“…Due to the large number of predictors ( n = 13) and the relatively small sample size (see Appendixes A and B for full results of regression analysis and reports of collinearity diagnostics; variance inflation factors [VIFs] and tolerance values), it was decided to set the cut off for significance at p < .01 rather than p < .05, for the following regressions, to counteract the possibility of Type I error (Robinson et al, 2016). Although this threshold is not as stringent as a standard Bonferroni correction, the latter has been widely criticized for being problematically conservative, particularly for exploratory research such as the following regression analysis (Perneger, 1998).…”

Developmental trends of hot and cool executive function in school-aged children with and without autism spectrum disorder: Links with theory of mind

2018

The development of executive function (EF) in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been investigated using only "cool"-cognitive EF tasks while there is limited knowledge regarding the development of "hot"-affective EF. Although cool EF development and its links to theory of mind (ToM) have been widely examined, understanding of the influence of hot EF to ToM mechanisms is minimal. The present study introduced a longitudinal design to examine the developmental changes in cool and hot EF of children with ASD (n = 45) and matched (to age and IQ) controls (n = 37) as well as the impact of EF on ToM development over a school year. For children with ASD, although selective cool (working memory and inhibition) and hot (affective decision making) EF domains presented age-related improvements, they never reached the performance level of the control group. Early cool working memory predicted later ToM in both groups but early hot delay discounting predicted later ToM only in the ASD group. No evidence was found for the reverse pattern (early ToM predicting later EF). These findings suggest that improvements in some EF aspects are evident in school age in ASD and highlight the crucial role that both cool and hot EF play in ToM development.

“…Vignettes were analysed with a variant of thematic analysis developed for brief qualitative vignette data (Robinson et al, 2015). The data were initially coded into a set of 6 top-level themes, which were derived deductively from the aims of the study and the structure of the intervention, and refined following initial analysis by two researchers.…”

“…Following a meeting to discuss any interpretive discrepancies, the two researchers again independently coded 20 new vignettes and achieved an 85% agreement rate. Next, they coded using a spreadsheet-based system of allocating codes to vignettes by entering a 1 into the spreadsheet in the code's allocated column, as per the version of thematic analysis for vignettes (Robinson et al, 2015). The first five themes were broken into subthemes by inserting brief descriptions of their content into an adjacent column and devising a set of subthemes to summarise their content.…”

There is currently an unmet need in higher education for a structured, preemptive programme of support to help students enhance their resilience to stress. This article presents a mixed-methods evaluation of a transferable biopsychosocial resilience intervention for studentsthe Resilience Enhancement Programme for Students (REP-S). In Study 1, a randomised control trial showed that participating in the intervention was associated with significantly decreased perceived stress, decreased trait neuroticism and enhanced self-esteem over a period of one month. In Study 2, written and focus-group qualitative data from students provided evidence that the intervention led to perceived positive changes, including sleeping better, dealing more effectively with assessments and managing interpersonal challenges. Future steps in the evaluation of the REP-S are discussed.

“…This fact is not consistent with Rogers' (1961) idea that people lose their authenticity with age. To understand this, we have to take into account some features of the contemporary reality in which Russian emerging adults face many challenges and stresses and need to have attachments and figures of admirations that, on the one hand, provide support to the youth but, on the other hand, limit their freedom by rules and expectations regarding their future (Robinson et al, 2013(Robinson et al, , 2016. In Russia, they have one more source of stress, namely, conscription that deprives young men of some of the freedom needed for their authentic living and strengthens emotional and social tension in their families.…”

The Authenticity Scale: Validation in Russian Culture

The correlational study is aimed at validating the Authenticity Scale in Russian culture. Authenticity is considered a trait responsible for a person’s ability to be oneself. It helps people resist environment pressure and prevent self-alienation, which contributes to maintaining psychological wellbeing. The original Authenticity Scale includes three subscales: Authentic Living, Accepting External Influence, and Self-Alienation. In total, 2,188 respondents (Mage = 26.30, SDage = 13.81; 78.1% female) participated in the survey. The dimensionality of the Authenticity Scale and its measurement invariance across sex, age, and depression rate subgroups was examined with exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses; the original tripartite structure was kept. Convergent validity was tested through correlation analyses with the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale, the International Positive and Negative Affect Schedule Short-Form, the Centre of Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. According to the CFA results, the structure of the Russian version differs from the original one slightly (item 1 was moved from the subscale Authentic Living to the subscale Accepting External Influence and item 4 was excluded); however, the modified factor model showed the best absolute and comparative fit statistics [CFI = 0.961, TLI = 0.949, RMSEA = 0.050 (90% CI [0.40; 0.60]) and SRMR = 0.037]. The reliability (McDonald’s Omega) of the Authenticity Scale subscales was satisfactory and ranged from 0.78 to 0.84. It was revealed that youth are more likely to have high scores on Accepting External Influence and Self-Alienation than adults. Men and women did not significantly differ on the sub-scores of Authenticity Scale. Multigroup CFA also showed that Authenticity Scale scores may be biased in people with high levels of clinical depression, in terms of the item intercepts. Authentic Living is positively connected with mental wellbeing, self-esteem, positive affect, satisfaction with life, and negatively with depressive symptoms and negative affect; reverse trends were found for Accepting External Influence and Self-Alienation subscales. The Russian version of the Authenticity Scale is a valid, reliable tool that may be recommended for use in various areas of non-clinical practice.

Figures of Admiration in Emerging Adulthood

Abstract: Admiration is a social emotion that is developmentally formative in emerging adulthood; admired adults act as mentors, role models and sources of inspiration to this age group (Arnett, 2014)
