Social Disconnection

The widespread diffusion of smartphones has opened new challenges regarding the psychological consequences of their usage on social relationships. The term phubbing (a combination of phone and snubbing) indicates the act of ignoring someone in a social context by paying attention to the smartphone. The few existing studies show that phubbing is widespread, mutually reinforced, and socially accepted, with possible negative consequences for social and individual well-being. Phubbing can occur in every social context, including romantic relationships, workplaces, and family. However, to date, minimal attention has been given to the possible impact that phubbing carried out by parents can have on their children. To start filling this gap, in this paper, we introduced a new scale that measures the perception of being subject to parental phubbing and showed the prevalence of perceived phubbing on a stratified sample of 3,289 adolescents. Firstly, the dimensionality, validity, and invariance of the construct were proven. Moreover, our results showed a positive relationship between children’s perceived levels of parental phubbing and their feelings of social disconnection with parents, thus suggesting that the more children felt that one or both of their parents were phubbing them, the less the children felt connected with their parents.

Emotional Safety

Since the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted most people’s activities and relationships. Romantic relationships are a crucial source of fulfillment and emotional safety for many individuals. However, due to the risk of illness and the social distancing norms, human interaction, even inside one’s couple or family, suffered great changes. Some of these changes have the potential of disrupting people’s relational or psychological well-being, but they can also have positive impacts. On the other hand, one of the most negative consequences is the growing number of intimate partner violence (IPV) incidents. Considering all these aspects, therapy would be beneficial for those affected.

Critical Challenge

With the needs for change and adaptation brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, management of the concerns regarding workplace loneliness, work alienation, and spiritual well-being stands as a critical challenge for the organizations. Although these concepts are not new and have increasingly been a focus of attention in recent decades, contemporary radical changes in work methods and work concept such as increased use of technology, digitalization, social distancing at work, and virtual working make them much more crucial for the success of organizations. The purpose of this chapter is to address adverse psychological work-related outcomes of the pandemic and provide practical implications and recommendations for leaders for effective management of the processes regarding these outcomes during and after the pandemic.

Music has been argued to contribute to well-being in multiple ways, through its links to identity, social relationships, emotion, and memory. We investigated the phenomenon of “couple-defining songs (CDSs),” in which members of a couple come to jointly identify their relationship with a particular song. Two hundred participants who were currently in a romantic relationship, diverse in age and relationship length and status, reported whether they had a CDS. Those who reported a CDS described its origins and meaning, and any memories and emotions elicited by thinking about their song. In addition, participants completed measures of music appreciation and relationship intimacy. We found that CDSs were common, relatively unique to romantic relationships, and associated with higher music appreciation and higher intimacy. CDSs tended to be acquired early in relationships, and they cued positive emotions and specific memories. These findings suggest that CDSs represent a common and understudied phenomenon. We propose that the multifaceted nature of music may contribute to the prevalence of CDSs in intimate relationships.

Sensitizing Effect

HELPING A PERSON with a handicap to maximize his assets and minimize the negative consequences of the handicap has long been the goal of rehabilitation. If we examine the practice of rehabilitation, however, we find that the early emphasis on physical restoration and the maximization of physical function is still dominant. More recently increasing emphasis has been given to minimizing economic dependency through vocational training and placement and, in the case of children, special educational training. Least systematic attention has been paid to the effect of handicapping on a person's social development and the learning of human relations skills. The purpose of this paper is to discuss some of the research and developing concepts bearing upon some of the social psychological consequences of handicapping. Two major questions exist. The first of these is whether handicapping has a blunting or sensitizing effect on a person. The second—in a sense the converse of the first—is whether the handicapped person develops certain specialized skills in managing his social relationships with the nonhandicapped. By blunting effects of a handicap I mean the impoverishment of the individual's resources for dealing with other people and observing them; by sensitizing I mean the opposite. It has been argued—perhaps particularly on the basis of literary works—that a handicap tends to make a person especially sensitive. Some people believe, for example, that Byron's club foot on Elizabeth Barrett Browning's invalidism may have been partly responsible for their sensitivity as poets. Others have suggested that those who are forced to stand on the sidelines and watch life go by become sensitive as observers because so many of their satisfactions have to be derived vicariously rather than through direct involvement and participation.

Canadian City

Despite a general decline, early-age motherhood continues to manifest disproportionately among young women living in rural/remote Canada. Although public health interventions exist to ameliorate the negative impacts, key determinants of young mothers’ well-being exist in sectors outside of health. Moreover, there is no clear understanding of how social context interacts with policy to enhance/detract from interventions. We undertook an ethnographic study in a northern Canadian city to investigate the impacts of sociocultural conditions and policy interventions on young mothers. “Ageing out” was identified as an important example of the intersection between social context and policy. “Ageing out” occurs when State-provided educational/income supports are removed because a young mother reaches the age of majority. Ageing out within unsupportive social contexts compounds negative consequences for young mothers, especially in relation to housing, parenting, and employment. The findings illustrate how some policy interventions have negative consequences that exacerbate health and social inequities.

