Effectiveness of strengthening exercises on positive thinking skills, psychological wellness and mental strength in athletes with a meniscus-ripped knee

This study aims to examine the influence of positive thinking, psychological well-being, and mental toughness on the recovery process following strengthening exercises in individuals diagnosed with a meniscus tear in the knee. The research cohort comprises 32 athletes diagnosed with a meniscus tear through Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Of these participants, 26 are male, and 6 are female, all aged above 18, engaged in amateur sports across diverse disciplines, and having sustained injuries during athletic activities. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups: Group A (experimental, n=16) and Group B (control, n=16). The study adopts a mixed model incorporating experimental, survey, and relational methodologies. The experimental model utilizes the experimental method with pretest-follow-up test and posttest control group design. Over an 8-week period, participants engage in exercises with each training session comprising 10 repetitions conducted twice daily. Assessments using the Positive Thinking, Psychological Well-Being, and Mental Resilience scales occur during the Pre-Test, Follow-up Test, and Post-Test stages throughout the study duration. Analysis of the research results reveals mean scores for positive thinking and psychological well-being scales above the medium level, whereas mental toughness scale scores approximate the middle level. The study concludes a moderate, yet statistically insignificant, positive correlation among positive thinking, psychological well-being, and mental toughness scale scores. Significantly, participants, guided by a physical therapist, exhibit a faster recovery rate compared to the control group. Consequently, it is inferred that the incorporation of psychological support alongside physical exercises contributes to an accelerated recovery process.

Mental Health in Institutionalized Older Adults: Influence of Emotional Intelligence on Psychological Well-Being

The present research work is grounded in the question: "Is there a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and psychological well-being in older adults?" In response to this, the hypothesis posits the existence of a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and psychological well-being in older adults. Consequently, the general objective of this study was to determine if there is a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and psychological well-being in older adults residing in a nursing home. This was accomplished through a Quantitative Correlational research design, using a sample of 85 older adults, encompassing both men and women, aged 60 years and older, residing in a nursing home. The assessment tools employed included Emily Sterret's Self-Assessment Test of Emotional Intelligence, which was adapted for use in Peru by Lorena Valdez in 2018, and Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale, originally created in the United States in 1995 and subsequently adapted for use in Peru by Madelinne Pérez-Basilio in 2017. The results revealed that in the realm of emotional intelligence, the predominant level was "optimal," accounting for 51%, followed by "outstanding," at 49%. Concerning psychological well-being, there was a predominance of the "high" level, comprising 61%, with 39% falling into the "medium" category. In conclusion, there was a strong correlation coefficient between emotional intelligence and psychological well-being, with r = 0.831** and significance at p < 0.01. This implies that higher emotional intelligence corresponds to greater psychological well-being among older adults residing in a nursing home.   Received: 7 September 2023 / Accepted: 9 April 2024 / Published: 5 May 2024

Effect of Attachment Style on Emotional Regulation and Psychological Wellbeing among Adults

This study investigates the impact of attachment style on emotional regulation and psychological well-being among adults. It aims to explore how individuals' attachment patterns influence their ability to regulate emotions and their overall psychological well-being. The study examines different attachment styles. The objectives of the study are to examine the relationship between attachment styles and emotional regulation, to assess the impact of attachment style on specific aspects of emotional regulation, and to investigate the association between attachment style and overall psychological well-being. Two hypotheses are proposed: one predicting a positive effect of attachment style on emotional regulation, and the other predicting a positive effect of attachment style on psychological well-being. A sample of 120 individuals, predominantly aged between 18-25 years, is selected through purposive sampling. Data collection involves administering the Revised Adult Attachment Scale (Collins, 1996), the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), and a Psychological Wellbeing scale, along with a demographic information form. Questionnaires are distributed via Google Forms and other channels, ensuring a diverse participant pool. The results indicate a significant positive effect of attachment style on emotional regulation. However, no significant positive effect of attachment style on psychological well-being is found. These findings suggest that attachment style may play a crucial role in influencing emotional regulation but may not directly impact overall psychological well-being.

