Cross-Cultural Psychometric Analysis of the Mature Happiness Scale-Revised
The present study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Mature Happiness Scale, a measure focused on inner harmony. Mature happiness is achieved when a person can live in balance between both positive and negative aspects of their life. A total sample of 2,130 participants from five countries (Canada: n = 390, United States: n = 223, United Kingdom: n = 512, Spain: n = 724, and Hungary: n = 281) responded to an online survey includ…

Spanish Version of the Death Attitude Profile-Revised. Translation and Validation Into Spanish
The Death Attitude Profile-Revised (DAP-R) was developed in English-speaking cultures with the aim of measuring attitudes towards death. This measure consists of 32 items, grouped into five factors (Fear of Death, Avoidance of Death, Neutral Acceptance, Approach Acceptance, and Escape Acceptance). The DAP-R was translated and adapted to Spanish (DAP-RSp), and the psychometric properties were analyzed accross a general sample. The face validity wa…
The Unheard Cry of a Successful Asian Psychologist
This paper addresses the important issues of making it as an Asian psychologist in an overwhelmingly white academic field. Based on my professional and personal struggle to achieve success as a psychologist in both academia and clinical practice, I want to (a) expose the naked truth of being an Asian psychologist within a white academic field with regard to racial trauma, careerism, and expediency; (b) chart a course of maintaining personal and e…
Meaning and Evil and a Two-Factor Model of Search for Meaning
German version of the Death Attitudes Profile- Revised (DAP-GR) – translation and validation of a multidimensional measurement of attitudes towards death
Our results suggest overall good reliability of the German version of the DAP-R. The DAP-GR promises to be a robust instrument to establish normative data on death attitudes for use in German-speaking countries
Meaning-centered approach to research and therapy, second wave positive psychology, and the future of humanistic psychology
What Helps and What Hinders in Cross-Cultural Clinical Supervision
This study investigated what helped and what hindered in cross-cultural supervision. The participants were 25 visible minority graduate students and early counseling professionals. They were individually interviewed according to an expanded version of Flanagan’s critical incident technique. The most frequently cited positive themes were subsumed in five key areas: (a) personal attributes of the supervisor, (b) supervision competencies, (c) mentor…
The human quest for meaning
This volume brings together trends in 'the human search for meaning' converging from various fields, and examines the process of meaning seeking
Positive psychology 2.0
This paper first describes the growing pains and challenges of the positive psychology (PP) movement and identifies the four pillars of the good life as meaning, virtue, resilience, and well-being, which are all shaped by culture. I then introduce three issues that characterise the second wave of PP (referred to as PP 2.0). The first concerns the need for a comprehensive taxonomy of PP. The second involves the hypothesis that meaning-orientation …
Beyond Terror and Denial
Death remains the biggest threat as well as the greatest challenge to humanity. It is the single universal event that affects all of us in ways more than we care to know (Greenberg, Koole, & Pyszcz...
Reclaiming Positive Psychology
The future of humanistic psychology lies in reclaiming themes of personal growth, self-actualization, authentic happiness, optimal functioning, and human flourishing. This article proposes that a meaning-centered holistic approach within the larger context of existential givens complements the molecular approach of research on specific components of positive psychology

The Future of Humanistic/Existential Psychology
In the increasingly competitive market place of mental health providers, where do we, the humanistic/existential psychologists (HEP), position ourselves? With positive psychotherapists and happiness coaches gaining grounds in the domain of personal growth, and neuroscientists and mindful meditation dom-inating the field of spirituality, in what areas can we stake out a claim of being a major player? What are the compelling characteristics of our …

Do national levels of individualism and internal locus of control relate to well‐being
Data were collected from managers in 24 nations/territories on work locus of control (LOC), individualism–collectivism (I–C), and well‐being (job satisfaction, absence of psychological strain, and absence of physical strain). There were significant mean differences across samples on all five of these measures, and consistent with our hypothesis, at the ecological or sample mean level well‐being was associated with an internal locus of control. Ho…
Handbook of multicultural perspectives on stress and coping
"Has the developing world developed modern concepts of stress? Are coping methods the same around the globe? Such questions are not simple to answer, and until recently, few knew to ask them. In recent years, Western psychologists have recognized that their prevailing views of psychology do not always translate worldwide--and that no culture has a monopoly on either stress or coping. The Handbook of Multicultural Perspectives on Stress and Coping…
Anticipatory Stress
The stress appraisal measure (SAM)
Cognitive‐relational theory emphasizes the fundamental role of cognitive appraisal in the stress process. However, existing measures of stress appraisal suffer from conceptual and methodological problems. The present paper reports the development of a new stress appraisal scale that attempts to overcome some of these difficulties. Six dimensions of primary and secondary appraisal were identified: threat, challenge, centrality, controllable‐by‐sel…
Multidimensional Jealousy
Three studies were conducted to investigate the psychometric properties of the newly developed multidimensional jealousy scale (MJS), which provides separate assessments of cognitive, emotional and behavioural jealousy. Good reliability and validity data were obtained for the scale. It has high internal consistency, as well as a clear factor structure. The three components of jealousy correlate with established jealousy scales. The results also s…
Death Attitudes across the Life-Span
Four orthogonal factors were identified by principal component factor analysis: Fear of Death/Dying, Approach-Oriented Death Acceptance, Escape-Oriented Death Acceptance, and Neutral Death Acceptance. Theta estimates of the internal consistency of the factor scales ranged from fair (.60) to good (.89). An elderly sample ( n = 50) showed less fear of death and more acceptance (all three kinds of acceptance) than the middle age ( n = 50) and the yo…
Meaning and Purpose in Life and Well-being
Three hundred men and women at five developmental stages from young adulthood to the old-old completed measures of life attitudes and well-being. Significant age differences were found on five life attitude dimensions: Life Purpose (LP), Death Acceptance (DA), Goal Seeking (GS), Future Meaning (FM), and Existential Vacuum (EV). LP and DA increased with age; GS and FM decreased with age; EV showed a curvilinear relationship with age. Significant s…

Gender Effects in an Initial Encounter
This research examined self-disclosure between all possible pairs of sex of discloser and sex of disclosure target. Assuming that socialization encourages women and men to play different roles, men were expected to take the initiative in comparison to women in the first encounter. Among acquaintances, males may exceed women in their disclosure of personal information in order to control the relationship's development. Results supported this predi…

When people ask "why" questions, and the heuristics of attributional search
Five experiments making use of a self-probe methodology in both simulated and real conditions demonstrated that individuals do engage in spontaneous attributional search. This search is most likely when the outcome of an event is negative and unexpected. Content analysis of attributional questions also suggested that causal search is biased toward internality after failure but toward externality following success. This reverse of the oft-reported…

Residual Drive Effects and Stimulus Control of Eating
Following extended food deprivation, High-drive rats ( n = 6) failed to form a go/no-go discrimination based on differential magnitudes of reward, while Low-drive rats ( n = 6) formed a reverse discrimination. Both groups exhibited appropriate differential responding only when S—was associated with nonreward. During satiated runway test after 30 days of rehabilitation, residual drive effects as indicated by a high probability of eating and a vigo…
Initial Validity and Reliability of the Trent Attribution Profile (TAP) as a Measure of Attribution Schema and Locus of Control
Success and failure outcomes in three achievement-oriented common-life situations were simulated in the Trent Attribution Profile (TAP) with both self and others-orientations. The TAP provides measures of locus of control and stability dimensions which can be further partitioned into individual attribution elements (i.e., ability, effort, task difficulty, and luck) under four different conditions (self-success, other-success, self-failure, other-…
