the health care reform as a Critical Life Event investigating medical student commitment to medical career goals in a time of health care reform
Social Science Research Network, 2013Co-Authors: Joel B GoodinAbstract:In order to understand medical students' perceptions of the HCR at this time in the process of its emergence, the proposed study conceptualizes the passage and implementation of the HCR as a neutral Critical Life Event (CLE). A CLE is often, but not always, a negative Event that disrupts the normal course of human Life and progress, causing blockage or delay of goals such that those affected by the CLE must reevaluate the situation, the amount of disruption that the Event caused, the likelihood of continuing striving for their current goals, and the resources that they can use to combat any imbalance that may have been caused by the Event. For many medical students, the HCR may have disrupted expectations (e.g., what “being a physician” may entail), the normal flow of their lives, and progression toward their goals, causing reevaluation of current goal paths (e.g., “Do I still want to continue?”) and examination of resources to continue or change course (e.g., “Do I have too much student debt to quit?”). By framing the HCR within the conceptual framework of a CLE, the proposed study seeks to provide an understanding of the extent to which the HCR is affecting medical students' choice of future medical specialty as they progress through their medical education. Furthermore, choice of medical specialty is only one of many possible indicators of student adjustment to the HCR.

the affordable care act as a Critical Life Event developing a measure of medical student perceptions and outcomes
Social Science Research Network, 2010Co-Authors: Joel B GoodinAbstract:This research aims to understand medical students’ perceptions of the Healthcare Reform Law (HCRL) as a Critical Life Event. A purposive sample of 171 medical students from years one through four at a Southeastern university responded to items regarding their demographics and the Healthcare Reform Thoughts Survey (HCRTS), based within the Critical Life Event (CLE) theoretical framework (Inglehart, 1991). Using a cross-sectional, quantitative methodology, and MANOVA analysis, results suggested medical students’ ratings of the HCRTS subscales vary by year, Wilks’ λ=.362, p

social integration and social support in a Life crisis effects of macrosocial change in east germany
American Journal of Community Psychology, 1994Co-Authors: Ralf Schwarzer, Andre Hahn, Harry SchroderAbstract:The breakdown of the former communist system in East Germany was a major Critical Life Event for those who left that country as well as for those who stayed behind. When the borders were opened, a longitudinal study was launched to examine the psychological readaptation process. Some indicators of social changes of migrants compared to nonmigrants were available. At three points in time over 2 years, both groups reported on their social bonding and social support. Migrants readjusted well by making new friends. In particular, young men were socially active, and more same-sex than opposite-sex friendships were established. The group of young migrants reported having received the most support, in particular when they had a partner. Anticipated support, in contrast, was highest for young single women who did not migrate. Results contribute to the understanding of social dynamics that occur after a stressful relocation.

Describing a Critical Life Event and its psychological consequences: The type of language used by patients suffering from depression and its relationship with personality development
Current Psychology, 2020Co-Authors: Izabela Kaźmierczak, Justyna Sarzyńska-wawer, Aleksander Wawer, Małgorzata ChądzyńskaAbstract:Information on personality development (and its linguistic predictors) in the aftermath of a Critical Life Event among depressive patients is relatively limited. The study’s aim was to verify two hypotheses: (1) Participants with depression will use concrete rather than abstract language to describe their most recent Critical Life Event and its psychological consequences and (2) The more abstract the language used, the higher the level of personality development. 16 Cognitive Behavioral Therapy patients suffering from depression participated in the study ( M = 34 years old; SD = 4.02). Their level of personality development was assessed qualitatively by two independent coders. The coding system was based on the Positive Disintegration Theory (Dąbrowski 1964 ). We used typology from the Linguistic Category Model (Semin and Fiedler 1991 ) to analyse the level of abstractness vs. concreteness. Depressed patients were classified as either abstract language speakers or concrete language speakers. There were equal numbers of both types of speakers. Moreover participants consistently used one type of language, regardless of whether they were describing the Critical Life Event itself or its psychological consequences. As expected, using higher levels of language abstractness when speaking correlated with possessing higher levels of personality development. Our findings provide practitioners with useful knowledge on the benefits of using abstract language to improve supportive strategies when dealing with people in crisis and modify the psychotherapeutic protocols used to treat depression.
