Can Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) and Mindfulness be Integrated Effectively within High Performance Settings?
AbstractOur critical commentary explores the overlaps and divergences between Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) and contemporary mindfulness practice and considers whether the approaches could be integrated and applied effectively within two high performance settings in particular: sport and business. It highlights how REBT and mindfulness share similar philosophical positions on the causes of emotional disturbance, on the importance of acceptance, and on cultivating self-awareness to respond healthily and adaptively to adverse events. It also acknowledges diverenges relating to REBT and mindfulness ’ respective ...

Predicting problematic smartphone use based on early maladaptive schemas by using machine learning classification algorithms
This study aimed to predict problematic smartphone use based on early maladaptive schemas (EMS) and five schema domains. Machine learning algorithms were used to test the predictive models based on data collected from 1000 smartphone users. The study tested the predictive models by employing six machine learning classification algorithms (i.e., Bayes Net, SMO, IBk, Multi-Class Classifier, Decision Table, and Random Forest). The first predictive model was built on 14 schemas and tested by using 10-fold cross validation method. Results indicated that Multi-Class Classifier achieve a better prediction than other classifiers i...

Quality of Life and Cognitive Emotion Regulation Strategies in Multiple Sclerosis Patients
AbstractPoor quality of life (QoL) is common in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, but its impact on cognitive emotion regulation strategies (CERSs) has not yet been extensively investigated. We studied the association between QoL and CERSs in MS patients with taking account socio-demographic variables. Individuals with MS (n  = 198, 76.3% female) reported their QoL and CERSs status using the SF-36 and CERQ-36 questionnaires, respectively. Data on socio-demographic variables were also obtained. Univariate tests and bivariate correlation and regression analysis were used to investigate the association between variable s ...

Preliminary validation of the self-report measure assessing experiences of negative independent and dependent event frequency in Japanese university students
ConclusionsThese findings indicated the acceptable construct validity of the Negative Independent/Dependent Events Scale. However, further research is necessary to establish the discriminant validity of the negative interpersonal dependent events subscale and the negative non-interpersonal dependent events subscale.

Exploring the Association Between Irrational Beliefs, Motivation Regulation and Anxiety in Ultra-Marathon Runners: A Mixed Methods Approach
AbstractResearchers are beginning to explore the antecedents to anxiety symptomology. Such antecedents to anxiety symptomology may be that of irrational beliefs and motivation regulation. It has been intimated that both irrational beliefs and motivation regulation can be risk factors for increased anxiety in athletes. Research is yet to explore the association between these two antecedents, and how and whether they interact in predicting anxiety symptomology. The present paper investigates such associations within two phases. In phase one, we identify the predictive capacity of irrational beliefs and motivation regulation ...

Adolescent Soccer Athletes ’ Irrational Beliefs About Basic Psychological Needs are Related to Their Emotional Intelligence and Mental Health
AbstractThere has been a  scarcity of research regarding the unique mental health risk factors that adolescent athletes face. The recently proposed Rational Emotive Self Determination Scale for Adolescents (RESD-A) has been suggested to understand some of the antecedent and associative factors of adolescent athlete mental health. The principal aim of this study is to examine the structural and criterion validity of the RESD-A in an athlete sample for the first time. To achieve this aim, two hundred and forty-two club level soccer athletes participated in the study. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted to test...

Does Rumination Mediate the Unique Effects of Shame and Guilt on Procrastination?
AbstractProcrastination is common among college students, involving irrational delay of task completion. Theorists understand procrastination to be an avoidance response to negative emotions. Past research suggests that depression and anxiety predict procrastination. However, only limited research has examined the unique effects of shame and guilt —self-conscious emotions—on procrastination, and no studies have examined potential mechanisms. Depressive rumination, the repetitive and maladaptive thinking about a negative event composed of brooding and reflective pondering, is uniquely predicted by shame—but not guiltâ...

Metacognitions About Health in Relation to Coronavirus Anxiety: The Mediating Role of Cognitive Attentional Syndrome and Distress Tolerance
This study provides insights into the relationships among metacognitive beliefs, coronavirus anxiety, CAS, and distress tolerance. In particular, dysfunctional metacognitive beliefs, including an individual's beliefs about the uncontrollability of disease-related thoughts, are risk factors that could negatively affect mental health, leading to coronavirus anxiety. In addition, the association of dysfunctional beliefs with maladaptive behaviors resulting from the cognitive attentional syndrome is also involved in predicting and causing coronavirus anxiety. Given the insignificant role of emotional distress tolerance in the ...

The Socialisation of Athlete Irrational Beliefs
AbstractAccording to Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), humans have a strong biological tendency to adopt self-defeating irrational beliefs which are subsequently driven by the socio-cultural environment one lives in Ellis (J Individ Psychol 32:145 –168, 1976). Sport of all levels presents a unique environment which may serve to explain sport-related irrationalities harboured by athletes given that sport seems to endorse irrationality evident by the language used by key personnel and outlets (e.g., coaches and the media; (Turner in Front Psy chol 7(9):1–16, 2016.https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2016.01423).
