Second-generation mindfulness-based interventions (SG-MBIs) align well with positive psychology philosophy and practices, but trials of SG-MBIs have largely focused on ill-being. This study developed a mindfulness-based positive psychology (MBPP) intervention integrating positive psychology with an SG-MBI to enhance well-being. A randomized control trial was performed to compare MBPP with a waitlist condition among 138 Chinese participants. The results showed that MBPP significantly reduced negative emotions for subjective well-being and significantly improved environmental mastery for psychological well-being. Improvements in self-compassion and negative attitudes but not avoidance, mediated changes in well-being. Changes in positive emotions, positive relations, and awareness were associated with the amount of meditation practice. These findings showed that MBPP is promising for improving well-being and that the positive psychology components play important roles. Broadly, the study illustrated that positive psychology and SG-MBIs can be effectively integrated, and it supported the further application of SG-MBIs from the positive psychology perspective.
Developmental trajectories in delinquency through adolescence were studied along with family and peer relationship problems.
Drawing from eight waves of data over seven years, we conducted trajectory analyses with a sample of 746 students (402 girls;
344 boys). Analyzing girls and boys together, a five-class model emerged: 60% of the adolescents rarely reported delinquency;
27.7% reported low initial levels with moderate levels of delinquency over time; 6% in the late onset group reported initially
low and rising levels of delinquency; 5% in the early onset group reported moderate initial levels which increased and then
decreased in later adolescence. A small group of only boys (1.3%) labeled chronic reported high initial levels of delinquency
that increased over time. Group comparisons revealed problems in internalizing, parent and peer relationship problems. The
findings provide direction for early identification and interventions to curtail the development of delinquency. 相似文献
