The very long-term impact a natural disaster on prevalence deserves more in-depth detailing. Authors examined resilience university student sample 494. No effect direct exposure (odds ratio = 0.64, 95%CI [0.37, 1.11]), material damages 0.86, [0.60,...
The aim of this investigation was to evaluate defence mechanisms and attachment styles in paranoid ideation through a cross-sectional design with sequential recruitment subjects.Five hundred fifty non-clinical subjects were recruited from university students. A psychometric protocol comprising scale Symptoms Check List (SCL-90-R-Par) identify ideation, Defence Style Questionnaire (DSQ-40) mechanisms, Relationship (RQ) measure then administered.We found significant predictive value immature...

A risky family environment is a well-established factor PLEs; however, different contextual and personal resiliency factors may differentially mediate its effect on PLEs.In this study, we propose two-dimensional model of resilience. Our aim to address separately the mediational role between PLEs in community sample.Five-hundred University students completed on-line questionnaire, including...
