Psychological Resilience and Positive Emotional Granularity: Examining the Benefits of ... - 0 views

  • Psychological Resilience and Positive Emotional Granularity: Examining the Benefits of Positive Emotions on Coping and Health
  • Positive emotional disclosureInterventions that promote positive emotions are beneficial to health. To illustrate, in one study, participants were assigned to one of three groups: (1) count your blessings, (2) list daily hassles or (3) control. People who “counted their blessings” weekly for 10 weeks by listing things for which they were grateful or thankful evidenced better subjective health outcomes, including fewer physical complaints, more time exercising, more hours of sleep, and better sleep quality.

    For centuries, folk theory has promoted the idea that positive emotions are good for your health. Accumulating empirical evidence is providing support for this anecdotal wisdom. We use the broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions (Fredrickson, 1998; 2001) as a framework to demonstrate that positive emotions contribute to psychological and physical well-being via more effective coping. We argue that the health benefits advanced by positive emotions may be instantiated in certain traits that are characterized by the experience of positive emotion. Towards this end, we examine individual differences in psychological resilience (the ability to bounce back from negative events by using positive emotions to cope) and positive emotional granularity (the tendency to represent experiences of positive emotion with precision and specificity). Individual differences in these traits are examined in two studies, one using psychophysiological evidence, the second using evidence from experience sampling, to demonstrate that positive emotions play a crucial role in enhancing coping resources in the face of negative events. Implications for research on coping and health are discussed.

    "Pop quiz: The following messages have what in common? * Frances Osborne's The Bolter is an Oprah Winfrey Book Club selection. Buy it now. * 75% of guests who stay in this hotel reuse their towels. Join them and reuse your towel to help save the environment. * Any money you donate will go to Rokia, a seven-year-old girl who lives in Mali, Africa. The answer? They all use principles of behavioral economics to influence their audience's decisions. And you can too. Nonprofit marketers and fundraisers often base important strategic and tactical choices on thinking grounded in established theories and practices, including direct marketing and economics. But what about established psychological theories? Enter behavioral economics."

    inancial Stress and Absenteeism: An Empirically Derived Model Author: Jinhee Kim and E. Thomas Garman This paper examines the relationship between financial stress and absenteeism. A conceptual model was derived from a Health Promotion Model and empirically tested to investigate relationships among determinants (individual characteristics), stress (financial stress), physical and psychological responses (organizational commitment and health), and absenteeism. Using data from white-collar workers at an insurance company in three midwestern states, this research determined that financial stress was negatively related to organizational commitment and was positively associated with absenteeism. Employers might consider offering workplace financial education programs to reduce absenteeism. Key words: financial stress, absenteeism, Work

Hearing Voices - The Seeds of Fear, Doubt and Mistrust - 0 views

  • The single most important building block of successful relationships at work (and at home and play) is trust. Without trust, relationships are put in jeopardy and people disengage, pull back, and resist connecting. Without trust, people feel unsafe - physically, emotionally, mentally, or psychologically.
