This study is situated in the paradigms of positive organizational scholarship (POS) and positive organizational behaviour (POB). It draws upon the theoretical mechanisms of social learning and emotional contagion to suggest that psychological capital may spread through work teams to impact team outcomes such as performance, innovation, and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). The degree to which team psychological capital (TPsyCap) mediated the relationship between leader psychological capital (LPsyCap) and team outcomes was also tested (n = 94 teams; n = 94 leaders; n = 550 employees). Using structural equation modelling, LPsyCap and TPsyCap were both related to team-level organizational citizenship behavior, team performance, and team innovation. However, the relationship between LPsyCap and TPsyCap was not significant. These findings support the positioning of psychological capital as an important resource for optimal team functioning but also suggest that workplaces cannot expect that leaders, through their own psychological capital alone, can create team-level psychological capital. Instead, the current research suggests that other organizational initiatives and experiences are needed to enhance LPsyCap. The results contribute to a better understanding of POS and POB in general and, specifically, to the recently emerging construct of team psychological capital.
本研究以积极组织学术(POS)和积极组织行为(POB)为研究范式。它借鉴了社会学习和情绪传染的理论机制,表明心理资本可能通过工作团队传播,影响团队成果,如绩效、创新和组织公民行为(OCB)。团队心理资本(TPsyCap)在多大程度上调节了领导者心理资本(LPsyCap)与团队结果之间的关系(n=94个团队;n=94个领导者;n=550名员工)。使用结构方程模型,LPsyCap和TPsyCap都与团队层面的组织公民行为、团队绩效和团队创新有关。然而,LPsyCap和TPsyCap之间的关系并不显著。这些发现支持将心理资本定位为优化团队运作的重要资源,但也表明工作场所不能指望领导者仅通过自己的心理资本就能创造团队层面的心理资本。相反,目前的研究表明,需要其他组织举措和经验来增强LPsyCap。研究结果有助于更好地理解POS和POB,特别是最近出现的团队心理资本结构。

Compton and Hoffman’s third edition of Positive Psychology: The Science of Happiness and Flourishing is commended for advocating an inclusive positive psychology that not only honours the rich humanistic heritage and the major contributions from mainstream psychology, but also recognizes the two emerging trends within what has become known as PP 2.0. The first is the recognition that suffering and vulnerability provide the foundation for building a solid existential positive psychology of flourishing that can endure the inevitable vicissitudes of life. The second trend is the importance of indigenous positive psychology, especially Eastern psychological systems that offer viable insights and hypotheses about the nature of the self and ultimate happiness.
康普顿和霍夫曼的第三版《积极心理学:幸福与繁荣的科学》因倡导包容性的积极心理学而受到赞扬,该心理学不仅尊重丰富的人文遗产和主流心理学的重大贡献,而且承认了PP 2.0中的两种新兴趋势。首先是认识到,苦难和脆弱为建立一种牢固的生存积极的繁荣心理提供了基础,这种心理能够忍受不可避免的沧桑。第二个趋势是本土积极心理学的重要性,尤其是东方的心理系统,它们提供了关于自我本质和最终幸福的可行见解和假设。

