Regulation Strategies

Background Cognitive emotion regulation plays a crucial role in psychopathology, resilience and well-being by regulating response to stress situations. However, the relationship between personality and adaptive and maladaptive regulation has not been sufficiently examined. Methods Adaptive and maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies of 247 university students were measured using the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) and their temperament and character characteristics were analyzed with the Temperament and Character Inventory—Revised Short (TCI-RS). Two-step hierarchical multiple regression analyses were used to analyze whether TCI-RS explains the use of adaptive and maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies. The latent classes of cognitive emotion regulation strategies were extracted with Latent Class Analysis (LCA) and significant differences in the subscales of CERQ and TCI-RS were examined with Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) and Profile Analysis after controlling for sex and age. Results The two-step hierarchical multiple regression model using the seven TCI-RS subscales explained 32.30% of the adaptive and 41.70% of the maladaptive CERQ subscale scores when sex and age were introduced in the first step as covariates. As for temperament, Novelty Seeking (NS) and Persistence (PS) were pivotal for adaptive and Harm Avoidance (HA) and PS for maladaptive CERQ total scores. In addition, the character traits Self-Directedness (SD) and Cooperativeness (CO) were critical for high adaptive and low maladaptive CERQ scores. Four latent emotion regulation classes were confirmed through LCA, and distinct TCI-RS profiles were found. The temperament trait HA and character trait SD were significantly different among the four latent emotion regulation classes. Discussion This study demonstrated that SD and CO are related to cognitive emotion regulation strategies along with psychological health and well-being, and that PS exhibits dualistic effects when combined with NS or HA on response to stressful situations. The importance of developing mature character represented by higher SD and CO in regard to mental health and its clinical implementation was discussed.

And Migration

Whereas in the past, resilience was seen as a character trait of the few, enabling a ‘bounce back’ to some prior healthy state, it is described as something that is transitional, that enables a ‘bouncing forward’ for all those who experience growth from having survived or even thrived through challenging experiences. This interpretation enables action as it opens the possibility of exploring what can be put in place to ensure these experiences can be opportunities for positive change for all, leading to improved mental well-being and physical health. While for most migrants the act of migration is an active choice driven by hopes for life improvement, migration can create challenges. For refugee and asylum-seeker populations, who have been the focus of most migrant-resilience research, their status suggests an increased likelihood of having experienced adversity and a risk of experiencing ongoing challenges. Qualitative studies with migrant populations indicate high levels of resilience, including personal characteristics, beliefs, behaviours, and cultural understandings that enable people to survive and even thrive following such experiences. Policies and interventions to support resilience should include both external protective factors such as access to basic human needs, social integration and relationships in destination countries, and services for those who require intervention. Few intervention studies use asset-focused outcomes such as resilience and well-being, and there is an opportunity for established and emerging therapies to use these to enhance evaluation and understanding.

<p>Resilience can be defined as an individual’s capacity to navigate their ways to resources that help to sustain well being.  Resilience is the ability to steer through serious life challenges and find ways to bounce back and to thrive. Emotional Intelligence is a dimension that addresses self-regulatory processes of emotions that enable one to make adjustments to achieve individual and group goals; Emotional Intelligence is strongly correlated with individual advancement and success in an academic setting and with a child’s academic performance. Teaching resilience to children is utmost essential to help them prepare for challenges. It is a character trait which can help them build self-awareness and self-advocacy skills. It can also help them develop new strategies and tools for solving problems and boost their motivation and self-esteem. Taking into consideration the relevance of both of these variables in the academic life of students, the present study is undertaken to assess the level of resilience and emotional intelligence among the school students of Government and private schools of Sonapur area of Assam. </p>

