Indolent and aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) are common types of hematologic malignancies but their effect on quality of life (QoL) is understudied. In particular, the relation between different aspects of QoL and cognitive impairments and coping styles is relevant for individualized physical and mental health care. We studied emotional, physical, and subjective well-being in relation to...

INTRODUCTION Anxiety sensitivity (i.e., AS; the degree to which one believes that anxiety and its related sensations are harmful) is a stable trait that is associated with habitual smoking.

We find that without performance information subjective entitlements are mostly mutually consist...
