Harassment in ECEC institutions: 4- to 6-year-old children’s experiences

ABSTRACT There are limited studies involving preschool children and phenomena such as harassment, bullying, exclusion and rejection. This study explores the relations between 4- to 6-year-old children’s experiences of being frequently harassed in Norwegian Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) institutions, their overall feeling of subjective well-being and their social relationship experiences with staff and peers. The study also investigates whether there are significant differences between frequently harassed children’s experiences of well-being and social relations compared to other children’s experiences. The data reported in this study are collected through the Norwegian ECEC Well-being Monitor, an online, free of charge, electronic questionnaire developed for ECEC institutions. A total of 3598 children are included in the study. The main findings show that, for a majority of indicators, children who are frequently harassed have significantly different experiences of subjective well-being and social relations with peers and staff, mostly more negative, than other children.

The Value of Active Arts Engagement on Health and Well-Being of Older Adults: A Nation-Wide Participatory Study.

An emerging body of research indicates that active arts engagement can enhance older adults’ health and experienced well-being, but scientific evidence is still fragmented. There is a research gap in understanding arts engagement grounded in a multidimensional conceptualization of the value of health and well-being from older participants’ perspectives. This Dutch nation-wide study aimed to explore the broader value of arts engagement on older people’s perceived health and well-being in 18 participatory arts-based projects (dance, music, singing, theater, visual arts, video, and spoken word) for community-dwelling older adults and those living in long term care facilities. In this study, we followed a participatory design with narrative- and arts-based inquiry. We gathered micro-narratives from older people and their (in)formal caregivers (n = 470). The findings demonstrate that arts engagement, according to participants, resulted in (1) positive feelings, (2) personal and artistic growth, and (3) increased meaningful social interactions. This study concludes that art-based practices promote older people’s experienced well-being and increase the quality of life of older people. This study emphasizes the intrinsic value of arts engagement and has implications for research and evaluation of arts engagement.

A Leader-centric Approach to Leader Well-being: How Leaders’ Behaviors Affect Their Own Well-being

In the past year, the devastating COVID-19 crisis has rapidly aggravated the dire problem of leadership burnout and propelled it to the forefront of organizational concerns. On a regular basis but particularly during times of uncertainty and hardship, the myriad daily demands and responsibilities involving high stakes decisions can easily deplete and distress managers, as they are expected to tackle strategic decisions while also caring for the well-being of their followers and guiding work teams. Unfortunately, experiencing low (emotional) well-being—depleted energy and the lack of positive emotional experiences—has been linked to lower performance and effectiveness. Thus, it is crucial and timely to better understand how leaders can effectively regulate themselves to recover their own sense of well-being—whether this recovery takes place at or outside of work (i.e., at home)—especially during challenging times when leaders’ well-being is most likely to be precarious. Traditionally, researchers have focused largely on a “follower-centric” perspective and focused less on a “leader-centric” perspective. While the former emphasizes the interpersonal consequences of leader behaviors on their followers, a small but emerging literature takes the latter approach, seeking to understand the intrapersonal consequences of leaders’ behaviors—that is, how the behaviors that leaders engage in affect their own emotions, attitudes, and/or leadership behaviors (e.g., Foulk, Lanaj, Tu, Erez, & Archambeau, 2018; Lanaj, Johnson, & Lee, 2016; Lin, Scott, & Matta, 2019). Given the tenor of our time and in line with the 2021 AoM theme, “Bringing the Manager Back in Management,” our symposium takes a leader-centric perspective and explores how leaders’ behaviors at and outside of work are associated with their experience of well-being. Going further, we also investigate (a) boundary conditions (i.e., moderators) and (b) how, in turn, leaders’ experience of well-being affects their leadership attitudes (e.g., leader identity) and/or behaviors (e.g., procedural justice, transformational leadership behavior, effort-based performance). To provide a comprehensive examination of the phenomenon of leader well-being, our symposium addresses three complementary questions guided by our leader-centric approach: (1) How does a leader experiencing low well-being (i.e., depletion) affect the leader’s (subsequent) leadership behaviors? (Young, Lee, & Johnson) (2) How do leader behaviors at work, especially during times of hardship, affect the leader’s experience of well-being? (Bae & Mayer; Lee & Kim) (3) How do leader behaviors outside of work (i.e., at home after work) affect the leader’s (next day) experience of well-being at work? (Lanaj & Jennings). By answering these questions, our symposium sheds light on the intrapersonal consequences of leader behavior. In doing so, we uncover what kinds of leader behaviors, both at work and at home, help to sustain leaders’ (emotional) well-being.

