Emotional Dissonance and Burnout: The Moderating Role of Team Reflexivity and Re ‐Evaluation
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to better understand the relationship between emotional dissonance and burnout by exploring the buffering effects of re‐evaluation and team reflexivity. The study was conducted with a sample of 445 nurses and healthcare assistants from a general hospital. Team reflexivity was evaluated with the validation of the French version of the team reflexivity scale (Facchin, Tschan, Gurtner, Cohen, & Dupuis, 2006). Burnout was measured with the MBI General Survey (Schaufeli, Leiter, Maslach, & Jackson, 1996). Emotional dissonance and re‐evaluation were measured with the scale de...

A Reciprocal Effects Model of the Temporal Ordering of Coping and Defenses
This study aimed to examine how coping and defenses are related over time, using a two‐wave cross‐lagged panel design. Coping and defenses were assessed before and after a sport competition in a sample of 296 competitive athletes. Partial least squares path modeling results showed that (a) pre‐competitive mature defenses predicted increases in the use of task‐oriented coping during competition; (b) pre‐competitive immature defenses predicted an increase in the use of disengagement‐oriented coping during competition; and (c) pre‐competitive task‐oriented coping predicted an increase in the use of immature de...

Money Matters: Recommendations for Financial Stress Research in Occupational Health Psychology
Abstract
Money is arguably the most important resource derived from work and the most important source of stress for contemporary employees. A substantial body of research supports the relationship between access to financial resources and health and well‐being, both at individual and aggregated (e.g. national) levels of analysis. Yet, surprisingly little occupational health psychology research has paid attention to financial issues experienced specifically by those in the labour force. With these issues in mind, the overarching goal of the present paper was to address conceptual and measurement issues in the study of ob...

Cardiac Disease‐Induced Post‐traumatic Stress Symptoms (CDI‐PTSS) Among Patients' Partners
Abstract
It is well established that a patient's partner can be deeply affected by the traumatizing nature of the patient's illness. Yet, no study to date has focused on post‐traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) among partners of patients coping with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The current study's main aims were to address this gap and to evaluate cardiac disease‐induced (CDI) PTSS prevalence in partners of patients who experienced ACS. Patients who experienced ACS and their partners were interviewed by telephone 2 to 6 months after patients' hospitalization. All patients and partners were screened for CDI‐PTSS. ...

Savouring and Self‐compassion as Protective Factors for Depression
Abstract
Within positive psychology, researchers and clinicians vocalize the need to expand upon how the treatment for major depressive disorder is conceptualized and implemented. The impetus of the current study was to examine preliminary criteria for identifying savouring and self‐compassion as protective factors for depression. Undergraduate students (N = 133) completed a series of surveys at two points in time, 5 weeks apart. Results revealed that savouring and self‐compassion were inversely related to depression scores cross‐sectionally and prospectively. However, savouring was the only positive psychologi...

Psychological Vulnerability and Subjective Happiness: The Mediating Role of Hopelessness
Abstract
The current study examined the mediating role of hopelessness on the relationship between psychological vulnerability and subjective happiness. It was anticipated that hopelessness may act as a mediator in the relationship between psychological vulnerability and subjective happiness. Two hundred sixty‐nine (150 women and 119 men) university students completed the Psychological Vulnerability Scale, the Subjective Happiness Scale and the Beck Hopelessness Scale. Data have been collected in the 2013–2014 academic year. The present study was designed as a cross‐sectional study. Correlational results indicated th...

Approach Behaviour, Stress and Substance Use in Young Adults
Abstract
We investigated the interaction between approach behaviours (measured through performance on a resource‐gathering task) and self‐reported global life stress to predict substance use. Our hypothesis that high levels of approach behaviour in combination with high life stress would predict elevated substance use was guided by the reinforcement sensitivity theory (Gray & McNaughton, ). Ninety‐three young adult students (61 women and 32 men) completed a computerized resource‐gathering task and questionnaires assessing global life stress and substance use. Consistent with the hypothesis, approach behaviour w...

Investigation of Sex Differences In sIgA Response to the Trier Social Stress Test
Abstract
Acute stressors can activate the immune system. While many immune system diseases disproportionally affect women, sex differences in adaptive immune response to acute, psychosocial stressors remain to be investigated. The present study tested the hypothesis that female participants experience increased immune response to acute psychosocial stress relative to male participants. Salivary secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) was assessed before and after the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) and at two time points during a recovery period in healthy male (n = 25) and female (n = 24) participants. Exposure to the T...

Moderating Role of Acculturation in a Mediation Model of Work –Family Conflict among Chinese Immigrants in New Zealand
This study examined the antecedents of work–family conflict (WFC) and the mediation effects of WFC on well‐being consequences among Chinese immigrants to New Zealand, along with the moderating role of acculturation. Four types of WFC were explored: time‐based and strain‐based work interference with family, and time‐based and strain‐based family interference with work. Data were collected from 577 Chinese immigrants in New Zealand, who had full‐time or part‐time work and lived with family members in New Zealand. The four types of WFC were differentially related to the antecedents and well‐being consequence...

Economic Stress and Mental Health: The Relationship Between the Stock Market and Neurotic Disorder Doctor Visits
Abstract
This paper investigates the relationship between the stock market and the neurotic disorder doctor visits. We use aggregate data, partition the population by age and gender and examine the impact of changes in the stock market on neurotic disorders. Using doctor visits as a proxy measure of morbidity, we find evidence of some relationship between neurotic disorder morbidity and stock market variations. A stock market falling in a single day and the accumulation of daily stock market drops are both associated with more neurotic disorder doctor visits. We also observe more neurotic disorder doctor visits during peri...
