A mediated moderation model of negative life events, self-esteem, rumination and parental divorce on depression among Chinese juvenile delinquents

Little attention was paid to the prevalence of depression in Chinese juvenile delinquents who are studied in correctional work-study schools. Hence, the present study aimed to test the unique, mediating and moderating effects of negative life events, self-esteem, rumination and parental divorce on depression among Chinese juvenile delinquents. A total of 236 juvenile delinquents aged between 12 and 17 years old (M = 14.68 SD = 1.30) were recruited to accomplish a battery of self-report questionnaires concerning their negative life events, self-esteem, rumination, depression and demographic profile. The descriptive analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between negative life events and depression in Chinese juvenile delinquents. Moreover, the results from the structural model indicated that self-esteem and rumination played separate and sequential mediating roles between negative life events and depression. In addition, parental divorce had a moderating effect between negative life events and self-esteem in the model. These results suggest that the prevalence of depression among Chinese juvenile delinquents can be reduced through modification of the ruminative way of thinking, improving their self-esteem when they encounter a number of negative life events. Furthermore, more attention should be paid to the juvenile delinquents who experienced parental divorce.

Investigation of psychological factors related to compassion fatigue, burnout, and compassion satisfaction among nurses

BackgroundWhile compassion fatigue is evaluated positively in nurses, compassion fatigue and burnout are undesirable from the viewpoint of professionals, service providers, institutions and ultimately society. It is necessary to identify the factors that lead to undesirable results and to reduce their effects. This study aimed to investigate nurses’ levels of compassion fatigue, compassion satisfaction, burnout, various psychopathological symptom levels, coping skills, and the relationship between them.MethodsThis was a descriptive cross-sectional study. The participants were 356 nurses working in tertiary university hospitals in Istanbul (Türkiye). The Healthcare Professional Information Form, ProQOL-IV, Brief Symptom Inventory, and the Coping Orientations to Problems Experienced scale were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics, correlation analyses, and regression models were used to analyze the data.ResultsAccording to the findings, low-level burnout, moderate-high compassion satisfaction, and low-moderate compassion fatigue symptoms were detected. Low-level anxiety, depression, somatization, hostility, and negative self-esteem were found. According to the results of regression analysis, mental disengagement and planning coping strategies positively affect the synergy of compassion fatigue (p < 0.05). Turning religion and restraint coping have a positive effect on compassion fatigue (p < 0.05). While depression has a positive effect on burnout, nurses’ positive reinterpretation and growth strategy is effective in coping with burnout (p < 0.05). Positive reinterpretation and growth coping strategies are also effective in increasing job satisfaction (p < 0.05).ConclusionsNurses showing somatization symptoms are risk factors for compassion fatigue, and nurses showing depression symptoms are risk factors for burnout, so they should be closely monitored and should be given support. Mental disengagement and planning coping strategies can reduce compassion fatigue, and positive reinterpretation and growth methods can reduce burnout and increase compassion satisfaction. It may be useful to provide counseling and training for nurses to use the right coping methods.

Effects of Acute Exercise on Affect, Anxiety, and Self-Esteem in Poly-Substance Dependent Inpatients

Introduction: Negative affect and anxiety frequently precede the onset of drug use in those with substance use disorder (SUD). Low self-esteem may increase the risk of relapse. We examined the short-term effects of exercise on affect, anxiety, and self-esteem in inpatients with poly-SUD. Methods: This is a multicenter randomized control trial (RCT) with a crossover design. Thirty-eight inpatients (37.3 ± 6.4 years; 84% male) from three clinics participated in 45 min of soccer, circuit training, and control condition (psychoeducation) in a random order. Positive and negative affect (PANAS), state anxiety (single item), and self-esteem (Rosenberg SE-scale) were measured immediately before, immediately after, 1-h, 2-h, and 4-h post-exercise. Heart rate and ratings of perceived exertion were taken. Effects were assessed using linear mixed effects models. Results: Compared to the control condition, there were significant post-exercise improvements in positive affect (β = 2.99, CI = 0.39: 5.58), self-esteem (β = 1.84, CI = 0.49: 3.20), and anxiety (β = −0.69, CI = −1.34: −0.04) after circuit training (shown) and soccer. Effects persisted 4-h post-exercise. Reductions in negative affect were observed 2-h (circuit training: β = −3.39, CI = −6.35: −1.51) and 4-h (soccer: β = −3.71, CI = −6.03: −1.39) post-exercise, respectively. Conclusion: Moderately strenuous exercise undertaken in naturalistic settings may improve mental health symptoms in poly-SUD inpatients for up to 4-h post-exercise.

