“… 24 Moreover, gratitude may take part in the process of compensation for lost resources, as it allows people to notice and focus on what they have, rather than on what they have lost. Compensation is thought to be “the most effective mechanism for the management of resources”, 48 whenever the lost resources cannot be replaced.…”

Introduction Gratitude has been studied as a disposition that reflects the extent to which people appreciate what they have in life knowing that it has not been given to them forever. Being grateful has been found to promote quality of life, which is why it may be used to cope in difficult times including during breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. Methods Dispositional gratitude was examined in relation to the well-being of women with breast cancer. In the current study, 119 women with breast cancer completed questionnaires that measured gratitude, well-being, coping styles, depression, and anxiety. Results Correlational analyses found that dispositional gratitude was positively correlated with well-being ( p < 0.001) and was negatively correlated with depression ( p < 0.05) and anxiety ( p < 0.05). Gratitude was also positively correlated with the use of task-oriented ( p < 0.05) and socially oriented coping ( p < 0.01) techniques. Analyses of mediation using PROCESS found that the use of task-oriented and socially oriented coping mediated relationships between gratitude and well-being, between gratitude and anxiety, and between gratitude and depression. Conclusion In terms of application, the present results suggest that among women who have breast cancer, increasing dispositional gratitude may increase adaptive coping, which in turn will increase their well-being.

“…It seems particularly important to carry out research on people and groups that are short on resources and exposed to their loss, including people at risk of occupational burnout, loss of health, social exclusion, and addictions. Resource-rich people who are in the profit spiral protect and multiply their resources, and in a stressful situation, they are able to reverse the emerging spiral of losses and make a profit (Modrzyński 2018).…”

The aim of this article was to present the current research on coping with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and, on this basis, to indicate the implications of risk management in the situation of adaptation to the crisis or re-adaptation after its end. This article considers the psychological significance of the socially experienced situation based on the latest research conducted in Poland during the first wave of the pandemic. It is an attempt to show both the risk and protective factors, as well as possible remedial effects against unfavorable social and health phenomena, which are related to the increase in costs incurred by individuals in the process of experiencing the crisis and adaptation to the conditions after its end. These are considered in the context of the costs of adaptations used by individuals and of re-adaptation in the period of coping with COVID-19. This study conducted a meta-analysis of 13 psychological and sociological studies conducted so far in the first period of the pandemic. The results of the research show that the most difficult issue in the risk situation of the next wave of a pandemic is the lack of definition of its timeframe but also disinformation and fatigue. The results of the conducted analysis may become useful material for risk management professionals. An additional value of the article is that it presents ways of applying the conclusions resulting from the research, not only during the second wave of the pandemic but also in the necessary processes of re-adaptation to life without COVID-19.

“…Those capable of creating, accumulating, and maintaining resources are less likely to lose them and thus more likely to experience a sense of success and gain, which translates into life satisfaction (Hobfoll, 1998;Skowroński & Talik, 2018;Zhou & Lin, 2016). Research has also confirmed that a gain in personal resources in the group of those at risk of social exclusion can predict increased life satisfaction over time (Modrzyński, 2018).…”

“…The threat of exclusion entails limited access to material, institutional, and social resources, poor health, often destructive environment, and low-quality interpersonal relations (Brandová & Kajanová, 2015;March et al, 2006;Murray, 2007). For example, those with substance addiction often experience rejection from their loved ones and social stigma, which reduces their perceived quality of life (Modrzyński, 2018). Also, the long-term exclusion is accompanied by an expectation of rejection in everyday interactions, experiencing learned helplessness, and emotional difficulties (Wesselmann et al, 2017).…”

“…Third, resource loss is especially dangerous due to the lack of resource reserves, a result of which the necessary resource investments are not adequately secured and trigger a loss spiral. A study of alcohol addicts during therapy showed that those with initially fewer resources were more likely to discontinue treatment and return to their destructive lifestyle (Modrzyński, 2018). A resource-rich social environment tends to prevent the use of resources by disadvantaged groups.…”

Background and Objectives. This paper presents a study based on Hobfoll’s conservation of resources theory on resources and coping as predictors of the quality of life of those at risk of social exclusion. They are deprived of access to the public pool of psychosocial resources, the acquisition and accumulation of which are closely linked to the perceived quality of life.Design. A cross-sectional self-reported questionnaire study.Method. The sample of 1,074 individuals from various groups at risk of exclusion was surveyed using the Conservation of Resources–Evaluation questionnaire, the Strategic Approach to Coping Scale, and the WHO Quality of Life Questionnaire. Structural equation modeling was used to test mediational hypotheses in the analysis. Results. The significant variables that determined the relationship between resource gains and losses and the quality of life included active-passive and prosocial-antisocial coping strategies. The results were generally robust, but the level of education moderated the relationship between active antisocial coping and quality of life.Conclusion. The obtained dependencies are consistent with Hobfoll’s approach, confirming its usefulness. Prosocial coping boosts the positive prominence of the relationship between resource gains and the quality of life and reduces the effect of resource losses, causing the quality of life to decline.
