“…Therefore, it may be beneficial to assess for dispositional hope in parents of children with cancer to identify those at greater risk. Capitalization- and strengths-based therapeutic approaches may also be beneficial (Cheavens, Strunk, Lazarus, & Goldstein, 2012; Sheridan & Burt, 2009), and clinicians can build upon this strength in parents using specific strategies to enhance hope (e.g., Gum & Snyder, 2002) and facilitate growth during this challenging life event. For those parents who do have lower dispositional hope, they may benefit from cognitive-behavioral interventions to enhance hope (e.g., Cheavens, Feldman, Gum, Michael, & Snyder, 2006; Lopez, Floyd, Ulven, & Snyder, 2000).…”

Background Posttraumatic growth (PTG), a positive change in values and major life goals experienced as a result of the struggle with a highly challenging life circumstance, has been shown to be related to the construct of hope, the belief that goals can be met. To date, no studies have examined the relationship between PTG and hope in parents of children with cancer. Procedure Participants were parents (N=85) of children and adolescents (ages 2–18 years, M = 7.72 years) receiving treatment for cancer. Parents completed a demographic questionnaire, the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), and Hope Scale (HS). Results Hope was found to be related to PTG in parents of children with cancer, with higher levels of hope associated with greater PTG. Exploratory analyses on the subscales of the PTGI revealed that hope was also related to higher scores on the Relating to Others, New Possibilities, Personal Strength, and Appreciation of Life subscales. Spiritual Change was not related to hope in parents. Conclusions Findings suggest that experiencing hope during the pediatric cancer experience may facilitate posttraumatic growth in parents. The construct of hope may be an important target of intervention for promoting positive adjustment in this population.

“…The goal here is to help clients to learn and to CHANGING PERSONALITY TRAITS 21 reinforce new behaviors and skills such as compensatory or coping skills and to learn to behave in new social roles (practice). It is likely that the clients and the interventionists' preference will determine which route to change they use initially (Cheavens, Strunk, Lazarus, & Goldstein, 2012;Flückiger & Grosse Holtforth, 2008). Most important, however, both routes may result in lasting changes (Flückiger et al, 2013;Grawe, 2004).…”

There is a recent debate in the field of personality development whether and how personality traits can be modified or changed over short periods of time. Whereas traditional positions highlight the relative stability of personality traits in adulthood, recent research investigates intentional personality trait change, that is, desires and attempts to change personality traits. The main goal of the present article is to connect recent activities and intervention efforts in personality psychology with psychotherapy process-outcome research. More specifically, we argue that 4 empirically derived common change factors in psychotherapy research might provide some useful heuristic principles for personality change interventions in normal population that do not particularly suffer from personality disorders. We discuss the implications of the use of these principles to change personality traits and suggest some ideas for future research and practice.

“…Using interventions that fit closely with identified strengths is in line with the capitalization model of interventions, which posits that treatment is more effective when it focuses on channeling participants’ strengths rather than remediating their deficits (Wingate et al, 2005). Recent empirical work found greater improvements in depressive symptoms using a capitalization approach (targeting a relative strength) compared to a compensation approach (targeting a relative weakness) (Cheavens et al, 2012). These empirical findings, in combination with the saliency of present moment focus to older adults, suggest that the benefits of mindfulness-based interventions in aging warrant additional attention.…”

Mindfulness-Based Interventions for Older Adults: a Review of the Effects on Physical and Emotional Well-Being

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This comprehensive review examined the effects of mindfulness-based interventions on the physical and emotional wellbeing of older adults, a rapidly growing segment of the general population. Search procedures yielded 15 treatment outcome studies meeting inclusion criteria. Support was found for the feasibility and acceptability of mindfulness-based interventions with older adults. Physical and emotional wellbeing outcome variables offered mixed support for the use of mindfulness-based interventions with older adults. Potential explanations of mixed findings may include methodological flaws, study limitations, and inconsistent modifications of protocols. These are discussed in detail and future avenues of research are discussed, emphasizing the need to incorporate geriatric populations into future mindfulness-based empirical research.
