Retrospectives memories of negative life events and cardiophobia: testing the hypothesis of mediation of hostility
2012Co-Authors: E. Dragkioti, D. Tsartsalis, M. GouvaAbstract:Introduction: Retrospective memories of stressful events during childhood have been related empirically with a wide range of somatization symptoms in adulthood. Objective and Aim: The Objective of the present study was to clarify the possible link between memories of childhood stressful events and adult heart focused anxiety. Method: A community sample of 300 individuals (100 men – 200 women, mean age 33, SD = 12,5 ranged 18–75), completed the Greek version of the Cardiac Anxiety Questionnaire and the Hostility and Direction of Hostility Questionnaire, along with a questionnaire regarding retrospective memories of stressful experiences during childhood. Results: Childhood stressful memories were associated with higher levels of both heart focused anxiety and hostility (r=.005). Elevated levels of cardiac anxiety were also correlated with a Hostile Attitude (r≤.001) Regression models revealed that criticism of others, acting-out hostility, guilt and paranoid hostility fully mediated the link between stressful memories and heart focused anxiety for women (β=.416, β=. 379, β= 529 β=.323, p=

P-1161 - Heart focused anxiety following retrospectives memories of negative life events: the role of hostility
European Psychiatry, 2012Co-Authors: N. Nikolakakis, M. Gouva, Elena Dragioti, D. TsartsalisAbstract:Introduction Retrospective memories of stressful events during childhood have been related empirically with a wide range of symptoms in adulthood. Objective To clarify the possible link between memories of childhood stressful events and adult heart focused anxiety. Aim To investigate whether retrospective stressful memories are associated with cardiac anxiety and if this association is mediated through hostility in adulthood. Method A community sample of 300 individuals (100 men - 200 women, mean age 33, SD = 12,5 ranged 18–75), completed the Cardiac Anxiety Questionnaire, the Hostility and Direction of Hostility Questionnaire and a questionnaire regarding retrospective memories of stressful experiences during childhood. Results Childhood stressful memories were associated with higher levels of both heart focused anxiety and hostility (r = .005). Elevated levels of cardiac anxiety were also correlated with a Hostile Attitude (r ≤.001). Regression models revealed that paranoid hostility fully mediated the link between stressful memories and heart focused anxiety for women (β = 2,918, p = .004), after adjustments. No such mediation was proved in men, thus both retrospective stressful memories during childhood and Hostile Attitudes were independent contributors for anxiety of heart function. No significant differences were found among both sexes, as far as heart focused anxiety (t =−.964, p = .336) and total hostility (t = .342, p = .733) are concerned. Conclusion Findings are consistent with the hypothesis that, in women, childhood stressful memories influences adult levels of cardiac anxiety sensations by fostering paranoid hostility. In men, findings suggest that these memories and hostility are both important independent predictors of adult cardiac anxiety sensitivity.

Displaced Persons in Postwar Germany: Parallel Societies in a Hostile Environment
Journal of Contemporary History, 2014Co-Authors: Jan-hinnerk AntonsAbstract:This article explores the relationship between Displaced Persons (DPs) and Germans in the postwar decade, focusing mostly on Ukrainian DPs. It shows how their almost complete separation from the German population led to well developed parallel societies, which were mutually approved for some time, and analyses the dissimilar motives of DPs and Germans for separation. As a consequence of mass resettlement, it is argued, the national microcosms lost their positive features while the Hostile Attitude of the outside world persisted. The missing revision in the segregation of foreigners from German society after the downfall of National Socialism is recognized as a burden on their future treatment in the FRG.
