Abstract:
Extant literature suggests not only that social relationships are one context in which individuals may pursue personal strivings (Rusbult, Finkel & Kumashiro, 2009a), but also that individuals may assess their marital satisfaction based on their goal-striving successes (Li & Fung, 2011). Indeed, the degree to which partners appear to be responsive to one another's goals and ideals, termed partner responsiveness, has been linked with personal and relational well-being (Reis, Clark & Holmes, 2004; Rusbult et al., 2009a). Virtues such as commitment, trust, and compassion have been theoretically and empirically associated with upward cycles of partner responsiveness and personal and relational well-being (Canavello & Crocker, 2010; Reis & Gable, 2015). Partner responsiveness has also been consistently linked with goal attainment and well-being in the context of social relationships (Drigotas, 2002). The present study sought to bridge these two literatures by examining the potential mediating role of partner responsiveness between virtues and goal attainment. Data for the present study came from a cross-sectional survey of 840 heterosexual married couples living across the United States. Hypotheses were analyzed using an actor-partner interdependencemodel (Kenny, Kashy & Cook, 2006). Results suggested that partner responsiveness partially mediated actor effects of virtue on goal attainment, but fully mediated the partner effects of virtue on goal attainment. Gender effects emerged such that the direct effects of virtues on goal attainment were stronger for husbands than for wives. These results indicate that within-dyads (Kenny et al., 2006) gender difference variables (e.g. percent of family income earned) are likely to account for these differences. Study limitations and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Abstract:
Book Summary: In addition to providing foundational information about ethical codes and legal statues, this new text advocates for counseling personnel to view ethical issues as challenges for personal and professional growth. Written in an accessible, concise and easy to read style, this book endeavors to broaden the traditional focus of ethical study to include topics that students and practicing clinicians will find consistent with their own personal striving and professional needs. While covering the traditional core percepts of professional ethics in considerable detail: confidentiality, informed consent, boundaries and the use of power, and competency and professional responsibility, it also advocates for counseling personnel to view ethical issues as challenges for personal and professional growth. And, it includes a number of critical topics that counselors and therapists face or will face in daily practice. These include organizational ethics, virtue ethics, and an expanded view of multicultural ethics with a focus on community values as well as on religious and spiritual issues. This new book includes a special chapter in the appendix that emphasizes ways in which counselors and therapists can grow and achieve excellence in their personal and professional lives. Unique and essential coverage of organizational ethics (OE) is addressed making readers aware of how organizational dynamics can exert such powerful influence on ethical decision making (Ch 4 & 10-14). Unique coverage of the ethical considerations involving spiritual and religious issues as well as the use of alternative interventions in counseling and psychotherapy are covered, including the common lawsuits brought against counselors and therapists using spiritual and alternative interventions (Ch 3). A unique section in the appendix describes the psychological and philosophical basis of ethical decision-making for readers who want and need a more in-depth discussion.

Abstract:

This phenomenological study explored how cancer impacted female patients or survivors while striving for personal work-life balance. Since female cancer patients and survivors encounter unique stressors, challenges, and experiences related to their cancer journey, this study examined the narratives of 10 women identified as having cancer and a comparison group matched on age via random sample for the birth year. The 20 narratives were a subset of the larger Weber (2011) sample collected by Digital Women's Project research team. The foundational theoretical framework is provided by Giele's (2008) life story method, which analyzed narratives through the lenses of identity, relationship style, drive and motivation, and adaptive styles of women.

However, this study focused on the following two themes: drive and motivation and adaptive style. The personal experiences of the ten diverse women, who received a cancer diagnosis (Group A), described ways that cancer changed their lives. The comparative sample of women without cancer diagnoses (Group B) were also analyzed along these themes. The findings reveal the differences between Group A and B with their outlook, lifestyles, and how work-life balance was navigated. Successful strategies of navigating work-life balance for the two groups were explored: faith, support systems, healthy lifestyle, resources, therapy, and hobbies.

Abstract:
The purpose of this exploratory study was to investigate whether there is any relationship between the strength of the culture in a hospital work group and the job involvement, upward striving, organizational commitment and job satisfaction of the employees within that work group. The conceptual framework for this study is the symbolic frame of reference for understanding organizational behaviour. The concept is described by Bolman and Deal (1984). Two hospitals participated in the study, which provided two data sets. Subjects were employees of certain departments within each of the hospitals. Each subject completed a four-part questionnaire. The first part collected demographic data, part two contained questions on job involvement, upward striving, and organizational commitment, part three focussed on job satisfaction, and part four was the culture strength scale. The culture strength scales were developed separately at each hospital and, therefore, contained items which were relevant to a specific facility. There were two major findings from the study. First, there is a positive relationship between job satisfaction and culture strength. Results at both hospitals were consistent in this regard. No relationships were found between job involvement, upward striving, and/or organizational commitment with culture strength. The second finding was that at the larger hospital there was a significant difference in culture strength scores among some work units, while at the smaller hospital this was not the case. This finding supports the idea that size of an organization is a factor in the predisposition to subculture formation.

