Las personas que presentan discapacidad física, la percepción de las diferentes situaciones a las que tienen que enfrentarse pueden influir en sus emociones y comportamiento.Objetivo: Analizar las diferencias o similitudes entre las personas con discapacidad y sin discapacidad en el ámbito de la inteligencia emocional, la resiliencia y la autoestima. Metodología: Estudio cuantitativo de tipo descriptivo, transversal, y prospectivo, utilizando las escalas de la Inteligencia emocional TMMS-24, la escala de la Resiliencia CD-RISC10 y la escala de la autoestima de Rosemberg, con un total de 100 participantes. Resultados: Las personas con discapacidad física presentan medias estadísticamente superiores en inteligencia emocional y resiliencia, aunque en autoestima las personas sin discapacidad presentan medias superiores. Discusión: Distintos autores ponen de manifiesto que las emociones juegan un papel fundamental en el bienestar de los individuos. En el caso de las enfermedades que implican discapacidad física, afectan a los diferentes aspectos de la vida de las personas, por lo tanto se hace más necesario aún el buen manejo emocional para evitar que la persona sufra mayores consecuencias físicas y/o emocionales. Conclusiones: Las personas con discapacidad física presentan unos niveles adecuados de inteligencia emocional en sus diferentes dimensiones, desarrollando estrategias de afrontamiento que les permiten hacer frente a dichas dificultades. La autoestima de las personas con discapacidad física, se ve mermada por la baja percepción de control independiente.

Nursing professionals face a high level of stress and burnout due to overloaded responsibilities, which may cause a low level of self-efficacy. From the perspective of nursing professionals, the research aims to understand what are the sources of stress and burnout which would reduce the self-efficacy and the unbalanced patient ratio and how would nursing professionals describe their experiences, sources of stress and burnout, and self-efficacy. Based on the snowball sampling strategy, 60 nursing professionals were invited for qualitative research data collection. Based on the lens of the self-efficacy approach, the results indicated that the environmental factors, including workplace bullying, family stress, misunderstanding of public members, and personal development and career enhancement took important roles in increasing their stress and burnout and in reducing their self-efficacy. The outcomes of this study discovered the social status and discrimination toward nursing professionals. Government leaders, policymakers, and researchers should take this research as an opportunity to reform their policy for human resource management and education for the respectfulness of medical and nursing professionals in the public health system.

In 2015, the Self-Action Leadership Theory—a qualitative, nomological expansion of self-leadership theory rooted in atmospheric and astronomical metaphor aimed at expanding the personal freedom of individuals, organizations, and nations by bolstering the existential growth of individuals through a series of Maslow-esque stages of holistic, personal development. This article introduces an accompanying, practitioner-based Model of Self-Action Leadership (SAL) aimed at the implicit enhancement of a holistic range of administrative processes through explicit training, mentoring, and coaching in the model’s general and universally-applicable principles and practices. The SAL model produces an original construct of personal leadership practice that builds upon the extant self-leadership academic canon, which dates back to 1983 (Manz, 1983). It also provides an analogue to four of the five core processes of Project Management by positioning a self-action leader (an individual) as the ongoing “project” at hand. The SAL Model is rooted in action research and was developed through a variety of self-oriented, action research projects in conjunction with a comprehensive, qualitative, analytical autoethnographic study of a scholar’s life experiences.

Este estudio presenta los resultados de un curso acerca de las relaciones e implicación entre el desarrollo personal, la profesión docente, la educación y el autoconocimiento mediante prácticas de autobservación. Se centra en el análisis de una actividad educativa consistente en la observación sostenida desde la atención hacia la interioridad personal de los propios participantes, todos profesionales docentes. Se constata que dicha acción proporciona una nueva mirada o comprensión del “sí mismo” y de la relación educadora con el alumnado. Así mismo, se muestra como se alcanzan las finalidades del curso, consistentes en producir reflexión entre los participantes sobre la Educación y su finalidad, así como, poner en valor la necesidad del trabajo interior sobre de la emocionalidad propia de los/as educadores/as y de como su autoconocimiento produce indirectamente mejoras educativas en el alumnado. El estudio se ha realizado sobre una población de 37 participantes. Se ha usado una metodología cualitativa de carácter inductivo a partir de un instrumento, cuestionario, construido “ad hoc” y aplicado según modelo pretest-post test. Para el análisis de datos se utilizó el programa ATLAS.ti.  del que se desprenden resultados significativos centrados en el efecto de desarrollo personal que constatan los educadores y educadoras mediante la práctica de la auto observación y como esta predispone a una consideración en cuanto objetivo educacional, el desarrollo de prácticas de autoconocimiento del mundo emocional de su alumnado. Finalmente, se presentan los resultados más relevantes sobre conocimiento del “Si mismo” que mayor impacto han tenido en el desarrollo del sujeto profesional docente. Personal development is a sensitive matter for those who practice a profession interacting with people. Teaching allows, perhaps more than any other field, to be aware of the relationship between one's performance and its effects on students. Therefore, the interest in knowing its different factors and aspects is sustained over the years.This study proposes to learn about the perception of primary andsecondary education teachers about the relationship between self-knowledge, through self-observation practices, with personal development and, in turn, the incidence of the latter in professional improvement.The study is based on the content analysis of the thoughts manifested by the participants of a training-educational activity. This activity consisted of sustained observation from attention to personal interiority from all teaching professionals. The population of the study consists of 37 participants. An inductive qualitative methodology is used with an instrument, questionnaire, constructed “ad hoc” and it’s applied according to the pretest-posttest model.The data analysis was performed using the ATLAS Ti program. After the analysis, the following significant results emerged:71% of the teachers expressed interest in strengthening self-observation as a way of self-knowledge and as a goal for personal development and improvement of professional practice.It is found this action provides a new understanding of the "self" and the educational relationship teachers have with students.

