The findings suggest that organizations will benefit not only from developing interventions to enrich employees’ work skills, behaviors/attitudes but also from promoting their mental health and emotional stability. This study is the first to confirm the partial mediation role of workto-family enhancement between emotional stability and mental health, and bidirectional relations of work-to-family enhancement and mental health.

The scale measures parent-oriented (amusement, anxiety, frustration) and infant-oriented (sympathy and empathy) emotional reactions to a child’s crying, which has been defined as the most obvious early attachment behaviour. A total of 495 parents of small children (including 376 mothers, no couples) took part in the study. Females were M = 27.79 ( SD = 5.01) years old on average, whereas mean age of men was M = 31.71 ( SD = 5.37) years. The majority of participants (74.90%) had one child. The average age of the assessed child was M = 9.17 months ( SD = 4.43). Reliability and validity properties of the scale are presented. results The results confirmed the five-factor model, which showed adequate fit indices. The SER-PD has adequate internal con-sistency. The criterion-related validity of the scale was estab-lished by correlating five dimensions of parental emotional reactions to the child’s crying with measures of dispositional empathy and contextually neutral emotional reactions. The SER-PD gives the opportunity for broader analyses of the parental responsiveness construct. It is a useful tool to examine parent-child interactions easily and noninva-sively, in large samples, and in situations where qualitative data might be difficult to obtain.","PeriodicalId":43067,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Personality Psychology","volume":"90 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78077609","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}

In the present exploratory study, we examined two factors of a psychological model toward understanding the underpinnings of indecision, namely: self-critical cognition as a predisposition to indecision and decreased hope as a post-decision behavior of indecision. Self-critical cognition is the tendency for selfrelated thoughts to be critical and defeating. It is hypothesized to predict indecision as self-critical individuals are likely to also doubt their competence at tasks such as decision-making and may, in turn, delay. Decreased hope is hypothesized to be an outcome of indecision as the latter is related to anxiety, worry, and life regret.","PeriodicalId":43067,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Personality Psychology","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78701225","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}
