In between relationships (IBRs) constitute relationships that overlap between friendships and romantic relationships. They are characterized by definitional uncertainty, as well as the other types of relational uncertainty identified by Knobloch and Solomon (1999). The researchers conducted semi-structured interviews among emerging adults with ongoing or terminated IBRs. Topic avoidance reinforced the prevalent relational uncertainty among IBRs. Being in an IBR had advantages, such as companionship, perceived safety, and positive feelings, that motivated emerging adults to initiate and maintain them. However, the disadvantages that followed, such as stress, lack of exclusivity, and negative feelings, became a contributing factor to its termination. The researchers also proposed three types of IBRS, and conceptualized a framework that illustrates the development of IBRs.

The Relationship

This research investigated the relationship between the six love styles based on Lee's theory (1973) and several romantic experiences, such as emotional experiences, self-perceptions, and partner's impressions. The subjects were 343 undergraduate students. The main results were as follows: Eros was positively related to positive feelings and positive self-perceptions. Mania and Agape showed similar patterns of emotional experiences, but Agape was distinguished from Mania in that agapic individuals thought of themselves as kind in romantic relationships. Pragma and Ludus were positively related to negative feelings in romantic relationships, and, in addition, Ludus was negatively correlated with partner's attractiveness. These results mostly provided support for Lee's theory and the conceptual validity of the six love styles.

Abstract The benefits of mobility devices for knee Osteoarthritis Patients include reducing burden of knee joint, enhancing confidence and increasing autonomy, yet many who might benefit from using mobility devices do not use them. The purpose of this study is to explore the cognition and using experiences about mobility devices use in patients with knee osteoarthritis of China. Naturalistic inquiry research was adopted, 15 patients with knee osteoarthritis were recruited and Semi-structured interviews were conducted. Data were analyzed based on conventional content analysis methodology. Two themes of using experiences about mobility devices were extracted, including positive feelings, negative feelings. Cognition about mobility devices use included light consciousness, incorrect attitude. Mobility devices have a positive effect on knee osteoarthritis patients, but some patients lack sufficient understanding and face many problems in the use of mobility devices. Policy Support, greater physician involvement, positive peer modules, and safe, visually appealing devices would promote greater acceptance and satisfaction of mobility devices with knee osteoarthritis patients.

The Relationship

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to understand how students graduating from accounting master’s courses perceived the feelings experienced in the different dissertation guidance phases. This investigation enables us to identify which stages generate negative feelings and to thus propose actions to improve the affective relationship between the advisor and student, considering that the feelings substantially affect the potential of the scientific works originating from that relationship. The advisor-student relationship and the feelings involved in it are among the main factors that positively or negatively affect the conclusion of the academic work, and understanding it is important in order to improve this interaction process. One of the implications of the research relates to the importance of stricto sensu programs monitoring the guidance process and somehow searching for mechanisms that promote harmony in the guidance process, as the experiences during the dissertation guidance process can affect the student’s likelihood of continuing on their academic journey. For the data collection, a survey was conducted in which the participants used emojis to represent the feelings experienced in their relationship with the advisor during the construction of their master’s dissertation. In addition, semi-structured interviews were carried out, which enabled the elaboration of a collective subject discourse regarding the feelings experienced during the dissertation guidance process. The 88 responses and eight interviews enabled the identification of feelings such as anxiety, fear, and insecurity in the first phases of the dissertation building. Abandonment, confusion, and frustration were felt in the last phases of the relationship with the advisor. Regarding the positive feelings, there are indications of joy, satisfaction, and calm, presenting greater frequency in the last stages of the dissertation. The collective subject discourses also indicated that the relationship with the advisor affected the quality of the scientific research and the student’s academic trajectory.

The conclusion summarizes the main aims of the book. Even though shame can be a painful and damaging emotion, we would still not be better off without it. A continued liability to shame shows that we accept that we are not always the people we think we are, but accepting this fact is a sign of moral maturity. Additionally, this conclusion raises questions about moral philosophy’s commitment to positive moral psychology. Although some philosophers have defended negative emotions, the field as a whole still treats positive feelings as better and more desirable than negative feelings. But it is reasonable to ask whether moral agents should try to be “emotional saints.”

