The aim of this study was to analyze changes in muscle activity between high and low self-critical participants during the imagery of self-compassion, self-protection, and self-criticism. Muscle activity was measured by the Biopac MP36 while participants were listening to the imagery audio recording. Levels of self-criticism were measured by The Forms of Self-Criticising/Attacking and Self-Reassuring Scale (FSCRS; Gilbert et al., 2004). From overall number of 110 participants, 30 participants were selected for further analysis based on their extreme level of self-criticism. The research sample consisted of 15 participants with high level of self-criticism and 15 with low level of self-criticism. The results showed that participants with higher levels of self-criticism had similar levels of muscle activity during the self-critical and self-protective phases of imagery. However, during the last self-compassionate imagery, participants with lower self-criticism returned to the baseline EMG levels, while those with higher self-criticism remained at high EMG levels. The results showed lower muscle activity in low self-critics while imagining inner compassionate part meaning. Therefore, low self-critics are probably better able to calm themselves down compared to high self-critics.
本研究的目的是分析高自我批评和低自我批评参与者在自我同情、自我保护和自我批评的想象过程中肌肉活动的变化。参与者一边听图像录音,一边用Biopac MP36测量肌肉活动。自我批评水平采用自我批评/攻击与自我安慰量表(FSCRS;Gilbert et al., 2004)。从总共110名参与者中,根据他们极端的自我批评程度,选择了30名参与者进行进一步分析。研究样本包括15名高水平自我批评参与者和15名低水平自我批评参与者。结果显示,自我批评水平较高的参与者在自我批评和自我保护阶段的肌肉活动水平相似。然而,在最后一次自我同情的想象中,自我批评程度较低的参与者回到了基线肌电水平,而那些自我批评程度较高的参与者则保持在高肌电水平。结果显示,当自我批评程度较低时,想象内心同情部分的意义时,肌肉活动较低。因此,低自我批评的人可能比高自我批评的人更能让自己冷静下来。

The current study proposes a mindfulness model of trait resilience through the mediating roles of positive affection and cognitive flexibility. The study’s participants comprised 204 adults (111 females, 93 males). The Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (Brown & Ryan, 2003), Positive Affect sub-test of Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (Watson, Clerk, & Tellegen, 1988), Cognitive Flexibility Scale (Martin & Rubin, 1995) and Brief Resilience Scale (Smith et al., 2008) were used as data collection instruments. The results of the path analysis showed that mindfulness has significantly positive relationships with positive affection and cognitive flexibility, while both positive affection and cognitive flexibility have significantly positive relationships with resilience. The proposed model formed was found to account for 17% of the variance in trait resilience scores of participants.

Previous studies have repeatedly demonstrated the attentional prioritization of emotional information over neutral information. However, the parsing of interference from negative and positive stimuli has not received the same attention. In the study reported here, we examined the effect of real-world visual scenes of neutral, positive, and negative valence, as well as the effect of both highand low-arousal (differentially categorized based on their arousal and valence ratings) on scene gist identification. Using a partial-report paradigm, participants were asked to report the gist of a post-cued scene from a briefly-presented array of four scenes. Scene gist identification performance was significantly higher for positive scenes, regardless of arousal, than for negative scenes. All emotional scenes, regardless of valence and arousal, interfered with reporting the gist of neutral scenes. The findings support the hypothesis that emotional scenes more often interfere with processing of neutral scenes and are selectively attended to during briefly-presented scene arrays. Moreover, the results suggest that the identification and the interference of positive, higharousal scenes are prioritized in visual information processing.

The public’s perceptions of the police are related to people’s willingness to obey the law and cooperate with law enforcement. Past research has found that demographics affect perceptions of the police. This study hypothesizes that those with a higher level of need for cognition and numeracy have more positive attitudes toward the police, possibly because they are more likely to recognize the importance and necessity of the police. 443 U.S. residents participated in this study. In addition to replicating the role of demographic variables, the study found that after controlling for demographics, perceptions of the police were positively related to need for cognition and subjective and objective numeracy. Overall, this study indicated that thinking disposition and cognitive ability play a significant role in how the public perceives the police.

The purpose of this study was twofold: 1) to translate the Revised and Short version of the Indebtedness Scale (ISR-S) into the Turkish language and to assess its psychometric properties, and 2) to use this scale to explore the relationship of indebtedness with gratitude, happiness, and life satisfaction in Turkish culture. Four data sets covering a total of 883 Turkish university students were used. Construct validity of the Turkish ISR-S was assessed by using confirmatory factor and multigroup invariance analyses, and Pearson correlation test between the measure of negative affect and the ISR-S. To examine the reliability of the scale, Cronbach’s coefficient alpha was used as an indicator of internal consistency, and also test-retest reliability computed over a period of four weeks. The results indicated that there is psychometric evidence for the unidimensional 9-item structure of the ISR-S in Turkish undergraduate students. Indebtedness was not found to be significantly correlated with gratitude, happiness and life satisfaction.

The current study focuses on exploring the 6-month test-retest stability of the Slovak second version of the Big Five Inventory (BFI-2) and its predictive power for subjective and psychological well-being, on value-focused behavior and everyday behavior. The sample consisted of 414 adult Slovak participants, who reported on their personalities using the BFI-2 on the first occasion, and then again circa 6 months later, along with well-being and behavior self-report measures focused on the past 6 months. The results showed a strong test-retest stability of the Slovak BFI-2’s domains and facets. The Slovak BFI-2 also showed the expected pattern of well-being predictions with Extraversion and Negative Emotionality domains as the strongest predictors. Furthermore, meaningful trait–behavior links of the Slovak BFI-2 were discovered. Overall, our results contribute to the robust international knowledge base regarding stability, predictive power and ecological validity of the Big Five personality factors.

A nationwide sample (N = 2201, aged 15-89) from the Czech Republic was administered the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI) along with demographic, social, and attitudinal questions to reveal developmental shifts in the Future, Present-Hedonistic, Present-Fatalistic, Positive-Past and Negative-Past dimensions. It turned out that age was not the only significant developmental factor (bivariate analyses were scrutinized by multiple linear regression, which yielded additional predictors for individual ZTPI dimensions, such as education, employment, marital status, health, political leaning, or religiousness; some were more significant than age). Latent class analysis (LCA) was then used to identify meaningful time perspective patterns, which corresponded to distinctly different developmental tasks and coping strategies: Hedonic pattern typical for the young (16%), Empowered pattern usual for mid-age adulthood (characterized by high future commitment along with low fatalism and low hedonism; 25%), and two patterns typical for aging – prevalently positive Moderate pattern (39%) and Past-Oriented Fatalism (20%). Predictors for LCA classes and ZTPI dimensions provide leads for fostering healthy time perspective.

Facebook addiction is a growing issue that has increasingly attracted the attention of clinicians and researchers in a variety of countries and cultures. Relying on the Cognitive-Behavioral Model for Pathological Internet Use, and in a sample of Turkish undergraduates, we investigate whether mindfulness might account for how self-esteem and psychological problems (depression, anxiety, and stress) connect to Facebook addiction. A total of 298 college students completed measures of Facebook addiction, self-esteem, mindfulness and psychological problems, which we analyzed using path analysis, testing various models of how Facebook addiction might be predicted by these factors. We found that Facebook addiction was positively associated with psychological problems and negatively associated with self-esteem and mindfulness, with mindfulness fully accounting for the association between psychological problems, self-esteem and Facebook addiction. These results support the role of mindfulness in the prevention of Facebook addiction and the treatment of addicted individuals. This study also helps clarify previous research connecting mindfulness to Internet addiction, and extends those findings cross-culturally to a Turkish context.