The Best Intentions: The Curious Effects of Online Wellness Training during COVID-19

Although the shift to online learning has been gaining momentum, the current global pandemic has forced institutions to pivot to virtual learning environments. This pilot study evaluates the efficacy of three permutations of a multi-week wellness intervention on mental health, mindfulness, and loneliness in order to examine the effects of different online learning conditions during COVID-19. Undergraduate students were randomly assigned to one of three conditions manipulating the format through which the training was conducted: 1) asynchronous self-guided sessions, 2) synchronous online sessions with a live facilitator, and 3) a hybrid between asynchronous self-guided sessions and brief synchronous online sessions with a live facilitator. Results suggest that all conditions, despite their synchrony, show changes over time; however, counter to our expectations, participants show decreases in mindfulness, increases in loneliness, and non-significant changes to their mental health. To better understand this surprising finding, we analysed short answer responses to find that as stress increases, wellness training can be perceived as “just another task” that overwhelms rather than reduces experiences of wellbeing. This research underscores the importance of considering contextual factors, like a global pandemic or preferences to value achievement over wellbeing, when making decisions around when and how to implement wellness programs.

Well but Unwanted: The Subtle Backlash Against Prioritizing Mental Wellbeing at Work

Organizations are investing more into mental wellbeing initiatives than ever before, seeking to become more inclusive workplaces and combat rising employee stress. Yet 75% of employees still struggle with mental health and many hesitate to use these initiatives over fear of backlash. Our research suggests this fear is warranted, and that the nature of this backlash is particularly nuanced. Across 4 studies (N=2,107), we show that although displays of overt discrimination may be less common, employees who prioritize their mental wellbeing experience subtle forms of backlash, including social aversion (Study 2) and feedback withholding (Studies 1, 3). Although mental wellbeing prioritization violates the “ideal worker norm,” we demonstrate that political correctness norms (specifically concerns about appearing discriminatory) both lead evaluators to suppress overt backlash and simultaneously engage in subtle backlash (Study 4). Together, these results suggest that while prioritizing mental wellbeing may leave employees well, it may also lead them to be unwanted. We discuss the implications of this paradox for scholarship on social norms and wellbeing interventions in modern organizations.

Interpersonal Conflicts in the Unit Impact the Service Quality Rated by Customers: The Mediating Role of Work-Unit Well-Being.

Social dynamics at work are crucial for understanding how internal processes in an organization are related to their performance and productivity. Following the Service-Profit Chain (SPC) theory, this study analyses, at the work-unit level, how interpersonal conflicts are related to service quality in the hospitality and tourism industry through the shared experience of well-being in the work unit. In other words, we examine the mediating role of two main aspects of work-related well-being in the unit (job satisfaction and burnout) on the relationship between interpersonal conflicts in the unit and customers’ perceptions of service quality. To do so, we conducted a cross-sectional survey study that collected data from 398 service employees (91 work units) and 1233 customers from three and four-star hotels with restaurant in Spain. Using path analysis in Structural Equation Models, our results supported a full mediation model at the work-unit level: interpersonal conflicts in the work unit are related to customers’ service quality perceptions through the work-unit’s well-being (job satisfaction and burnout). Therefore, our findings extend the SPC theory by integrating group dynamics and employees’ experiences, which should be enhanced through occupational health-oriented policies and practices to increase service quality. In this sense, this study has implications for the development of intervention programs aiming at improving the occupational well-being and quality of service in hospitality and tourism settings.

