V.1. Thesis - The neuroanatomical correlates of subjective wellbeing following head injury -- v.2. Professional portfolio - The relationship between anxiety disorders, chronic illness and psychological adjustment |
| Summary |
The thesis found results supporting the involvement of the Right Frontal area of the brain in the subjective wellbeing (SWB) of individuals. Additional results suggested SWB is dependent upon Core Affect, itself dependent upon the Right Parietal area of the brain. These results provide evidence that SWB and Core Affect are based upon a neurological substrate. The portfolio investigated the association between chronic medical conditions and anxiety disorders, and how the occurence of anxiety issues can affect overall psychological adjustment to illness |
