A Rapid Review of the Interrelations Between Spirituality, Self-Transcendence, and Prosociality
It is increasingly acknowledged that spirituality often exists outside of religious frameworks, and the number of individuals identifying as spiritual but not religious is increasing around the world. Moreover, spirituality has been associated with a variety of positive intrapersonal and interpersonal effects rooted in self-transcendence. However, unlike religiosity, there have been few attempts to synthesize the literature on the relations betwe…
Learning to thrive through autonomy: A thematic analysis of the role of recalled parental autonomy in the transition to motherhood
Becoming a mother requires the continual redefinition of current self-identity. This can be challenging for women who struggle being autonomous due to unfulfilled core emotional needs from early interactions with primary caregivers. Existing literature on the impact of early experiences on motherhood is largely quantitative and focuses on adverse childhood experiences and broad parenting constructs. Informed by the findings of our quantitative st…
Cross-validating the Couple Resilience Inventory with individuals in LGBTQ relationships in Singapore: Insights from a mixed-methods approach
The Couple Resilience Inventory (CRI) was first developed by relationship researchers to assess the strategies that intimate couples use to cope with stressful life events. To date, the inventory has not been cross-validated in non-Western societies. A mixed-methods approach was used to examine the relevance, reliability, and validity of the CRI with individuals in LGBTQ relationships purposively sampled from Singapore’s LGBTQ community. In the q…
Unmasking the Struggle: A Scoping Review Exploring Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms in Caregivers of Individuals with Neurodevelopmental, Psychiatric and Neurocognitive Disorders
The impact of caregiving on caregivers’ mental health is typically considered within the caregiver stress and burden literature; however, more recently, research has investigated the experience of post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) in caregivers. As an emerging area of research, it is timely to conduct a scoping review to map the existing literature in relation to PTSS among adult caregivers of children and adults with neurodevelopmental disor…
Early Parenting Interactions and First-Time Mothers’ Postnatal Depression and Parental Competence
Objectives: Schema Therapy, an approach that integrates cognitive-behavioural and attachment principles, helps us understand the impact of early interactions with caregivers on adult mental health. These early interactions can be assessed through Schema Therapy-informed tools; however, these tools have yet to be used with a postnatal population, which represents a period of vulnerability for new mothers. Therefore, the present study aimed to eval…
Mental health, stressors and resources in migrant domestic workers in Singapore: A thematic analysis of in-depth interviews
Making do with things we cannot change: An interpretive phenomenological analysis of relationship resilience among gay men in Singapore
Despite evolving social and political attitudes, many countries, including Singapore, still do not recognize couples in same-sex relationships. Much remains to be understood about the processes and strategies that help these couples maintain their relationships, especially in Asian societies. This study explored the ways in which gay men in intimate relationships safeguarded their relationships and remained resilient in Singapore. Semi-structured…
