Trait self-control correlates with desirable outcomes including physical and psychological well- being and is thought to facilitate the formation of effective habits. Visceral states, including internal drives that motivate specific behaviors, have been found to undermine self-control. The current study tested the hypothesis that individuals higher in trait self-control experience less intense and a lower likelihood of visceral states and explored possible mediators. We found that trait self-control negatively correlates with responses to one-shot measures of hunger, fatigue, experiencing stress, and experiencing the common cold. Reports of recent sleeping and eating behavior mediated some of these relationships, consistent with the idea that healthful behaviors help individuals higher in trait self-control minimize visceral states. This research supports emerging perspectives on trait self-control’s contributions to positive outcomes.

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of social capital assessed in early adulthood in linking self-control in childhood with psychological and social functioning in middle age. Data collected at ages 8, 27, and 42 years were based on the Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development (159 females, 177 males). Self-control was assessed at age 8 using teacher ratings and peer nominations. Social capital at age 27 was operationalized in terms of the breadth of the individuals’ social network and the depth of their close relationships. Psychological functioning at age 42 was indicated by, for instance, psychological well-being, and social functioning was indicated by, for instance, aggression. Results showed for females, but not for males, that social capital partially mediated the link between self-control and psychological well-being, as well as the link between self-control and aggression. In females, higher self-control explained better psychological well-being and lower aggression both directly and indirectly via the breadth of the individual’s social network. In males, both childhood self-control and behavioral activity contributed to the breadth of their social network, which, in turn, contributed to the depth of their close relationships. Deeper relationships explained better psychological well-being and, marginally, lower aggression; male lower aggression was directly accounted for by childhood self-control.

Abstract In accordance with the concept of A. Adler (1933/1986) - the community feeling is an individual characteristic which is relatively stable throughout life. It refers to an inner relationship of one person with other people: a feeling of unity with others or separation from others. People with high community feeling are motivated in their actions by striving towards the common good, whereas people with low community feeling intend to exhibit their superiority over others in their actions, which would allow them to compensate for their inner feeling of inferiority. On the basis of the Adler concept the following hypotheses were formulated: There is a negative connection between the community feeling and anxiety. The community feeling is positively connected with self-esteem and psychological well-being. A slight increase in the community feeling can be observed with age. The community feeling increases in the age of middle adulthood. 585 people between 20 to 65 years of age were examined. Methods: Community Feeling Questionnaire, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Ryff Scales of Psychological Well-Being. The hypotheses assumed were verified.

Further it was observed that significant difference exists in levels of mindfulness between meditators and non- meditators where meditating participants reported substantially higher (p< 0.05) levels of mindfulness particularly on traits of Observation and Awareness. Also a strong positive relationship (r =0.764) exists between level of mindfulness and well- being, implicating that higher level of mindfulness in an individual relates to increased level of self-reported psychological well- being. Findings are in line with other studies evidencing positive impact of meditation on well- being of an individual.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Crohn’s disease is chronic, requires prolonged treatment, affects the physical and psychosocial health of patients and may alter their routine, quality of life and well-being. Recent studies recommend monitoring the health of these patients considering physical, psychological and psychosocial aspects, because they are directly related to the disease activity. These studies highlight the relevance of patients’ emotional and behavioral conditions and suggest that the identification of the factors that influence the psychological well-being, resilience and Coping in these patients can favor the proper treatment. OBJECTIVE: To relate psychological well-being, resilience and Coping with social and clinical features of Crohn’s disease patients. METHODS: Prospective study including 104 patients with Crohn’s disease, both genders and mean age of 39 years. Standardized scales were used to assess and to relate psychological well-being, resilience and Coping with social and clinical variables. A questionnaire to characterize the sample and standardized scales in data collection (psychological well-being, resilience pillars and Coping strategies inventory - Folkman & Lazarus) were used. Descriptive analysis of data and statistics for comparison of results were performed. RESULTS: There were significant differences (P<0.05) showing better psychological well-being for male patients, those who without children, were not religious, were employed and were doing complementary activities in addition to clinical treatment. More resilience for the male gender, those who without children, were not religious, divorced, separated or widowed, that received some monthly income; who did not undergo surgery, had the first symptoms after 30 years old and who had complementary activity. There were also significant differences in the use of Coping: usually, women used more developed escape and avoidance strategies; single, married or in stable-union patients used more self-control; not religious used positive revaluation strategy; the ones who were employed showed more self-control and positive reassessment; the ones who had lower family income indicated that they used less the self-control; the ones who had higher family income used more positive re-evaluation; patients who were diagnosed with Crohn’s disease between the second decade of life showed to use mores more the positive reassessment strategy than those who were 20 years old or younger. CONCLUSION: Social aspects influenced psychological well-being, resilience and Coping in patients with Crohn’s disease more strongly than clinical aspects. It was possible to identify the profiles with better and worse psychological well-being, resilience and Coping of those who need more support, as well as to know the most used Coping strategies in the studied group.
