Abstract The Schwartz theory of basic values is the leading model in psychological research. However, few studies qualitatively approach how people make sense of value types. We propose a way to investigate this by focusing on emerging adulthood, a developmental period of exploration. Furthermore, participants are situated in the context of Balkan societies that are characterized by transitions. Relying on personal construct theory, we explored potential interpretations of values, their subordinate constructs, diversity, valence, and similarity to the definitions proposed in the theory. We used pyramiding in order to prompt constructs subordinate to each of the ten values. We applied thematic analysis to identify subordinate constructs in the 5866 responses obtained from 281 participants. The results show that participants understand abstract values through constructs that refer to specific actions, feelings, and personality traits. The values varied in the number of subordinate constructs and the degree of their deviation from the conceptual definition. There are also differences in the connotations of values or their desirability. Results show that all values, except Universalism, have a subordinate construct that expresses the negative side of the value. This study offers a more contextualized and content-oriented approach to values and has implications for future studies.

Abstract Novice teachers working in primary school experience in their practice, impact the contemporary multicultural, knowledge-based society. This article aims to gain insight into novice teachers' retrospection on their actions, using the modes of Moral Involvement, based on a post-modern stand on morality and a dialogical narrative approach to teachers' moral meaning-making. The modes describe the “mixed moral atmosphere” as the congruities and incongruities between two perspectives, the “I” and the “Other” of the dialogical “Self.” Moral Involvement frames the reciprocity of influences of the workplace, the others and teachers' inner argumentation to balance self-interest, mutual interest and personal attachment to principles. Transcripts of interviews with novices in primary education were analyzed to categorize how novices reflect on their work and how they use different perspectives to explore their Moral Involvement. The results show that novice teachers mainly discuss their achievements from the I-position and use the Other-positions when elaborating on collaborating, alignments or uncertainty about their work. The conclusion is drawn that retrospection on moral issues during Teacher Education and workplace learning supports learning to deal with complex moral issues experienced in school practice.

Abstract In this inquiry I attempt to explore the lived experiences of drug resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) survivors reflecting upon what they went through while undergoing treatment. I employ Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) method owing to its hermeneutic inclination with four drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) survivors, conducting one-on-one in-depth interviews multiple times capturing their narratives. I specifically find Giorgi’s method of creating smaller meaning units from the transcribed data appealing and appropriate in reducing the data and to let themes emerge from them. Three major themes emerged out of combining the smaller meaning units, namely, “why me?”, “to involve or not”, and “incomprehensible future”. I reflect upon these co-created narratives and attempt to explicate the rich descriptions of the lived experiences of the participants in first-person narrative.

How political is our response to mental suffering? When that suffering has a political cause, can our response ever be apolitical? When is the treatment of suffering also a maintenance of its conditions of possibility? Dean Spade’s essential body of work, most recently Mutual Aid (2020), provides both a treatise on the necessity of care work for political transformation and a comprehensive practical guide to building the kinds of nonhierarchical organizations we wish to see in the world. It challenges us to accept both our relationality and our suffering, and to integrate our ethical views into an ongoing practice. “The false separation of politics and injustice from ordinary life,” he observes, “and the idea that activism is a kind of lifestyle accessory – is demobilizing to our movements, hides the root causes of injustice, and keeps us passive and complicit” (Spade, 2020, p. 27). This passivity and complicity is often reproduced in discourses of recovery, mental health, and criminal justice.

Abstract This paper introduces discourse analysis in psychotherapy research as it is performed namely within the context of solution-focused brief therapy. It has the character of an overview study with a closer emphasis on several examples from the solution-focused context in relation to Discourse Analysis in individual, couple, or family therapy. In this text, the authors introduce examples of contemporary research that deal with the role of formulations in psychotherapy and counseling; the therapist pursuing a therapeutic agenda; and the process of change, as well as the broader psychotherapeutic discourse.

Abstract Previous studies have demonstrated that nurses’ transition to academia is complex and influences the construction of their professional identity. The aim of this study was to analyze the construction of academic nurses’ identities within the framework of dialogical self theory, especially the internal positions they deployed and the main contradictions they faced during professional transitions. A qualitative multiple-case study was conducted and fieldwork was performed between September and December 2016. The participants were three academic nurses working at different Spanish universities. The nurses wrote narrative diaries for 4 months and three interviews were conducted before, during, and after the diary writing. The main tensions identified concerned their I-positions within the research and teaching spheres. Nursing research is still linked or subordinated to other professional contexts. In the teaching sphere, the main tensions involved the assessment process. Transitioning to the teaching sphere requires specialized training in research and teaching skills, as well as specific support to enable nurses to meet multiple challenges and foster their professional development. Thus, this study highlights the need to refocus future nurses’ training by reevaluating the academic field and the need for specific programs to enhance the transition from clinical practice to academia for future academic nurses.

Abstract Social-cognitive psychology assumes that personal and social identity are complex and dynamic in nature. According to motivated identity construction theory (MICT), people shape their identity to satisfy basic motivations for distinctiveness, continuity, self-esteem, belonging, efficacy and meaning. The level of motives satisfaction fluctuates and may change according to circumstances. Our experiment (N = 85) examined whether affirmation of one’s most important values increases satisfaction of identity motives. The results showed that self-affirmation strengthened the motivational basis of identity in two domains: meaning and efficacy. The interaction between self-affirmation and self-concept clarity did not predict motive satisfaction, but self-concept clarity predicted motive satisfaction independently of affirmation level.