Development and validation of the mindful eating scale (Mind-Eat Scale) in a general population

BackgroundMindful eating is a concept that is increasingly being used to promote healthy eating. Observational studies have suggested associations with healthier eating behaviors, lower weight status, and favorable cardiovascular biomarkers. However, existing scales assessing mindful eating have some limitations. Our study aimed to develop and validate a scale assessing the level of mindful eating in a general population. MethodsThe Mind-Eat Scale was developed in four main steps: 1. Generating an initial item pool covering all aspects of mindful eating; 2. Reviewing items with experts and naive individuals; 3. Administering the scale to a large and representative sample from the NutriNet-Santé cohort (N=3,102); 4. Conducting psychometric analyses. Construct validity was assessed using exploratory (EFA) (N1=1,302) and confirmatory (CFA) (N2=1,302, N3=498) factor analyses. Content, discriminant, convergent, and divergent validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability were examined. ResultsThe initial pool of 95 items was refined to 24 items using EFA. The EFA highlighted six dimensions: Awareness, Non-reactivity, Openness, Gratitude, Non-judgement, and Hunger/Satiety, consisting of four items per dimension. CFAs showed a good fit for first and second-order models. Adequate content validity was confirmed. Discriminant, convergent, and divergent validity were supported by significant differences between subgroups of individuals, and correlations with eating behaviors and psychological well-being scales. The Mind-Eat Scale showed good reliability for all six dimensions, with high McDonald's ω and adequate intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). ConclusionsThis study validated the first tool assessing a total mindful eating score and its sub-dimensions in a general population. This scale can be an asset for clinical and epidemiological research on dietary behavior and related chronic diseases.

Family functioning, family relationship problems, and psychological wellbeing among young adults

The study aims to examine the relationship between family functioning, family relationship problems, and psychological well-being among young adults in the southern region of India. The data was collected from a total 265 young adults aged 18 – 26 years old, through both online and offline means i.e. hybrid method was used. Using a quantitative non-experimental design, employing correlation analysis, data was analyzed. The measures that were used in the study were Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale (FACES III), the Index of Family Relations (IFR), and Ryff’s Psychological Well-being Scale (PWB) – 42items. The finding of the study show that there was indeed a significant relationship between family cohesion, a subdomain in family functioning and the domains of psychological wellbeing. However, no significant relationship was observed between family adaptability, another subdomain in family functioning and the domains psychological well-being. Conversely, family relationship problems showed a significant negative correlation with various aspects of psychological well-being, indicating that higher levels of family conflict were associated with lower levels of psychological well-being. In conclusion, the findings underscore the importance of addressing family dynamics and conflict resolution strategies to promote the psychological well-being of young adults.

Female blind baseball players against gender discrimination: the "red diamonds" experience.

Sport has the well-known power of improving body awareness, self-esteem, and social interaction, thus promoting quality of life and psychophysical wellbeing. Specifically referring to adapted disciplines, habitual practice often becomes an effective integration and self-efficacy booster. Among disabilities, visual impairment deeply alters body image perception, autonomy, and environmental/social interaction heavily reducing sport or leisure involvement opportunities. In particular, visually impaired women represent one of the most vulnerable categories to gender and disability discrimination. Moreover, even when congenitally sightless, they perceive social pressure of mainstream beauty ideals, mostly spread by media, comparable to their sighted peers. On these premises and the previously demonstrated psychophysical benefits of Italian blind baseball practice on this target population, the present study aimed to deepen the social and educative potentialities of such adapted sport applying a more sociological research approach. The "red diamonds" event, namely, the first ever female blind baseball match, was the setting for the administration of our structured online survey. In detail, our survey comprised different evaluation tools such as the 18-item Psychological Well-Being Scale, the 12-item Short Form questionnaire, the Dresden Body Image questionnaire, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and sociological model designed questions. Quality of life, psychological wellbeing, self-esteem, body image, and perceived female sport psychological violence were investigated in the whole women sample (n = 33) voluntarily adhering to the game. Survey results revealed no statistically significant differences between visually impaired players (n = 13; mean age: 32.84 ± 12.05 years) and sighted on-field subjects (i.e., coaches, assistants, and referees; n = 20; mean age: 47.15 ± 12.31 years) in almost all the inquired variables, thus remarking the social and functional benefits of adapted sport through the "dual embodiment" and empowerment phenomenon. Given that the event was inspired by and performed on the World Day against women violence, our study deepened not only the topic of disability discrimination but also the currently alarming gender-related one. In such a context, the present research might provide interesting cues for further investigations on disability and gender disparities in sports, hence spreading interest in this under-investigated field. In perspective, the "red diamonds" experience could also contribute to inspiring and progressively developing educative tools against any kind of discrimination by promoting integration and social growth through regular sports practice.