Bellek Özelliklerinde Duygu İçeriğinin Etkisi: Duygusal Değer, Duygusal Yoğunluk ve Tekil Duygular

The aim of the present study is to examine the relationships between the emotional valence and emotional intensity of autobiographical memories and the phenomenological characteristics of memories in the context of individual emotions and memory types. Seven hundred and sixty-four students (514 female, 250 male) from Dokuz Eylul University participated in the study. Participants were asked to recall an childhood memory, a self-defining memory, or a romantic relationship memory. After thinking about the memory they remember, they were requested to fill out the Autobiographical Memory Characteristics Questionnaire and a scale for intensity of individual emotions. Regression analyses showed that emotional intensity of the memories predicted the sensory details, rehearsal, and preoccupation with emotions. In moderated-mediation analyses, mediating effects for emotional intensity were detected between individual emotions and memory characteristics, except for the negative self-esteem emotions. Among these analyses, a moderating effect of memory types was detected only for the relationships between hostile emotions and anxiety-related emotions and the memory characteristics through the mediation of emotional intensity. While the intensity of singular emotions showed stronger relationship with emotional valence, the main variable that predicted memory characteristics overall was the emotional intensity.

Os participantes sem depressão não apresentaram diferenças quanto a autoestima real e a ideal.&#x0D;

Logotherapy is effective in increasing self-esteem, but caution is needed: A meta-analytic study

Individuals with positive self-esteem recognize their personal qualities. They feel comfortable, optimistic, and confident about themselves. Conversely, individuals with negative self-esteem tend to experience poor quality of life. This study examines the effectiveness of logotherapy in increasing self-esteem. We conducted a meta-analysis by collecting and reviewing 14 research articles on logotherapy and self-esteem. We analyzed the data from the selected articles based on the number of participants (N), the average value (M), and the standard deviation (SD). The meta-analysis showed that logotherapy is a recommended and effective intervention to increase self-esteem. Keywords: logotherapy, meta-analysis, self-esteem

Personality traits in adolescents with the Internet Gaming Disorder. Part II

Abstract Introduction: The aim of this study was to characterize types of gamers in terms of selected personality traits. Material and methods: The study involved 576 individuals aged 16 to 19 years. The participants were surveyed using Gough and Heilbrun’s ACL, the Coping with Stress Questionnaire, and the Psychological Inventory of the Aggression Syndrome. Results: The four types of online gamers identified in the first part of the study reported in this paper differed significantly in the following personality characteristics: self-image, coping styles and aggression types. Conclusions: 1. Individuals severely addicted to Internet gaming, significantly more often than those addicted moderately, mildly or not addicted at all, used escapist and emotional coping strategies and responded with auto-aggression, and physical and displaced aggression. Compared to the respondents not addicted to online gaming, they had a more negative self-esteem and were characterized by greater impulsivity, hostility, and were less responsible and autonomous. 2. Adolescents moderately addicted to gaming, compared to their non-addicted peers, were characterized by greater hostility, impulsivity, proneness to conflict, tendency to humiliate others, and verbal, physical and indirect aggression. 3. Young people with mild online gaming addiction, significantly more often than non-addicted adolescents, used psychoactive drugs, showed self-aggressive behavior and responded with displaced aggression in situations of stress.

