Positive psychological traits predict future sleep quality and quantity
OBJECTIVE: Mindfulness, self-compassion, gratitude, and optimism have each been associated with better sleep quality and quantity; however, their collective and relative contributions to future sleep outcomes remain unexplored. The current study therefore investigated whether baseline levels of these positive psychological traits could predict subsequent sleep quality and quantity. In addition, emotion regulation was examined as a potential commo…
Is part-time work a demotivating factor for applying to high-status UK universities
Research suggests that anticipating having a part-time job while at university could impact students’ university choice. The specific mechanisms through which this effect occurs are underexplored, which is why we examine whether anticipatory social (e.g., the percentage of employed students at university), economic (i.e., anticipated money struggles), and academic (i.e., anticipated academic struggles) considerations related to part-time employme…
Discipline identification, identity incompatibility, belonging and their association with deep approaches to learning and academic self-efficacy during Covid-19 in the UK
Previous research indicates that discipline identification — the level of integration of one’s discipline of study into the self-concept — is associated with deep approaches to learning and academic self-efficacy. However, it is not known whether these relationships would hold in the context of learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The present study investigates this, as well as exploring whether belonging, identity incompatibility, and virtual …
Individual differences in spontaneous self-affirmation predict well-being
The present research examines the relationship between individual differences in the extent to which people report self-affirming when faced with a threat (spontaneous self-affirmation) and well-being. Across three studies (total N = 515), spontaneous self-affirmation consistently emerged as a significant linear predictor of hedonic and eudaimonic well-being outcomes, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. A self-affirmation manipulation elim…
Self-affirmation improves self-control over snacking among participants low in eating self-efficacy
The effect of self‐identity alongside perceived importance within the theory of planned behaviour
Self‐identity often predicts behavioural intentions after standard theory of planned behaviour ( TPB ) components are accounted for. However, it has been claimed this is due to conceptual similarity between self‐identity and perceived importance of the behaviour. We examined this claim within the context of recycling food waste. Participants ( N = 113) completed questionnaires assessing intentions, attitude, perceived behavioural control, perceiv…
Predicting household food waste reduction using an extended theory of planned behaviour
Identifying motivations and barriers to minimising household food waste
Promoting or Jeopardizing Lighter Carbon Footprints? Self-Affirmation Can Polarize Environmental Orientations
Research has shown that self-affirmation often leads to more adaptive responses to messages that focus on behavior-specific, individual threats. However, little is known about the effects of self-affirmation in the context of an ongoing collective threat, such as climate change. In the study reported here ( N = 90), the authors examined whether self-affirmation might polarize orientations toward environment-related actions when people rely on the…
Applying Leventhal’s self-regulatory model to pregnancy
This study explored whether women’s beliefs about, and emotional responses to, pregnancy could account for variations in maternal mental and physical health outcomes, using the self-regulatory model as a theoretical framework. Women in the last trimester of pregnancy ( N = 408) completed an online survey including measures of representations of pregnancy, coping, and physical and mental health. Results revealed that representations of pregnancy a…
Gender differences in undergraduate attendance rates
Research on students' attendance rates has focused mainly on the effects of personality variables and cognitive ability, rather than on the impact on degree outcomes. More specifically, there is scant information relating to the question of whether male and female undergraduate students have differential practices in relation to attendance, whether any such differences are significant or not in terms of eventual outcomes for undergraduates, and o…
The relationship between perceptions of pre‐menstrual syndrome and degree performance
This paper explores whether female undergraduates’ self‐reported experiences of pre‐menstrual syndrome (PMS) were associated with degree performance, operationalized as degree class outcome, in a sample of ‘high achieving’ students (N = 55). Students reported that PMS was disruptive to academic work (comprising lectures, seminars, writing essays, reading, examinations and interviews) but no association was found between degree performance and eit…
Emotion and adherence to treatment in people with asthma
This study explored whether an emotional Stroop paradigm might represent an appropriate means of assessing individuals' emotional representations of asthma. In addition, the opportunity was taken to investigate whether emotional representations of asthma, as assessed by this method, were associated with adherence to inhaled preventative medication. An asthma Stroop task was devised which comprised three sets of stimuli: asthma symptom words, gene…