Impact of gender inequality on teacher's Psychological well-being at the workplace

Gender inequality is certainly a matter of concern in the workplace. Gender inequality has existed in India for centuries. Gender inequality means inequality with women on the basis of gender. Traditionally, women are seen as a weaker section in our society. Inequality in the workplace is analyzed by discrimination in decisions regarding wages, termination, promotion, hiring, leave, benefits etc. The presented research paper is an attempt to investigate the impact of gender inequality in the workplace on the psychological well-being of teachers. In the study, data has been collected using the psychological well-being scale developed by Sisodia and Chaudhary (2012). Gender Inequality in the Workplace Gender Discrimination Inventory developed by Azim, Azimi, Asraf and Rehman (2005) has been administered to the respondents.

The relationship between the meaning of life, psychological well-being, self-care, and social capital, with depression and death anxiety in the elderly living in nursing homes: The mediating role of loneliness

The current study aims to investigate the meaning of life, psychological well-being, self-care, and social capital, with depression and death anxiety in the elderly living in nursing homes through the mediating role of loneliness. The statistical population included all the elderly aged at least 60 years living in Tehran, Qazvin and Zanjan, Iran in 2020, among whom 489 (273 men and 216 women) were selected using convenience sampling method. Participants filled out Steger's Meaning of Life, Ryff and Singer's Psychological Well-Being Scale, Söderhamn et al.’s Self-Care Ability, Nahapiet and Ghoshal's Social capital, Beck's depression, Templer's Death Anxiety, Russell et al.’s Loneliness questionnaires. The results indicated that meaning of life, psychological well-being, self-care, and social capital are negatively associated with loneliness, which in turn, is positively associated to depression. Furthermore, meaning of life, psychological well-being, self-care, and social capital are negatively associated with loneliness, which in turn, is positively associated to death anxiety. Moreover, the results of path analysis revealed that the hypothesized model of the current study has an excellent fit in the study sample. That is, meaning of life, psychological well-being, self-care, and social capital are related to depression and death anxiety through mediating role of loneliness.

The Relations of Social Support and Well-Being in Mothers of Children with Special Needs During The COVID-19 Pandemic: The Mediating Role of Caregiving Burden

This study explores the relationship between social support and well-being in mothers of children with special needs during the COVID-19 pandemic with a specific focus on the mediating role of caregiving burden. The research investigates the challenges faced by families with special needs children, particularly mothers, due to the pandemic-related closure of schools and rehabilitation centers. The closure has intensified the caregiving burden on mothers, requiring full-time support for their children at home. Existing literature suggests a significant impact on the psychological well-being of families with special needs children, emphasizing the need for attention to this vulnerable group during the pandemic. The study formulates hypotheses related to the negative correlation between family support and caregiving burden, the negative correlation between caregiving burden and psychological well-being, and the positive correlation between family support and psychological well-being. Additionally, it hypothesizes that caregiving burden mediates the relationship between family support and psychological well-being. Using a relational research approach, the study employs a quantitative method to analyze data collected from 321 participants. The demographic information of the participants, including age, working condition, marital status, and the type of disability of their children, is presented. Data collection instruments include a Sociodemographic Information Form, Family Support Scale, Caregiving Burden Scale, and Psychological Well-being Scale. Results indicated a positive relationship between family support and psychological well-being, as well as a negative relationship between caregiving burden and psychological well-being. The mediation analysis confirmed that caregiving burden significantly mediates the relationship between family support and psychological well-being. The findings highlighted the crucial role of family support in enhancing the psychological well-being of mothers with special needs children. Additionally, the study emphasized the negative impact of increased caregiving burden on psychological well-being. These results contribute to the understanding of the challenges faced by families with special needs children during the COVID-19 pandemic and underscore the importance of targeted interventions to support this vulnerable group. Future research may explore strategies to involve fathers in the caregiving process and further enhance maternal mental health.

