It features stories of migrant women during the COVID-19 pandemic, exploring their agency within the Individual-Socio-Ecological frame of reference of I-positions in the dialogical self theory. This qualitative study on English-speaking women in Israel (N = 39) is empirically grounded in lived experiences of meaning making, mothering, family dynamics, work, and access to healthcare under conditions of lockdown. The analysis of participants’ stories resulted in identifying six overarching themes relevant to migrant women: familial roles, mental labor, voicing resistance, mindfulness, intergenerational solidarity, and transnationalism. This study provides a construct clarification of agency, introducing three levels of agency: inward, social, and societal. In particular older migrant women may appeared to be losing agency during the COVID-19 pandemic in Israel, if the focus was solely on decision making and taking action. However, this study suggests that inward I-positions, in particular as related to mental labor, seemed to flourish during the COVID-19 pandemic, when many participants could engage in a more limited way on social and societal levels.","PeriodicalId":46674,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Constructivist Psychology","volume":"36 1","pages":"317 - 336"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49355591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper considers these effects in residents of the USA, the country that has reported the highest number of deaths from COVID-19. Between April and May, 2020, responses were obtained to an on-line survey, which included asking participants, recruited by snowball sampling, to describe their worst experience of the pandemic. The responses of 741 participants, primarily female and Caucasian, were subjected to a thematic content analysis which used a primarily deductive approach in which these responses were viewed in terms of transitions in construing. The transition themes identified were anxiety; threat; loss of role; sadness; contempt; and stress. Various subthemes were also identified. The study provided further evidence of the utility of a personal construct framework in conceptualizing experiences associated with illness and the risk of this. Implications of its findings are considered at both an individual and a societal level.","PeriodicalId":46674,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Constructivist Psychology","volume":"36 1","pages":"1 - 21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41936516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It means that they adopt (at least) two different viewpoints and the utterances formulated (silently or aloud) from these viewpoints respond to one another. Internal dialogues fulfill several important functions. However, this complexity has not been reflected in how the functions of internal dialogues are measured and investigated. To provide a more nuanced picture of the functions of internal dialogues, we developed the Functions of Dialogues–Revised Questionnaire (FUND-R). Study 1 aimed to explore (n = 248) and confirm (n = 538) the internal structure of the FUND-R. Study 2 (n = 341) was designed to reconfirm this structure and examine reliability and validity of the method. In Study 1 the FUND-R has been confirmed to have six subscales, measuring six functions of internal dialogues: Analyzing, Bonding, Self-Knowing, Fantasizing, Ruminating, and Testing. Study 2 reconfirmed the structure and revealed high reliability and validity of the FUND-R. Validity was assessed via convergence with personality traits, two types of self-attentiveness, and stress-coping styles. The analysis of criterion validity also included comparison of FUND-R scores across different interlocutors, and situations discussed in dialogues. The FUND-R has been confirmed as a reliable and valid measure of functions of internal dialogues for use in research settings.","PeriodicalId":46674,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Constructivist Psychology","volume":"36 1","pages":"273 - 297"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48157826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we explore the evolution of a group of five students in the context of an context of an innovative psychology degree programme at training future professionals in educational psychology. The students carried out a professional project that involved helping schoolteachers in dealing with some of the difficulties they face in their daily work. For this purpose, they collected in situ information, made joint decisions, discussed those decisions in a digital forum with other students and professionals and prepared a proposal, which they subsequently presented for evaluation. Data obtained from mapping, individual interviews, the Personal Position Repertoire, the community identity plot and the focus group were analyzed. Through content analysis, the participants’ positions as students or professionals and the transitions between them were identified. The results show reciprocal changes in the I-positions and We-positions which influence individual and group construction of professional identity. Furthermore, these changes informed us of the educational potential of some teaching activities.","PeriodicalId":46674,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Constructivist Psychology","volume":"35 1","pages":"1347 - 1370"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59996792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The narrative emotion process coding system (NEPCS) describes how people tell stories, identifying problematic narratives: Same Old Story, Empty Story, Unstoried Emotion, and Superficial Story. These markers refer to observable narrative features rather than a story’s content. Although related to the psychotherapy process, they have not been used to predict symptom distress independently. The current study examined whether the way people recount their stories is qualitatively different depending on the types of mental health symptoms they are suffering. 