ABSTRACT Assessment is a foundational part of counseling practice, which includes providing assessment feedback to those evaluated. Though millions of children are assessed yearly, there has been little research surrounding providing assessment feedback with children. In this study, the authors qualitatively explored children’s experiences with a developmentally appropriate feedback model based in creativity, the Young Children’s Assessment Feedback (YCAF). Participants included ten 6 to 10-year old children, who completed a battery of psychoeducational assessments and the YCAF process. Data sources included session transcriptions, session observation notes, child interviews, parent interviews, and expressive arts observation notes. To explore the perceptions regarding the YCAF, the authors utilized interpretative phenomenological analysis to understand the children’s feedback experiences. Findings included the themes: freedom for self-direction, self-concept, therapeutic relationship, affective responses of child, systemic shifts, and developmental considerations. Children in this study reported a variety of benefits and experiences surrounding receiving their own personalized, developmentally appropriate assessment feedback.

ABSTRACT Previous research has demonstrated positive associations between emotion regulation and creativity, between mindfulness and creativity, and between emotion regulation and mindfulness. The extent to which individual differences on emotion regulation, dispositional mindfulness, self-esteem, and flow state could predict self-reported creativity was explored in 147 British participants (mean age: 36.38, SD = 14.18) who completed the self-report study online. Emotion regulation, mindfulness, and self-esteem significantly predicted self-reported creativity, adjusted R 2 = .33, F(3,138) = 23.44, p < .001. Moreover, mindfulness significantly mediated the relationship between emotion regulation and self-reported creativity, with an indirect effect of −0.05, 95% CI[−0.106, −0.004]. Additionally, flow state correlated significantly with self-reported creativity, Pearson’s r = .30, p < .01. Implications for well-being and clinical practice are discussed.

ABSTRACT Humor and laughter have long been considered psychologically beneficial; however, the use of humor in counseling remains controversial. There is a scarcity of empirical studies on the topic, while available studies have yielded conflicting results. A content analysis of 39 video-recorded counseling sessions was conducted to examine the frequency and features of humor. Quantitative results showed that laughter was present in all 39 sessions. Both clients and counselors were shown to initiate humor with similar frequency. However, clients laughed significantly more than counselors. Qualitative results illustrated some documented psychological functions of humor in counseling. The omnipresence of humor and laughter in the dataset and associated benefits and risks, highlights the need for intentional use in counseling, informed by empirical research.

ABSTRACT We examined the mediating role of creative mind-sets in the relationship between filial piety beliefs and children’s psychological adjustment in the context of Chinese culture. In the current study, we adopt structural equation modeling to address this gap. A total of 657 Taiwanese young adults (M age = 16.86 years) were recruited in a survey for the study. The analysis yielded the following results. First, reciprocal filial piety (RFP) belief was linked to a malleable creative mind-set, whereas authoritarian filial piety (AFP) belief was positively associated with a fixed creative mind-set. Second, endorsement of a malleable creative mind-set had nonsignificant associations with any dimension of psychological adjustment, while a fixed creative mind-set contributed negatively to life satisfaction and positively to psychological distress. Third, a fixed creative mind-set, but not a malleable mind-set, mediated the relationship between filial piety beliefs and psychological distress involving social dysfunction and anxiety/depression.

ABSTRACT In this conceptual article, the authors explore the pedagogical potential of the film Fruitvale Station as a tool in multicultural counselor education. Discussed are several scenes from the film which illuminate intersectional and social justice issues that impact the lived experiences of communities of color. Considerations for designing and introducing learning activities for Fruitvale Station and facilitating difficult dialogs are incorporated. Lastly, the authors provide two sample experiential learning activities that could be utilized to promote CITs’ ability to engage in personal reflection and introspection about their privileged or marginalized status, as well enhance their critical conceptualization skills.
