Disentangling character strengths from developmental competencies: The virtue of patience and self-regulatory competencies

ABSTRACT Despite renewed interest in the psychological study of character strengths, positive psychology remains marked by criticisms surrounding the differentiation of character strengths from other personality and developmental constructs. To highlight pathways for increased precision in character theory and empirical work, the study examined bidirectional associations between the character virtue of patience and three self-regulatory developmental competencies (anger regulation, sadness regulation, self-control). A diverse sample of 618 adolescents completed assessments across six months. Cross-lagged models revealed links between anger regulation at T1 and higher general and lower interpersonal patience six months later. General and life hardships patience were associated with later higher sadness regulation, and general patience was associated with later higher inhibitory self-control. Inhibitory self-control was associated with higher subsequent self-control and life hardships patience. Findings shed light on the dynamic association between developmental competencies and character strengths across time, offering a step forward for theory building.

KONSEP SABAR DALAM PERSPEKTIF AL–GHAZALI DAN IMPLEMENTASINYA PADA MASA PANDEMI COVID-19

The Covid-19 pandemic is an extraordinary event that is happening right now with various accompanying impacts, especially for the mental and spiritual condition of humans. Therefore, patience is one of attitudes and characters that must be owned by anyone, because it is believed that by being patient at least able to strengthen a person in the face of a pandemic situation. In Islam, patience is a noble character taught especially by Sūfīs like Al-Ghazali, thus this research was conducted to find out the concept of patience according to Al-Ghazali which includes the meaning of patience, the virtue of patience and its implementation in human life during the Covid-19 Pandemic. This type of research is a literature study with a descriptive analysis method. The conclusions of this study included the way s for having a patient nature according to al-Ghazali are by weakening the drive for lust and strengthening the driving force of religion. Patience in human life has implications for religious life and social life, so patience has the potential to make one's religious and social life better.

Growth in patience in Christian Moral Wisdom and contemporary positive psychology

ABSTRACT Moral education requires interdisciplinary engagement across philosophy, psychology, and education. Positive psychologists regularly acknowledge the breadth and depth of wisdom regarding the cultivation of virtues present in philosophical and religious texts and consult such writings when creating constructs, but they are less prone to integrate scientific findings with historical texts as inquiry proceeds. Thus, we provide a comparative analysis of the advice given in Lorenzo Scupoli’s The Spiritual Combat, from traditional Christian moral wisdom literature and the research findings from positive psychology on the cultivation of the virtue of patience. Points of convergence relate to the utility of engaging activities that include cognitive reappraisal, habit formation through daily practice, activating positive motivation, prayer, mantra/transcendental meditation, and cultivating elevation through meditation on moral exemplars. Areas of divergence include the advisability of suppression, the role of motivation, and necessity of spiritual intervention, which suggest areas for future inquiry in moral education.

The making of John Tyndall's Darwinian Revolution

ABSTRACT One of the most influential imagined histories of science of the nineteenth century was John Tyndall's Belfast Address of 1874. In that address, Tyndall presented a sweeping history of science that focused on the attempt to understand the material nature of life. While the address has garnered attention for its discussion of the conflict at the centre of this history, namely between science and theology, less has been said about how Tyndall's history culminated with a discussion of the evolutionary researches of Charles Darwin. Tyndall presented Darwin as a revolutionary scientific practitioner, whose virtues of patience, self-denial, and observation led him to his epochal theory of evolution and thus justified the extension of science into realms previously under the purview of theology. Tyndall was criticized at the time for his ‘vulgar admiration’ of a man of science who was still very much alive, and who could not possibly live up to such ‘fulsome adulation’. What such critics failed to realize, however, is that Tyndall had historicized the living Darwin within the context of his own philosophy of history that he cultivated years before, a philosophy that integrated the moral lives of heroic individuals within a progressive history of science itself.

Patient patients: Increased patience associated with decreased depressive symptoms in psychiatric treatment

ABSTRACTFew studies in positive psychology have examined associations between virtues and mental health in highly distressed samples. This study demonstrates the relevance of the virtue of patience, conceptualized as the capacity to calmly face frustration and suffering, within a spiritually integrated treatment program offering inpatient psychiatric hospitalization. Previously evaluated in non-distressed samples, patience may increase during hospitalization and facilitate positive treatment outcomes. The present study found patience was inversely related to symptoms of major depressive disorder (MDD) in 248 adults (M = 40.78 years; SD = 18.97) with clinical diagnoses for a range of conditions. Participants completed measures assessing patience and MDD symptoms at both intake and discharge. Latent change score results showed decreases in MDD symptoms and increases in patience for life hardships, interpersonal challenges, and daily hassles over the course of hospitalization. Changes in life hardships and interpersonal patience were inversely correlated with changes in MDD symptoms.

