https://rosa.uniroma1.it/rosa04/psychology_hub/article/view/18485
<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;" align="justify"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">In a dynamic and uncertain world of work, the ability of the workforce to adapt and remain resilient is key to organizational success. This research explores the important role of supervisory support and workplace spirituality in promoting workforce agility, considering gratitude as a mediating factor. The study involved 350 retail employees in West Java, Indonesia. The results showed that workplace spirituality significantly increased workforce agility, while supervisory support did not show a significant direct effect. Furthermore, the mediating role of gratitude was only evident in the relationship between workplace spirituality and workforce agility. In addition, analysis of demographic data in this study also revealed that male employees tend to have higher levels of workforce agility compared to female employees. This study contributes to the literature on workforce agility and provides important implications for the development of organizational strategies in facing the challenges of rapid change in the modern era.</span></p>Rostiana, Selly Qoriana Rizki

https://rosa.uniroma1.it/rosa04/psychology_hub/article/view/18527
<p>This cross-sectional study examines the mediating roles of university students' goal orientations—specifically, learning and performance orientations—and emotion regulation strategies, namely cognitive reappraisal and emotional suppression, in the nexus between impulsivity, rumination, and academic self-regulation. Data were gathered from a sample of 720 students across multiple universities in Turkey. Academic Self-Regulation Scale, Emotion Regulation Scale, Goal Orientation Scale, Barratt Impulsivity Scale, and the Ruminative Thinking Style Scale were utilized for data collection. Structural equation modeling revealed that impulsivity was both a direct and indirect negative predictor of academic self-regulation, mediated by cognitive reappraisal and learning and performance goal orientations. Conversely, rumination did not exhibit a direct or an indirect association with academic self-regulation, though it was a significant predictor for emotional suppression, which in turn, was not significantly linked to academic self-regulation. Based on these findings, we argue that implementing targeted interventions in goal orientations and emotion regulation strategies could improve self-regulation among impulsive students displaying high impulsivity. We further posit that the absence of a discernible impact of rumination on academic self-regulation might be attributed to the complex roles that rumination plays in the learning process. The study concludes by addressing the implications and limitations for future research and practice.</p>Habibe Bilgili, Ibrahim Keklik

https://rosa.uniroma1.it/rosa04/psychology_hub/article/view/18611
<p class="western" style="margin-top: 0.17in; margin-bottom: 0.17in; line-height: 200%;">The present research aimed to study the relationship between harmony in life, peace of mind, happiness-increasing strategies, psychological flexibility, psychological richness and comprehensive wellbeing measures, including mental wellbeing and general wellbeing. The study was conducted on <span style="color: #2e2e2e;">581</span> participants. Mental wellbeing and general wellbeing exhibited significant positive correlations with harmony in life, peace of mind, happiness-increasing strategies, psychological flexibility, and psychological richness. The results of the stepwise regression analysis indicate that harmony in life, peace of mind, psychological richness, and five happiness-increasing strategies, including strategies relating to social interaction, instrumental goal pursuit, self-directed, active leisure, and passive leisure significantly predicted mental wellbeing, while peace of mind, psychological richness, harmony in life, and four happiness-increasing strategies, namely instrumental goal pursuit, social interaction, prevented activities, and passive leisure significantly predicted general wellbeing. Further, harmony in life and peace of mind were the strongest predictors of mental wellbeing and general wellbeing, respectively. These findings provide valuable insights into the contribution of these factors in enhancing wellbeing and emphasize the importance of including Eastern conceptions of wellbeing, such as harmony of life and peace of mind.</p>Kamlesh Singh, Shefali Midha, Naina Nagpal, Deepika Chahal

https://rosa.uniroma1.it/rosa04/psychology_hub/article/view/18691
<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="text-indent: 0.5in;" align="justify"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The objective of this study was to adapt and validate the Academic Resilience Scale 30 (ARS-30) in accordance with the prevailing educational norms in Indonesia using Rasch model analysis. The adaptation was conducted with due consideration of collective classroom dynamics, ethnic diversity and the local language, necessitating adjustments to the Indonesian version as the national language. The adaptation process entailed securing permission from the original developer, iterative translation by a certified translator, expert review to guarantee cultural and educational relevance, readability testing by junior high school students, and final testing with the target population. The research sample comprised 925 junior high school students of Javanese, Madurese, Arabic, Chinese and mixed ethnicity. The sample was comprised of individuals aged between 13 and 15 years old, with 402 female and 523 male participants. This study employed the Rasch analysis method to evaluate the reliability, internal consistency, item difficulty, and differential item functioning (DIF) of the instrument. The results demonstrated that the Indonesian version of ARS-30 exhibited satisfactory reliability and internal consistency, with a person reliability value of 0.78 and item consistency at a perfect score of 1.00. The scale also demonstrated unidimensionality, accounting for 61.8% of the variance. Therefore, the Indonesian ARS-30 is a valid and reliable tool to assess academic resilience in junior high school students. further research is necessary to enhance the relevance and cultural sensitivity of the ARS-30 through an in-depth qualitative approach, as well as its applicability to different levels of education and a more diverse student population.</span></span></p>Eka Erawati, Nur Hidayah, Nur Eva, Henny Indreswari, Harris Shah Abd Hamid, Maria Oktasari

