Abstract This study examined the moderating effects of psychological detachment and conscientiousness on the relationship between compulsory citizenship behaviour (CCB) and work-family conflict (WFC) among nurses. Data were gathered from 289 nurses (104 males and 185 females) working in public hospitals in the southwestern part of Nigeria. They completed self-report measures on CCB, WFC, psychological detachment, and conscientiousness. Hayes PROCESS Macro results showed that CCB was associated with higher WFC among nurses. Psychological detachment (β = −0.05, p < 0.006) and conscientiousness (β = −0.02, p < 0.003) significantly moderated the relationship between CCB and WFC, such More >

Abstract This study examined the mediating role of impostor phenomenon (IP) in the relationship between multidimensional perfectionism and procrastination. A cross-sectional survey of 393 Chinese university students (72.5% women; mean age 19.27 ± 1.26 years) completed standardized measures: the Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (FMPS), Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (CIPS), and Pure Procrastination Scale (PPS).

Maladaptive perfectionism was associated with both higher IP and higher procrastination levels.

Abstract Unhealthy substance use is high among adolescents and young people in Zambia. Conceivably, a character strength approach could help reduce alcohol and other psychoactive substance use among young adults. We tested the efficacy of a positive psychology based group-based character strengths prevention and recovery program for alcohol risk reduction among Zambian young adults. The primary study participants included schoolchildren and community members. We conducted 8 focus group discussions (FGDs) with school students (aged 13 to 17) and community youth (ages 18–24), 12 FGDs with parents, teachers, family, friends, and group leaders. Moreover, we conducted 8… More >
