Welcome to Bullfighting,Dong-Style

Along the Duliujiang River basin in southwest China, the Dong, Miao and other national groups retain bullfighting as a traditional sporting event, one that may date as far back as the Three Kingdoms Period 1,800 years ago. It involves bulls fighting other bulls, quite different from the Spanish-style, which is a competition between humans and a bull. This year just before the Spring Festival I found myself at a bullfight ground in Judong Village, Sanjiang County in Guangxi Zhuang Autonamous Region. This bullfight held by the Dong People was the largest and the most impressive I have ever seen.

Social Support,Coping Strategies,and Psychosocial Adjustment to Cardiac Illness

In this paper, we apply a stress resistance perspective in considering psychosocial adjustment to chronic cardiac illness. We begin by reviewing major themes in the literature on psychosocial adjustment to cardiovascular illness, emphasizing a shift from a vulnerability to a stress resistance perspectivc. We then describe a program of research in a late-middle-aged sample of patients with cardiac illness, illustrating the adaptive advantages of social resources and effective coping strategies. Finally, we apply these findings in considering psychosocial intervention and assessment efforts in the context of cardiovascular rehabilitation. Overall, our findings demonstrate that social resources, in part through their role in fostering adaptive coping responses, can help to protect cardiac patients from depressive reactions.