Abstract:
In contemporary society, distinct traditions are bleeding into one another, blurring traditional lines of inquiry and historically significant boundaries. This phenomenon frames this project and creates the context for the Yoga-Christian praxis dialogue this study constructively critiques. Unfortunately, this dialogue exhibits an Eliadean concern for essentialism and universality. I challenge this trend by juxtaposing two distinct texts, Patañjali‘s Yoga-Sūtra and Gregory of Nyssa’s Life of Moses. These texts point to the similar idea that without striving and personal transformation neither the yogic practitioner nor practicing Christian logically subsists. More importantly, however, from this point of correspondence I constructively critique the Yoga-Christian praxis dialogue by concretely engaging these texts and paying particular attention to the differences inherent in them. My comparison, then, suggests how attention to particularity points to a more authentic dialogue: what I wish to call a dialogue of distinction without separation.

Abstract:
Syftet med denna experimentella studie var att öka kunskapen om perfektionism genom att undersöka huruvida perfektionism går att påverka, hur perfektionism påverkar prestation samt hur olika perfektionismdimensioner tar sig uttryck i olika situationer. För att undersöka detta skapades ett internetexperiment innehållande en kort version av Pennebaker’s essay writing procedure (uppsatsskrivande-uppgift), en korrekturläsningsuppgift samt självskattningsformulär för olika perfektionismdimensioner och self-compassion. Deltagarna i studien randomiserades till två olika betingelsegrupper som fick skriva om en gång då de lyckats (pos. betingelsegrupp) eller en gång då de misslyckats (neg. betingelsegrupp). Resultatet visade på ett signifikant samband mellan perfektionismdimensionen perfectionist strivings och antalet ändringar i texten hos den negativa betingelsegruppen samt ett signifikant samband mellan self-compassion och antal skrivna ord i uppsatsskrivande-uppgiften före ändring i den positiva betingelsegruppen. Resultaten visade även på signifikanta korrelationsskillnader både mellan perfektionismdimensionen perfectionist strivings och antalet ändringar i texten samt mellan self-compassion och antalet skrivna ord i uppsatsskrivande-uppgiften. Resultaten tyder på att olika perfektionismdimensioner och self-compassion blir mer framträdande samt påverkar prestation på olika sätt beroende på om situationen är positiv eller negativ.

Abstract:
Cette thèse explore le processus de poursuite d’objectif dans le milieu de travail. Basée sur la conceptualisation de la conservation des ressources, la recherche examine comment la dynamique des ressources façonne le comportement de l'individu pendant la poursuite d'un but. Dans cette recherche, trois études indépendantes examinent le mécanisme des ressources. Plus précisément, la première étude présente l'investissement de ressources personnelles comme l'auto-efficacité, l'optimisme et le bien-être subjectif en fonction de la valeur accordée au(x) résultat(s) d’atteinte d’objectifs ou à l'expérience d'effort déployé (engagement). Les données interculturelles recueillies auprès de professionels travaillant en France, au Pakistan et aux États-Unis confirment l'hypothèse de relations réciproques. La deuxième étude explore le rôle interactif curvilinéaire du soutien organisationnel perçu sur la progression de l'individu dans la réalisation de ses objectifs. Les données temporisées (time-lagged data) recueillies auprès de professeurs d'université travaillant aux États-Unis confirment la relation curvilinéaire entre le “grit” et les progression vers l’objectif. Le lien entre soutien organisationnel perçu et les progression vers l’objectif semble être linéaire. La troisième étude de cette thèse teste le mécanisme par lequel la peur de l'échec peut prédire un comportement contraire à l'éthique. Cette étude explore également le rôle modérateur de la conscience et de l'attention morale durant ce processus. La recherche actuelle contribue au domaine en testant divers modèles en milieu de travail
This dissertation explores the goal-striving process in work settings. Based on the conservation of resources conceptualization, the current research examines how resource dynamics shape individual's behavior during goal pursuit. In this research three independent studies probe the resource mechanism. Specifically, the first study presents the investment of personal resources like self-efficacy, optimism and subjective well-being based on the value placed on end result(s) (goal attainment) or striving experience (goal commitment). Cross-cultural data collected from salespeople working in France, Pakistan and the USA support the hypothesized reciprocal relationships. The second study explores the curvilinear interactive role of grit and perceived organizational support in an individual's goal progress. Time lagged data collected from university professors working in the USA confirm the curvilinear relationship between grit and goal progress. The linkage between perceived organizational support and goal progress appears to be linear. The third study of this dissertation tests the mechanism through which fear of goal failure can predict unethical behavior. This study also explores the moderating role of conscientiousness and moral attentiveness during this process. The current research contributes to the field by testing various hypothesized models in work settings

