Sometimes you just can't: within-person variation in working memory capacity moderates negative affect reactivity to stressor exposure.

The executive hypothesis of self-regulation places cognitive information processing at the center of self-regulatory success/failure. While the hypothesis is well supported by cross-sectional studies, no study has tested its primary prediction, that temporary lapses in executive control underlie moments of self-regulatory failure. Here, we conducted a naturalistic experiment investigating whether short-term variation in executive control is associated with momentary self-regulatory outcomes, indicated by negative affect reactivity to everyday stressors.

Relations among gratitude, adaptation to disability, and flourishing among adults with disabilities: A longitudinal mediation model.

Purpose/objective: Flourishing, a primary outcome of rehabilitation psychology, is understudied among adults with disabilities. Gratitude has emerged as an individual strength that is both malleable and robust in predicting flourishing and adaptation to disability. The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of gratitude on flourishing over time and to analyze the potential mediating role of adaptation to disability on this relationship for a group of adults with disabilities.

Development and validation of the social motivation scale in people with disabilities.

Objective: Social effectiveness is key to success in the labor market. For decades, social motivation has been empirically studied as both a presumed cause and consequence of social effectiveness. Yet, few direct measures of social motivation exist, and even fewer have been validated with a disability population.

Treatment-seeking college students with disabilities: Presenting concerns, protective factors, and academic distress.

Unlabelled: Students with disabilities are a growing population on college campuses and have unique challenges that put them at risk for early departure, creating complexity in efforts to address their personal and academic needs.

Purpose: The purpose was to explore academic and other sources of distress among college students with disabilities to identify possible areas where enhanced supports might benefit this population. Research Method and Design: Researchers analyzed cross-sectional data from the Center for Collegiate Mental Health to compare subsamples of students with (n = 1,774) and without disabilities (n = 1,774) on presenting concerns, and to determine significant predictors of academic distress among students with disabilities.

Mediators of disability and hope for people with spinal cord injury.

Purpose: To test potential strength-based mediators of functional disability and hope in adults with spinal cord injury.

Method: Two hundred and forty-two participants with spinal cord injury were recruited for this study. The mean age of participants was 44.

Work-related social skills: Definitions and interventions in public vocational rehabilitation.

Objective: Social skills play an important role in employment. This study provides a qualitative analysis of salient work related social skills and interventions for addressing social skills in public vocational rehabilitation (VR).

Research Design: A modified consensual qualitative research (CQR) approach was taken to understand the elements and influence of work related social skills in public VR.
