Mapping the mind behind retributive and restorative justice through psychological mediation and moderation
How people perceive justice is informed not only by societal norms but also by the emotional and cognitive dispositions that shape their interpretations of wrongdoing. The present study explored how several personality characteristics and self-related tendencies, including empathy, self-compassion, forgiveness, openness to experience, and extraversion, are statistically associated with preferences for retributive and restorative justice. A total …
What do I need from myself as a student but also from others to reduce the impact of stress on academic performance? Self-efficacy and social support
Introduction The literature emphasizes the link between academic stress and academic performance and the fact that the most vulnerable students are first-year students, but we still need to understand the underlying mechanism for forming targeted intervention strategies and the protective factors. The main objective of the present study was to test the mediating effect of self-efficacy and social support on the relationship between academic stres…
Meaning in Life Among Aged People
As individuals grow older, they experience notable shifts in their health conditions, social positions, and personal identity. Studies show that finding meaning in life correlates with healthier lifestyle choices and enhanced overall well-being. This sense of meaning functions as a protective factor against life’s challenges, strengthening resilience during later years. The research utilized thematic analysis within a qualitative methodology to i…
Beyond Stereotypes
Background: Stereotypes and prejudices about the Roma community are common due to the fact that little information has been documented in a scientific way, as this population is difficult to access and study. Aim: Through this study, we aimed to investigate and disseminate the values by which members of a Roma community in Northeastern Romania live their lives, to be the first to provide written documentation of the values of this ethnic group, a…
Formal education vs. informal education in the Roma community—a silent confrontation where nobody wins
Objectives Our main aim was to identify the advantages and disadvantages that the Roma relate to formal education vs. informal education, a discrepancy in the balance between the two can enrich the explanations regarding their low level of schooling—which hinders their social inclusion. Method There were 28 participants of Roma ethnicity, aged between 19 and 52 years old, who took part in the study: 15 were married, 13 were single, all of them sc…
Therapists’ problematic experiences when working with obsessive-compulsive disorder
For therapists working with clients with OCD, two main categories of triggers have been identified: Perceived resistance to change and Superiority. Two other categories, Client immobilized by conflict and Abusive, emerged from our analysis. Therapists' reactions to triggers were synthesized into mode processes that (1) were not acted on and (2) were displayed in relation with the client. For mode processes that therapists did not explicitly act o…
Protective Factors against Morally Injurious Memories from the Covid-19 Pandemic on Nurses’ Occupational Wellbeing
The COVID-19 pandemic was a fertile ground for nurses' exposure to self- and other-Potentially Morally Injurious Events (PMIEs). Our study explored the effects of nurses' memories of self- and other-PMIEs on occupational wellbeing and turnover intentions. Using an experimental design on a convenience sample of 634 Romanian nurses, we tested a conceptual model with PLS-SEM, finding adequate explanatory and predictive power. Memories of self- and o…
The Moral Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Nurses’ Burnout, Work Satisfaction and Adaptive Work Performance
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in unprecedented exposure to Potentially Morally Injurious Events (PMIEs) for nurses, in which they were both moral transgressors and moral victims, with deleterious consequences on their psycho-social health and functioning. Our experimental design compared memories of PMIEs with memories of severe moral transgressions (SMTs), in which participants were only moral transgressors. Drawing from Self-Determination Theo…
Injurious Memories from the Covid-19 Frontline
Nurses have been frequently exposed to Potentially Morally Injurious Events (PMIEs) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to resource scarcity, they both perpetrated (self-PMIEs) and passively witnessed (other-PMIEs) moral transgressions toward the patients, severely violating their moral values. Our study investigated the impact of self- and other-PMIEs on work outcomes by exploring nurses' episodic memories of these events and the basic psychologic…
Illness Representation among Adolescents
There is a significant increase in the studies investigating illness representation through quantitative methods, which is due to a certain extent to the valid psychometric instruments that measure this construct. This phenomenon is especially intense among people who have a certain diagnosis. Not the same can be said about the existing research for the study of the representation that healthy people have about illness, in which the qualitative m…
