A sample of students (N = 339; X฀฀฀ age = 12.84 years, 53.1% female) nominated friends in the classroom and completed assessments of character strengths, the desirability and importance of character strengths in a friend, and friendship quality. Results indicate that the character strengths of honesty, humor, kindness, and fairness were most desirable and important in a friend. Perspective, love, kindness, social intelligence, teamwork, leadership, and humor were associated with higher peer acceptance. Dyadic analyses of mutual best friends suggested that a number of character strengths were also positively related to friend-rated friendship quality. Overall, the results demonstrate the relevance of character strengths for positive peer relationships in adolescents.

This dissertation provides evidence from two related studies revealing the ways in which mothers’ and fathers’ experiences with interparental conflict affect their own and their partners’ emotion socialization parenting behaviors, toddlers’ emotional security in response to conflict and toddlers’ behavioral outcomes. Utilizing a family-systems approach highlighting the interdependence among family subsystems including the parental subsystem, the goal of the Study 1 was to examine the relations between mothers’ and fathers’ interparental conflict and their emotion socialization behaviors.

  • The Fragility of Fear: the Contentious Politics of Emotion and Security in Canada
    The Fragility of Fear: the Contentious Politics of Emotion and Security in Canada by Eric Van Rythoven A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Political Science Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario ©2017, Eric Van Rythoven Abstract International Relations (IR) theory commonly holds security arguments as powerful instruments of political mobilization because they work to instill, circulate, and intensify popular fears over a threat to a community. Missing from this view is how security arguments often provoke a much wider range of emotional reactions, many of which frustrate and constrain state officials’ attempts to frame issues as security problems. This dissertation offers a corrective by outlining a theory of the contentious politics of emotion and security. Drawing inspiration from a variety of different social theorists of emotion, including Goffman’s interactionist sociology, this approach treats emotions as emerging from distinctive repertoires of social interaction. These emotions play a key role in enabling audiences to sort through the sound and noise of security discourse by indexing the significance of different events to our bodies. Yet popular emotions are rarely harmonious; they’re socialized and circulated through a myriad of different pathways. Different repertoires of interaction in popular culture, public rituals, and memorialization leave audiences with different ways of feeling about putative threats. The result is mixed and contentious emotions which shape both opportunities and constraints for new security policies. The empirical purchase of this theory is illustrated with two cases drawn from the Canadian context: indigenous protest and the F-35 procurement.

Building Resilience in MBA Students: Bouncing Back and Forward through Challenges Abstract The raison d'être for MBA programs is to prepare students to lead and manage effectively in the real world. An overview of the unique challenges awaiting MBAs, however, reveals a blind spot in business education: It doesn’t necessarily prepare MBA students to operate effectively in the VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) world of today. This paper suggests that resilience training can help fill the oidv by enhancing the capacity of MBAs to bounce back and forward through and despite adversity. The objective of the paper is to propose a conceptual design of an evidence-based, relevant, and applicable Resilience Training Program for MBA students, building on research and practice in positive psychology and positive organizational scholarship. The proposed program seeks to enhance MBAs’ individual resilience from a 3-dimensional perspective of protecting, promoting, and sustaining mental health and well-being.

It shows a role of emotional security in ontogeny. The author discusses a connection between emotional security and attachment. The article also presents results of the study, the purpose of which was to study the relation of emotional security/insecurity and dependence/independence and such psychological characteristics as pessimism/optimism, indifference/sympathy; dependence- autonomy; anxiety/calmness and aggression/tolerance. Depending on the state of security/insecurity and dependence/independence the four groups of subjects were identified with the following features: secure-independent – optimism and tolerance; secure-dependent – optimism and anxiety; insecure- dependent – tolerance and anxiety and insecure-independent – autonomy and calmness. It is proved that the presence of a sense of security indicates the person’s possession of internal resources to confront new threats and dangerous situations. The sense of security affects the interpretation of the future and the attitude to life. Keywords: emotional security, attachment, sense of security, dependency, personality.