Bridging the gap between body image and paranoia-like thoughts

A feeling of vulnerability is believed to be one of the foundations upon which paranoia is built. Factors that may increase vulnerability include negative affective states, low self-esteem and high social rejection sensitivity. Body image, which is one aspect of the overall self-esteem, has recently been shown to be associated with paranoia. However, little is known about factors underlying this association. In this online study conducted on a non-clinical sample (n = 539, 65.5% of female), self-report data assessing paranoia-like thoughts, body image, self-esteem, negative emotions, rejection sensitivity as well as various attitudes and beliefs related to body appearance were collected. The results revealed a significant serial mediation effect of negative emotions, self-esteem and rejection sensitivity in the relationship between body image and paranoia-like thoughts. Parallel mediation analysis showed an effect of social criticism as the only one of four studied groups of beliefs related to body appearance in the relationship between paranoia-like thoughts and body image. Moreover, paranoia-like thoughts were increased in people who were not satisfied with their body, both as a result of feeling too thin and overweight. To conclude, body image is an important factor related to paranoia-like thoughts, through its association with increased vulnerability and negative general self-view. The findings highlight the importance of negative emotions, low self-esteem and high rejection sensitivity, as well as the role of critical comments and lack of perceived acceptance as potential (socially-focused) mechanisms paving the way from negative body image to paranoia-like thoughts.

Self-esteem and Suicidal Ideation in Undergraduate Students

The main purpose of the study was to assess the relationship between self-esteem and suicidal ideation in undergraduate students (N= 600). A Structural Equation Modeling approach was used to analyse the data. All fit indices were examined on measurement level. Relationships between three latent variables: positive self-esteem, negative self-esteem, and suicidal ideation were assessed on structural level. Results revealed that students with negative self-esteem were more prone towards suicidal ideation. Moreover, those students who were having positive self-esteem were less likely indicating suicide ideation which suggested that positive self-esteem is a protective factor against suicidal ideation among students.

Effects of cognitive therapy-based thinking-changing training on negative automatic thoughts, self-esteem, and aggression in elementary school students

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of cognitive therapy-based thinking-changing training on negative automatic thinking, self-esteem, and aggression in upper elementary school students. To this end, two classes in the 5th grade of elementary school in Incheon were selected and 23 students from the one class (experimental group) were given structured cognitive therapy-based thinking-changing training, and 22 students from the other (control group) were given no intervention. The thinking-changing training program was a classroom-based group intervention and consisted of twelve 40-minute weekly sessions. The experimental treatment was delivered mainly through off-line but given the school situation under Covid-19 pandemic, several sessions were delivered through on-line. Participants were asked to complete questionnaires measuring negative automatic thoughts, self-esteem, and aggression before, during, and one week after the program. Significant pre-post decrease in negative automatic thoughts and aggression, and significant pre-post increase in self-esteem was found only in experimental group, not in control group. This study demonstrates potential utility of cognitive therapy in elementary school setting, particularly in addressing upper graders’ negative automatic thoughts, aggression and self-esteem.

Personality and affections in university students: implications of circadian typology.

The chronotype refers to the individual differences related to the preference to perform activities or to rest during the wake or in the preferences for a certain period of the day. In this study, we evaluated how the chronotype can be considered a variable of interest for individual personality differences. Still, it was verified how the positive and negative effects and self-esteem interact with the quality of sleep and the circadian personality according to the Big Five personality factors. This study included 150 volunteers of both sexes (41 men and 109 women) aged between 16 and 44 years old (M=22.08; SD=3.8 in age). The analysis of variance showed significant differences for Horne and Ostberg [F(2.148) = 401.69; η2=0.85] usual sleep efficiency [F(2.148) = 4.83; η2=0.6] and the sleep quality index [F(2.148) = 3.25; η2=13.0]. Morning subjects had better behavioral indexes of sleep quality when compared to evening subjects. Regarding positive affects [F(2.147) = 3.54; η2=0.53], morning subjects had a higher score than afternoon subjects (p=0.34) and consequently had higher scores in kindness traits [F(2,148) = 6.81; η2=0.95] and emotional stability [F(2.188) = 6.58; η2=0.91]. The chronotype is associated with personality factors and sleep behavior (efficiency and sleep latency as basic requirements for good quality of sleep) and variables such as sleep efficiency and quality of sleep can be moderators of this behavior.

