Gender differences in traumatic life events, Coping strategies, perceived social support and sociodemographics among postconflict displaced persons in Ethiopia
Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology, 2007Co-Authors: Mesfin Araya, Jayanti Chotai, Ivan H. Komproe, Joop T. V. M. JongAbstract:Background Towards the end of civil war in Ethiopia leading to Eritrea’s independent government in 1991, a large number of persons were displaced from their homes in Eritrea, to reside in shelters in Addis Ababa. We evaluate trauma, Coping, social support and sociodemographics among them particularly in relation to gender. Methods From each randomly selected household in these shelters, a subject was interviewed, yielding 1200 subjects in all. Results Men, compared to women, reported significantly higher physical abuse during childhood in the family, traumatic childhood life events, experience of most traumatic life events related to displacement, and perceived social support. Women reported higher emotion-oriented Coping whereas men reported higher Task-Oriented Coping. Traumatic events were associated with higher emotion-oriented Coping in both genders, and with higher Task-Oriented Coping in women. Perceived social support was correlated positively with Task-Oriented Coping in both genders, but was not associated with traumatic life events. Conclusions Severe trauma is associated with Coping and perceived social support in part differently with regards to gender. Long-term help initiatives to alleviate the psychological wounds lasting for years should incorporate these gender-specific aspects.

relationship of resilience to personality Coping and psychiatric symptoms in young adults
Behaviour Research and Therapy, 2006Co-Authors: Laura Campbellsills, Sharon L Cohan, Murray B SteinAbstract:Abstract Developing a comprehensive understanding of resilience across the lifespan is potentially important for mental health promotion, yet resilience has been vastly understudied compared to disease and vulnerability. The present study investigated the relationship of resilience to personality traits, Coping styles, and psychiatric symptoms in a sample of college students. Measures included the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale, NEO Five Factor Inventory, Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations, and Brief Symptom Inventory. Results supported hypotheses regarding the relationship of resilience to personality dimensions and Coping styles. Resilience was negatively associated with neuroticism, and positively related to extraversion and conscientiousness. Coping styles also predicted variance in resilience above and beyond the contributions of these personality traits. Task-Oriented Coping was positively related to resilience, and mediated the relationship between conscientiousness and resilience. Emotion-oriented Coping was associated with low resilience. Finally, resilience was shown to moderate the relationship between a form of childhood maltreatment (emotional neglect) and current psychiatric symptoms. These results augment the literature that seeks to better define resilience and provide evidence for the construct validity of the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale.
