coping strategies with fear of progression (FoP) in mothers and fathers of children with hematologic cancer. Parental couples (N=44) whose children had been diagnosed with hematologic cancer were recruited at a university hospital and a rehabilitation clinic in Germany between 03/2017 and 08/2017. Data included parents' self-report on FoP (Fear of Progression Questionnaire-parent version, FoP-Q-SF/PR), individual coping (Coping Health Inventory for Parents, CHIP-D), and dyadic coping (Dyadic Coping Inventory, DCI). Statistical analyses were carried out for mothers and fathers individually as well as for parental couples using dyadic data analyses (e.g., actor-partner interdependence model, APIM). Individual and dyadic coping strategies were significantly correlated with FoP in mothers, but not in fathers. Fathers' evaluation of the couple's dyadic coping significantly predicted mothers' FoP. The more frequent use of familial integration (CHIP-D FAM) and maintaining social support (CHIP-D SUP) as well as a better evaluation of their partners' dyadic coping was significantly associated with lower FoP in mothers. Differences in individual and dyadic coping in parental couples were not associated with FoP. Individual and dyadic coping strategies should be addressed in the psychosocial care of mothers and fathers of children with hematologic cancer. Study results support the benefits of involving fathers in psychosocial interventions, for example, in couple-based interventions that acknowledge interpersonal effects of coping on FoP. Future research should further explore coping strategies applied by fathers of children with hematologic cancer for the regulation of FoP.

Human enhancement technologies raise serious ethical questions about health practices no longer content simply to treat disease, but which now also propose to "optimize" human beings' physical, cognitive and psychological abilities. These technologies call for a reassessment of our relationship to health, the human body and the body's organic, identity and social functions. In nursing, such considerations are in their infancy. In this paper, we argue for the relevance of critical phenomenology as a way to better understand the ethical issues related to human enhancement technologies (HET). In so doing, we seek to problematize HET and assess their influence on the future development of nursing science and practice. It is difficult to anticipate the concrete effects of HET, we suggest, because these practices reconfigure the meaning of normativity and disorient our conventional ethical landscape. In this context, we argue that the later work of Martin Heidegger and Michel Foucault invites a critical perspective into how techno-scientific discourses modify our relationship to care, to health and to our own social and corporeal identities. Despite the traditional philosophical opposition between phenomenology and critical theory, we maintain that a hybrid critical phenomenological approach opens new ways to assess the integration of technology and practice. Our analysis understands HET as a process of "hybridization" between technological objects and human subjects. Critical phenomenology thus effectively questions anthropocentric definitions of technology, challenges the dichotomy between curative treatment and enhancement and, finally, prompts valuable reflection on the implications of HET for nursing theory and practice.

Aim. The aim of this paper is to theoretically substantiate individual’s attachment as a need for ontological security, to outline the educational aspects of supporting the ontological security, and to empirically investigate the attachment styles and coping strategies of individuals in early and middle adulthood. Methods. The article is based on an extensive review of the literature, which involves the use of such methods as interpretation (of previously unexplained psychological aspects of ontological security) and comparative analysis (of the views of Ronald Laing and family psychotherapists). An empirical study was conducted. The study group consisted of 90 persons: 45 male and 45 female, at the age of early and middle adulthood. The research used a number of psychological methods to study different types of attachments, relationships, personality traits and coping strategies that help overcome ontological insecurity. The method of statistical and mathematical analysis of results was also applied. Results. Ontological security is a marker of positive types of attachment. Our empirical research has shown that people with anxious attachment more often overcome ontological insecurity by positively rethinking the problem, which can lead to an underestimation of the possibilities of its effective solution. People with a reliable attachment are ontologically secure due to mutual trust, responsibility, problem analysis and planning, which eliminate escape strategies and problem avoidance. Conclusions. Ontological security-insecurity manifests itself in different types of attachments and corresponding coping strategies. The results showed the importance of developing and adapting the methodology of ontological protection for Ukrainian socio-cultural realities. This technique is being prepared to be operationalized with the scales of psychological techniques used in this study.

This paper is an autoethnographic account of situated ethics and risk during fieldwork. Specifically, it discusses experiences of gendered street harassment while conducting walking interviews with women in Manchester, UK. These are shared as a series of vignettes, each illustrating a different incident. It utilises Vera‐Gray's (2016) conception of ‘men's stranger intrusions’ to understand what happened because each encounter irrevocably changed the trajectory of the research conversations it disrupted. Navigating through these incidents, this work reconsiders the ethics of empirical research in a UK city and what constitutes an acceptable risk. It discusses the impact of everyday sexism and street harassment on both the researcher and their work. Making these stories visible matters, because it centres the restrictions women may feel and strategies they develop to enable their continued participation in public life despite gendered threats. Thinking through possible implications for future research, it concludes with some practical recommendations to mitigate potential harms. Mitigations do not negate the need for wider structural changes to eliminate the threat of gender‐based violence, nor do they signal resignation that we must minimise ourselves, or that perpetrators must not take responsibility for violence against women. These suggestions for practical actions researchers can take are based on lived experience and shared in a spirit of care, resistance, solidarity, and rage.