HOME-RELATED SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING BASED ON WELL-BEING STUDIES AND ITS DETERMINANTS

Studies about well-being (WB) have been used to build an interdisciplinary research area centered on positive psychology and economics of happiness. WB research is characterized by active use of subjective data about one’s life, called subjective wellbeing (SWB), as indicators of the quality of an individual’s life or their society. SWB has various domains, including ones related to cognitive and emotional well-being, and each has different determinants. For example, life satisfaction, which is the cognitive aspect of SWB, is strongly correlated with income, while emotional well-being has a relatively strong correlation with health and social relationships. There are various theories about SWB’s composition, and the OECD has defined three basic domains of SWB: life evaluation (life satisfaction), emotion (affect, mood), and eudaimonia. Conventional research for assessing residential environments has used “housing satisfaction” as a subjective indicator of housing quality, which belongs to the “cognitive evaluation” domain. However, based on the findings of WB research, it can be inferred that there are diverse subjective domains related to housing quality. Therefore, in the current study, we attempted to construct home-related subjective well-being (HOME-SWB) based on the OECD’s SWB definition: “home satisfaction,” “positive emotions at home,” “negative emotions at home,” and “eudaimonia derived from home.” “Home satisfaction” is the cognitive aspect of HOME-SWB, which is similar to the conventional subjective indicator, housing satisfaction. “Positive emotions at home” includes the frequency of positive emotional experiences at home, such as feeling happy, cheerful, or joyful, while “negative emotions at home” includes the frequency of negative emotional experiences, such as feeling depressed, stressed out, or lonely at home. “Eudaimonia derived from home” indicate to what extent residents obtain experiences of eudaimonic well-being from their homes, such as self-esteem and the sense that life is worth living. The purpose of this study is to investigate the current status of HOME-SWB among 4,000 residents in the Tokyo area and the determinants of each domain of HOME-SWB using ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analysis.

To be happy and behave in a healthier way. A longitudinal study about gender differences in the older population

Introduction Subjective well-being plays a key role in health. The objectives of this study are to analyse the longitudinal associations between subjective well-being dimensions and healthy behaviours, and to examine gender differences. Method A representative sample of 1,190 Spanish non-institutionalised adults aged 50+ were interviewed over a 6-year follow-up period. The Cantril scale was used to measure evaluative well-being. The Day Reconstruction Method measured experienced well-being. The Global Physical Activity Questionnaire was used, whereas fruit and vegetables, tobacco and alcohol consumption, and sleep quality were self-reported. The Generalised Estimating Equation was calculated. Results Women show significantly worse subjective well-being than men longitudinally. Higher scores in life satisfaction and positive affect were significantly related to a higher level of physical activity and better-quality sleep for both women and men. Associations between a higher life satisfaction and an adequate intake of fruits and vegetables and being a non-smoker was only found in women (OR = 1.05; 95% IC = 1.00, 1.10 and OR = 1.16; 95% IC = 1.09, 1.23, respectively). Conclusion Subjective well-being levels and frequencies in healthy behaviours are different in women and men. Subjective well-being interventions should take into account these differences in the frequency of healthy-unhealthy behaviours.

The Fabric of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Wellbeing: A Conceptual Model.

Wellbeing is culturally bound and is shaped by many aspects of life, including experiences, beliefs and values. As such, in order to accurately measure wellbeing for a specific cultural group, it is necessary to understand the experiences, beliefs and values that influence the conception and experience of wellbeing of that group. This paper presents a conceptual model of wellbeing for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, which was developed from a large national qualitative study that explored the views of 359 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults. An Aboriginal- and Torres Strait Islander-led research team used an Indigenist research approach to iteratively develop this conceptual model, called the Fabric of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Wellbeing model, which takes inspiration from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander weaving traditions whereby individual strands are twined to create fabrics that are both beautiful and strong. This reflects our findings that the parts of life that are most important to wellbeing for many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are interwoven with their families, communities and culture.

Comparison on Well-Being, Engagement and Perceived School Climate in Secondary School Students with Learning Difficulties and Specific Learning Disorders: An Exploratory Study.

Reading and writing skills influence the social status of students, exerting effects not only on learning, but also on wellbeing. This study aimed to assess the impact of diagnosis of specific learning disorder on well-being in secondary-school students, comparing students with a diagnosis of specific learning disorder (SLD-group), students showing learning difficulties without diagnosis (LD-group) and students without learning difficulties (control-group). Students were tested with neuropsychological screening tests in order to identify learning difficulties and were further assessed by means of psychological and school well-being questionnaires. The results show that LD group perceive themselves as having a low sense of mastery and autonomy, less interest and engagement in daily activities and low peer social support than their schoolmates. This result highlights, for the LD group, a low well-being experience, which is not observed in the SLD and control groups. On the contrary, SLD group students do not differ from control group students in any dimensions except for the perceived parents’ support and involvement in school life, in which the SLD group show the highest scores. This work underlines the importance of having a diagnosis as it seems to work as a protective factor for both the psychological and school well-being of the student.