Psychological Well-Being Among Adolescents: The Role of Parenting Styles, Causal Attributions of Academic Success/Failure, and Perceived School Performance

We investigated the effects of perceived parenting styles, causal attributions for academic success/failure, and perceived school performance (PSP) on adolescents’ psychological well-being (PWB). Participants were 200 Brazilian adolescents who answered the Parenting Styles & Dimensions Questionnaire, the Psychological Well-Being Scale, and the Rating Scale of Causal Attributions for Academic Success/Failure (RSCA). The results showed that adolescents’ PWB was predicted by authoritative parenting style (APS), internal and controllable attributions (appropriate motivations to cope with academic success/failure; ICASF), and PSP. In addition, we tested a mediation model showing that the ICASF mediated the relationship between APS and PSP, which in turn led to better PWB. These results highlighted the relevance of parenting styles and school-based causal attributions for the understanding of adolescents’ mental health. Our findings can support interventions that enable more effective teaching–learning processes, which are associated with higher levels of mental health for the adolescent population.

Kesejahteraan psikologis pada remaja dengan orangtua bercerai: Dapatkah ditingkatkan dengan pelatihan memaafkan?

Divorce has many negative impacts on teenagers, such as low psychological well-being caused by negative emotions that arise as a result of parents' divorce. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of forgiveness training to improve psychological well-being in adolescents with divorced parents. This study uses the quasi-experimental design Pretest-Posttest Control Group with Follow-up Design.

The experimental group was given intervention in the form of forgiveness training for 3 meetings and the control group was given a video on the power of forgiveness after the research was complete. Data collection was carried out using the Psychological Well-being Scale (α – 0,919) and the Forgiveness Scale (α = 0,886). The data analysis method used is the Independent Sample T-test and Paired Sample T-test. Based on these results, it can be interpreted that training to forgive can improve the psychological well-being of adolescents with divorced parents.

Adolescents’ problematic internet use and psychological well-being : the mediating role of sleep quality and self-regulation

This study investigated the impact of Problematic Internet Use (PIU) on Iranian adolescents' Psychological Well-Being (PWB), focusing on the mediating roles of sleep quality and self-regulation. Data was collected from a sample of students (n=228, girl=197, boy=31) aged 12 to 19 years. Participants completed four online questionnaires, including the PIU questionnaire, the Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Short Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SSRQ). Results confirmed that while PIU was not directly effective on PWB, it was indirectly effective through the mediation of sleep quality and self-regulation. By gaining such understanding, we can devise interventions to enhance individuals' sleep quality and self-regulatory capacities, thereby improving their PWB.

The relationship between postpartum mothers’ dyadic coping and adjustment and psychological well-being

AbstractThis study determines the relationship between postpartum mothers’ dyadic coping and adjustment strategies and their psychological well-being. The study design was descriptive and correlational; it was conducted in the pediatric outpatient clinic of a maternity hospital in Northern Türkiye. A total of 327 1–12 month postpartum mothers participated in the study. Data were collected using a personal information form, the Dyadic Coping Inventory (DCI), the Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale (RDAS), and the Psychological Well-Being Scale. Mothers’ behavior as an individual and as a couple in dyadic coping, their perception of their partner’s behavior, and weak dyadic harmony between partners was significantly associated with risk factors affecting mothers’ psychological well-being (p < 0.05). A weak relationship was found between the dimensions of mothers’ psychological well-being and their perception of their own behavior in dyadic coping; a positive moderate relationship was found between mothers’ perception of their partner’s behavior in dyadic coping and behaviors exhibited as a couple in dyadic coping, and the former had a weak positive relationship with the dimensions of dyadic harmony and its subdimensions (p < 0.05). Self-perceived coping behavior, perception of the partner’s behavior, and joint coping behavior in dyadic coping, and weak dyadic harmony between partners were significant risk factors affecting mothers’ psychological well-being. Awareness of these factors by health professionals and individuals will increase the effectiveness of postpartum care and help couples adapt to the transition in the postpartum period, improve mother-father-infant interaction and strengthen dyadic harmony.

