“…Social support can be defined as an individual’s perception or experience of affection, care, value, belonging, or assistance in connection with others or networks of others [ 71 ]. The stress-buffering effect of social support is arguably amongst the most tested impacts of social relationships on health [ 34 ].…”

Background: The practice of mindfulness at home is a core component of standard eight-week mindfulness-based programmes (MBP). Teachers of mindfulness courses require an understanding of the factors that need to be addressed to support participants in establishing and maintaining a mindfulness practice. Method: Here, we present a review of seven factors that we argue are important for participants' practice of mindfulness. We use the well-established model of Behaviour Change, the COMB model (Capability, Opportunity, Motivation and Behaviour) to organise and consider these factors. For each factor, we first present a definition and then a discussion in relation to psychological, health and Buddhist literature. We illustrate the importance of each factor with quotes from MBP participant interviews. Results: We discuss participants' Capability (planning/commitment, physical space), Opportunity (social support, the relationship with the teacher) and Motivation (readiness for self-care, beliefs about practice, self-efficacy, experiencing the rewards of practice), and how these lead to the target Behaviour (mindfulness practice). Conclusions: Our understanding, as teachers and researchers, of how best to support and guide participants during MBPs is at an early stage. We draw out practical lessons around each of the seven factors for mindfulness teachers in supporting participants' home practice.

“…One possibility is that there may be gender differences in the associations between coparenting support and parenting stress. For example, some of the research on support behaviors in couples suggests that men tend to rely more on their partner's support and to obtain greater benefits from their partner's support (e.g., better health or well‐being) compared to women (Taylor, 2012), which may be due to the fact that women tend to have broader sources of support than men from which they seek and get support. It may also be that other variables that are linked to the association between mother's perception of partner coparenting support and parenting stress were not considered in the current study.…”

Are we there for each other? Longitudinal associations between parenting stress and coparenting in parents of preschool and school‐aged children

It is well known that parenthood can be particularly stressful. However, less is known about the stability of parenting stress across children's developmental periods. Certain correlates to parenting stress, such as coparenting support between parents, also appear to play a crucial role in childrearing. The current study aims to shed light on the longitudinal associations between parenting stress during the preschool and school years, along with the moderating effect of coparenting support in this association. Eighty‐two heterosexual couples who are parents completed the Parenting Stress Index at Time 1 and Time 2 and the Coparenting Relationship Scale at Time 2. Actor‐Partner path analyses revealed that greater parenting stress in each parent was related to their partner's greater parenting stress at each time point, but only to their own greater parenting stress 5 years later. The association between fathers' parenting stress at both time points was weaker in fathers who reported greater coparenting support from their partner. Helping parents reduce their parenting stress and learn to support each other effectively as coparents may be important parenting intervention avenues.

“…Attribution theory posits that individuals search for reasons why an event occurs (Weiner, 1986). The theory extends to how individuals perceive others and how they evaluate others’ behavior (Taylor, 1998). Research in psychology suggests that individuals place a heavy emphasis on situational and contextual factors (Fein et al , 1990; Fein, 1996; Vonk, 1998).…”

“…Situational and contextual factors (e.g. Fein, 1996; Fein et al , 1990; Vonk, 1998) influence how individuals perceive others and how they evaluate others’ behavior (Taylor, 1998) to a particular event. We apply attribution theory to our EA reliance decision.…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the extent to which external auditors (EAs) use the work of the internal audit function (IAF) based on the purpose of its primary activities. The authors rely on attribution theory, which suggests that individuals search for meaning when an event occurs. In this setting, the authors explore how the overall (assurance vs advisory) or specific (e.g. risk management and evaluating internal controls) focus of IAF activities influences perceived EA reliance on the IAF’s work. Design/methodology/approach The authors first explore the research question with data extracted from a broad, longitudinal survey conducted triennially by the national chapters of the Institute of Internal Auditors in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. The data includes responses from 2014, 2017 and 2020 administrations of the survey. The authors conduct a parallel survey with practicing EAs attending two training sessions of a European office of a global network firm. Hypotheses were tested using ordered logistic regression. Findings Among the chief audit executive (CAE) participants, the authors observe that a balanced or primarily assurance-related purpose of the IAF, relative to a primarily advisory-related purpose, is associated with higher perceived EA reliance. The authors observe similar perceptions of the extent of reliance among the EA participants. Originality/value With a unique data set of practicing internal auditors from three countries, coupled with a sample of EAs, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to examine differences in EA reliance across the IAF’s primary roles. The study relies on data from three European countries, which differs from prior EA reliance literature with a largely North American focus. Further, comparison between perceptions of EAs and CAEs is a novel approach and this paper’s findings suggest that perceptions of CAEs could be a reliable proxy for EA-intended behavior.