Background: Experiencing the death of a close person, especially in emerging adults and students, can have profound effects on the bereaved individual’s life. As most research in this field has focused on negative effects of a loss, little is known about potential positive effects experienced by bereaved university students. This study investigated the experience of grief and personal growth in a sample of students from The University of Melbourne, Australia. Methods: Semi-structured interviews via Zoom/telephone with bereaved students (n = 14), who were invited to reflect on their loss and any personal growth potentially experienced. Thematic analysis of the data was based on a deductive and inductive approach. Results: The analysis identified four themes: (i) sharing of grief as a coping mechanism, (ii) balance between grief reactions and moving forward in life, (iii) lessons learned and personal growth, and (iv) adopting values from the deceased person and continuing bonds. Conclusions: Participants emphasized personal growth regarding self-perception and philosophical views on life. Following the loss, they preferred peer support, and used formal services only when they had a specific need. The findings indicate the importance of social support for bereaved students, and the complimentary role of peer and professional support. Hence, academic institutions should offer supportive services tailored to both students and professionals to help bereaved students.

This study aimed to explore lived experience of patients with heart failure (HF) during the COVID-19 pandemic. A qualitative study was conducted using an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). Data collection performed in March-May 2020, using in-depth, semi-structured interviews on a purposive sample. Data were analyzed according to the IPA methodology, and triangulation, bracketing, journaling, and member checking were used to assure rigor. 14 patients with HF were enrolled, and three main themes described their lived experience during the COVID-19 pandemic: Vulnerability, Hanging in the balance, and Coping strategies. These people felt particularly vulnerable to the novel virus and experienced uncertainty due to hospital organization changes. Because of this, they felt like they were hanging in the balance, experiencing various negative feelings. Nevertheless, they managed to deal with this challenging situation by implementing some peculiar coping strategies. The COVID-19 represents a significant challenge for patients with HF, impacting significantly on their lives.

Is the pain of a loss greater in magnitude than the pleasure of a comparable gain? Studies that compare positive feelings about a gain with negative feelings about a comparable loss have found mixed answers to this question. The pain of a loss can be greater than, less than, or equal to the pleasure of a comparable gain. We offer a new approach to test hedonic loss aversion. This method uses emotional reactions to the reference point, a positive change, and a negative change. When we manipulated the reference point (i.e., pleasurable and painful), two distinct patterns emerged. Pain surpassed pleasure (loss aversion) when the reference point was positive, and pleasure exceeded pain (gain seeking) when the reference point was negative. A reference-dependent version of prospect theory accounts for the results. If the carriers of utility are changes from a reference point—not necessarily the status quo—both loss aversion and gain seeking are predicted. Loss aversion and gain seeking can be reconciled if you take the starting point into account.

The Relationship

Museums are located at the intersection of awe and learning: When guests arrive, they are expecting to be amazed, inspired, and educated. This is particularly true in science museums, and researchers have pointed to awe as an epistemic emotion that can promote science learning. We present two studies of awe in a science museum. The first study (n = 293) examined how awe—conceptualized as a multifaceted construct associated with positive feelings of liberation/connection, negative feelings of oppression/isolation, chills, and diminished-self perceptions—differed across museum locations and in relation to prior knowledge. The second study (n = 708) expanded the investigation to also examine the relationship between awe and critical thinking. Across both studies, we found that, relative to baseline spaces, vast, beautiful spaces elicited positive awe-related emotions (amazement, curiosity) and stronger awe correlates (chills, diminished-self perceptions); vast, threatening spaces also elicited stronger amazement, chills, and diminished-self perceptions—but also stronger oppression/isolation. In both studies, pre-visit knowledge was associated with awe experiences during the visit. In Study 2, we also found evidence for relationships between awe and skepticism and aesthetic thought, two aspects of critical thinking: Positive aspects of awe (liberation/connection, curiosity) were associated with more skepticism, and negative aspects of awe (oppression/isolation, disorientation) with less skepticism. In terms of aesthetic thinking, diminished-self perceptions were associated being able describe observed roles and actions, and chills were associated with being able to describe personal opinions. These results support the assertion that awe can be used to encourage engagement and learning in informal science settings.