Lifestyle skiing contributes to health and eudaimonic well-being: an emergent Chinese lifestyle mobility‌

In an increasingly mobile society, a ‘new mobilities paradigm’ examining the connection between mobility and lifestyle is gaining prominence. However, it is realized that the current work on the conceptualization of lifestyle mobilities has yet to account adequately for the diversity in this emerging area. Echoing to the ‘fluidity and malleability’ of contemporary social phenomena, and in response to the academic interest on alternative mobilities with different velocity and rhythm, an emergent sport mobilities of lifestyle skiing is focused, and its relations with personal health and well-being are examined. Guided by Gatrell’s therapeutic mobilities framework, exploration highlights how the construct incorporating the three components of activity, sociality and context is interconnected and further mobilised to shape well-being, under a eudaimonic perspective. Employing a constructivist qualitative research approach, in-depth interviews with skiers were carried out in Chongli district of Zhangjiakou city, one of the hosting places for 2022 Winter Olympics. The results show that, the determinants of autonomy, personal growth, positive relationship, environmental mastery, self-acceptance and purpose in life in the ‘Psychological Well-Being Scale’ are significant to influence well-being experience, while nature connection is proposed as a complementary critical determinant. Ultimately, mobilities is becoming a key element in the new-found empowerment to search for self in the recreational realm, and to escape from ‘routine everyday life’ in contemporary China. Theoretically, an exploratory conceptual framework of psychological well-being in lifestyle-sport mobilities is proposed. Practically, the findings are illuminated to suggest better practices that can foster the skiing industry and improve the individual skiing experience.

Highly-Skilled Migrants, Gender, and Well-Being in the Eindhoven Region. An Intersectional Analysis

The shortage of skilled labor and the global competition for highly qualified employees has challenged Dutch companies to develop strategies to attract Highly Skilled Migrants (HSMs). This paper presents a study exploring how well-being is experienced by HSMs living in the Eindhoven region, a critical Dutch Tech Hub. Our population includes highly skilled women and men who moved to Eindhoven for work or to follow their partner trajectory. By analyzing data according to these four groups, we detect significant differences among HSMs. Given the exploratory nature of this work, we use a qualitative method based on semi-structured interviews. Our findings show that gender plays a crucial role in experienced well-being for almost every dimension analyzed. Using an intersectional approach, we challenge previous models of well-being, and we detect different factors that influence the respondents’ well-being when intersecting with gender. Those factors are migratory status, the reason to migrate, parenthood, and origin (EU/non-EU). When all the factors intersect, participants’ well-being decreases in several areas: career, financial satisfaction, subjective well-being, and social relationships. Significant gender differences are also found in migration strategies. Finally, we contribute to debates about skilled migration and well-being by including an intersectional perspective.

Ethical dilemmas faced by frontline support nurses fighting COVID-19

In 2019, an outbreak of COVID-19 broke out in Hubei, China. Medical workers from all over the country rushed to Hubei and participated in the treatment and care of COVID-19 patients. These nurses, dedicated to their professional practice, volunteered to provide compassion and expert clinical care during the pandemic. As with other acts of heroism, the ethical dilemmas associated with working on the front line must be considered for future practice. To explore the ethical dilemmas of frontline nurses of Jiangsu Province in China during deployment to Wuhan to fight the novel coronavirus pneumonia, and to provide a basis for developing strategies to help nursing staff address personal and practice concerns in order to work more effectively during this pandemic and other disasters in the future. Using the phenomenological research method and the purpose sampling method, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 nurses, post-deployment to Wuhan, who had worked on the front line to fight the novel coronavirus. The research proposal was approved by the Research Ethic Committee of Yangzhou University, China. From the analysis of the interviews of the 10 participants, three main themes were identified: ethical dilemmas in clinical nursing, ethical dilemmas in interpersonal relationships, and ethical dilemmas in nursing management. During a quick response to public health emergencies, where nurses are deployed immediately as a call to action, the issues surrounding ethical dilemmas from several perspectives must be considered. This research suggests that a team approach to proactive planning and open communication during the emergency is an efficient and productive strategy to improve the nurses' experience and sense of well-being.