ANGER VERSUS PATIENCE: COMPARISON OF PSYCHOLOGICAL AND ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE ON EXPRESSING AND CONTROLLING ANGER

In the current times when anxiety, depression, and violence, anger as a psychological disorder is known to be the most commonly experienced emotion. It can be considered to be the most poorly handled human emotion both at individual and societal level. The research about anger and health suggests that anger and hostility are strongly linked to increased risk factor for many diseases and are potential triggers for long-term illnesses. Anger often results in hypertension, heart attacks, stroke, and diabetes. On the other hand, patience is a trait which can counter such illnesses and can help cure the anger. Alongside this, religiosity, especially in case of Islam, can be used as effective tool for the treatment of patient’s sufferings with diseases caused by anger. The nearest to Allah from His creations are those who are patient and grateful. Patience is the initial step of victory and a prerequisite for effective leadership. Virtues of patience are unlimited. One of the most notable among them is the control on anger. The current research is based on the process of controlling the anger through by developing the praiseworthy trait of patience. The first part of the paper presents an overview of literature related to anger as a problem in the field of psychology. Second part describes anger as an emotion from Islamic perspective. The third part deals with the triggers of anger as suggested by the health experts. Fourth part presents the introduction to patience as a desirable trait in Islam. This is followed by a description of patience as a cure for controlling anger with reference to the Quran and Hadith. Last part is about the role and importance of patience in addressing the issue of anger according to the teachings of Quran and Hadith. Being Muslims who wish to control our anger, we should create the trait of patience with an intentions to having a strong belief and trust in Allah and receiving reward from Him only.

“This intrinsicate knot of life” in Antony and Cleopatra

Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra is a transitional play from his great tragedies to the late romances. In his last plays Shakespeare represents his expanded and comprehensive vision of life with his centrifugal images and expansive symbolism. Thematically this vision is dramatized by the achievement of the virtue of patience by his long-suffering and meandering sea-tossed characters. We can easily find out some thematic resemblance between the late medieval narrative poem, ‘Pearl’ and his romance plays. Both Antony and Cleopatra falls short at the brink of entering that happy paradise of reconciliation at the last moment. However, Shakespeare suggests their happy marriage in death, as did Romeo and Juliet. This after-life vision makes it difficult for us categorize generically both Romeo and Juliet and Antony and Cleopatra in tragedies and comedies. The titular heroes and heroines in both plays are comically rash and impatient. Shakespeare’s experiment in tragicomedies is made possible by his understanding and detached observation of life as a “mingled yarn’ of some “intrinsicate knots” and entanglements. The apparent bipolarism in Antony and Cleopatra of Rome and Egypt, self-indulgence and military discipline, and the Tiber and the Nile, confounds itself into the final reconciliation of the “mighty opposites” and the vision of life in death and death in life at once. Shakespeare succeed in the play in alchemically transmuting his uncertain historical materials into a cosmic myth-making. The myth-making in his last phase is adumbrate in the play’s expanded spatio-temporal structure and images. “This capacity to correlate opposites” makes possible Shakespeare’s oblique criticism of the heroic honour and political powers that be.

Taking time for patience in organizations

Purpose– Patience is underestimated in organizations. The purpose of this paper is to explore the concept of patience and the individual and organizational benefits it confers. Then, the paper discuses emotional self-regulation and explain how two self-regulatory techniques can affect the patience of individuals in organizations.Design/methodology/approach– The paper considers religious, philosophical, and psychological perspectives on patience; and highlight the emotional underpinnings of patience.Findings– The paper argues that patience plays an important role in organizations and that individuals can use emotional self-regulation to enhance their patience. The paper offers two key points about the relationship between self-regulation strategies and patience: first, situation selection mitigates the need for patience and second cognitive reappraisal facilitates the execution of patient responses and the development of the virtue itself.Practical implications– The paper provides recommendations for increasing individuals’ patience in organizational settings.Originality/value– The virtue of patience has received scant research attention. This paper focusses on the importance of patience in the workplace and examines how emotional self-regulation can facilitate its activation.

