  • Psychometric validation of the self-compassion scale and the link of self-compassion to managerial flourishing in South Africa

    Open AccessMari Ford, Sebastiaan Rothmann et al.ARTICLEBMC Psychology2025

    Neff's self-compassion scale is valid and reliable and should be retained in its original form. Self-compassion is closely linked with managers' flourishing and should be included in all management development programs to improve well-being. This may be an essential way to promote flourishing in organizations

  • The study demands and resources scale

    Open AccessLlewellyn Ellardus Van Zyl, Rébecca Shankland et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2024

    The Study Demands and Resources Scale (SDRS) has shown promise as a valid and reliable measure for measuring students’ specific study demands and -resources. However, there is no evidence as to its psychometric properties outside of the original context in which it was developed. This study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the SDRS in a cross-national student population through examining its longitudinal factorial validity, internal…

  • The academic task performance scale

    Open AccessLlewellyn Ellardus Van Zyl, Jeffrey Klibert et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2024

    Academic task performance (TP) refers to the proficiency with which students perform in academic tasks through making the right choices and completing core tasks central to their academic studies, on time and to specification. We adapted Koopmans et al.’s task performance scale (TPS) for use within tertiary education and investigated its psychometric properties, internal consistency and measurement invariance across age, gender and national group…

  • What matters more for daily well- and ill-being? The dual pathways of daily need satisfaction and frustration

    Open AccessLynelle Coxen, Leoni Van Der Vaart et al.ARTICLECurrent Psychology2023

  • Intergroup contact is reliably associated with reduced prejudice, even in the face of group threat and discrimination

    Jasper Van Assche, Hermann Swart et al.ARTICLEAmerican Psychologist2023Citada por: 32Referencias: 5

    Intergroup contact provides a reliable means of reducing prejudice. Yet, critics suggested that its efficacy is undermined, even eliminated, under certain conditions. Specifically, contact may be ineffective in the face of threat, especially to (historically) advantaged groups, and discrimination, experienced especially by (historically) disadvantaged groups. We considered perceived intergroup threat and perceived discrimination as potential mode…

  • Motivational Profiles in Unemployment

    Open AccessLeoni Van Der Vaart, Anja Van Den Broeck et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    In general, being unemployed has negative implications for the individual and the mental health of the public as a collective. One way to escape this situation is to search for a job. However, following self-determination theory (SDT), unemployed people's different reasons (i.e., their motivation) for engaging in a job search influence their well-being, attitudes, and behaviors for better or worse. Some research has already supported the associat…

  • Grit Across Nations

    Open AccessLlewellyn Ellardus Van Zyl, Babet Heijenk et al.ARTICLEJournal of Happiness Studies2022

    Despite its popularity in practice, the Grit-O Scale has shown inconsistent factorial structures and differing levels of internal consistency in samples outside the USA. The validity of the Grit-O Scale in different contexts is, therefore, questionable. As such, the purpose of this paper was to determine whether the Grit-O Scale could be used as a valid and reliable measure to compare grit across different nations. Specifically, the aim was to in…

  • Differential Adaptation to Adversity

    Open AccessL Theron, Sebastiaan Rothmann et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cross-Cultural…2022

    Using person-centered latent profile analyses, this article reports two distinct sub-groups—nominal versus robust cultural allegiance—that characterize how a sample of 14- to 24-year-olds from stressed environments in South Africa ( n = 576, n females = 314, n males = 257) and Canada ( n =V481; n females = 270, n males = 211) engage with four cultural resources (spirituality, religiosity, family tradition, and community tradition). It considers h…

  • Profiling the unemployed from selected communities in South Africa based on their experiences, commitment to employment, and job search behaviour

    Open AccessIvan Putter, Leoni Van Der Vaart et al.ARTICLESouth African Journal of Psychology2021Referencias: 26

    Unemployment has negative consequences for individuals’ psychological well-being. Consequently, interventions should be designed and implemented to alleviate the psychological burden of unemployment. The design of these interventions should, however, be approached with care, as ‘the unemployed’ may not be a homogeneous group. The aim of the study was to determine whether the four already identified (the optimists, the desperate, the discouraged, …

  • Investigating the relation among disturbed sleep due to social media use, school burnout, and academic performance

    Open AccessKaterina Evers, Sufen Chen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Adolescence2020

    INTRODUCTION: Previous studies have revealed the significant influence of electronic devices, especially social media use, on sleep difficulties among adolescents. In this study, disturbed sleep due to social media use (DSSM) was defined as reduced or troubled sleep caused by nighttime-specific behaviors such as waking to check updates, being notified by incoming messages, or postponed bedtime because of social media activities.

  • Cultural, National,and Individual Diversity and their Relationship to the Experience of Meaningful Work

    Sebastiaan Rothmann, Laura Wei et al.CHAPTEROxford Handbook of Meaningful Work2019

    This chapter explores cultural, national, and individual diversity, and their relationships with meaningful work. Most studies relevant to meaningful work have originated in Western cultures and developed countries. Few studies have focused on the relationship between cultural and national diversity and meaningful work. The study of relationships between meaningful work, values, and organizational practices on individual, organizational, and nati…

  • Experiences, Attitudes, and Behaviors of the Unemployed

    Open AccessLeoni Van Der Vaart, Anja Van Den Broeck et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports2019

    Alleviating the psychological burden of unemployment and preventing the unemployed from withdrawing from the labor market remains a priority for unemployment researchers and practitioners alike. Job search motivation and the differential relationships with experienced psychological need satisfaction (and need frustration) potentially induce different well-being (i.e., experiences), attitudinal outcomes (i.e., employment commitment), and behaviora…

  • Hope, religiosity, and subjective well-being

    Werner Nell, Sebastiaan RothmannARTICLEJournal of Psychology in Africa2018

    This study explored the relationship between religiosity, hope, and subjective well-being among 430 South African university students (n = 324) and their family members (n = 104) (70.2% female; 88.4% black; 8.4% white).
