Abstract This study aimed to develop a tool to assess resilience in children and youth in Indonesia holistically. We used the Indonesian adaptation of the Child and Youth Resilience Measure-Revised (CYRM-R). We extended it to include domains of spirituality and religiosity, which are important protective factors for young people in Indonesia. Following focus group discussions with Indonesian children and youth, 26 items were developed and tested with students aged 10–18 years (N = 5,504, 63.5% female, 98% Muslim). Exploratory factor analysis produced a two-factor 12-item model. This was then validated together with the CYRM-R using confirmatory factor analysis, which involved invariance tests with sex, age, religion, and school groups. Further analyses confirmed the convergent and incremental validity of the extended measure (correlating and predicting measures of well-being, respectively), and tests of internal consistency also found that each subscale of the extended measure had a high level of reliability. This expanded version of the CYRM-R, which now includes subscales assessing spirituality and religiosity, works well for measuring important protective factors implicated in the resilience of children and youth in Indonesia. We named this expanded measure the “CYRM-R Plus Spirituality and Religiosity”.

Abstract Models of substance use disorders and more recently pathological gambling underscore stress-relief in maintenance of addictive behaviors. This study examines emotion regulation difficulties as predictors of gambling severity in a community sample with and without substance use disorder symptomatology, hypothesizing that more emotion regulation difficulties, and particularly the reliance on avoidance, would be associated with greater addiction severity both for substances and gambling. Adults regular gamblers were recruited using social media advertising for a survey on emotion regulation, gambling, and substance use. As expected, substance use and gambling showed high co-occurrence. Emotion regulation difficulties predicted severity of gambling but not alcohol use symptoms, although correlations were significant for both disorders. Participants with gambling only and comorbid gambling and substance use showed the greatest reliance on emotional non-acceptance and non-awareness. Poor emotion regulation and avoidance of emotional awareness may contribute to the maintenance of addictions, especially gambling pathology. Improvement of emotional awareness, expression, and acceptance may provide a pathway for reducing such behaviors.

Abstract Spirituality is often significant for those undergoing suicide bereavement. Our study aimed to explore how women, who are bereaved by their partner’s suicide, describe spirituality. 11 semi-structured interviews have been conducted with female participants using reflexive thematic analysis. Six themes were identified: Spirituality as a resource, Spirituality as a relationship; Spirituality is universal; Spirituality is a changing phenomenon; Spirituality requires effort; Spirituality is between knowing, sensation, and feeling. Female participants who experience bereavement following a partner’s suicide described their understanding of spirituality as a multidimensional phenomenon. Interpretations and practical guidelines are formed.

Abstract Recent research has suggested self-efficacy measures (i.e., I can) are confounded with motivation (i.e., I will). The study tested whether two measurement conditions can disentangle motivation from self-efficacy in relation to alcohol consumption. Specifically, the study compared a standard self-efficacy measurement condition with a motivation held constant (i.e., including “If I really wanted to” in self-efficacy measures) and a vignette condition (i.e., clarifying the definition of “can” before self-efficacy measurements). A randomized posttest-only design was used. A sample of 259 university students were allocated to one of three conditions (standard; motivation held constant; vignette) and completed measures of self-efficacy and alcohol consumption. Greater self-efficacy towards both consuming and refraining from alcohol was found in the vignette (d = 0.58 & 0.74) and motivation held constant (d = 0.34 & 0.58) conditions. Heavy drinkers in the vignette (d = 1.48) and motivation held constant (d = 0.93) conditions reported greater self-efficacy for refraining from alcohol than the standard condition. Self-efficacy towards refraining from alcohol in the standard condition (r = −.55) was more highly correlated with alcohol behaviour than self-efficacy in the vignette condition (r = −.06). The study adds to the evidence that standard measures of self-efficacy are confounded with motivation. Providing a vignette clarifying the meaning of self-efficacy and including “If I really wanted to” in self-efficacy measures can overcome self-efficacy confounding.

Abstract Patients’ expectations of cancer treatment could impact on their treatment experiences. Research in this area tends to focus on a particular aspect of expectations, and no suitable measure exists to explore patients’ expectations and experiences of treatment. The current study developed and validated two new, matched, measures: The Expectations of Cancer Treatment Questionnaire (EXPECT-CTQ) and the Experiences of Cancer Treatment (EXPER-CTQ). Items were generated using the previous expectations literature, alongside findings from qualitative interviews, and refined with assistance from cancer patients and a wider pool of researchers. A sample of 200 cancer patients completed the measures, and factor analysis was performed to validate the EXPECT-CTQ, resulting in a 39-item measure with subscales assessing treatment efficacy, physical side-effects, psychological side-effects, and the impact of treatment on daily life, social life and self-care. The EXPER-CTQ was matched to the EXPECT-CTQ, excluding the treatment efficacy subscale, resulting in a 36-item measure. Reliability analyses were conducted on both measures with good results (α > 0.6). Analyses of the expectations-experiences relationship encompassing a broad range of expectations showed that expectations are positively associated with experiences of cancer treatment. These two new measures are suitable for use in future research exploring both expectations and experiences of treatment for cancer and the implications of gaps between these constructs.

