El propósito de este artículo es presentar los resultados de una investigación acerca de la relación entre las fortalezas y la presencia de conductas de riesgo de los adolescentes atendidos en los ...diversos programas de la Corporación Juan Bosco de la ciudad de Cali, Colombia. Tomando como base la perspectiva del desarrollo positivo, se realizó un estudio correlacional comparando 188 adolescentes de la Corporación, clasificados en dos grupos según su tiempo de vinculación. Asimismo, se seleccionó otro grupo conformado por 81 adolescentes del sector, no vinculados a la Corporación Juan Bosco. Se utilizaron los instrumentos de fortalezas y factores de protección adaptados para México y Colombia; y para las conductas de riesgo se utilizó el inventario de conductas de riesgo de Andrade Palos y Betancourt Ocampo (2008). Los resultados demostraron que las fortalezas externas relacionadas con las figuras parentales y los pares resultan más decisivas para que los adolescentes no se involucren en conductas de riesgo.
The present study had the objective of analysing the relationship between Emotional Intelligence, Positive Affect, VIA's virtues and character strengths. Additionally, it was explored if Emotional ...Intelligence predicted the virtue's levels of the participants, and if Positive Affect constituted a possible mediator. To that end, different measures were used: 419 undergraduate students completed the Spanish version of the Trait Meta-Mood Scale for emotional intelligence (TMMS, Fernández-Berrocal, Extremera & Ramos, 2004). Character strenghts and virtues were assessed with the Values in Action Inventory of Strengths (VIA-IS; Peterson, Park, & Seligman, 2005), and Positive Affect (PA) was measured with the Spanish version of the Positive and Negative Affect (NA) Schedule (PANAS; Sandín et al., 1999). Our results showed a significant positive correlation between all the VIA strengths and virtues with TMMS scales Emotional Clarity and Emotion Repair. Emotional Attention showed significant correlations for all the virtues except Temperance. Further analyses demonstrated that TMMS scales predicted VIA virtues, and Positive Affect appeared as a possible mediator in the prediction of Temperance and Humanity virtues. These results support the relationship between Emotional Intelligence and strength of character, as well as the importance of Positive Affect in this relationship.
Strengths-based initiatives for university students to identify and develop their strengths are increasing in popularity in the tertiary sector. An understanding of strengths provides students with ...greater resilience in their transition in and out of university. While such strengths-based initiatives have been studied among first-year student populations at large universities in the United States, scant research has been conducted on strengths development in the Australian tertiary sector. This mixed methods study evaluates the efficacy of the use of the CliftonStrengths Assessment and targeted strengths workshops on a group of mentors and mentees within a peer mentoring program at a university in Australia. Quantitative analysis indicated increases in strengths awareness. Qualitative analysis also revealed participants could positively view their strengths, identify a plan for future strengths use, and view others and themselves in a new light. This study served as a base for further research into strengths development at Australian universities.
Abstract
Objective: To measure the mental health status of deaf adolescents with cochlear implants (CI). Study sample and Design: We used the "Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire" (SDQ) to ...assess the mental health problems of 32 adolescents with CI (mean age 15.0 years) and 212 normal hearing peers (mean age 15.0 years). Results: Parent and teacher ratings for the CI subjects (ES emotional symptoms, HA inattention-hyperactivity, CP conduct-problems and PBS pro-social behavior) did not differ significantly from the results of normal hearing peers. However, teachers rated significantly more cases as having peer problems (PP) and more cases as having very high (clinical) total difficulty scores (TDS) in the CI group. The SDQ results of the CI users correlated significantly with poor results in auditory performance and special school education. The age at CI implantation was not found to be a correlated with emotional, behavioral and social problems. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that the mental health of deaf adolescents with CI is comparable to that of normal hearing peers.
Sumario
Objetivo: Medir la condición de salud mental de adolescentes sordos con implantes cocleares (CI). Muestra del estudio y diseño: Utilizamos el "Cuestionario de Fortalezas y Dificultades" (SDQ) para evaluar la condición mental de 32 adolescentes portadores de IC (edad media de 15.0 años) y de 212 coetáneos con audición normal (edad media de 15.0 años). Resultados: La calificación de progenitores y maestros para los sujetos con IC (ES: síntomas emocionales, HA: inatención-hiperactividad, CP: problemas de conducta y PBS: conducta pro-social) no fue diferente de la de sus coetáneos con audición normal. Sin embargo, los maestros calificaron un número significativamente mayor de casos que tenían problemas con sus coetáneos (PP) y más casos con puntajes de dificultad total (clínica) (TDS) muy altos, en el grupo con IC. Los resultados del SDQ de los usuarios de IC correlacionó significativamente con los pobres resultados en desempeño auditivo y educación escolar especial. La edad de implantación del IC no se consideró como un elemento de predicción de la conducta. Conclusiones: Nuestros hallazgos indican que la salud mental de los adolescentes sordos con IC es comparable con la de sus coetáneos con audición normal.
Purpose
This paper aims to stimulate discussion.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper is a personal reflection and is not a research paper; there is not therefore a design or methodology that was ...used in its writing.
Findings
While it may initially appear that a strength-based approach is incompatible with safeguarding adults, it can be a valuable long-term tool in supporting adults who have been abused or self-neglected.
Research limitations/implications
The piece is a personal reflection and therefore not based on research but it does highlight the need for further research to develop tools to facilitate the interface between safeguarding and a strengths-based approach.
Practical implications
The need to recognise when a strengths-based approach is and is not appropriate in safeguarding adults.
Originality/value
The author is not aware of a similar consideration of the interface between safeguarding adults practice and a strengths-based approach.
The Values in Action (VIA) classification of character strengths and virtues has been recently proposed by two leading positive psychologists, Christopher Peterson and Martin Seligman as “the social ...science equivalent of virtue ethics.” The very possibility of developing this kind of an “equivalent,” however, is very doubtful in the light of the cogent criticism that has been leveled at modern moral theory by Alasdair MacIntyre as well as the well argued accusations that positive psychology, despite its official normative neutrality, is pervaded by specifically Western individualism and instrumentalism. In order to evaluate whether the VIA project can be considered as substantially rooted in virtue ethical tradition, the classification was assessed against two fundamental features of the classical version of the latter: (1) the substantial interconnectedness of individual virtues, as expressed by the thesis of the unity of virtue, and (2) the constitutive character of the relationship between virtue and happiness. It turned out, in result, that the two above features are not only absent from but also contradicted by the VIA framework with the latter's: (1′) construal of individual virtues and character strengths as independent variables and (2′) official endorsement of the fact/value distinction. As soon as the arguments for the superiority of the classical virtue ethical perspective are provided, the potential responses available to the VIA's proponents are discussed.
