“…Indeed, the relevance of assimilative and accommodative processes in adapting to adverse circumstances has been independently acknowledged by a number of authors in recent years, who have incorporated these self-regulatory modes into their own frameworks for describing adaptation and resilience (Brands, Wade, Stapert, & van Heugten, 2012;Crombez, Eccleston, Van Damme, Vlaeyen, & Karoly, 2012;Frazier, Newman, & Jaccard, 2007;Park, 2010).…”

Objectives. This study examined the relationships between tenacious goal pursuit (TGP), flexible goal adjustment (FGA), and affective well-being in a sample of individuals with lower limb amputations.Design. Cross-sectional, quantitative.Methods. Ninety-eight patients recently admitted to a primary prosthetic rehabilitation programme completed measures of TGP, FGA, positive affect, and negative affect.Results. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that TGP and FGA accounted for a significant proportion of the variance in both positive and negative affect, controlling for sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. TGP was significantly positively associated with positive affect, while FGA was significantly negatively associated with negative affect.Moderated regression analyses indicated that the beneficial effect of FGA on negative affect was strongest at high levels of amputation-related pain intensity, and low levels of TGP.Discussion. TGP and FGA appear to influence subjective well-being in different ways, with TGP promoting the experience of positive affect and FGA buffering against negative affect.TGP and FGA may prove useful in identifying individuals at risk for poor affective outcomes following lower limb amputation, and represent important targets for intervention in this patient group.3

“…Flexible goal adjustment and tenacious goal pursuit styles were assessed by means of the Tenacious Goal Pursuit and Flexible Goal Adjustment questionnaire (TENFLEX [18]). In this questionnaire, 2 distinct modes of coping with goal disruption are assessed: tenacious goal pursuit (TGP; e.g.…”

“…It has been argued that having an assimilative coping style is problematic when control over what blocks a goal is low or when the goal has become unrealistic, because coping efforts will comsume scarce resources and will lead to repeated failure experiences and frustration [17]. Evidence is accumulating that the ability to adjust unattainable goals to changing situations and life events may protect against the adverse effects of goal failure, and that people who are better able to abandon unattainable goals and to reengage in other meaningful activities experience greater subjective well-being and better physical health [18][19][20][21]. It has been proposed that these coping styles may have similar effects on adaptation to health problems and chronic illness [17,22].…”

The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.All procedures performed in studies involving human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and/or national research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards. Informed consent was obtained from all individual participants included in the study. 2 Abstract PurposeAcceptance and flexible goal adjustment are believed to be protective factors in chronic illness whereas tenacious goal pursuit is considered maladaptive. The present study aimed to investigate the role of these factors in quality of life of patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). MethodsA sample of 117 patients with MS was recruited. They completed questionnaires measuring quality of life (physical functioning, psychological functioning, psychological distress), acceptance, flexible goal adjustment, and tenacious goal pursuit. ResultsAcceptance significantly accounted for variance in all three indexes of quality of life, beyond the effects of demographic and illness characteristics. The role of goal regulation style was less clear. Flexible goal adjustment significantly accounted for psychological wellbeing only. Surprisingly, tenacious goal pursuit predicted better psychological functioning and less psychological distress. No support was found for the hypothesis that acceptance and flexible goal adjustment would moderate the relation between illness severity and quality of life. ConclusionsThe findings suggest the potential importance of acceptance in understanding MS patients' quality of life, although its hypothesized protective function could not be confirmed. Further conceptual work on acceptance and goal regulation style is needed, as well as prospective work investigating their causal status.

“…Coping can be viewed as the dynamic process of applying cognitive and behavioural efforts to manage specific events assessed as testing the individual's personal resources (Frazier, Newman & Jaccard 2007). The manner in which individuals deal with their financial difficulties is linked to their well-being.…”

As the financial planning industry undergoes a series of reforms aimed at increased professionalism and improved quality of advice, financial planner training in Australia and elsewhere has begun to acknowledge the importance of interdisciplinary knowledge bases in informing both curriculum design and professional practice (e.g. FPA 2009). This paper underscores the importance of the process of financial planning by providing a conceptual analysis of the six step financial planning process using key mechanisms derived from theory and research in cognate disciplines, such as psychology and well-being. The paper identifies how these mechanisms may operate to impact client well-being in the financial planning context. The conceptual mapping of the mechanisms to process elements of financial planning is a unique contribution to the financial planning literature and offers a further framework in the armamentarium of researchers interested in pursuing questions around the value of financial planning. The conceptual framework derived from the analysis also adds to the growing body of literature aimed at developing an integrated model of financial planning.
