“…We can also explain this result from the perspective of self‐esteem. Numerous studies have found that mindfulness can positively predict self‐esteem (Bajaj, Robins & Pande, ; Pepping, O’Donovan & Davis, ; Randal, Pratt & Bucci, ; Sang, ). Moreover, previous studies have found that self‐esteem can negatively predict malicious envy (Vrabel, Zeigler‐Hill & Southard, ).…”

W. (2020). How mindfulness affects benign and malicious envy from the perspective of the mindfulness reperceiving model. Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, 61, 436-442.At present, mindfulness is a hotspot in psychological research. Mindfulness is an effective tool that enables people to effectively inhibit negative emotions. Previous studies have shown that envy is a typical negative emotion; however, envy can be divided into two completely different types: benign envy and malicious envy. The question then arises, how does mindfulness affect both types of envy? Using a mindfulness reperceiving model, we explored the effect of mindfulness on these two different types of envy and on the mediating mechanism of psychological resilience. To accomplish this, we recruited 676 Chinese undergraduates to complete the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), the Benign and Malicious Envy Scale (BEMAS) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). The results we obtained showed that mindfulness and psychological resilience significantly and negatively predicted malicious envy and that psychological resilience played a partially mediating role in the relationship. In addition, the results showed that there was no significant effect between mindfulness and benign envy; however, psychological resilience can significantly and positively predict benign envy and played a completely mediating role between mindfulness and benign envy. These results effectively extend theories based on the mindfulness reperceiving model while also being important for promoting benign envy and inhibiting malicious envy in terms of improving mindfulness and psychological resilience.

“…While psycho-oncological research and care has historically been focused on deficits such as distress, anxiety, and depression, in recent years, a newer resource-oriented perspective has been established. Several factors have been proposed as resources: dispositional optimism (Carver, Scheier, & Segerström, 2010), self-efficacy (Luszczynska, Gutiérrez-Doña, & Schwarzer, 2005), self-esteem (Randal, Pratt, & Bucci, 2015), resilience (Luthar, Cicchetti, & Becker, 2000) and sense of coherence (Antonovsky, 1993). Although many clinicians have long been convinced that QoL and mental health impairments are primarily influenced by clinical factors, psychological resource variables have also been found to contribute to the prediction of QoL outcomes (Kostka & Jachimowicz, 2010).…”

The influence of self-efficacy and resilient coping on cancer patients’ quality of life

et al. 2018

The objective of this study was to analyse whether general self‐efficacy and resilient coping are negatively impacted when people are sick with cancer (compared with people from the general population), and whether these resource variables predict quality of life outcomes in that patient group. A sample of 959 patients recruited in an oncologic rehabilitation clinic was examined once while hospitalised and once again six months thereafter. The outcome variables were quality of life (EORTC QLQ‐C30) and distress (PHQ‐4). The resource variables were self‐efficacy (General Self‐Efficacy Scale) and resilient coping (Brief Resilient Coping Scale). Representative samples of the general population served as controls. Self‐efficacy (d = 0.08) and resilient coping (d = 0.28) were only slightly lower in the patients’ sample than in the general population. Both resource variables were associated with quality of life, but self‐efficacy (and not resilient coping) was the only independent predictor of quality of life functioning scales and distress scores when the baseline values of the dependent variables were also taken into account. Strengthening patients’ belief in their own ability to cope with the disease may help them retain and/or regain a higher level of quality of life.

“…The tool has been applied in the fields of psychology and environmental behavior change (e.g., Fraser & Lock ; Randal et al. ). It examines selection bias (sample representativeness of the target population, response rate); study design (type of design, use and method of randomization); confounders (identification and control of potential differences between groups prior to the intervention); blinding (assessor awareness of participant intervention status, participant awareness of the research question); data‐collection methods (validity and reliability of data collection tools); and withdrawals and dropouts (reporting of withdrawals and dropouts in terms of numbers or reasons, percentage of participants completing the study).…”

Zoos and aquariums are increasingly incorporating conservation education into their mission statements and visitor experiences to address global biodiversity loss. To advance knowledge and practice in the field, research is being conducted to evaluate the effect of zoo conservation-education experiences on visitor psychosocial outcomes (e.g., knowledge, attitude, emotions, motivations, behavior). Following recent discussions among scholars and practitioners concerning logistical and methodological challenges that likely undermine the conclusions of such research, we identified and reviewed the methods and reporting practices in peer-reviewed articles published in English from May 1998 to June 2016 that focused on adult visitor samples (47 articles, 48 studies). We examined elements of internal, external, construct, and statistical conclusion validity. Methodological quality of quantitative methods and reporting practices was determined using the Effective Public Health Practice Project Quality Assessment Tool. Each study was coded as either strong (no weak ratings), moderate (1 weak rating), or weak (≥2 weak ratings). The quantitative methods of 83.3% of studies were weak. The remaining 16.7% had methods of moderate quality. Using an existing checklist, we also assessed the quality and rigor of qualitative methods and reporting practices and found that some aspects of these methods were reported more comprehensively than others. For example, 69.6% of articles discussed methods for identifying key themes from the data, whereas only 34.8% reported how data verification was performed. We suggest increased application of intensive longitudinal methods (e.g., daily diary) to strengthen self-reported data, experimental and repeated-measures designs, and mixed-methods approaches. Our findings and recommendations could strengthen and guide the research and evaluation agenda for the field and ultimately enhance the contribution zoos make to global biodiversity conservation.
