2021
Šī pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidrot pašnovērtētā uztvertā stresa un darba stresa saistību ar apzinātības prakšu izmantošanu darbinieku vidū.

En el presente trabajo de fin de grado se lleva a cabo una investigación en el segundo ciclo de Educación Infantil, concretamente en un aula de 23 niños y niñas de edades comprendidas entre 4 y 5 años. Tras conocer que el grupo-clase presenta dificultades para atender a las propuestas y que esto repercute en su aprendizaje, se investiga sobre ello. Se realiza u…
Promoting Sustainability: The Effects of Workplace Mindfulness Training
2018
Mindfulness training is enjoying growing popularity in workplaces. In the current study, the effects of workplace mindfulness training were evaluated using quantitative and qualitative methods. The study’s novelty value arises from the implementation of workplace training among factory employees and the mixed-methods approach to evaluation. The quasi-experimental design with training and control groups included pre- and postmeasurements and four focus group interviews. The results of the pre-post-test indicated that, compared with the participants in the control group, the participants in the mindfulness-based training group displayed significantly greater increases in mindfulness, positive…
Positive mood induction procedures for virtual environments designed for elderly people
2012
Positive emotions have a significant influence on mental and physical health. Their role in the elderly’s wellbeing has been established in numerous studies. It is therefore worthwhile to explore ways in which elderly people can increase the number of positive experiences in their daily lives. This paper describes two Virtual Environments (VEs) that were used as mood induction procedures (MIPs) for this population. In addition, the VEs’ efficacy at increasing joy and relaxation in elderly users is analyzed. The VEs contain exercises for generating positive-autobiographic memories, mindfulness and slow breathing rhythms. The total sample comprised 18 participants over 55 years old who used t…
Happiness in advanced adulthood and the elderly
2016
The purpose of this study was to critically analyse the role that positive emotions, flourishing and mindfulness have among the elderly. It was explored how these concepts can contribute to successful aging and higher levels of happiness in this population. To this end, we conducted a non-experimental correlational study with 329 participants, aged from 55 to 98 years. Questionnaires were used to collect data through the following instruments: a socio-demographic questionnaire, Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) and PANAS (Positive and Negative Affect Schedule), FS (Flourishing scale), PST (Positivity test), MHI-5 (Mental Health Inventory -- 5).
Mindfulness y duelo: cómo la serenidad mindful y la compasión contribuyen al bienestar tras la pérdida
2017
En esta primera parte de la tesis doctoral, pretendemos construir y exponer un marco teórico que conexione duelo y mindfulness, a través de una revisión de la literatura científica. ¿Qué necesidades presentan los dolientes tras la pérdida de un ser querido según la bibliografía revisada? ¿ Qué puede aportar mindfulness en el ámbito del duelo? (teniendo en cuenta los resultados revisados en el ámbito del bienestar psicológico en general y la literatura que relaciona mindfulness y duelo). Una vez revisada la literatura existente, crearemos una adaptación del programa MBSR dirigido a dolientes, que recibirá el nombre de programa MADED (Mindfulness para la aceptación del dolor y las emociones e…
Behavioral and psychological flexibility in eating regulation among overweight adults
2016
Weight-loss programs are often based on self-control techniques and they commonly fail in long-term weight management. Identifying psychological processes that explain eating behaviors can help to develop more effective interventions for long-term weight management. This research examined how behavioral and psychological flexibility are related to eating regulation and weight management in overweight adults. The first goal was to study the effects of flexible vs. rigid restraint of eating on weight-loss maintenance and well-being. The second goal was to examine whether psychological flexibility and mindfulness, independently and together, explain intuitive eating regulation. The third goal …
Mindfulness-, hyväksyntä- ja arvopohjaisen intervention vaikutukset työn imuun ja sen ulottuvuuksiin sekä psykologinen joustavuus välittävänä tekijänä
2016
Mindfulness-, hyväksyntä- ja arvopohjaisten interventioiden käytöstä on saatu lupaavia tuloksia työhyvinvoinnin parantamisessa, mutta työn imun yhteydessä niitä ei ole juurikaan tutkittu. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tutkia mindfulness-, hyväksyntä- ja arvopohjaisen (MIHA) -intervention vaikuttavuutta työn imuun ja erikseen sen kolmeen ulottuvuuteen, tarmokkuuteen, omistautumiseen ja uppoutumiseen, sekä psykologiseen joustavuuteen. Lisäksi selvitettiin, välittääkö psykologisen joustavuuden muutos mahdollisia intervention aikaisia muutoksia tarmokkuudessa, omistautumisessa tai uppoutumisessa. Tutkimus on osa Jyväskylän yliopiston Muupu-tutkimushanketta. Tämän tutkimuksen tutkimusjoukk…
