“…In other relevant research, Baumeister and Leary (1995) further reviewed the empirical literature of social and personality psychology to 325 investigate whether people need to form and maintain strong and stable social relationships, reporting from their analysis that "people form social attachments readily under most conditions and resist the dissolution of existing bonds," that "Belongingness appears to have multiple and strong effects on emotional patterns and on cognitive processes," that "Lack of attachments is linked to a variety of ill 330 effects on health, adjustment, and well-being," and that "Existing evidence supports the hypothesis that the need to belong is a powerful, fundamental, and extremely pervasive motivation" (p. 497). Roffey (2012) has also recently argued that:…”

In "Flourish," the psychologist Martin Seligman AQ1 proposed that psychological well-being consists of "PERMA: positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment." Although the question of what constitutes flourishing or psychological well-being has been long debated among 10 scholars, the recent literature has suggested that a paradigmatic or prototypical case of psychological well-being would manifest most or all of the aforementioned PERMA factors. The recent literature on poetry therapy has also suggested that poetry practice may be utilized as "an effective therapeutic tool" for patients suffering from a variety of ailments so psychological well-being has been long debated among scholars, the recent literature has suggested that a paradigmatic or prototypical case of psychological well-being would manifest most or all of the aforementioned PERMA factors. The recent literature on poetry therapy has also suggested that poetry practice may be utilized as "an effective therapeutic tool" for patients suffering from a variety of ailments 30 (cf. Kempler, 2003 AQ4 ) so it seems plausible that practicing poetry can positively contribute to one flourishing with greater psychological well-being. However, recent studies on poetry therapy have not yet been reviewed and integrated under the PERMA framework from positive psychology to further explore and AQ3 explicate this

“…Effects of positive relationships with schoolmates, teachers or both, have been studied extensively (Black & McCartney, 1997;Roffey, 2012;Wentzel, 1998). Positive influences have been found, for instance enhanced social and academic competence in the school context (Wentzel & Asher, 1995) as well as an increased achievement and school adjustment (Birch & Ladd, 1997).…”

In order to enhance our understanding of interindividual differences in academic motivation, the present study examined the interplay of personality, psychosocial adjustment and socio-academic factors in a subsample of adolescent students identified as teacher-and-peer-independent motivation type (MT) (N = 295; M Age = 13.71) in Brandenburg, Germany. A latent structural equation model was run in order to test whether psychosocial adjustment mediates the association between personality and socio-academic factors. The results revealed that psychosocial adjustment fully mediates the associations between personality and socio-academic factors. Additionally, results showed that neuroticism is a strong predictor of socio-academic difficulties. The findings could be integral of supporting students on a more individualized level.

“…Children and youth in foster care represent a particularly vulnerable group of young people, as they have experienced removal from their homes and communities of origin, disrupted relationships, and ensuing challenges related to healthy attachment to caring and committed adults (McWey, 2004). Although it is widely accepted that all children and youth need supportive and caring adult relationships to flourish (Reis, Collins, & Berscheid, 2000;Roffey, 2012;Zimmerman et al, 2013), these relationships may be especially critical for young people in foster care. In fact, a growing body of literature on older adolescents suggests natural mentoring relationships with adults may function as a protective factor among vulnerable youth (Zimmerman et al, 2013), including young people in foster care (Britner, Randall, & Ahrens, 2013).…”

This study describes natural mentoring among preadolescent children placed in out‐of‐home care and examines the association between natural mentoring and demographic, maltreatment, placement, and psychosocial characteristics. Cross‐sectional data from a sample of 263 children and their out‐of‐home caregivers were analyzed. Caregivers rated children's social skills, and children reported on their perceived opportunities and attachment to peers and adults, including natural mentors. About half the sample endorsed having natural mentors, with school personnel being the most common type of mentor. Children with natural mentors were older, more likely to be living in congregate care, and had stronger attachment to friends. Marginally significant findings suggested that children with natural mentors had been in out‐of‐home care for fewer months, and children who were sexually abused were less likely to have natural mentors with whom they had current contact. Future research is needed that examines the longitudinal course of natural mentoring among this population.
