- 2019
-
Ingår i: 31st Association for Psychological Science Annual Convention. Washington, D.C., USA.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Nurses’ work is characterized by overload and hard decisions. Despite 80% of new ly graduated nurses being socially warm and dedicated, 72.97% lacked purpose and meaning and felt ineffective and disconnected from the rest of the world. Moreover, 51.70% had a personality profile with high risk for burnout and ill-being.

A Pilot Study on Resilience (Harm Avoidance, Persistence, and Self-directedness) among Swedish Newly Graduated Nurses
- 2019
-
Ingår i: 3rd Biennial International Convention of Psychological Science, Paris, France.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A Resilient profile is low in Harm Avoidance (i.e., relaxed, confident, and optimistic) and high in Persistence (i.e., industrious, perseverant, and hard-working) and Self-Directedness (i.e., responsible, reliable, self-acceptant, goal-oriented, and resourceful). We found that, compared to the general population, only 6.90% of Swedish newly graduated nurses had a resilient profile.

A Pilot Study on Temperament (Novelty Seeking, Harm Avoidance, and Reward Dependence) among Swedish Newly Graduated Nurses
- 2019
-
Ingår i: 3rd Biennial International Convention of Psychological Science, Paris, France.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- One factor for burnout vulnerability among nurses is their temperament profile. Compared to the general population, about 80% of Swedish newly graduated nurses were sentimental, warm, dedicated, attached, and dependent (i.e., high Reward Dependence) and 50% were worrying, pessimistic, doubtful, shy and low in energy (i.e., high Harm Avoidance).

A Pilot Study on Character (Self-directedness, Cooperativeness, and Self-transcendence) among Swedish Newly Graduated Nurses
- 2019
-
Ingår i: 3rd Biennial International Convention of Psychological Science, Paris, France.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Character or an individual’s relation to the self (Self-Directedness) and others (Cooperativeness) and her participation in the world as a whole (Self-Transcendence) are important ingredients for well-being. Here we found that, compared to the general population, about 73% of Swedish newly graduated nurses were low in both Self-Directedness and Self-Transcendence.

Character and Subjective Well-Being among Swedish Priests

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Background: Helping professionals have a working environment characterized by time pressure, unexpected challenges, and emotional issues [1]. According to statistics from The Swedish Social Insurance Agency, priests run a greater risk of being ill and burning out, which might impede their care for others due to stress and mental fatigue. Previous research by Cloninger and colleagues [2-4] indicates that character maturity (i.e., high self-directedness, high cooperativeness and high self-transcendence) contributes to both resilience and well-being, because these aspects influence human experiences in different life domains, in turn, facilitating the basis and extent of positive human development (see also [5]). Aim: Our aim was to first compare Swedish priests to the general population, with regard to character traits, and then to investigate the relationship between character and both resilience and subjective well-being within the priest population. Method: 515 Swedish priests (267 females, 246 males, 2 unreported) self-reported personality (Temperament and Character Inventory), resilience (Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale), and subjective well-being (Satisfaction with Life Scale, Positive Affect Negative Affect Schedule, and Harmony in Life scale). Character traits Percentiles were computed using the Swedish norms. The relationship between priests’ character and self-reported resilience and well-being was investigated by first clustering priests according to all possible combinations of high (self-directedness: S, cooperativeness: C and self-transcendence: T) and low (self-directedness: s, cooperativeness: c and self-transcendence: t) scores in the character traits, which generated eight different profiles. Secondly, we conducted paired t-tests to compare resilience and well-being between profiles that differed in one character trait, while controlling for the other two. Results: As a group, the priests had a character profile high-average in self-directedness (percentile = 62.3), high in cooperativeness (percentile = 75.5) and very high in self-transcendence (percentile = 88.4). However, there was substantial variation in character profiles within the priest population (e.g., 21% SCT “creative”, 19.2% sct downcast, 11.5% Sct “authoritarian”, 10.3% SCt “organized”, and 9.3% ScT “absolutist”). Moreover, independent of any combination, self-directedness had a direct positive relationship to resilience and all well-being measures. Nevertheless, both cooperativeness and self-transcendence were related to resilience and well-being in certain conditions, but not in others. For example, cooperativeness was negatively related to negative affect when self-directedness and self-transcendence was high, but positively related to negative affect when both were low. Conclusions: Swedish priests, as a group, seem to have a "creative" character profile, which means they are personally organized and also self-transcendent. The large variation in the group suggests, however, a heterogeneity that might have important implications for their institutional roles, and their needs. In addition, self-directedness, the character trait in which the priests scored the lowest, was the trait of greatest importance for their resilience and well-being. Finally, the relationship between cooperativeness and self-transcendence to both resilience and well-being depended on its coherence to the other two character traits.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Swedish priests, as a group, were high-average in self-directedness, high in cooperativeness, and high in self-transcendence. Self-directedness was associated to resilience and different measures of subjective well-being. Nevertheless, there was a large variation in character profiles that might have important implications for priests’ institutional roles and overall health.
