Download or read book Social Problem Solving as a Mediator of the Relation Between Personality Traits and Emotional Distress written by Sarah E. Ricelli and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has linked the presence of particular personality traits with emotional distress and resulting psychological and physical health consequences. Specifically, within the context of the empirically-supported personality trait taxonomy known as, five-factor model, the trait of low emotional stability (or neuroticism) has been associated with negative affect. Additionally, the traits of conscientiousness and extraversion have each been associated with reduction in negative affect. This suggests that personality vulnerabilities may lead to emotional distress, and personality strengths may serve as a buffering factor. However, one way that the likelihood of psychological outcomes may be either increased or decreased regardless of the presence of personality trait vulnerabilities (or strengths), may be dependent on the presence of specific coping strategies in an individual's repertoire. Social problem solving is a particular cognitive behavioral coping process by which an individual identifies effective solutions to everyday problems. Because of the extant evidence base for problem-solving coping as an important coping factor with regard to the link between stress and depression, it has been suggested that problem solving coping may represent one important set of coping responses that may also impact the link between personality traits and emotional distress. In the present study, personality, social problem solving, and emotional distress were investigated in 200 undergraduate college students. It was hypothesized that social problem solving would serve as a mediator of the relationship between personality and negative affect. Personality and social problem solving variables associated with distress were evaluated, including the traits of Neuroticism, Conscientiousness, and Extraversion, and the social problem solving dimensions of negative problem orientation and rational problem solving. A secondary hypothesis predicted a difference in the mediational role of social problem solving as a function of dispositional versus situational affect. The sample consisted of both males and females, ages 18-25, of various ethnicities. Participants completed a series of four questionnaires: NEO Personality Inventory-Revised, Social Problem Solving Inventory-Revised (short-version), and two different versions of the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule. Bivariate analyses, individual regression analyses, and Sobel tests were performed to test the predicted mediational impact of problem-solving regarding the relationship between personality traits and negative affect. Negative problem orientation was found to be a significant partial mediator of the relationship between Neuroticism and negative affect, as well as the relationship between Conscientiousness and negative affect. This indicates that in addition to the direct effect of the personality traits on distress, there was also an indirect effect of the traits on negative problem orientation. No difference in the mediational impact of social problem solving for state versus trait affect was found. All other proposed mediational relationships were insignificant. These findings identify negative problem orientation as a clinical target to attenuate distress in individuals with personality vulnerabilities.
Download or read book Personality Stress and Coping written by Erica Frydenberg and published by IAP. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly all chapters in this volume are contemporary original research on personality, stress, and coping in educational contexts. The research spans primary, secondary, and tertiary education. Research participants are students and teachers. The volume brings together contributions from the United States, Australia, Canada, Italy, Scotland, and Hong Kong. Outcomes of interest in the studies include achievement (e.g., grades), cognitive processes such as problem solving, and psychological/ emotional health and well-being. The book is divided into two sections. Part I focuses on personality, stress, and coping in children and young people and Part II addresses personality, stress and coping among adults. Each chapter is introduced by an abstract that summarizes the study. Each chapter makes a unique contribution and can stand alone; interested individuals may benefit from reading any of the chapters without the necessity of reading others. At the same time, there is frequent content overlap among chapters; many authors utilized some of the same measurement devices to assess study variables, and similar or identical variables are studied across chapters utilizing diverse theoretical perspectives or models. In measuring coping, several chapters used the Adolescent Coping Scale (Frydenberg & Lewis, 1993) and a number of others utilized the COPE scale (Carver, Scheier, & Weintraub, 1989). Particular personality models or variables were commonly studied. A few chapters investigated the Big Five, two studied self efficacy and two researched implicit theories of personality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to "Harmony in Disagreement," an engaging and thought-provoking examination of organisational conflict. It is a universally acknowledged fact that conflict and discord are inevitable components of all human relationships. In a similar vein, the intricate workings of a company may give rise to daily disagreements, as different employees, supervisors, and departments often hold divergent opinions and compete for limited resources. Even though the intensity and weight of these conflicts may vary, ranging from inconsequential disagreements to high-stakes conflicts such as strikes, the potential benefits should not be underestimated despite these differences. This fascinating book examines the potentially life-altering impacts of conflict that are managed with care and skill. We come to realise that conflict, far from being something to be avoided at all costs, can in fact serve as a catalyst for innovation, problem-solving, and the revitalization of organisations. When welcomed in a constructive manner, conflict provides an opportunity to investigate alternative perspectives, query the status quo, and develop a culture committed to progress. We are able to manage the various risks that may arise within an organisation because we are aware of the potential pitfalls that internal friction can create. When we are aware of the fundamental causes and underlying elements that lead to conflicts, we equip individuals and teams with the skills necessary to negotiate conflicts successfully and prevent them from escalating into circumstances that hinder cooperation and productivity. This allows us to prevent the escalation of conflicts. The book "Harmony in Disagreement" challenges the conventional business wisdom by casting light on an underappreciated advantage of organisational conflict. We demonstrate how approaching a problem with empathy and an open mind can lead to enhanced communication, greater trust, and stronger relationships among team members. Organisations are able to cultivate an environment that values diverse points of view and encourages members to feel empowered to express their opinions and concerns if they view conflict as a chance for advancement and handle it as such. Join us as we investigate the intricate forces at work within organisations and embark on a journey that will eternally alter your perspective. Learn essential insights into conflict management strategies, communication techniques, and the art of fostering cooperation despite divergent perspectives and approaches. The book "Harmony in Disagreement" will teach you the skills required to transform disagreement into a driver of constructive change within your organisation, thereby releasing potential that has been inert for some time. Learn how to achieve harmony in the midst of conflict to pave the way for organisational growth and success. Permit this book to serve as your guide as you navigate the complex terrain of conflict, transforming obstacles into opportunities and fostering cooperation, creativity, and shared achievement.
