The current study aimed to test the hypothesis that a newly developed multi-component 8-week Positive Psychology Intervention (PPI) programme for children could lead to a significant decrease in negative emotion, state anxiety, trait anxiety, and a significant increase in hope and positive emotions. Participants were recruited online and assigned randomly to the experimental and control groups with equal sample sizes (N = 8) groups for this study. Each participant completed a battery of self-reported questionnaires before and after the completion of the programme. Measurements included Hope, STAI, PANAS and demographic self-reported questionnaires. Hope and positive emotions increased, whereas negative emotions, trait anxiety and state anxiety decreased. The results supported our hypothesis that PPIs could be considered a successful alternative intervention or prevention for children.
There is scarce research regarding attitudes toward polyamory in different socio-cultural contexts. This study examines the role of socio-cultural variance and the situatedness of particular variables (i.e., attitudes toward monogamy, religiosity, political orientation, attitudes toward polyamorists’ parental competence, and concern for polyamorous children’s welfare) in predicting negative attitudes towards polyamory. Two hundred and fifty participants were recruited for this study. A between-subject, correlational design was employed. The findings of this study only partially support the role of context-related socio-cultural and social-psychological factors in determining participants’ attitudes toward polyamory. This study contributes to the literature and research in this field by reporting the transformative potential of context-related socio-cultural and social-psychological factors that affect commonly shared attitudes toward polyamory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