https://rosa.uniroma1.it/rosa04/psychology_hub/article/view/18721
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: GarAMOND, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background: transparent;"><span lang="en-US">COVID-19 had a profound impact on the quality of life of millions of employees, especially those on the front lines of the pandemic. This study examines the mental health of Italian hospital employees during the first two waves of the crisis, assessing key indicators such as burnout, secondary traumatic stress, and depression. Given the limited research on individual coping factors, we also explored how different strategies influenced professional quality of life by employing a person-centered approach. Using a repeated cross-sectional design, we collected data from two samples of healthcare employees. Findings revealed a significant decline in mental health over time, with higher levels of burnout, depression, anxiety, and secondary traumatic stress, and lower compassion satisfaction, at wave 2. Latent Profile Analysis identified three coping profiles: Resigned, Avoidant, and Proactive. The Resigned and Avoidant profiles were linked to the poorest mental health outcomes, with Avoidant coping showing the most severe negative effects. These results underscore the importance of fostering adaptive coping strategies and addressing maladaptive ones to protect healthcare employees' mental health during ongoing and future crises.</span></span></span></span></p>Ivan Marzocchi, Claudia Passamonti, Cristina Di Tecco, Monica Ghelli, Matteo Ronchetti, Luigi Fusco, Sonia Sebastianelli, Oriana Papa

https://rosa.uniroma1.it/rosa04/psychology_hub/article/view/18567
<p>Different from other negative emotions, sadness is associated with a slowing of the heart rate, and not its increase, suggesting greater parasympathetic influence that may help children achieve relief and restoration. The current meta-analysis aimed at analyzing respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) reactivity during sadness-eliciting tasks. An inverse relationship between RSA reactivity, emotion regulation, and perceived sadness intensity, as well as a direct relationship between RSA reactivity and internalizing and externalizing symptomatology, were hypothesized. Twenty-two studies met the inclusion criteria, producing 6 independent effect sizes for emotion regulation, 7 for sadness intensity, 15 for internalizing problems, and 13 for externalizing problems. In total, the studies reviewed data on 2,876 individuals. Considering all studies, effect sizes were calculated on the basis of a comparison between the clinical and non-clinical samples. In the non-clinical sample, the mean effect size for emotion regulation was significant but small, and the mean effect size for externalizing problems was not significant. In contrast, in the clinical sample, the mean effect size for externalizing problems was significant but small. The effect sizes for internalizing problems and sadness intensity were not significant, though they were consistent with the predicted directions. Aside from the analysis of internalizing problems in the clinical sample, all analyses were homogeneous, confirming the consistency of the results. No publication bias was found. The paucity of studies on this topic highlights the need for further research on children’s reactions to sadness through the lens of polyvagal theory.</p>Edoardo Saija, Susanna Pallini, Antonia Lonigro, Roberto Baiocco

https://rosa.uniroma1.it/rosa04/psychology_hub/article/view/18645
<p>Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) presents a significant challenge, affecting language development and other cognitive areas such as motor coordination and executive functions (EF). This study examined the relationship between executive functions (working memory, inhibition, and cognitive flexibility) and motor skills in a sample of <strong>22 preschool children with DLD</strong> and a control group of <strong>22 typically developing peers</strong>. Using age-appropriate neuropsychological assessments, the results showed that children with DLD exhibit significant deficits in inhibition and cognitive flexibility compared to typically developing peers. Additionally, correlations emerged between cognitive flexibility deficits and lower motor and planning abilities. These findings suggest a deep connection between the development of language, motor skills, and executive functions, highlighting the importance of early interventions to improve outcomes for children with DLD.</p>Paolo Stievano, Davide Apicerni, Sergio Melogno, Barbara Trimarco, Giovanni Valeri, Teresa Gloria Scalisi
