{"title":"EMPATHY AND CLASSROOM CLIMATE AS PREDICTORS OF STUDENT’S WELL-BEING: AN INTERNATIONAL PILOT STUDY","authors":"Manja Veldin, A. Kozina, T. Perše, M. Vidmar, I. Jugović, M. Oskarsson","doi":"10.36315/2019inpact072","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.36315/2019inpact072","url":null,"abstract":"One of the key ingredients of social, emotional and intercultural competencies, which contributes significantly to a positive and inclusive classroom climate is empathy (Zorza, 2015). Empathy enables us to understand others and feel connected with them (Eisenberg, et al., 1996). High ability of empathy, which includes cognitive (e.g. taking the perspective of another) and emotional components (e.g. personal distress), is associated with numerous positive effects on relationships and behaviour (e.g. prosocial behaviour), while the lack of it is associated with many negative effects (e.g. aggression) (Davis, 1980). Establishment of positive relationships with others and empathy are associated with psychological wellbeing of students (Shanafelt et al, 2005). The aim of the present study was to analyse the associations between empathy, perceived classroom climate and well-being among students of the 8th-grade. We will present the analysis from three EU countries (N: Slovenia: 107, Sweden: 86, and Croatia: 79) who participated in the pilot of the European Erasmus KA3+ Hand in Hand project. We analysed predictive power of empathy (IRI; Davis, 1980) and the perceived classroom climate (Positive class climate; Stöber, 2002) on the well-being (WEMWBS; Stewart-Brown et al., 2011). Results show, that in all countries, personal distress (one component of empathy) is an important predictor of the student’s well-being. Results are discussed in light of guidelines for school practice.","PeriodicalId":295945,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Applications and Trends 2019","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132361917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"MINDFULNESS, SELF-ESTEEM, AND BURNOUT IN COUNSELORS AND PSYCHOLOGISTS WORKING AT SCHOOLS","authors":"G. Bulgan","doi":"10.36315/2019inpact035","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.36315/2019inpact035","url":null,"abstract":"Burnout is a struggle of today’s workforce and is regarded as a risk factor for mental health professionals working with countless social, emotional, and career related issues. Understanding the role of resources would help with its prevention and early intervention. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of mindfulness and self-esteem as possible resources in relation to burnout in counselors and psychologists working at schools. Data were collected from 338 (229 females and 109 males) counselors and psychologists working at public schools in Turkey, among them 184 (54.4%) were counselors and 154 (45.6%) were psychologists. Participants’ age ranged between 21 and 51 with a mean of 31.41 (SD = 8.09). Data were collected using a Demographic Information Form, and Turkish versions of the Mindful Awareness Attention Scale (Brown & Ryan, 2003; Özyeşil, Arslan, Kesici, & Deniz, 2011), the Self-Liking Subscale of the Two Dimensional Self-Esteem: Self-Liking and Self-Competence Scale (Doğan, 2011; Tafarodi & Swann, 2001), and the Burnout Measure Short Version (Pines, 2005; Tümkaya, Çam, & Çavuşoğlu, 2009). The internal consistencies of the scales in the current study were .87, .85, and .90 respectively. The results indicated no significant differences between the genders of the participants on variables of mindfulness, self-esteem, and burnout. There were significant negative correlations between mental health professionals’ mindfulness and burnout levels (r =-.34; p < .001) and their self-esteem and burnout levels (r = -.53; p < .001). In addition, there were positive relationships between mental health professionals’ mindfulness and self-esteem levels (r = .39; p < .001). Results of multiple regression analyses indicated that mindfulness and self-esteem accounted for 30.2% of variance in mental health professionals’ burnout levels. In addition, mindfulness (β = -.15, p < .01) and self-esteem (β = -.47, p< .001) both uniquely contributed to burnout. Considering that mindfulness and self-esteem had significant unique contributions to burnout, teaching simple yet effective interventions and strategies for increasing mindfulness and self-esteem during their undergraduate program could be useful in preventing counselor and psychologist burnout in later years. As school counselors and psychologists feel more resourceful in preventing and dealing with burnout, they would be more effective in their work with students. Based on the results, the counseling and psychology curriculums could be reconstructed by including courses that focus on mindfulness based practices and those that strengthen one’s relationship with himself/herself. Including courses such as positive psychology or increasing happiness and wellbeing could be valuable goals to focus on within the future directions of the counseling field.","PeriodicalId":295945,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Applications and Trends 2019","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126643611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current clinical care guidelines for this population have generally been obtained through expert knowledge and fail to consider the contribution and perspectives of key stakeholders with an insider perspective such as youth and their caregivers. As such, a semi-structured focus-group and interview were conducted to explore the experiences and perspectives of four GV youth with ASD. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed for themes. The key themes identified were: 1) a clear understanding of their gender identity and related needs 2) significant perceived stigma related to their ASD diagnosis, 3) recognition of how ASD identity and gender identity intersect and impact one another, 4) complexities of medical systems can be challenging to navigate for youth with ASD, so a comprehensive team approach to services is important. This study seeks to increase our understanding of this population and contribute to improving the quality of clinical services for this transgender youth with ASD.","PeriodicalId":295945,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Applications and Trends 2019","volume":"185 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121927734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