A positive psychology group intervention in Greek university students by the counseling center: Effectiveness of implementation.

Most institutions in higher education have emphasized success in knowledge while overlooking Students’ wellbeing. The present study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the implementation of a 5-week positive psychology group intervention to a sample of 69 students that were assigned to the intervention (N = 34) and the control group (N = 35). Pre and post measures were taken assessing positive and negative emotions, resilience, happiness, optimism, and self-esteem. In particular, Modified Differential Emotions Scale (mDES), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS), Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R), and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) were administered to the participants. A mixed measures design was employed with the condition experimental vs. control group as the between-participants factor and time, namely, baseline vs. post-intervention as the within-participants factor. Except for optimism, compared with students in the control group, students in the experimental group showed no significant differences at baseline and experienced a significant increase in positive emotions and resilience in the post-test. On the contrary, the control group demonstrated no significant difference at post-test. Additionally, the students of the intervention group reported significantly higher levels in all measures in comparison with the students of the control group, except resilience, at post-test. However, when the interaction of design and time was considered, the increase in positive emotions solely emerged as a significant result of the intervention. The implementation of a positive psychology group intervention program can be effective in helping students experiencing positive emotions. More research is needed in order to refine and improve the application of such a program in a university setting, in regard to long term intervention.

Ο στιγματισμός των συμμετεχόντων στην εκπαιδευτική διαδικασία: η περίπτωση των εκπαιδευτικών προσχολικής ηλικίας

The educational systems have been permitted by the modern social shapings to distinguish the individuals at the period of school age in educated and not, to evaluate them via the titles that they grant and tο place them in the professional-social hierarchy.&#x0D; Examining the subject of teachers’ choice of profession from the side of experience, payment and environment, the relation between the more inferior social layers and the instructive profession is once again revealed. In other words, the professional choices are limited for concrete students and immediately connected with their social origin. Their choice to follow a concrete profession is completely connected with the parameters that structure their life. The teacher accepts hurtful opinions from society, is forced to face cognitive divergences of views, feels the need to upgrade her/his scientific training and, often, s/he adopts a negative and low self-esteem. A basic characteristic stigmatizing teachers is the uncertainty for their social place (status).

Self-Esteem dan Job Insecurity pada Karyawan Outsourcing

This research focused on examining the relationship between self-esteem and job insecurity in outsourcing employees. The hypothesis of this research was the existence of a negative and significant relationship between self-esteem and job insecurity. There were 211 participants in this study, who were outsourcing employees. Data was collected by using Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES, α = 0.745) and Job Insecurity Scale (JIS, α = 0.723). Technique that was used to analyse the data was Spearman's rho correlation technique because the data was not normal. The results showed that there were a negative and significant relationship between self-esteem and job insecurity (r = -0,246; p = 0,000), positive self-esteem and job insecurity (r = -0,237; p = 0,000), negative self-esteem and job insecurity (r = -0,169; p = 0,007). The higher the self-esteem, the lower the job insecurity of outsourcing employees. Keywords: Self-Esteem, Job Insecurity, Outsourcing Employees

Perceived Parental Undifferentiated Rejection and Children’s Personality Dispositions: A Meta-Analysis of Multicultural Studies

Prior multicultural meta-analyses have shown that three of the four individual expressions of parental rejection (viz., coldness/lack of affection, hostility/aggression, and indifference/neglect) tend to be significantly associated with all seven of the personality dispositions most central to interpersonal acceptance-rejection theory (IPARTheory). These dispositions include hostility/aggression, dependence, negative self-esteem, negative self-adequacy, emotional instability, emotional unresponsiveness, and negative worldview. However, it was unknown whether the fourth expression of rejection (i.e. undifferentiated rejection) tends to be associated transculturally, as predicted by the theory, with this cluster of dispositions among children. Thus, this meta-analysis investigated 1) the extent to which children’s perceptions of maternal and paternal undifferentiated rejection were related to these personality dispositions, and 2) the extent to which these relations varied by gender of parent. To address these questions, we performed a meta-analysis on 16 studies involving 12,538 children in 14 countries. Results showed significant associations between all seven personality dispositions and both maternal and paternal undifferentiated rejection. The results also showed significantly stronger relations between maternal than paternal undifferentiated rejection on five of the seven indices of children’s personality.