160 students suffering distress over unresolved personal issues completed clinical symptom inventories of depression, anxiety, and trauma and then completed 15 minutes of expressive writing. Written accounts were reliably coded for problematic narratives using the NEPCS. When a participant’s expressive writing sample revealed one or more problematic narrative, it predicted they were suffering more symptoms of anxiety (d = .70), depression (d = .44), and trauma (d = .33); such that they either approached or surpassed clinically relevant cutoffs. Problematic narratives explained 15.2% of symptom reports about anxiety, 9.6% for depression, and 7.8% for trauma. Narratives predicted symptomatology. Same old story and superficial story were the strongest predictors and associated with all dimensions of symptom distress.","PeriodicalId":46674,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Constructivist Psychology","volume":"36 1","pages":"88 - 102"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41442713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, the study aimed to explore the role of authenticity in using IDs, their frequency and effects on well-being. Participants were 214 women and 193 men, aged between 20 and 60 years. Three methods were used: the Internal Dialogical Activity Scale-Revised, the Authenticity Inventory, and the Psychological Well-Being Scale. The results confirmed that authenticity is positively associated with well-being. The only type of IDs that highly authentic people conduct more often than those with lower authenticity are identity dialogues. This type of IDs shows a positive link with well-being, whereas the general internal dialogical activity as well as ruminative, maladaptive and confronting IDs are negatively related to well-being. It was also found that higher authenticity eliminates the negative relationship of maladaptive and confronting IDs with well-being. However, this is not the case with regard to the ruminative IDs. Moreover, it transpired that in highly authentic people perspective-changing IDs are conducive to higher well-being.","PeriodicalId":46674,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Constructivist Psychology","volume":"35 1","pages":"1328 - 1346"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47879170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In marginalized populations, the “Life as Film” (LAAF) procedure has proved useful for addressing these concerns. Building on this literature, the present study adopted the LAAF approach with an objective to undercover features distinguishing addiction and recovery narratives. Achieving this objective serves to model addiction and recovery in terms of narrative constructions and reconstructions. Thirty-two participants, active or in recovery from addiction, were recruited, producing LAAF narratives of their lives. Interviewees completed a Recovery Inventory (RI), to compare narrative material with recovery outcomes. Content analysis revealed three structures: (1) a high prevalence Core Plot, featuring interpersonal conflict, negative arousal and self-management via substance use; (2) an Addiction Narrative, with themes of victimization, betrayal, compulsion, and escapist protagonists; and (3) a Recovery Narrative, with themes of redemption, self-mastery, caring, unity, and healer protagonists. Findings build on existing literature, suggesting narrative processes through which core conflicts become embedded in addiction stories and resolved in recovery stories. These processes indicate psychological pathways to positive change, carrying implications for interventions.","PeriodicalId":46674,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Constructivist Psychology","volume":"35 1","pages":"1301 - 1327"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46748817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To examine the impact of Whiteness on practitioner construct systems, mental health practitioners’ constructions and preference for non-White and White people, as well as frameworks of Whiteness and non-Whiteness, were explored. Twenty White and non-White mental health practitioners and trainees were purposively sampled and interviewed using an adapted version of the laddering interview technique. Data was analyzed thematically and interpreted using Personal Construct Theory—the theoretical framework that informed the study. The findings reiterate those found in research literature which highlights the persistent role of Whiteness on constructs of non-Whiteness, as well as on White and non-White people. The results suggest that a potential shift has occurred in the discourse on constructions of White and non-White people amongst mental health practitioners. This shift may be the movement away from being blind to difference and acknowledgement of the inequities and inequalities experienced by diverse groups. The implications of such a shift allow both White and non-White people increased opportunities for access to and engagement with supports aimed at improving psychological wellbeing.","PeriodicalId":46674,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Constructivist Psychology","volume":"35 1","pages":"1037 - 1057"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43608857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