Bringing Sports Coaches’ Experiences of Primary Appraisals and Psychological Well-being to Life using Composite Vignettes

ABSTRACT Research attention has been directed towards coaches’ stressor experiences, yet less is known about the role of stress appraisals and psychological well-being (PWB). Considering the links between PWB, mental health, and retention in the coaching profession, this study will explore primary appraisals and PWB among sports coaches. Guided by our constructivist paradigm that underpinned our relativist ontology and subjectivist epistemology, we conducted theoretically informed semi-structured interviews with six coaches (five men and one woman) who represented both team and individual sports. We analysed data thematically using an abductive approach and constructed 10 composite vignettes that describe a powerful and shared account of the coaches’ lived experiences. The vignettes offer insight to the coaches’ primary appraisals and the impact of stress transactions on PWB. For example, benefit appraisals had a positive impact on environmental mastery and self-acceptance, threat appraisals had a negative impact on autonomy and environmental mastery, and harm/loss appraisals are shown to influence health. Based on these findings, we propose several impactful recommendations for researchers, practitioners, and National Governing Bodies (NGBs). For example, we recommend that practitioners working with coaches should foster positive working relationships with athletes to support coaches’ PWB. Further, we encourage NGBs to work closely with coaches and practitioners to promote safe and favourable working environments, increasing coaches’ autonomy, and maximise flexible working conditions.

Health Empowerment in Older Adult Informal Caregivers✰

BackgroundThe need to support informal caregivers is among the most overlooked challenges facing the aging population, their families, and society. Understanding the experience of well-being and resources contributing to well-being among older caregivers is essential. ObjectiveThe purpose of this research was to explore personal strengths, social contextual resources, and the power to choose and pursue valued objectives central to well-being among older caregivers. This research was theoretically informed by the Health Empowerment Theory. MethodsQualitative descriptive design addressed research objectives. Purposive sampling included recruitment and interviews with twenty-one older adult caregivers. Qualitative content analysis identified distinct categories and themes of meaning and supported trustworthiness. ResultsCategories supported and extended Health Empowerment Theory among older caregivers, reflecting unique strengths, resources, and growth consistent with valued objectives, fostering well-being. DiscussionFindings further understanding of the ways in which caregivers move toward well-being within the context of complexity and change.

Influence of Life Meaning on Subjective Well-Being of Older People: Serial Multiple Mediation of Exercise Identification and Amount of Exercise.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the relationship between life meaning and subjective well-being among older people and the mediating role of subjective exercise identification and objective amount of exercise.Methods: A total of 352 older respondents completed four questionnaires: the Chinese life meaning scale, the University of Newfoundland Happiness Scale, the physical activity habits questionnaire, and the exercise identification questionnaire designed for this study.Results: Gender differences existed in the respondents' perception of life meaning, and men had a better perception of life meaning (t = 2.28, SE = 0.63, p < 0.05). There were age differences in the subjective well-being of older people (F = 5.69, partial η2 = 0.03, p < 0.01); the subjective well-being of older individuals steadily declines with rising age. Life meaning not only directly affected the subjective well-being of the respondents but also indirectly influenced their subjective well-being through the following three pathways: life meaning → exercise identification → subjective well-being (mediating effect of 22%); life meaning → amount of exercise → subjective well-being (mediating effect of 22%); and life meaning → exercise identification → amount of exercise → subjective well-being (serial multiple mediation effect of 27%).Conclusion: The more positive the life meaning perception of older people is, the higher their experience of subjective well-being. For older people to sense the meaning of life, we recommend that they realize the importance of physical activities and take the initiative to engage in physical activities to obtain higher subjective well-being.

Experiences of place attachment and mental wellbeing in the context of urban regeneration

Urban regeneration is an important policy focus across the European Union, with initiatives seeking to address inequalities in public health. Although theoretically such initiatives should produce benefits for mental wellbeing, this lacks strong supporting evidence. The current research addressed a prior overreliance on quantitative methods and underappreciation of the psychological significance of place, through the adoption of qualitative interviews with residents, as part of an independent review of a £650m regeneration project. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was utilised to explore the processes involved in residents' mental wellbeing and place attachment. Analysis developed three super-ordinate themes: 'feelings of control', 'social and community relations', and 'understandings and definitions of place'. These highlight issues relating to physical health, social isolation, community cohesion, as well as the potential for regeneration activities to undermine various elements of the people-place relationship.