Abstract Since I was born, the world I watched is dim. This cognition is what a normal world in my mind, and I think that everyone’s world is the same with mine. Until I was on the elementary school, I just had discovered that I was different with others. Since the moment, I had begun to feel inferior gradually as I was introversion originally. I didn’t know what was wrong with me, what mistake I made and why some people ridicule and bullied me frequently? Some feelings weren’t able to be mediated and some questions weren’t able to be solved, which caused my heart more intertwine, and passed as well as bundled myself tightly and made me turn a solitary person fluttering in wilderness who could not find the significance of living.Wanting to die, I actually didn’t have the courage of suicide ; wanting to live, I ,however, didn’t have ideas of how I should survive continuously. After I am on the self-narrative’s journey, repeatedly going there and back among the past, the present and the future, the original intertwined life started to become less crowded which would enable me to see my primary appearance gradually. I also stared to learn how to face, admit, accept and love myself then to develop the new life-strength to assist me to feel more unrestricted and how coexist with myself, so that I could have the courage to create my own future. This is the story about me, the story about my life, and also is the story about seeking and creating myself. Key words：self-narrative, narrative research, life-story

Full text
Abstract:
This study explored how personal strivings constructs of Goal Conflict and Complementarity and primary appraisal dimensions of Motivational Relevance and Congruence (separately and in combination), related across time to immediate and long-term effects of a stressful transaction. The study was located within the transactional model of stress and integrated aspects of motivational theory, focusing on the theoretical position that within the stressful transaction the relationship between motivational factors and the individual response to an event is mediated by cognitive processes, including appraisal. Advances in transactional theory highlight the role of motivational factors (such as personal strivings) as linked to primary appraisal in the form of Motivational Relevance and Congruence. The utility of personal strivings in exploring the role of motivational factors in the stress process were highlighted. Despite an increasing theoretical focus on motivation and appraisal, research in the area is limited. Data was collected for the study through the administration of questionnaires to university students (N=152) prior to (time 1) and into (time 2) an examination period. The questionnaires used a range of self-report measures. Correlations, partial correlations and ANOVAs were used to analyze the data. The findings indicated that Goal Complementarity and Conflict directly influenced primary appraisal processes but not affective and wellbeing outcomes. It was proposed that primary appraisal processes were the conduit through which the impact of Goal Complementarity and Conflict were expressed within the stressful transaction. The results also suggested the impact of anticipatory Motivational Relevance which seemed to imply a highly “loaded” event with negative affective and long-term consequences into the event. Subjects entering the event wit h an “optimistic” demeanour indicated by high anticipatory Congruence and positive affect had increased Congruence into the event with consequent amplified positive emotions and dampened negative effects. Subjects with high anticipatory Relevance and low Congruence across the event had relatively higher scores on negative outcomes. High anticipatory Relevance and Congruence was associated with negative immediate and long-term outcomes into the event. High Relevance Congruence was generally associated with a strong emotional response, which also elicited strong positive emotion as the event unfolded. Subjects with low Relevance did not seem to hold as strong an investment in the event and reported reduced emotions and symptomology. These findings were discussed in relation to the stress, appraisal and motivation literature and their limitations and implications were explored.

Mills, Robyn Anne. "Participatory Action Research in a Psychiatric Unit: Striving Towards Optimal Practices." 2006. http://eprints.vu.edu.au/474/1/474contents.pdf.

Full text
Abstract:
The experiences of working in an acute psychiatric unit were investigated in this research using multiple qualitative methodologies, particularly Reflective Topical Autobiography and Participatory Action Research. The Participatory Action Research was undertaken in an acute psychiatric unit of a major public hospital in Melbourne. The collaborative design focused on bringing staff and consumers of psychiatric services together with an aim to develop new work practices for mental health practitioners. Four consumer consultants including a Koori representative participated in this study. Consumer consultants and staff, working in collaboration with the researcher, informed the fluid and iterative research process. Data included thirty eight interviews with psychiatric health professionals (2 psychiatrists, 2 managers, 6 psychiatric registrars and 28 nurses, including two charge nurses). Horizontal violence, and its impact on the capacity for reflexive work practices, became a strong emergent theme. Other emergent and important themes included workplace hierarchy, values, power, and the impact of critical incidents and supervision. Ego-state theory was utilised to better understand the psychology of staff members, and Organisational Egostate theory was presented as an original concept to explore the psychiatric unit as an organism having its own personality characteristics. It was concluded that for there to be permanent and iterative change to the organisation that engrained automatic responses of the organisation need to be identified and new responses developed. The research resulted in a number of new work practice recommendations, including the establishment of non-discriminatory review processes where work practices that are viewed as inappropriate by staff and consumers can be assessed with consideration to the importance of all stakeholders. Specific insights and conclusions have been suggested in relation to the treatment of aboriginal (Koori) people in the psychiatric unit. A central conclusion from this study was that psychiatric staff and consumers need more inclusion in the design and review of work practices.