Rebuilding fish communities: the ghost of fisheries past and the virtue of patience

The ecosystem approach to management requires the status of individual species to be considered in a community context. We conducted a comparative ecosystem analysis of the Georges Bank and North Sea fish communities to determine the extent to which biological diversity is restored when fishing pressure is reduced. First, fishing mortality estimates were combined to quantify the community-level intensity and selectivity of fishing pressure. Second, standardized bottom-trawl survey data were used to investigate the temporal trends in community metrics. Third, a size-based, multispecies model (LeMans) was simulated to test the response of community metrics to both hypothetical and observed changes in fishing pressure in the two communities. These temperate North Atlantic fish communities have much in common, including a history of overfishing. In recent decades fishing pressure has been reduced, and some species have started to rebuild. The Georges Bank fishery has been more selective, and fishing pressure was reduced sooner. The two communities have similar levels of size diversity and biomass per unit area, but fundamentally different community structure. The North Sea is dominated by smaller species and has lower evenness than Georges Bank. These fundamental differences in community structure are not explained by recent fishing patterns. The multispecies model was able to predict the observed changes in community metrics better on Georges Bank, where rebuilding is more apparent than in the North Sea. Model simulations predicted hysteresis in rebuilding community metrics toward their unfished levels, particularly in the North Sea. Species in the community rebuild at different rates, with smaller prey species outpacing their large predators and overshooting their pre-exploitation abundances. This indirect effect of predator release delays the rebuilding of community structure and biodiversity. Therefore community rebuilding is not just the sum of single-species rebuilding plans. Management strategies that account for interspecific interactions will be needed to restore biodiversity and community structure.

Schrift als Grund und Grenze von Interpretation

The article discusses the concept of external clarity (part 1), the often underestimated affinity of theological to jurisprudential hermeneutics (part 2) and the aesthetical idea of a reader-oriented constitution of meaning (part 3). Whereas Luthers principle of clarity challenged the historical approach of modern hermeneutics (1) and whereas the necessity to decide between conflicting claims is an essential feature of practical disciplines and their focus on judgements (2), the plenitude of possible interpretations encourages personal understanding and appropriation (3). But none of these three perspectives justifies any attempt to override the phenomenon of the text by the arbitrariness of interpretation. On the contrary, the infinite process of understanding and the concreteness of a given text require critical methods, scientific investigation and the hermeneutical virtue of patience in order to foster a sense for otherness within human understanding. Even though there is no such thing as the one and only method to discover the original meaning of texts, Scripture may still be understood as a principle of theology: as its origin and at the same time its limitation, as a source of present self-understanding and as an indication of boundaries beyond which Christianity would not be recognizable any longer. Thus, theological hermeneutics combines the tasks of historical reconstruction, of systematic understanding and of individual application.

Patient Lancelot and Impatient Gawain in the Queste del Saint Graal

Medieval patience traditions influenced the characterizations of Lancelot and Gawain in the Old French Queste del Saint Graal . The virtue of patience is important in the ethical system of the narrative. Endurance, the nature of suffering, and the relationship between patience and the passions inform the adventures of the two knights.

Decision Making: The Virtue of Patience in Primates

Marmoset monkeys devalue rewards requiring travel to acquire, but tamarin monkeys do not, despite the greater patience of marmosets when rewards are delayed in time. Such preference reversals, not predicted by standard economic theory, may reflect behavioral mechanisms adaptively specialized for different spatial and temporal patterns of foraging.