The purpose of this study was to create and validate a sport-specific eudaimonic wellbeing measure (EWBSS; Eudaimonic Wellbeing in Sport Scale) and included three phases.  In Phase 1, an initial pool of 19 items was developed and five items were selected by five experts to represent eudaimonic wellbeing in sport (EWBSS).  Four hundred athletes (Mage = 24.32, SD = 6.69) from various individual and team sports participated in Phase 2.  Factorial validity and reliability scores were examined using confirmatory factor analysis and alpha coefficient calculations.  Results indicated initial evidence for both factorial validity and internal consistency of the EWBSS.  In Phase 3, further psychometric testing of the EWBSS with two independent samples (i.e., competitive and recreational athletes) ensued.  The findings provided further evidence of sound validity and reliability scores of the EWBSS in competitive athletes.  Partial support for the psychometric properties of the EWBSS was provided in recreational athletes.  As the validation of an instrument is an ongoing process, more research is needed to further evaluate the validity of the EWBSS.
本研究的目的是创建和验证一种特定于运动的eudaimonic幸福感测量(EWBSS;运动量表中的Eudaimanic幸福感),包括三个阶段。在第一阶段,开发了一个由19个项目组成的初始库,五位专家选择了五个项目来代表体育运动中的日常健康(EWBSS)。来自不同个人和团队项目的400名运动员(Mage=24.32,SD=6.69)参加了第二阶段的比赛。使用验证性因素分析和α系数计算来检验因子有效性和可靠性得分。结果表明EWBSS的因子有效性和内部一致性都有初步证据。在第3阶段,随后对EWBSS进行了进一步的心理测量测试,使用了两个独立的样本(即竞技和娱乐运动员)。研究结果为EWBSS在竞技运动员中的良好有效性和可靠性得分提供了进一步的证据。娱乐运动员对EWBSS的心理测量特性提供了部分支持。由于仪器的验证是一个持续的过程,需要更多的研究来进一步评估EWBSS的有效性。

The biological standard of living in early South Korea: Physical well-being based on body mass indices, 1940s to 1950s 韩国早期的生物生活水平:20世纪40年代至50年代基于体重指数的身体健康
Q1 Economics, Econometrics and Finance Pub Date : 2020-01-31 DOI: 10.5502/IJW.V10I1.764

This study fills a gap in the literature on the physical well-being of humans by employing BMI measurements of 89 Koreans measured from the early 1940s to mid-1950s. This period is of special historical concern since it coincides with the end of World War II, during which Japan utilized the Korean peninsula as a supply base for its war efforts, the disruptive American occupation period of Korea (1945-1948), the destructive Korean War (1950-1953), and the chaotic early years after the war. This study draws on records of employees from a large Korean bank. BMI values were lower in the latter period, indicating that living standards must have declined after the Korean War. While the war destroyed Korea’s economy, relief aid prevented a total collapse during war times. However, international massive grain programs such as PL 480 had not yet been implemented in the mid-1950s, leaving people vulnerable directly after the war. Anthropometric comparisons with historical populations in the United States as well as with pre-modern to contemporary Koreans are made in a latter section of this paper.
这项研究利用20世纪40年代初至50年代中期对89名韩国人进行的BMI测量,填补了有关人类身体健康的文献空白。这一时期具有特殊的历史意义,因为它恰逢第二次世界大战结束,当时日本利用朝鲜半岛作为其战争努力的补给基地,美国对朝鲜的破坏性占领时期(1945-1948),破坏性的朝鲜战争(1950-1953),以及战后混乱的早年。这项研究借鉴了韩国一家大型银行的员工记录。后期BMI值较低,这表明朝鲜战争后生活水平一定有所下降。虽然战争摧毁了韩国的经济,但救援援助阻止了战争时期的全面崩溃。然而,像PL 480这样的国际大规模粮食计划在20世纪50年代中期还没有实施,这使得人们在战后直接处于弱势。本文的后半部分将与美国历史人口以及前现代到当代韩国人进行人体测量学比较。