Purpose. The aim of the study is to identify the relationship between the tendency to forgiveness and depression in a sample of 168 students (87 women and 81 men), of which 96 students aged 19 to 23 years, receiving first higher education and 72 students aged 24 to 45 years of obtaining a second higher education. The sample of respondents was formed from 5 Ukrainian universities: Borys Hrinchenko Kyiv University, M. P. Drahomanov National Pedagogical University, KROK University of Economics and Law, Kyiv National Linguistic University, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Methods. The following psychodiagnostic methods were used in the empirical study: 1) questionnaire “Forgiveness scale as character trait” (authors: J. W. Berry, E. L. Worthington, L. E. O’Connor, L. Parrott, N. G. Wade); 2) the method of “Diagnosis of depression and anxiety” (author: L. R. Derogatis); 3) the scale of psychological well-being (author K. Riff, version Shevelenkova-Fesenko). Spearman’s correlation analysis and simple linear regression analysis were used to process the empirical data.Results. The concept of forgiveness is seen as a process of a person’s conscious rejection of resentment, anger, hatred, indignation, sadness caused by other people’s unfair treatment of them, and replacing negative feelings with more neutral and, finally, positive ones, such as compassion, pity, accompanied by positive thoughts about the offender and the termination of his conviction. Significant negative correlations by Spearman’s correlation analysis were found between the tendency to forgive and depression, and anxiety. There is a positive significant correlation by Spearman’s correlation analysis between the tendency to forgive and psychological well-being.Conclusions. People who are more prone to forgiveness are characterized by less pronounced depression and anxiety and more pronounced psychological well-being. The tendency to forgive has been found to be a predictor of reduced depression. The obtained results can be used in the process of further research of the problem of the peculiarities of the tendency to forgive and in psychological counseling and psychotherapy.Key words: forgiveness, tendency to forgive, positive psychology, depression, anxiety, psychological well-being. Мета. Метою дослідження є виявлення особливостей зв’язку між схильністю до прощення та депре-сивністю на вибірці 168-ми студентів (87 жінок і 81 чоловік), з яких 96 студентів віком від 19 до 23 років, котрі здобувають першу вищу освіту, та 72 студенти віком від 24 до 45 років, які здобувають другу вищу освіту. Вибірку респондентів сформовано з 5-ти українських університетів: Київського університету імені Бориса Грінченка, Національного педагогічного університету імені М.П. Драгоманова, Універ-ситету економіки і права «КРОК», Київського національного лінгвістичного університету, Київського національного університету імені Тараса Шевченка.Методи. В емпіричному дослідженні використовувались такі психодіагностичні методи: 1) опитувальник «Шкала прощення як риси характеру» (автори: Дж. В. Беррі (J.W. Berry), E.Л. Уортингтон (E.L. Worthington), Л.Е. О’Коннор (L.E. O’Connor), Л. Парротт (L. Parrott), Н.Г. Уэйд (N.G. Wade)); 2) методика «Діагностика депресії та тривоги» (автор: Л.Р. Дерогатис (L.R. Derogatis); 3) шкала психо-логічного благополуччя (автор К. Рифф, версія Шевеленкової-Фесенко).Результати. Концепт прощення розглядається як процес свідомої відмови особи від образи, гніву, ненависті, обурення, суму, зумовлених несправедливим ставленням інших людей до неї, та заміни негативних почуттів більш нейтральними і, нарешті, позитивними, такими як співчуття, жалість, що супроводжуються позитивними думками стосовно кривдника і припиненням його засудження. Виявлено негативні значущі кореляційні зв’язки показника схильності до прощення з депресією та тривогою. Встановлено позитивний значущий кореляційний зв’язок схильності до прощення з психологічним благополуччям.Висновки. Особи, які в більшій мірі схильні до прощення, характеризуються менш вираженими депресією та тривогою і більш вираженим психологічним благополуччям. Виявлено, що схильність до прощення є предиктором зниження депресії. Отримані результати можуть бути використані в процесі подальшого дослідження проблеми особливостей схильності до прощення і в психологічній консультації та психотерапії.Ключові слова: прощення, схильність до прощення, позитивна психологія, депресія, тривога, психологічне благополуччя.

The Relationship

Purpose Hearing loss self-management refers to the knowledge and skills people use to manage the effects of hearing loss on all aspects of their daily lives. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between self-reported hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Method Thirty-seven adults with hearing loss, all of whom were current users of bilateral hearing aids, participated in this observational study. The participants completed self-report inventories probing their hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationship between individual domains of hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Results Participants who reported better self-management of the effects of their hearing loss on their emotional well-being and social participation were more likely to report less aided listening difficulty in noisy and reverberant environments and greater satisfaction with the effect of their hearing aids on their self-image. Participants who reported better self-management in the areas of adhering to treatment, participating in shared decision making, accessing services and resources, attending appointments, and monitoring for changes in their hearing and functional status were more likely to report greater satisfaction with the sound quality and performance of their hearing aids. Conclusion Study findings highlight the potential for using information about a patient's hearing loss self-management in different domains as part of clinical decision making and management planning.

Because of the increasing number of transgender people requesting speech-language pathology services, because having gender-incongruent voice and communication has major negative impacts on an individual's social participation and well-being, and because voice and communication training is supported by an improving evidence-base, it is becoming more common for universities to include transgender-specific theoretical and clinical components in their speech-language pathology programs. This paper describes the theoretical and clinical education provided to speech-language pathology students at La Trobe University in Australia, with a particular focus on the voice and communication training program offered by the La Trobe Communication Clinic. Further research is required to determine the outcomes of the clinic's training program in terms of student confidence and competence as well as the effectiveness of training for transgender clients.

Current research on feeding outcomes after discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) suggests a need to critically look at the early underpinnings of persistent feeding problems in extremely preterm infants. Concepts of dynamic systems theory and sensitive care-giving are used to describe the specialized needs of this fragile population related to the emergence of safe and successful feeding and swallowing. Focusing on the infant as a co-regulatory partner and embracing a framework of an infant-driven, versus volume-driven, feeding approach are highlighted as best supporting the preterm infant's developmental strivings and long-term well-being.
