Compared to the general population, transpersons are exposed higher levels of discrimination and violence. The stigmatization can lead physical psychological problems. In particular, transindividuals exhibit a prevalence depression compared cispopulation. gender minority stress model (GMSM) provides comprehensive theoretical basis interpret these biopsychosocial interactions. Using GMSM, this study aimed identify associations between experience mental health transitioned using correlational...
Background . Medical gender-affirming interventions (GAI) are important in the transition process of many trans persons. The aim this study was to examine associations between GAI and quality life (QoL) transitioned individuals. Methods 143 persons were recruited from a multicenter outpatient Swiss population as well web-based survey. QoL assessed using Short Form (36) Health Survey questionnaire (SF-36). Depressive symptoms examined Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (ADS-K)....
Psycholinguistic approaches that study the effects of language on mental representations have ignored a potential role grammaticalization future (i.e., how manifests linguistically). We argue may be an important aspect, as thinking about is omnipresent in our everyday life. The aim this was to experimentally manipulate degree time references present and verb tense temporal adverbials) address their impact perceived location events. Across four experiments, two French German, no effect found,...
Recently, researchers have started to experimentally investigate the claim that grammaticalization of future may impact our mental representations events. Yet, this research has mainly focused on perceived distance events, although with inconclusive results. The aim study was explore effects recognition memory as cognitive mechanism affect We used gain-framed health messages further potential applications hypothesized effect. Concretely, participants were presented sentences containing...
Considering how fundamental and ubiquitous temporal information is in discourse (e.g., Zwaan & Radvansky, 1998), it seems rather surprising that the impact of grammaticalization future on way we perceive has only been scarcely studied. We argue this may be due to its abstract nature previously operationalized. In review, lay foundation for studying mental representations by taking an interdisciplinary perspective, connecting cognitive sciences, linguistics, psycholinguistics, economics,...
Background: Experiences of stressful life events during transition may have a negative impact on quality (QoL) in trans persons. Little attention has been paid to this population Switzerland, resulting sparse data their QoL and associated social factors.Methods: 30 participants were recruited medical treatment surveyed experiences within time period (13 months after the first intervention average). After performing diagnostic interview evaluate mental health, health-related QoL,...
The way the future is grammaticalized in language may influence we think about events. However, recent experimental investigations have led to suspicions that this relationship not be driven by tense alone. Rather than simply considering whether a uses mark future, it has been suggested epistemic modality, which marks probability or likelihood, contribute relationship. notion of applicable research health communication, as its goal effectively communicate health-relevant (future) outcomes....
