Article Synopsis
  • Research grade activity monitors like the StepWatch Activity Monitor (SAM) and Actigraph are accurate for tracking walking, but their effectiveness in monitoring wheelchair use is questionable.
  • In a study with two groups - one doing a push test and the other playing wheelchair basketball - the Actigraph detected some activity, but the SAM failed to register steps in the push test.
  • Results suggest that these monitors may not accurately reflect activity levels in wheelchair sports, so it's recommended to use additional activity logs or educate users to remove the monitors during such activities.

Resilience, Generalized Self-Efficacy, and Mindfulness as Moderators of the Relationship Between Stress and Well-Being.

J Cogn Psychother

June 2023

Department of Counseling, Educational Psychology and Research, University of Memphis, Memphis Tennessee, USA.

Heeding calls to examine multiple protective factors within single studies, this study tested whether resilience uniquely predicted higher life satisfaction and lower depression over the predictive ability of generalized self-efficacy (GSE) and mindfulness among 332 university students. A second purpose was to test whether resilience uniquely buffered the relationship between two forms of stress-cumulative stress from particular negative life events and general perceived stress-and both life satisfaction and depression over the buffering ability of GSE and mindfulness. In hierarchical multiple regressions, resilience uniquely predicted 3% of the variance in satisfaction with life and 1% of the variance in depression.