Gastric and duodenal ulcer treatment

NALYSIS of this subject by the A faithfu1 reader and patient Iistener, for an agreeable Iength of time, Ieads one to the consideration of three definite but somewhat overIapping issues. Firstly, there is the border warfare to estabIish a medico-chirurgical boundary Iine, a perennia1 parity conference, with the dipIomacy not aIways in evidence. SecondIy, there is a constant striving for standardization of procedure, an endeavor common to both medica and surgica1 interests. And thirdIy, one observes the effort to express the Iast word, that one may sIump back into the comforting embrace of the fuIIy crystaIIized idea. These curious smaI1 erosions of a sIight fraction of man’s vuInerabIe surface, a matter of indefmite consideration in past ages of medica knowIedge, were subjected first to an inteIIigent anatomica and pathoIogica1 consideration by CruveiIhier aImost exactIy a century ago. His treatment, compiIed from his own observation and the experience of others, discIoses that the modern method of non-surgica1 attack became authoritative at that time. In summarized form, he advocated twentyfour hours’ abstinence from food, to be foIIowed thereafter by severa teaspoonfuIs of miIk every four hours, to be augmented Iater by geIatinous or starchy foods, gaseous waters and soups. He advised the use of caIcined magnesia, carbonate of magnesia, Iime water, peppermint tea and the sucking of sugar to promote saIivary secretion. Note the earIy approva1 of the Iatest advances, nameIy, the superiority of caIcium carbonate over aIkaIies that cause aIkaIinization, the pharmacoIogic retardation of peristaIsis by essentia1 oiIs, and the utiIity of sugar as a salivary stimuIant. Expressing it briefly, for the requirements of this meeting, the proper nonsurgica1 approach of the probIem has been in evidence, with slight variation, for a hundred years. The empiric principIe of rest and frequent miIk plus feedings, the reversion to the caIcium of CruveiIhier, the abandonment of excessive aIkaIinization furnish a program of contracted scope and Iimited variety comprehensibIe to everyone. Experience in the so-caIIed medica conduct of this condition has eIicited vaIuabIe information on accompanying physica1 states, essentia1 CIassifactory tabuIations, differentia1 diagnostic facts and proper appreciation of psychoneurotic inff uences. But, from a Iong period of commendabIe appIication of the internist’s virtues of patience, fideIity and persistence, we have received scant reward. A smaI1 group of cases, probabIy best described as possessing acute uIcers, show satisfactory response and fuIfiI1 requirements as to proper criteria of cure. This group perhaps substantiates the dictum that medica treatment shouId be given a tria1 in most newIy discovered cases. But the great buIk of uIcers are of the chronic type with cIear pathoIogica1 characteristics. These a11 tend toward deveIopment of obstruction (34 per cent) gross hemorrhage (40 per cent) and perforation (6 per cent) in the duodena1 area, pIus maIignancy in the gastric area. In weighing the vaIue of the Iast factor one finds authority for any figure from 7 to 70 per cent. Regardless of whether this is a coincidenta or causa1 finding, about 2 per cent of operations performed pureIy on evidence of gastric uIcer discIose the presence of maIignancy. Our medica measures consistentIy usuaIIy retard this progress, but eIiminate pathoIogy but rareIy. With the resuIt not often suffIcientIy appreciated or admitted, that we have under our care a more comfortabIe patient but a sick individua1, a

Principles of Economic Security

Except for life's adversities and the accompanying tests of human character symbolized by the economic depression through which we have been passing under the momentum of cumulative material progress, mankind would have been deprived of its chief sources of inspiration and its most effective stimuli to effort. It is against the dark background of unhappy experiences that both the individual and society can see more clearly their own errors and shortcomings; and until they see them, no attempt is deliberately made to correct them. I daresay that during the past year, while the sun of our accustomed prosperity has been hidden behind the shifting clouds, more serious thought has been given to such subjects as the one under examination than during all the preceding years of our national history. If, therefore, out of these superinduced considerations and discussions, plans shall be evolved and set in motion with a view of more nearly equalizing and perpetuating the opportunities of all people to earn and conserve their own protections against the visitations of economic and other misfortunes, the depression will have been justified as a distinct benefactor. I very much doubt that the brotherhood of man as a governing force in human relations could ever be fully realized without the aid of these occasions in life which involve common sacrifice, suffering, and mutual sympathy. Proof is abundant that we are nearer to that realization today in America than we have ever been before. In industry in particular the evidences are constantly multiplying that all of its human parts are becoming more closely drawn together not only by the ties of mutual interest, but by the advancing spirit of reciprocal understanding. Even during the past few months we have witnessed many impressive manifestations of this developing spirit of human interest in our Nation. I believe, more and more, those who have are thinking of those who have not, and I construe this as part of the fruit of the depression. If these things be true, there ought not to be any problems which an aroused American intelligence and interest cannot solve. But nothing is going to be more necessary in the successful accomplishment of the tasks ahead than the general application of the virtue of patience and Christian tolerance. Even as some of the finest values in life come