The article is devoted to the illustration of the theoretical and methodological foundations of development facilitative abilities of the future psychologists. It is founded the topicality of the future psychologists’ training, oriented on the basic ideas of humanistic paradigm, the necessity to organize favorable conditions for the development of his abilities. On the base of the realized theoretical analysis was made an attempt to define the concept facilitative abilities of the future psychologist as integrated combination of emotional, cognitive, behavioral and volitional formations which is revealed in the ability to provide its own efficient functioning, formation and development, and promote the full development of another person. It is generalized that most researchers refer to facilitative abilities the ability to be yourself (genuineness, sincerity and congruence); ability of self-esteem and self-understanding, respect and understanding of others; the ability to help and support the approval, adoption; trust, sympathetic understanding; the ability to organize conditions for personal development; the ability to organize a special microclimate in the group. It is determined that the development of the facilitative abilities of the future psychologists is impossible outside of the facilitative environment, in which the self-designing, professional and personal student’s formation directly related to self-development and self-improvement of the teacher-facilitator. One of the most important conditions that provide the facilitation of the environment is subject-subjective (dialogic) interpersonal relationship between teacher-facilitator and student. Prospects for further research we see in foundation theoretical model of future psychologist’s facilitative activity and developing procedural and methodological apparatus psychological monitoring its development.

Aim/Purpose: Engagement in doctoral training is intended to lead to personal development, as well as – of course - the development of a person’s skills as a researcher. Having engaged in the occupation of doctoral training, I aim to reflect upon how my identity as researcher developed throughout this process; that is, through doing, being, becoming, and belonging. The aim of my doctoral research was to explore the impact of woman-to-woman rape and sexual assault. Hence, the foundational themes explored in this paper are sexual offending, auto/biography, and the significance of identity. Background: I commenced my doctoral training as someone who identified as an occupa-tional scientist and who, therefore, understood that occupation is a means through which people can develop, express themselves, and achieve some sense of belonging. Having completed my training, I reflect upon my becoming an auto/biographical researcher. Methodology: In this original paper, I use the sociologically-informed auto/biographical ap-proach, which affords me with the rationale for writing from the first-person perspective. Auto/biography concedes the combined inclusion of my own voice – as researcher - and the experiences of my respondents. Contribution: Little is known about the issue of woman-to-woman sexual offending, let alone the impact of researching this traumatic topic upon the researcher. Moreover, research has only relatively recently started to grow that explicitly uses an auto/biographical approach, in which researchers embrace their subjectivity and positionality within their work. Findings: Identifying as an auto/biographical researcher, I appreciate how my respond-ents – in terms of their identity and the stories they told me - were integral to my development. That is, I engaged in the process of developing and under-standing the Self through exploring the perceived impacts of woman-to-woman rape and sexual assault. Recommendations for Practitioners: I invite practitioners to share their awareness that woman-to-woman sexual offending is a very real phenomenon. Additionally, your engagement in or with research (which can include being the audience, or reader of research) is one way in which you can gain understanding of your Self. Recommendation for Researchers: I invite others to reflect upon how embodying the Self can lead you to gain self-knowledge through direct experience. Good, moral research practice does not have to involve the researcher remaining objective, neutral, and value-free. Your subjective and personal experiences as the researcher may well support the use of an auto/biographical approach. Impact on Society: Researching traumatic topics can have a varied emotional and professional impact upon researchers that warrants scrutiny. Use of an auto/biographical approach, in which the researcher’s insider status is made explicit - has enabled this researcher (me) to manage this impact, whilst also developing my knowledge, experience and Self. Future Research: Research that should follow on from this paper must continue to explore working auto/biographically when researching traumatic topics and biographical disruptions.

We describe the foundations of the fractal self in relation to the Chinese notion of personal development and enhancement of adeptness in the world and mutualism with the other. This seeking, described in the codified system of Daoism, is a pathway that may progress to the highest level of achievement of such a self: that which defines a sage. The chapter introduces the view that a sage is a fractal self that achieves a peak of intimacy and constructive interaction with the world. We detail the development of human beings on this pathway, emerging beyond the core embodiments of empathy, sympathy, and rudimentary morality observed in apes. The self for the early Chinese was always a being that was embedded in the world and dynamic flow of forces. This self was defined in intimate terms as adaptable and adept, seeking to be a microcosmic contributor to some holistic macrocosm. In this chapter, Daoism leads our thinking on how the fractal self engages with the world. In turn, this way of understanding selfness and its potential to enrich its system from within resonates with discussions of the interactive self of Buddhism and was also in the minds of Pre-Socratic thinkers in the West.
