“…Studies with adolescents have demonstrated that social interest is negatively correlated with psychopathology and involvement with juvenile courts (Newbauer & Stone, 2010) and positively correlated with life satisfaction (Gilman, 2001), racial identity development (Willow, 2008), and social connectedness (Schwartz, Meisenhelder, Ma, & Reed, 2003). Among adults, social interest is significantly correlated with hope and optimism (Barlow, Tobin, & Schmidt, 2009), mental and physical health (Schwartz et al, 2003; Zarski, Bubenzer, & West, 1986), positive coping (Kern, Gfroerer, Summers, & Curlette, 1996), and recovery from depressive episodes (Zauszniewski, 1995).…”

Attachment has been shown to play a significant role in adult romantic relationships, and there is substantial evidence supporting the use of attachment-based interventions with couples. Prevailing conceptualizations of dyadic functioning often incorporate biological and psychological factors, such as attachment, but often limit their scope of social factors to the dyad itself. Such conceptualizations do not attend to the relationship between couples and their wider community. Awareness of social and community values is much more common in individual therapy but has not been integrated into couple's work. In this article, we propose a biopsychosocial foundation for viewing the relationship between couples and their wider community through the lens of attachment, in which securely attached couples are more likely to have community interest congruence and insecurely attached couples are more likely to experience incongruence. Translating this theoretical foundation into practice, we also propose a stepwise approach for integrating community interest work into the established framework of emotionally focused therapy with couples.

“…Research conducted on the benefits of altruism proposes that helping attitudes are linked with better life adjustment (Crandall & Lehman, 1977), perceived meaningfulness of life (Crandall, 1984;Mozdzierz, Greenblatt & Murphy, 1986), marital adjustment (Markowski & Greenwood, 1984), less hopelessness (Miller, Denton & Tobacyk, 1986) and depression (Crandall, 1975). Also, altruism has been perceived to be a predictor of physical health status (Zarski, Bubenzer& West, 1986) and a moderator of life stress (Crandall, 1978).…”

The aim of the present study was to explore the relationship between helping attitude and psychological well-being, and to determine if there are significant differences in helping attitude and psychological well-being between older widowed women living with their families and those living in old age homes. This study focused on the six dimensions of psychological well-being proposed by Ryff (1989b).A purposive sampling method was employed to select older widowed women aged between 65 – 74 years (20 living with families and 20 in old age homes). The Helping Attitude Scale (Nickell,1998) and the Psychological Well-being Scales (Ryff, 1989) were administered to the participants to measure the two variables. The obtained data were statistically treated using Product Moment Correlation and t-test. The study found that there is a significant correlation between helping attitude and purpose in life in older widowed women living with their families. It was also found that older widowed women living with their families scored significantly higher than older widowed women living in old age homes in two dimensions of the psychological well-being scales: environmental mastery and self-acceptance. Such an understanding may be helpful in designing intervention programmes to foster and maintain well-being in older widowed women.

This study investigated the demographic, intrapersonal, and organizational factors associated with burnout among a population of school counselors in the northeastern United States (n = 78). Three hierarchical regression analyses were completed to determine the amount of variance that each cluster contributed to the 3 subscales on the Maslach Burnout Inventory‐Educators Survey (MBI‐ES; C. M. Maslach, S. E. Jackson, & M. P. Leiter, 1996): Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalization, and Personal Accomplishment. The final models accounted for 45%, 30%, and 42% of the overall variation on each subscale, respectively.
