Adopting Fehr and Schmidt’s (1999) framework of ‘self-centred inequality’, we study absolute achievement, relative deprivation and relative satisfaction as predictors of depressive symptoms. Our empirical analysis is based on the 2012 Mexican Demographic and Health Survey, which is nationally representative and covers 43,912 individuals. We find that each of those variables is a significant pre...

Who feels more deprived in Turkey? What is the role of demographic factors this perception deprivation? This study a search for an answer to these questions. Accordingly, we first examined four models relative deprivation perception. We considered Davis's, Runciman's, Gurr's, and Crosby's explaining deprivation. The common point addressed by all that based on social comparisons occur at individ...

BACKGROUND Several studies postulate that psychological conditions may contribute to the link between low relative income and poor health, but no one has directly tested the relationship between relative deprivation and mental health disorders. In this paper, we investigate whether low income relative to a reference group is associated with a higher probability of depressive disorders or anxiet...

Relative spacings are relative differences between order statistics. In this context, we extend previous results concerning the increasing convex of two distributions from case consecutive to general spacings. The sufficient conditions given in terms expected proportional shortfall order. As an application, compare deprivation within some parametric families income distributions.

Prior research on social class differences in adult mental illness suggests that relative differences in affluence impact mental health and well-being more than absolute affluence. However, it is unclear whether relative deprivation also relates to adolescent mental health and to both internalizing and externalizing dimensions of mental health. This study examined the association between relati...

We have studied the mechanism of Na+ deprivation-induced catecholamine secretion from freshly isolated bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. Na+ deprivation-induced catecholamine secretion depended on free extracellular Ca2+ concentrations and was almost parallel to 45Ca2+ influx into the cells under various experimental conditions. Furthermore, Na+ deprivation-induced 45Ca2+ influx and catecholamin...

Background: Caffeine is frequently consumed by athletes to maintain alertness in conditions of sleep loss. However, the effect caffeine ingestion during total deprivation aerobic exercise remains questionable. Objectives: The present study aimed assess effects repeated intake low-dose a night on endurance performance and psychological states. Methods: Twelve recreational runners performed four ...
