“…In a study of 63 older adults (ages 60 to 90 years), compared with personal savoring, those who completed in-person RS showed lower cardiovascular reactivity (heart rate) during the savoring session, which in turn, was associated with greater agency during an advice-giving task following the savoring session, all medium-sized effects (Borelli, Bond, Fox, & Horn-Mallers, 2019). Finally, a research team investigated the effects of using RS with a sample of 20 adolescent teens in a residential treatment facility; youth assigned to RS showed greater reductions in negative affect, greater improvements in relational schema, and marginally significant reductions in attachment anxiety, compared with personal savoring controls, all large effect sizes (Wang, Bouche, Hong, Rice, & Borelli, in press).…”

Our purpose is to introduce a novel technique for evoking emotions associated with moments of closeness with another person (relational savoring), to describe its theoretical grounding, specifics of treatment targets and outcomes, as well as to provide the preliminary evidence for its efficacy in promoting flourishing. We rely on attachment theory, the broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions, and emotion-focused therapy as foundations for our understanding of how secure relationships are built and maintained and for proposing how relational savoring can promote flourishing through strengthening relationships. To illustrate specific mechanisms of change, we provide examples from a recently completed study of mothers of young children. Finally, we discuss how the technique can be integrated into clinical practice as well as how it might be used to augment other forms of therapy.

“…This work is consistent with the findings of other attachment-based interventions, such as relational savoring [ 18 ], which have as their goal helping clients recall memories of positive relational experiences (ideally, times when they provided or received sensitive care to/from an attachment figure) and engaging in deep emotional and cognitive processing of these memories. In line with attachment priming studies, relational savoring increases positive emotion, relationship satisfaction, and reflective functioning, while reducing psychopathology in parents and youth [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]. It will be interesting to see in future research whether attachment-based therapies focusing on creating corrective attachment experiences can be boosted using such more positive and stimulating intervention strategies as secure attachment priming and savoring.…”

“…Examination of the properties of the PANAS-C has been conducted widely among both clinical [e.g., [43][44][45] and non-clinical samples [e. g 40, 46]. The PANAS-C has also been employed as an outcome to assess treatment effects in clinical studies for pharmaceutical interventions [e.g., 47, 48] and psychosocial interventions [e.g., [49][50][51]. Further, it has been validated in various countries, including Brazil [52], China [53], Iran [54], Italy [55], Japan [56], Peru [57], Poland [58], Serbia [59], and Spain [60].…”

Background Although mental health issues among Indonesian adolescents are of growing concern, a psychometrically valid measure of affect in Indonesia to inform related research and prevention and treatment efforts does not exist. Methods The present study’s aim was to culturally adapt and validate the widely used Positive and Negative Affect Schedule for Children (PANAS-C) among Indonesian adolescents. The original 30-item PANAS-C in English underwent forward and back translations to Bahasa Indonesia (the national language of Indonesia) followed by cognitive interviews with private and public school students ages 12–15 (n = 18). The adapted PANAS-C and measures to assess convergent validity were completed by 704 Indonesian adolescents from Greater Jakarta and the Javanese city of Surabaya (Mage = 13.56, SD = 0.906) (56.96% girls; 42.75% boys; 0.28% other). Most participants identified their ethnicity as Javanese (72.59%), Betawi (8.24%), or Sundanese (3.41%). Results Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted, which resulted in 26 items with a two-factor structure consistent with the original PANAS-C: A 12-item Positive Affect subscale and a 14-item Negative Affect subscale. Internal consistency was satisfactory for the Positive Affect subscale (Cronbach’s alpha was 0.88; McDonald’s omega was 0.88) and excellent for the Negative Affect subscale, (Cronbach’s alpha was 0.90; McDonald’s omega was 0.89). Test-retest reliability was acceptable for all items, and convergent validity was confirmed by significant correlations with measures of distress and well-being. Conclusion The adapted PANAS-C was found to be a reliable and valid measure of positive and negative affect that can be used with Indonesian adolescent girls and boys. This is the first validated measure of positive and negative affect for young people in Indonesia, which fills a need in mental health research and practice.
