Mindfulness, Decentering, and Mother–Child Relationships in Covid-19 Lockdown
Back to Basics
This study examines trends in self‐reported tiredness and hunger among 4th grade students in the Nordic countries between 2016 and 2023, using data from PIRLS and TIMSS. Results show a significant increase in the proportion of students who frequently arrive at school feeling tired or hungry, with tiredness reported by 38%–52% of students and hunger by 27%–30% in 2023. Multilevel analyses reveal that students who are often tired/hungry report sign…
Teachers' Dispositional Mindfulness and Well‐Being and Their Connection to Decentering and Teacher–Student Relationships
This longitudinal, two‐wave study builds on the mindful self in school relationships (MSSR) model, examining the link between dispositional mindfulness and teacher well‐being over time, and the roles of decentering and teacher–student relationships (TSRs) as potential mediators. It posits that dispositional mindfulness facilitates a reduction in self‐centered psychological processing that hampers well‐being while promoting teachers' ability to cr…
Women’s avoidant attachment, conflict solving, and relationship satisfaction through individualism and masculinity
The utilization of specific strategies to manage couple conflict has a differential impact on women’s relationship satisfaction. However, considering that women’s role within couple relationship is shaped by societal norms, such association should be examined by embracing a cross-cultural perspective. Thus, the objective of this study is to analyze the effect of individualism/collectivism and masculinity/femininity cultural values on avoidant att…
Character Strengths’ Change During Covid-19
The effects of mindfulness on mother–child relationships and maternal well‐being during the first Covid‐19 lockdown in Israel
Research indicates associations of mindfulness with better relationships and well‐being because it promotes decentering and relationship‐related capacities. This study examined the effects of mindfulness on mothers' relationships with their children and well‐being in a challenging time – the first COVID‐19 lockdown. We hypothesized that mothers' relationships and well‐being would deteriorate during the lockdown, but a mindfulness‐based interventi…
What it takes to be caring
Why care about caring? Linking teachers’ caring and sense of meaning at work with students’ self-esteem, well-being, and school engagement
Spiral effects of teachers’ emotions and emotion regulation strategies
My Better Half
Character strengths, representing positive attributes of individuals, have been linked with several positive psychological qualities, such as life satisfaction and well-being. However, the effects of character strengths and their deployment on married couples, at the dyadic level, have not been studied to date. The present study focuses on married partners' strengths endorsement and on their opportunities to deploy their strengths in the relation…
Intensive meditation training influences emotional responses to suffering
Meditation practices purportedly help people develop focused and sustained attention, cultivate feelings of compassionate concern for self and others, and strengthen motivation to help others who are in need. We examined the impact of 3 months of intensive meditative training on emotional responses to scenes of human suffering. Sixty participants were assigned randomly to either a 3-month intensive meditation retreat or a wait-list control group.…
Supervisor Security Provision
Attachment security in relationships is associated with several positive outcomes. Recently, researchers have applied attachment theory to employee-supervisor relationships. Two studies examined associations of supervisors' provision of attachment-related security with work-related outcomes and related underlying mechanisms. Participants completed measures of their supervisors' security provisions and of their own job satisfaction, organizational…
Differential ratings and associations with well-being of character strengths in two communities
Strengths are presumed to be universal characteristics that are possessed by all people and explain wellbeing. However, a few previous studies have demonstrated cultural differences in endorsement of certain strengths and in the contribution of certain strengths to well-being. These studies suggest that sociological factors may differentially affect strength endorsement and associations with well-being. In this study, we examined differences in p…
Enhanced response inhibition during intensive meditation training predicts improvements in self-reported adaptive socioemotional functioning
We examined the impact of training-induced improvements in self-regulation, operationalized in terms of response inhibition, on longitudinal changes in self-reported adaptive socioemotional functioning. Data were collected from participants undergoing 3 months of intensive meditation training in an isolated retreat setting (Retreat 1) and a wait-list control group that later underwent identical training (Retreat 2). A 32-min response inhibition t…
Intrusiveness in romantic relationships
Several theories of close dyadic relationships posit that relationship harmony depends, in part, on each partner maintaining an appropriate balance between proximity and autonomy. Here we describe a qualitative cross-cultural study of 278 adults from four cultural groups, Israeli Jews, Israeli Arabs, East Indian Hindus, and Americans, examining the reported behavioral expressions and subjective experiences of intrusiveness (a core manifestation o…
