The moderating role of proactive coping on the relationship between distress tolerance and elevated blood pressure

This study investigated the moderating role of proactive coping on the relationship between distress tolerance and elevated blood pressure (BP) among Nigerian adults with heart disease. Two hundred and forty hypertensive patients were recruited from the cardiology unit of a university teaching hospital (females = 56.2%%; mean age = 41.09 years, SD = 9.11 years). The participants responded to two self-reported measure including the Proactive Coping Inventory (PCI) and the Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS). Following moderated regression analysis, the results showed that proactive coping moderated the relationship between distress tolerance and elevated BP. The slope of the moderation analysis indicated that the relationship between distress tolerance and mean artery pressure was significantly higher for individuals with low proactive coping, as compared to individuals with higher proactive coping. Unlike reactive ways of coping, which addressed already existing stress, interventions aimed at increasing peoples’ proactive coping could be more efficacious in the management of people with high BP.     

An Overview of Charles Alexander's Contribution to Psychology: Developing Higher States of Consciousness in the Individual and the Society

This paper reviews over 100 publications of Charles N. (Skip) Alexander. Skip theoretically showed that the four higher states of consciousness described by Maharishi's Vedic psychology logically extend the developmental sequence delineated by 20th century psychology. His empirical research found that the Transcendental Meditation^® technique provides the direct experience of transcendental consciousness (the first higher state, which is the silent basis of the mind) and that this practice accelerates development in children, unfreezes development in prison inmates, advances ego development in adults, increases productivity in businesses, decreases blood pressure, increases longevity, effectively treats substance abuse, and reduces prison recidivism. Skip and colleagues were the first to discover the EEG signature of cosmic consciousness (the second higher state), and he showed that developmental advances in individuals impact the larger society via a common field of collective consciousness, including decreasing armed conflicts and improving the quality of life.

Hypertension: Cognitive and behavioral considerations

This article reviews literature concerning functional changes resulting from elevated blood pressure, from reduction of blood pressure, and as a result of the medications used to treat high blood pressure. The research reviewed includes the areas of psychomotor speed, intelligence and cognitive processing, sensory and perceptual processes, and emotional and interpersonal behaviors. The conclusions reached are that the deficits noted to date in hypertensive individuals are not extreme nor are they specific. The greatest disadvantage, however, appears in the area of response speed.