The youth wellbeing literature draws upon the fields of Positive Education, Positive Youth Development, Social and Emotional Learning, Coaching and Mentoring Psychology and Quality of Life, collectively referred to as the Youth Wellbeing Fives (YWB Fives). Despite their individual efforts to promote mental health and address mental health issues, no study to date has explored their collective contributions (intersections) towards this goal, nor has a framework been developed to understand the benefits of collaboration between youth wellbeing scholars from different fields. This paper develops a framework for promoting the cross-disciplinary study of youth wellbeing, and critically reviews the contributions of individual and collective YWB Fives to enhancing the wellbeing of young people. Given their complementary approaches and combined influence on successful interventions, we illuminate possibilities for intersections to exist among the YWB Fives. Insights gained have various research and practical applications; these include providing a rationale for future youth studies to empirically measure intersections among the YWB Fives, and encouraging the development, delivery and evaluation of cross-disciplinary interventions to ensure widespread access to wellbeing services by all young people.
青年幸福文学借鉴了积极教育、积极青年发展、社会和情感学习、辅导和辅导心理学以及生活质量等领域,统称为青年幸福五代(YWB Fives)。尽管他们各自努力促进心理健康和解决心理健康问题,但迄今为止,没有任何研究探讨他们对这一目标的集体贡献(交叉点),也没有制定一个框架来了解来自不同领域的青年福祉学者之间合作的好处。本文制定了一个促进青年福祉跨学科研究的框架,并批判性地回顾了基督教女青年会五个成员个人和集体对提高青年福祉的贡献。考虑到他们的互补方法和对成功干预的综合影响,我们阐明了YWB五人之间存在交叉点的可能性。所获得的见解具有各种研究和实际应用;这些措施包括为未来的青年研究提供依据,以实证衡量基督教青年会五代人之间的交叉点,并鼓励制定、实施和评估跨学科干预措施,以确保所有青年人都能广泛获得福利服务。

Meaning interventions in schools: Strategies for supporting healthy development and wellbeing in the lives of youth 对学校的意义干预:支持青年健康发展和幸福生活的战略
Q1 Economics, Econometrics and Finance Pub Date : 2019-09-25 DOI: 10.5502/IJW.V9I4.983

Human beings inherently make meaning of the world, interpreting themselves in context and utilizing these representations to determine what to think, how to feel, and in what way to act. Developing meaning in life appears to be a highly nuanced, personal journey and yet, research suggests that those who experience their lives as meaningful enjoy multiple physical and psychological benefits and are protected from various health risks. Beyond establishing a firm sense that life is meaningful, studies suggest that people of all ages who can ‘make meaning’ of their experiences, especially difficult experiences, may be protected from developing some mental and physical health concerns. Childhood and adolescence may be pivotal periods for the development of this well-being resource, and school offers an especially promising context for fostering meaning. Yet, there have been few articles that have explored how meaning and meaning-making can be woven into the school day. The current article attempts to address this gap in the literature by defining meaning and meaning-making, discussing the relevance of meaning from a developmental framework, and offering suggestions for applications for teachers and providers during the school day.
人类天生就对世界有意义,在上下文中解释自己,并利用这些表征来决定该思考什么、如何感受以及以何种方式行动。发展生活的意义似乎是一个非常微妙的个人旅程,然而,研究表明,那些将自己的生活体验为有意义的人可以享受多种身体和心理益处,并免受各种健康风险的影响。除了建立一种坚定的生活有意义的感觉外,研究表明,所有年龄段的人,如果能够“理解”自己的经历,特别是困难的经历,可能会受到保护,避免产生一些心理和身体健康问题。儿童和青少年可能是开发这种幸福资源的关键时期,学校为培养意义提供了一个特别有希望的环境。然而,很少有文章探讨如何将意义和意义创造融入学校生活。本文试图通过定义意义和意义形成,从发展框架讨论意义的相关性,并为教师和提供者在上学期间的申请提供建议,来解决文献中的这一差距。

Beyond resilience to thriving: Optimizing child wellbeing 超越韧性,走向繁荣:优化儿童福祉
Q1 Economics, Econometrics and Finance Pub Date : 2019-09-25 DOI: 10.5502/IJW.V9I4.987