Abstract Over the last several decades, the attention of scholars in the field of leadership in higher education (HE) has been rapidly growing. A corpus of literature on leadership research has established how leadership styles affect institutional performance, organizational commitment, culture, employees’ motivation, effectiveness, retention, and job satisfaction. Although a considerable amount of research on how leadership is related to employees’ job satisfaction across literature exists, however, little research has studied the influence of academics’ perceived leadership styles on their job satisfaction in African countries and particularly in Tanzania. Drawing from Bass and Avolio’s (1994) Full Range Leadership Theory (FRLT) and Herzberg’s two-factor theory, the present study examined the association between academics’ perceived leadership styles employed by either their deans or head of departments on their job satisfaction as measured by the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ). The study was quantitatively driven with a cross-sectional survey design. A convenient sample of academics (N = 411) of which (Men: N = 310, Women: N = 101) from four Tanzanian universities responded to a Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ-5x short) and MSQ. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis was performed by using SPSS version 25 to detect significant predictors of academics’ job satisfaction. Results demonstrated that both perceived transformational and transactional leadership styles statistically significantly related to academics’ job satisfaction over and above their marital status, gender, age, academic rank, and institutional type. While the study has both practical and policy implications, it situates these findings into a broader management and governance literature of higher education leadership.

Abstract The main objective of the study was to investigate changes in mental health symptoms from the start of the pandemic in Norway (April) to December 2020. A total of 6017 participants completed an assessment of the survey at both time points. Main Outcome Measures: Symptoms of anxiety and depression were measured at both time points. Demographic variables and potential risk factors were assessed. There were significant changes (slight increase) in anxiety and depression, but effect sizes were small. Increases in symptoms in anxiety and depression occurred more in the general population than for people with pre-existing mental health problems. Baseline level of symptoms was the most important risk factor. Other significant risk factors included female sex, students, pre-existing mental health problems, increased tobacco use, lost job, and lacking government trust. The longitudinal results replicated findings from the first phase of the pandemic, suggesting that the number of risk factors experienced is associated with symptom severity. The results suggest that mental health symptoms have been quite stable from April to December but with a slight increase among people presenting with subclinical symptoms in April. The study obtained ethical approval from the Regional Committee for Medical and Health Research (REK Nord, 123,324).

Abstract To improve patient safety in obstetrics, patients should perform safe communication. However, there is a lack of attempts in targeting expectant mothers. Behaviour change theories can potentially be applied to safe communication behaviour to understand and target contributing factors. The objective of this study was to apply the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) to obstetric patients’ safe communication behaviour to understand underlying mechanisms of social-cognitive HAPA variables. N = 424 expectant mothers from two university hospitals participated in a cross-sectional survey which was the baseline of a larger randomized controlled trial. The proposed HAPA model with iterative theory-driven extensions were fitted to the data via path modelling. Fit indices were compared. Post-hoc analyses asserted sufficient statistical power. An adapted HAPA model fitted the data best. The adaptation concerned two sequential mediation pathways: The association of intention and safe communication behaviour was mediated by coping self-efficacy and via social support and action planning. Congruent with theory, intention and action planning, mediated by social support and coping self-efficacy, emerged as core factors contributing to safe communication behaviour. The HAPA model can be applied to safe communication behaviour in obstetric patients. Hence, future interventions to enhance expectant mothers’ safe communication should be based on behaviour change theories like the hereby tested HAPA model.

Abstract Individual well-being is generally thought of from the perspective of the risk factors which might compromise it. Assuming that positive dimensions of well-being are also worth considering, VanderWeele and Wȩziak-Białowolska et al. developed and tested the Flourish Index (FI) and the Secure Flourish Index (SFI). These 10- and 12-item questionnaires, respectively, measure 5 and 6 dimensions of human flourishing. This article presents the translation of these indexes into French (as FI–F and SFI–F) and the assessment of their psychometric properties on a sample of 2,376 French-speaking respondents. The validity and reliability indicators used by Wȩziak-Białowolska et al. were calculated for our French indexes and found to be very close to theirs. Item groupings were confirmed using correlation and factor analyses. The hierarchical structure of both French indexes matched the English indexes’ second-order and bi-factor model analyses. Reliability and construct validity were good. The brief time required to complete the FI–F or SFI–F and their excellent psychometric properties make them very promising tools for research on the general well-being of Francophone populations.

The brief time required to complete the FI–F or SFI–F and their excellent psychometric properties make them very promising tools for research on the general well-being of Francophone populations.","PeriodicalId":46323,"journal":{"name":"Cogent Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43114304","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}

Abstract The exceptional circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 closures of campuses and emergency online learning have caused challenging circumstances on preserving academic integrity. Still, little is known about how the interplay between diverse contextual and psychological determinants influences beliefs and inclinations to plagiarism during online learning. The current study aims to understand better multiple factors that predict attitudes and intentions to commit plagiarism during and after the pandemic. To that end, an extended model based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) that examines the impact of socio-psychological, emotional, motivational, and ethical factors explaining plagiarism intentions was tested. The study applied a survey instrument to a sample of 435 undergraduate students from three universities in Oman. Using the Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the results showed that fear of COVID-19 significantly and positively impacted the plagiarism attitude. Academic self-efficacy significantly and negatively influenced attitudes to plagiarism. All TPB variables significantly influenced intention to plagiarize, including subjective norms, attitudes perceived behavioral control and past behavior, except moral obligation. The current study’s findings contributed to theory advancement by extending TPB to examining antecedents to subjective norms toward plagiarism and emotional and motivational determinants of attitudes. Finally, the current study recommends practical and research implications for curbing digital plagiarism in higher education post to the pandemic.
