“…Sleep quality was measured by the question “How satisfied are you with your sleep?” with a 9-point Likert scale ranging from 1 ( very dissatisfied ) to 9 ( very satisfied ). This instrument showed good validity and test–retest reliability in previous research with intraclass correlation coefficients of .86 for general quality of life, .72 for general health, and .81 for sleep quality (Atroszko, Bagińska, et al, 2015; Czerwiński et al, 2020).…”

Can perseverance of effort become maladaptive? Study addiction moderates the relationship between this component of grit and well-being among music academy students

Grit, defined as perseverance and passion for long-term goals, is investigated as a predictor of academic success and well-being. This trait may have special importance for musicians’ functioning as their lives revolve around practice routines and mastering their craft for years. However, there is a growing recognition that extreme perseverance may be maladaptive in some cases. Persistent overinvolvement in goal-oriented activities is related to compulsive overworking, conceptualized within the behavioral addiction framework as work and study addiction. A previous study showed that study addiction is relatively highly prevalent among young musicians and has a clearly negative effect on their functioning. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between grit, study addiction, and psychosocial functioning among music academy students. It was hypothesized that perseverance of effort is related to well-being, grade point average (GPA), and study addiction, and that it becomes maladaptive for individuals addicted to studying. A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted among 213 music academy students in Poland. Perseverance of effort was positively related to GPA and study addiction. The relationships between perseverance of effort and self-rated general health, and between perseverance of effort and quality of life, were moderated by study addiction. The results suggest that grit may become maladaptive perseverance in the cases of individuals at risk of study addiction. Based on these findings, further investigations of grit among musicians, as well as further studies of the negative aspects of grit in general, are warranted. Implications for prevention and intervention programs are discussed.

“…The method used in the study was paper and pencil survey. The questionnaires used for the study were the Consumerism at Work Scale described in the previous study, the Growth Mindset Questionnaire (NNR) and the Ultra-Short Scale for measuring subjective well-being in the adaptation of Atroszko et al ( Atroszko et al, 2015a ; Atroszko et al, 2015b ; Atroszko et al, 2017 ).…”

BackgroundConsumerism at work is a new concept. It is linked to materialism and consumption experience, which is why its relations with people’s well-being, self-concept clarity, life aspirations and growth mindset are not obvious. The phenomenon can be manifested as obtaining documents confirming acquired qualifications and profes-sional experience by frequent changes of workplace not motivated by a real need, but rather a desire of collect-ing. Consumerism at work consists of three dimensions: external attestation of competence, orientation to-wards self-improvement and exploratory orientation, which are related to extrinsic motivation. It is a phenomenon observed contemporarily and may be attributable to changes in the labor market.Participants and procedureThe aim of the article is to explore consumerism at work and to examine the relationship between the phenom-enon, employees’ personal goals, self-concept clarity, well-being and growth mindset. For that purpose, two studies were conducted among employees using a paper-pencil survey. There were 206 participants in the first study and 91 in the second one. In the new method, the Consumerism at Work Scale, the Aspirations Index, the Self-Concept Clarity Scale, the Growth Mindset Questionnaire and Ultra-Short Scales for measuring subjective well-being were used.ResultsThe study results show that consumerism at work is negatively related to self-concept clarity and positively re-lated to extrinsic goals. Nonetheless, there are no relations between consumerism at work, well-being and a growth mindset.ConclusionsIt can be concluded that consumerism at work is a negative phenomenon in the context of employee’s self-concept clarity, and that it is associated with materialistic goals, while it is not related to growth mindset and well-being.

“…All these measures had existing data indicating adequate psychometric properties. Sleep was measured using the Sleep Quality Scale (SQS; Cappelleri et al, 2009); social support by the Brief Measure of Social Support (BMSS; Atroszko et al, 2015); and support from personal relationships by the Scale of Satisfaction with Personal Relationships (SSPR; Atroszko et al, 2015). In addition, a single item from the Maternal Breastfeeding Evaluation Scale (MBES) that measured overall satisfaction with breastfeeding was selected, due to its high correlation with the full scale (r = .83, p < .001; Leff et al, 1994).…”

Objective The current study aimed to estimate the prevalence of common mental health difficulties in parents who have an infant with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GORD), and to identify psychological predictors of parental anxiety, depression, and well-being, as a platform for subsequent intervention development. Methods Parents of infants with GORD ( N = 309) completed online psychometric measures of potential predictors (self-compassion, illness appraisals, and illness uncertainty), potential confounders (sleep quality, relationship satisfaction, social support, and infant feeding satisfaction), and mental health outcomes (anxiety, depression, and wellbeing). The outcome measures were repeated eight-weeks later ( N = 103). Results At the first time-point, 66% of participants exceed the clinical cut off for generalised anxiety disorder and 63% exceeded that for a depressive disorder. Both had significantly reduced eights-weeks later. Greater self-compassion predicted lower anxiety and depression, and better well-being, in both cross-sectional and longitudinal data, including when all confounders were controlled for. Illness uncertainty and illness appraisals were less consistent predictors. No robust differences were found between parents of infants with silent GORD and those with GORD with visible regurgitation. Conclusions Parents of infants with GORD showed high rates of anxiety and depression, which were elevated compared to those that have been found in perinatal and general population samples. Self-compassion was a consistent predictor of better mental health and has promise as a proximal intervention target. Future research could benefit from examining the efficacy of a compassion-focussed intervention in this population.
