“…The mediation models we tested supported our hypothesis in Study 1, and provided partial support in Study 2, though we acknowledge that as the mediators were not experimentally manipulated, we cannot be sure of the direction of these relationships. However, our findings are in line with experience sampling studies which have found associations between state Openness and both self‐esteem (Magee & Biesanz, 2019) and positive affect (Wilson et al, 2016). Additionally, trait‐level studies suggest that changes in Openness may occur through feelings of mastery and self‐empowerment (Mühlig‐Versen et al, 2012; Zimmermann & Neyer, 2013).…”

“…Increased feelings of self‐esteem may also mediate the effect of nostalgia on Openness. Self‐esteem has been positively associated with Openness at both the trait (von Soest, Wagner, Hansen, & Gerstorf, 2018; Zeigler‐Hill et al, 2015), and state level (Magee & Biesanz, 2019). Further, self‐esteem is linked with feelings of mastery and successful navigation of one's environment (Lyubomirsky, Tkach, & DiMatteo, 2006).…”

Objective Personality change is a growing field of interest, but relatively few studies have examined causes of change in Openness. We investigated whether it is possible to influence state Openness, and through what mechanisms this effect may occur. Method In two experiments (Study 1: N = 144, Mage = 36.4, 58% female, 88% White; Study 2: N = 269, Mage = 34.0, 60% female, 91% White), participants reflected on and wrote about a personal experience requested to be either: nostalgic; positive and novel (Study 1); positive or novel (Study 2); or ordinary. They rated the events for nostalgia, positivity, novelty, and sociality, and completed measures of state positive affect, self‐esteem, social connectedness, meaning in life, and state Openness. Results Participants who recalled positive and/or novel events reported greater state Openness than those who recalled ordinary events. In Study 1, this also applied to those recalling nostalgic events. Event ratings of positivity (both studies), nostalgia and novelty (Study 2) independently predicted state Openness. State positive affect and self‐esteem were independent predictors in both studies, suggesting possible indirect paths. Conclusions Reflecting on nostalgic, positive, and novel experiences can increase state Openness. This finding may be useful for interventions targeting trait‐level change.

“…Socially prescribed perfectionism, with its focus on trying to meet unrealistic standards set by others and society, and excessive rumination over failure [ 87 ], is also likely to impede progress towards emotional adaptation following a relationship break-up. Lastly, emotional adaptation to relationship dissolution was positively associated to individual differences well known to promote resilience in the face of stressors, and which have more of an outward versus inward focus, including emotional intelligence [ 95 ], honesty/humility [ 96 ], extraversion, and agreeableness [ 97 ].…”

Emotional adaptation to relationship dissolution in parents and non-parents: A new conceptual model and measure

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Relationship dissolution can cause declines in emotional well-being, particularly if there are children involved. Individuals’ capacity to cope with the pragmatics of the situation, such as agreeing childcare arrangements, can be impaired. Before now, there has been no psychometric test to evaluate individuals’ emotional readiness to cope with these demands. This paper presents a model of emotional adaptation in the context of relationship dissolution and its key assumptions, and validates the Emotional Adaptation to Relationship Dissolution Assessment (EARDA). In Study 1 (Sample 1, n = 573 separated parents, Sample 2, n = 199 mix of parents and non-parents), factor analyses support the EARDA as a unidimensional scale with good reliability. In Study 2 (using Sample 1, and Sample 3, n = 156 separated parents) the convergent, discriminant, concurrent criterion-related, and incremental validity of the EARDA were supported by tests of association with stress, distress, attachment style, and co-parenting communication and conflict. In Study 3, the nomological network of emotional adaptation to relationship dissolution was explored in Sample 2 using cluster analysis and multi-dimensional scaling (MDS). Emotional adaptation clustered with positive traits and an outward focus, and was negatively associated with negative traits and an inward focus. Emotional adaptation was conceptually located in close proximity to active and adaptive coping, and furthest away from maladaptive coping. In Study 4 ( n = 30 separated parents embarking on mediation), high, medium, and low emotional adaptation to relationship dissolution categories correlated highly with mediators’ professional judgement, offering triangulated face validity. Finally, in Study 5, EARDA scores were found to mediate between separation characteristics (time since break up, whether it was a shock, and who initiated the break up) and co-parenting conflict in Sample 1, supporting the proposed model. The theoretical innovation of this work is the introduction of a new construct that bridges the gap between relationship dissolution and co-parenting. Practical implications include the use of the measure proposed to triage levels of support in a family law setting.

“…Mall personality and shoppers' well-being Shoppers' well-being is known to be an outcome of various cognitive and behavioural experiences encountered by shoppers in the mall (Magee and Biesanz, 2019). Mall environment significantly affects shoppers' behaviour and experiences (Barros et al, 2019;Michon et al, 2008;Tandon et al, 2016) and these experiences influence shoppers' well-being (Lee et al, 2002).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the association between mall personality, hedonic and utilitarian shopping value, and shoppers' well-being. The moderating effect of compulsive shopping on the association between both hedonic and utilitarian shopping value, and shoppers' well-being is also investigated.Design/methodology/approachThis study is quantitative in nature, and a purposive sampling technique is used. Data was collected through mall intercept survey. The authors collected 431 usable responses from respondents at two different malls in Lahore, Pakistan. PLS-SEM was employed to test the proposed hypotheses.FindingsResults indicate that mall personality significantly and positively influences both hedonic and utilitarian shopping value and shoppers' well-being. Similarly, hedonic shopping value has a significant and positive impact on shoppers' well-being, while utilitarian shopping value has a non-significant relationship with shoppers' well-being. Moreover, while compulsive shopping behaviour moderates the positive relationship between hedonic shopping value and shoppers' well-being, it does not moderate the relationship between utilitarian shopping value and shoppers' well-being.Originality/valueDespite the extant studies on brand and store personality on numerous retail outcomes, no study has examined the association between mall personality and shoppers' well-being. Another key contribution of this study is to examine moderation effect of compulsive shopping on the association between shopping value and shoppers' well-being. Additionally, this study enlightens mall administration to emphasise upon mall personality and hedonic shopping value so as to enhance shoppers' well-being, more so if its product assortment encourages compulsive shopping.