The present study examined cultural differences in the act of sharing positive events with others, called capitalization attempts. The first three studies tested whether capitalization attempts differ between two cultures using multiple methods: self-reports (Study 1), children’s storybooks (Study 2), and Facebook (Study 3). We found that Koreans are less likely to share their positive events with others than European Americans. Study 4 further examined the antecedents and consequences of capitalization attempts. We replicated the earlier findings that Koreans are hesitant to share their positive events and demonstrated that this is because Koreans are more concerned about the potential negative consequences for social relationships. Moreover, we found that the cultural differences in capitalization attempts partly account for mean-level differences in well-being between cultures. Implications for capitalization, culture, and well-being are discussed.

Practical Implications

Loneliness is a common experience with major negative consequences for well-being. Although much research has examined protective and risk factors for loneliness, we know little about its cultural underpinnings. The few studies that exist seem paradoxical, suggesting that loneliness is higher in cultures where tighter and more demanding (i.e., more restrictive) cultural norms about social relationships decrease the risk of social isolation. At the same time, loneliness is lower among individuals who hold more restrictive norms or perceive such norms among others around them. We move beyond previous research by generating the culture-loneliness framework, suggesting that loneliness occurs across all levels of restrictiveness, but through different predominant types of isolation. More restrictive (i.e., more, tighter, or more demanding) norms about social relationships may better protect from physical isolation (i.e., a lack of social interaction or relationships) but increase the likelihood of emotional and perceived isolation (i.e., a lack of individually satisfying relationships or relationships that do not fulfill cultural ideals). We evaluate this framework by reviewing research at both the individual and the cultural levels, and discuss its theoretical and practical implications.

Families mobilize psychosocial resources to attune negative consequences of economic hardship, but research is lacking among youth. We propose an Economic Stress Model in Emerging Adulthood ( ESM-EA) conceptualizing age-salient social relationships and financial capability as mediators between economic hardship and well-being. The ESM-EA was tested in a three-wave prospective study following the 2008 economic recession, as part of the Finnish Educational Transitions studies. The sample consisted of 551 emerging adults (55.5% female) who participated at ages 23, 25, and 28. Economic pressures and financial capability mediated the effect of economic hardship on well-being, whereas social relationships did not. Individuals with an unfavorable financial situation at age 25 were more likely to show lower life satisfaction and higher depressive symptoms at 28 when they reported a higher level of economic pressures and a lower level of financial capability. Findings emphasize emerging adults’ age-salient financial adjustments and management in enhancing well-being.

Laburpena: Lantokian, baliteke interesik eza eta asperdura sentitzea, baina horrek ondorio txarrak dakarzkie hala langileen osasunari eta ongizateari, nola antolakundearen produktibitateari. Lan honetan, asperdurak lanean, pertsonen arteko gatazketan eta administrazio publikoen konpromisoan nola eragiten duen aztertuko dugu. Zentzu horretan, administrazio publikoaren hainbat organismotako 73 atezainen lagina erabili zen. Datuek erakutsi zutenez, asperduraren eta harreman-gatazken artean erlazio adierazgarri eta positiboak daude, eta negatiboak, aldiz, asperduraren eta konpromiso afektiboaren artean. Gainera, arauen kulturak areagotu egiten du asperduraren eta harreman-gatazken arteko erlazioa. Ondorioztatu denez, administrazioetan oso konplexuak ez diren lanpostuetan daudenen berezko motibazioa hobetu behar da, eta testuinguru horretan sortzen diren gatazkak kudeatzeko sistemak ezarri. Resumen: El desinterés y el aburrimiento son situaciones que se pueden dar en el trabajo, con consecuencias negativas para la salud de los empleados, su bienestar y la productividad de la organización. En el presente trabajo analizaremos la influencia que ejerce el aburrimiento en el trabajo, en los conflictos interpersonales y cómo este afecta al compromiso afectivo en las administraciones públicas. En este sentido, se utilizó una muestra de 73 conserjes pertenecientes a diferentes organismos de la administración pública. Los datos mostraron relaciones significativas positivas entre el aburrimiento y el conflicto relacional y negativas con el compromiso afectivo. Además, encontramos que la cultura de reglas potencia la relación entre aburrimiento y conflictividad relacional. Las conclusiones apuntan a la necesidad de mejorar la motivación intrínseca de las personas que ocupan puestos de escasa complejidad en las administraciones, así como establecer sistemas de gestión de los conflictos que vayan surgiendo en dicho contexto. Abstract: Boreout occurs regularly at work with negative consequences for employees, their well-being and the productivity of the organization. In this paper we will analyze the influence of boreout on employees’ interpersonal conflicts and affective commitment. 73 janitors in public employment participated in this study. Data suggested a positive relationship between boreout and relational conflicts and a positive relationship with affective commitment. Findings also suggest that the rules culture enhances the link between boreout and relational conflicts. Conclusions suggest the importance of developing intrinsic motivation in employees, mainly those who work in low complexity jobs, and also of developing dispute resolution systems for conflict management in the organizational context.

The metaphor vintage wine in new bottles imagines how ideas from immigration studies, social psychology, and cultural sociology add novel insights about how the social context and social relationships of immigrant lives are linked to well-being. This article describes a few patterns in research studies that have addressed whether immigrants have higher or lower rates of mental health problems than their U.S.-born counterparts. It discusses a few past approaches to explain the differences in mental health outcomes. The article concludes with select concepts and tools from other sociological fields that may invigorate research on immigrants and their health and mental health.