Early Career Project Managers: Well-being and Life Satisfaction Analysis

The essentials of the presented paper are the psychological well-being and life satisfaction of early-career project managers (maximum 18 months of experience in project management). The primary goal is to determine whether there is a relationship between the psychological well-being and life satisfaction of early-career project managers, and if relationships exist between these variables, to determine their strength. In the theoretical part of the paper, processed using the analysis of relevant information sources, we deal with the concepts of well-being and life satisfaction. As part of the research description, we define an early carrier project manager and describe a sample of respondents consisting of 88 early carrier project managers. To analyze the well-being and life satisfaction variables, we use the Psychological Well-Being Scale questionnaire and the Life Satisfaction Scale questionnaire, where the results of these questionnaires are subsequently subjected to descriptive statistical analysis. We found that there is a moderately strong and statistically significant relationship between the psychological well-being and life satisfaction of early-career project managers. The results of the research can serve as a basis for developing suitable adaptation programs for early carrier project managers, where HR professionals can devote their attention to improving the well-being of early carrier project managers and their life satisfaction and thus reduce the risk of burnout syndrome, which is a very common phenomenon not only among early carrier professions but also project managers. The issue of well-being appears to be relatively well researched and described, even in the context of project managers. However, the life satisfaction of project managers has not been analyzed in such detail, and it is no longer possible to find the issue of investigating the mutual correlation of well-being and life satisfaction of early-career project managers. It is our research that can narrow this gap in the theories of project management, human resource management, and work psychology. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2024-08-02-06 Full Text: PDF

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of density, tightness, and socioeconomic status on the psychological well-being of housewives (IRT). The research method is correlated with a cross-sectional design and sampling technique using simple random sampling totaling 171 IRT. The place of research is in one of the coastal areas of Pekanbaru City, Riau. The questionnaire used is divided into 4, namely density, tightness, socio-economic, and Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale (RPWB). The results of the study found that there were problems of density (62.6%), social congestion (5.3%), and space congestion (6.4%) as well as low economic problems (58.5%). The results of this study indicate that there is no relationship between density (p = 0.158) of crowding (p = 0.693) and socioeconomic (p = 0.777), with the level of psychological well-being (p > 0.05). The researcher suggests that further studies are needed on the factors that influence people living in densely populated areas based on the values ​​and culture they hold.

LEVELS OF DEPRESSION AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING AMONG INDIVIDUALS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC PROCESS

In this study, the levels of depression and psychological well-being among individuals were examined during the Covid-19 pandemic. The population of the study comprises individuals living in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus aged between 16 and 65. A total of 447 individuals, selected through random sampling, were included in the study. Data were collected using the Sociodemographic Information Form, the Psychological Well-Being Scale, and the DSM-5 Depression Scale. Within the scope of the research, Mann-Whitney U analysis was conducted for binary groups, and Kruskal-Wallis H analysis was employed for three or more groups as non-parametric tests. It was determined that there was a negative and moderately significant relationship between the level of depression and the level of psychological well-being among individuals. Although variables such as age, education level, living situation, chronic disease, and psychiatric diagnosis were not found to be correlated with the level of psychological well-being, gender, marital status, income level, the degree of psychological negative impact from the pandemic, and the use of psychiatric drugs were observed to influence the level of psychological well-being. Finally, no significant difference was found between the level of depression and variables such as gender, age, education status, the psychological negative impact of the pandemic process, and chronic disease. It was concluded that variables such as marital status, income level, cohabitating person, psychiatric drug use, and psychiatric diagnosis were associated with the level of depression.
