Assessing the efficacy of a resilience training intervention for long-term improvements in well-being and resilience.

This article has two aims: (1) to assess the impacts of a novel training intervention for individual well-being and (2) to measure the trajectory of resilience over the training period dependent on reported significant life events. Using a randomised controlled trial with a diverse German sample with the majority drawn from a student population, we measure the effects of the intervention to provide insight into its impacts and act as a proof of concept for the training. We find that the training intervention boosts resilience and other related well-being measures with a high effect size in comparison with a control group and compared with existing resilience training studies.

How Do Women and Men Look at the Past? Large Scanpath in Women during Autobiographical Retrieval-A Preliminary Study.

While research has consistently demonstrated how autobiographical memory triggers visual exploration, prior studies did not investigate gender differences in this domain. We thus compared eye movement between women and men while performing an autobiographical retrieval task. We invited 35 women and 35 men to retrieve autobiographical memories while their gaze was monitored by an eye tracker.

The coping strategies of individuals in multiple jeopardy settings: the case of unemployed older women.

This research investigates the harmful consequences of discrimination on self-esteem and examines the coping options of individuals belonging to several stigmatized groups (i.e., unemployed older women) within the multiple jeopardy perspective.

Destination Memory for Self-Related Information: When I Tell Elvis Presley about My Favorite Food.

Unlabelled: Destination memory, the ability to remember to whom information was previously delivered, has found to be influenced by social processing and social interactions.

Our paper investigated whether older adults would demonstrate better destination memory for self-related information than for general information.

Does Sex Matter? High Semantic Autobiographical Retrieval in Women and Men With Alzheimer's Disease.

The decline of autobiographical memory in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is mainly characterized by overgenerality. While there is a large body of research on autobiographical overgenerality in AD, this research has mainly assessed retrieval with a dichotomy between specific vs. general retrieval.

Personality and social memory: High source and destination memory in extroverts.

We evaluated relationship between personality and memory for social interactions. More specifically, we investigated the relationship between extraversion and the ability to remember who told us some information (i.e.

High emotional experience during autobiographical retrieval in women with Korsakoff syndrome.

Introduction: In this exploratory study, we investigated gender differences regarding autobiographical memory in KS.

Results: Analysis demonstrated lower specificity (i.

Better Destination Memory in Females.

French Validation of the Multidimensional Attitude Scale Toward Persons with Disabilities (MAS): The Case of Attitudes Toward Autism and Their Moderating Factors.

This research investigates the renewed interest in autism, the stigmatization of persons with autism and the need to better measure such stigmatization. Two studies were thus conducted on 101 and 104 participants in order to validate the French version of the Multidimensional Attitude Scale toward persons with disabilities, and examine the moderating effects of age, gender and contact on such attitudes. Both the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses yielded a four-dimensional scale, indicating that the observed data fit with the theoretical model and that the sub-scale show an acceptable internal consistency.