Yapılan faktör analizi neticesinde ülke menşe, marka imajı ve marka sadakati tek boyutta incelenirken, öz saygı faktörü pozitif öz saygı ve negatif öz saygı olarak iki boyutta isimlendirilmiştir. Yapılan regresyon analizi neticesinde ülke menşe faktörünün marka sadakatini etkilemediği, öz saygı faktörünün marka imajı ve marka sadakatini etkilediği, marka imajının da marka sadakati üzerinde etkisi olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Pozitif öz saygı faktörünün de marka sadakatine etkisinde marka imajının aracılık rolü olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Genel olarak akademisyenlerde ve öğrencilerde ülke menşenin marka sadakati üzerinde etkisi olmadığı fakat öz saygının marka imajı ve marka sadakatini etkilediği söylenebilir. Ülke menşenin marka sadakati ve marka imajını etkilememesi, küreselleşmenin teknoloji ve bilimi tüm dünyaya yayması ile bireylerin belirli ülke ürünlerine olan bağlılığının azalması şeklinde izah edilebilir. Pozitif öz saygı faktörünün marka sadakatine etkisinde marka imajının aracılık rolünün olması; öz saygının marka sadakatine etkisi, marka imaj algısının etkisi ile gerçekleşmektedir. Çünkü, pozitif öz saygısı yüksek kişiler, marka imajı yüksek ürünler kullanmaktadır. Dolayısıyla öz saygılarından çok marka imaj algılarından dolayı markalara sadakat gösterdikleri söylenebilir.

Sociocultural Adjustment and Well-being Among Third Culture Kids and Their Families: Protocol for a Longitudinal Study.

BackgroundIncreasing globalization has led to more families with children being relocated each year, highlighting the importance of issues, such as adjustment and psychological well-being, in this population. These children, commonly known as third culture kids, often spend a significant part of their developmental years in countries and cultures foreign to them.ObjectiveOur longitudinal study aims to examine the roles of cognitive, psychological, sociocultural, and family factors in the longitudinal trajectories of the well-being and sociocultural adjustment of third culture kids and their families over time.MethodsThis study adopts both quantitative and qualitative procedures. Data from both procedures will be collected at baseline and at a 1-year follow-up. We aim to recruit 150 to 200 participants between 7 and 17 years old and one of their primary caregivers. After providing informed consent, participants will complete an online survey. Outcome measures include validated questionnaires on well-being and sociocultural adjustment. Predictor measures include validated questionnaires on negative self-thoughts, emotion regulation, resilience, psychological attributes, self-esteem, stress, acculturative stress, cultural intelligence, couple satisfaction, and family functioning. A multiple regression model will be used to analyze quantitative data. In addition, 15 to 20 families who participate in the online survey will be randomly selected to take part in a family interview focusing on questions related to well-being, relocation experiences, cultural issues, and challenges. A concurrent triangulation mixed methods design will be used to analyze and interpret data from both quantitative and qualitative methods.ResultsAs of March 15, 2022, a total of 138 children and 126 parents have completed the baseline online survey. In addition, 44 children and 48 parents have completed the 1-year follow-up online survey. A total of 8 families have completed the baseline family interview, while 4 families have completed the 1-year follow-up interview. Data analyses, transcription of the interview, and preparation for publication are on-going.ConclusionsFindings from this study would enable us to understand the adjustment processes, and risk and protective factors associated with the well-being and sociocultural adjustment of third culture kids and their families in Switzerland, which could have implications on the development of intervention programs for individuals and families to address acculturation and adjustment issues.International Registered Report Identifier (IRRID)RR1-10.2196/30088