Are work well-being variables distinct? A bifactor model of fulfilling work.

The strengths-based inclusive theory of work and psychology of working theory propose that fulfilling work is a key outcome of the vocational intervention. Scholars have further argued that fulfilling work is the holistic experience of well-being in the workplace and can be assessed with meaningful work, work engagement, workplace positive emotions, and job satisfaction. This theoretical perspective suggests a bifactor model would best explain the relations among these variables, but this claim remains untested. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether a bifactor model best explained the relations among the four components of fulfilling work, in comparison to other plausible models. We also examined the concurrent and convergent validity of the fulfilling work construct, using other well-being variables, symptoms of distress, and contextual factor variables drawn from vocational theories. Supporting hypotheses, we found that a bifactor model best fit the data. We also found that fulfilling work positively related to eudaimonic work well-being, hedonic work well-being, and life satisfaction and negatively related to symptoms of distress. Finally, fulfilling work positively related to income and subjective social class. These findings offer conceptual and statistical implications of fulfilling work for research, counseling, organizations, and social advocacy.

Evaluation of the Сolor Pulse Reflexology and Autogenous Training Effectiveness in Complex Rehabilitation Programs for Patients with Myocardial Infarction after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Сlinical Sanatorium Conditions

Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of the color pulse reflexology (CPR) methods and autogenous training (AT) in rehabilitation programs for patients after myocardial infarction (MI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Material and methods. The study included 157 male patients with coronary artery disease aged 53.7 + 4.3 years who had undergone myocardial infarction and CABG surgery for 1 to 2 months. The patients were prescribed a standard program of sanatorium-resort treatment using natural factors and necessary medicines. The first – the control group of patients (CG, 63 people) was added to the AT treatment program, and the second – the main group (MG, 52 people) – the CPR method – 10 sessions of each method. The apparatus «Amulet 201» was used to correct the psycho-emotional state of patients with signals of the green and yellow ranges of the optical spectrum through a visual analyzer. Results. In the first group of patients, people with anxiety-depressive and asthenic syndromes experienced “restructuring” of the personal values scale: significantly reduced irritability, mental and physical fatigue, which contributed to the elimination of astenization, the restoration of nervous and physical potential, the behavioral functions and sleep normalization after a course of the treatment. In the second group of patients with cardiophobic and anxiety-sensing syndromes, there was improvement in well-being, sleep, decreased fatigue and phobic experiences, internal tension and anxiety, intensity and frequency of pain in the heart after the treatment. The majority of patients who took CPR and were re-admitted to sanatorium-resort treatment within 12 months after MI showed a significant improvement in their general condition and quality of life. Conclusion. When identifying asthenic, anxiety-depressive and agrypnia syndromes with an average daily non-dipper curve in cardiac surgery patients, the use of AT and CPR against the background of complex sanatorium-resort treatment in most cases gave a good and stable therapeutic effect, helped to correct the psychological and hemodynamic profiles, restore efficiency and improve the quality of life.

From Conflict to Socio-Emotional Well-Being. Application of the GIAM Model through Traditional Sporting Games

The education of pleasant interpersonal relationships is one of the great challenges of modern physical education. Learning to live together sustainably is also learning to transform conflicts and the negative emotions elicited by them. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the GIAM pedagogical model (of the Motor Action Research Group) through cooperation-opposition traditional sporting games with competition in the presence of motor conflicts (conflict transformation; relational well-being) and on emotional regulation (management of negative emotions; emotional well-being). Empirical research was carried out using an associative strategy (explanatory study) involving 222 secondary school students (Mage = 14.86; SD = 0.65). A seven-session pedagogical intervention was carried out based on a championship using the Marro (Prisoner’s Bar) game. The students answered two validated questionnaires of socio-emotional well-being, the Games and Emotions Scale (GES-II) and the Motor Conflict Questionnaire (MCQ), at three phases during the experience (beginning, middle, and end). The findings showed that, through the GIAM model, motor conflicts and the intensity of negative emotions were reduced. It was found that conflicts and negative emotions are part of the same phenomenon and that through an appropriate pedagogical program it is possible to turn them into experiences of socio-emotional well-being.
