Being Moved
The emotion often labelled as “being moved” is a commonly felt but somewhat mysterious experience in which joy and sadness are combined in a specific way. In recent years, it has gained much research attention, particularly within psychology, mostly using quantitative methods. The topics of discussion have included, for example, whether being moved is caused by an intensification of social relations or rather by core values of life becoming salie…
A qualitative study of pre-service teachers’ experienced benefits and concerns of using motivational interaction in practice after a training course
Despite its positive effects on physical activity promotion, the motivational style of interaction by health professionals is not easily taken up, as shown by meta-analyses of training courses. The concerns professionals experience for taking up novel skills remain an open question. Preservice physical education teachers were offered a 16-h training course on motivational interaction, an approach to teacher–student interaction based on the synthe…
Recovery from problem gambling without formal treatment
Understanding the process by which problem gamblers recover without formal treatment may improve both formal treatments and assist those who wish to modify their gambling behavior without seeking treatment. Study 1 assessed the recovery process in problem gamblers who had recovered for at least 6 months without formal treatment from those who had recovered with the assistance of formal treatment. The treated recovered gamblers generally had a mor…
Maturing out of drinking problems
This study tested the hypothesis that maturing out descriptions of change were more common among respondents whose drinking problems were less severe prior to reduction and that consequence driven changes were more common among those who had a lifetime diagnosis of alcohol dependence, prior to resolution. As part of a general population telephone survey, former heavy drinkers were asked their reasons for change. These responses were tape-recorded…
Characteristics of Former Heavy Drinkers
This study explored the factors associated with reduction from heavy drinking among three groups: current abstinent, moderate, and reduced drinkers. A random-digit-dialing telephone survey was conducted of 3,006 respondents in Ontario, Canada. Of these, 470 respondents (46% female) met criteria as former heavy drinkers (99 abstinent; 237 moderate; 134 reduced but not moderate drinkers). Quantitative and qualitative questions were used to explore …
A Prospective Study of Quit Attempts from Alcohol Problems in a Community Sample
A prospective natural history study was conducted of problem drinkers who were thinking about quitting or reducing their alcohol consumption. Two primary constructs, cognitive appraisals and life events, were measured in a mailed-out baseline survey. A two month follow-up survey identified those who had made reductions in drinking. Regression analyses revealed some support for a cognitive appraisal explanation of change. Respondents who identifie…
Why do People Stop Their Drug Use? Results from a General Population Sample
This paper describes results from a pilot study that assessed the reasons for change provided by former drug users in a representative sample of the general population. As part of a random digit dialing telephone survey, people were asked about their past use of cannabis, cocaine/crack, tobacco and alcohol. In a series of open-ended questions, participants who had stopped their consumption of the drug (or reduced it to moderate levels for alcohol…
Prevention and treatment of alcohol-related violence through prison programs
This paper reviews the connection between drinking and violent crimes in Finland and discusses ways of intervening in this connection through correctional programs. It summarizes features of effective programs and presents examples of substance-abuse programs for violent offenders, with some suggestions on how to improve their efficacy