Research in child wellbeing often assesses the effects of particular disadvantages or focuses on children’s resilience in adverse circumstances. In contrast, considering developmental optimization in early childhood, and what is necessary to foster it, informs the study of child wellbeing in the socioemotional domain. In the program of research reviewed here, we consider the kinds of early experiences that promote wellbeing, defined as optimal physiological and emotional regulation that enables a flexible sociomoral orientation to others. This work suggests that practices consistent with the evolved developmental niche (EDN), or the developmental system that likely characterized human caregiving over the course of evolution, facilitate development of the physiological and psychological systems of regulation that enable optimal wellbeing in the domain of sociomoral functioning. Aspects of EDN-consistent care provide a cohesive environmental context for development, but different facets of such care correspond to different outcomes related to socioemotional development. Overall, parental positive attitudes toward and provision of EDN-consistent care are associated with an orientation toward others that is prosocial, flexible, and engaged. These findings have emerged in samples in the US, Europe, and China, and suggest that the EDN might provide a useful framework for conceptualizing developmental optimization, for consideration of the important facets of early childhood care and education, and for fostering child wellbeing.
儿童福利研究通常评估特定不利条件的影响,或关注儿童在不利环境中的适应能力。相比之下,考虑儿童早期的发展优化,以及培养它的必要条件,为社会情感领域的儿童健康研究提供了信息。在这里回顾的研究项目中,我们考虑了促进幸福的各种早期经历,定义为最佳的生理和情绪调节,使其能够灵活地向他人提供社会道德取向。这项研究表明,与进化的发育生态位(EDN)相一致的做法,或在进化过程中可能以人类护理为特征的发育系统,促进了生理和心理调节系统的发展,从而在社会道德功能领域实现了最佳福祉。edn一致护理的各个方面为发展提供了一个有凝聚力的环境背景,但这种护理的不同方面对应于与社会情感发展相关的不同结果。总体而言,父母对edn一致关怀的积极态度与对他人亲社会、灵活和参与的取向有关。这些发现已经在美国、欧洲和中国的样本中出现,并表明EDN可能为概念化发展优化、考虑幼儿保育和教育的重要方面以及促进儿童福祉提供有用的框架。

These findings have emerged in samples in the US, Europe, and China, and suggest that the EDN might provide a useful framework for conceptualizing developmental optimization, for consideration of the important facets of early childhood care and education, and for fostering child wellbeing.","PeriodicalId":36390,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Wellbeing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5502/IJW.V9I4.987","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48032236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research investigated New Zealand adolescents’ (aged 11 to 13, N = 361) perceptions of wellbeing from a prototype perspective. Specifically, three studies examined what constitutes and promotes wellbeing, whether adolescents’ perspectives are aligned with adults’ conceptualizations and academic models of wellbeing, whether socioeconomic status influences adolescents’ conceptualization, and whether wellbeing is prototypically organized. Results showed that wellbeing is prototypically organized as some components are more central to the concept of wellbeing and others more peripheral. Contrary to lay adults’ conceptualizations and popular wellbeing models, adolescents consider enjoyment/having fun, feeling safe, and being kind/helpful as central components of wellbeing, and sense of satisfaction as a peripheral component of wellbeing. Furthermore, low socio-economic status adolescents consider comfort/being wealthy, being focused, good physical health, good values, and success/achievements as more central for wellbeing than high-socioeconomic status adolescents. Consistent with the current literature, positive family relationships, positive friendships, and physical activity/sport were the most frequently reported pathways to wellbeing among adolescents. Overall, researchers and practitioners should consider adolescents’ understanding of wellbeing in the development of wellbeing assessments and interventions.
这项研究从原型的角度调查了新西兰青少年(11至13岁,N=361)的幸福感。具体而言,三项研究考察了什么构成和促进幸福感,青少年的观点是否与成年人的幸福感概念化和学术模型一致,社会经济地位是否影响青少年的幸福感,以及幸福感是否是典型的组织。结果表明,幸福感是典型的组织形式,因为一些组成部分对幸福感的概念更为核心,而另一些则更为次要。与普通成年人的概念化和流行的幸福模式相反,青少年认为快乐/享受乐趣、安全感和善良/乐于助人是幸福的核心组成部分,而满足感是幸福的外围组成部分。此外,与社会经济地位高的青少年相比,社会经济地位低的青少年认为舒适/富有、专注、良好的身体健康、良好的价值观和成功/成就对幸福感更为重要。与目前的文献一致,积极的家庭关系、积极的友谊和体育活动是青少年最常被报道的幸福途径。总体而言,研究人员和从业者在制定健康评估和干预措施时,应考虑青少年对健康的理解。