Background: The background of this research is the increased prevalence of chronic hypertension Indonesia. So it needs patient's ability to control the disease in their life time. There were miss perception between situation demand caused hypertension and the patient’s ability to cope with it. So it becomes the major problem which needs some support in every sources. Purpose:The purpose of this study is to analyze correlation between the sources of social support from spouses, family, fellow sufferers of hypertension and individuals coping strategy in self-management of hypertension. Methods: The research method was analytical cross sectional study and the data analysis used chi square test. Data collection used modified questionnairre from the previous research, such as social support from Thai Family upport Scale for Elderly Parents (TPSS-EP), and individual coping strategies from Halim (2014) which modified Lazarus’s Way of Coping (developed by Aldwin and Reverson in 1987). This studyinvolved 126 respondents based on purposive sampling criteria. Results: The results of this study showed that there was relationship between social support and individual coping strategy (ρ-value = 0.000). the most social support obtained from spouses (57,11%). Conclusions: The conclusion of thi research showed that social support was unfavorable to individual coping strategy in hypertension patient in Tugopagu Village Recommendation:The community nurses should give the intervention to reduce the stressor and support them to cope with it by giving some knowledge about: (1) alternative problem solving (2) problem solving action (3) seeking some support and help, and (4) seeking information

Critical phenomenology is a rapidly flourishing field of research within philosophical phenomenology. This article undertakes a genealogy of the critical philosophical enterprise, drawing out its key commitments, motivations, tensions, and productive potential. In the second half of this article, I explore the promise of critical phenomenology, by examining how a critical phenomenological approach to questions of racism and racialised embodiment can help extend our understanding of white supremacy, opening up new possibilities for thinking its banality and ubiquity in contemporary social and political life.

ABSTRACTGiven the vast scope and magnitude of the phenomenon of so‐called “illegal” migration in the present historical moment, this article contends that phenomenologically engaged ethnography has a crucial role to play in sensitizing not only anthropologists, but also policymakers, politicians, and broader publics to the complicated, often anxiety‐ridden and frightening realities associated with “the condition of migrant illegality,” both of specific host society settings and comparatively across the globe. In theoretical terms, the article constitutes a preliminary attempt to link pressing questions in the fields of legal anthropology and anthropology of transnational migration, on one hand, with recent work by phenomenologically oriented scholars interested in the anthropology of experience, on the other. The article calls upon ethnographers of undocumented transnational migration to bridge these areas of scholarship by applying what can helpfully be characterized as a “critical phenomenological” approach to the study of migrant “illegality” (Willen, 2006; see also Desjarlais, 2003). This critical phenomenological approach involves a three‐dimensional model of illegality: first, as a form of juridical status; second, as a sociopolitical condition; and third, as a mode of being‐in‐the‐world. In developing this model, the article draws upon 26 non‐consecutive months of ethnographic field research conducted within the communities of undocumented West African (Nigerian and Ghanaian) and Filipino migrants in Tel Aviv, Israel, between 2000 and 2004. During the first part of this period, “illegal” migrants in Israel were generally treated as benign, excluded “Others.” Beginning in mid‐2002, however, a resource‐intensive, government‐sponsored campaign of mass arrest and deportation reconfigured the condition of migrant “illegality” in Israel and, in effect, transformed these benign “Others” into wanted criminals. By analyzing this transformation the article highlights the profound significance of examining not only the judicial and sociopolitical dimensions of what it means to be “illegal” but also its impact on migrants' modes of being‐in‐the‐world.

Although resilience among victims of child abuse is commonly understood as a process of interaction between individuals and their environments, there have been very few studies of how children's individual coping strategies, social supports and formal services combine to promote well-being. For this study, we conducted a multi-phase analysis of a qualitative dataset of 608 interviews with young people from five countries using grounded theory strategies to build a substantive theory of young people's service and support use patterns. We started with an analysis of ten interviews (two from each country) and then compared these findings to patterns found in each country's full dataset. The substantive theory that emerged explains young people's transience between individual coping strategies (cognitive and behavioral), reliance on social supports (family members, peers and teachers), and engagement with formal service providers whose roles are to provide interventions and case management. Young people's patterns of navigation were shown to be contingent upon the individual's risk exposure, his or her individual capacity to cope, and the quality of the formal and informal supports and services that are available and accessible. Differing amounts of formal resources in low-, middle- and high-income countries influence patterns of service use. Implications for better coordination between formal mental health services and social supports are discussed.
