How do mentally tough athletes overcome self-directed anger, shame, and criticism? A self-forgiveness mediation analysis

Abstract: In this study, we examined associations among mental toughness, negative emotions and cognition, and self-forgiveness. A sample of 343 competitive tennis players (Mage = 17.56, SD = 2.37) completed questionnaires measuring their tendency to experience shame, anger, and criticism towards themselves, along with mental toughness and self-forgivingness. Mental toughness correlated negatively with self-oriented shame, anger, and criticism, and positively with self-forgivingness. The effect of mental toughness on both shame and anger towards the self was fully mediated by self-forgiveness, whereas self-forgiveness partially mediated the effect for self-criticism. The findings support the role of self-forgiveness as a mediator in reducing or eliminating self-condemning, resentful, and devaluing responses that athletes direct towards themselves. Developers of mental toughness interventions might consider incorporating a self-forgiveness component to help athletes who make mistakes, underperform, or experience defeats.

The benefits of legislation requiring parental involvement prior to adolescent abortion.

Abstract: The authors present their support of what they consider to be the potentially beneficial aspects of mandatory parental involvement in adolescent pregnancy abortion decision making. Recognizing yet failing to closely consider the case against mandatory parental involvement they support parental involvement legislation as beneficial for the pregnant adolescent her family and family unity. The authors cite research indicating that adolescents tend to underestimate parental support and suggest that parents are able to render needed assistance in the decision making process. Additional research is cited showing the differential quality of adolescent decision making across adolescence and when compared to adults. Where young women fail to notify their parents in such cases they also potentially deprive themselves of parental support. Moreover guilt and anxiety are likely to result from failing to inform her parents of pregnancy and abortion increasing the potential for parent-adolescent alienation. The authors believe that those lacking parental support will be distressed regardless of whether or not they choose to inform their parents of an impending abortion. In so far as benefits to parents are concerned parents are considered ultimately responsible for medical and/or psychological treatment bills from or following an abortion and should be informed in a timely fashion. Adolescent pregnancy may also be seen as a form of rebellion through the exercise of sexual power and my exacerbate intra-familial conflict. Acknowledging the potential for tragic cases with and without legislation the authors advocate legislation. For argument against mandatory parental involvement the authors suggest 5 American Psychologist articles from 1987.

Acute stressors and cortisol responses: a theoretical integration and synthesis of laboratory research.

Abstract: This meta-analysis reviews 208 laboratory studies of acute psychological stressors and tests a theoretical model delineating conditions capable of eliciting cortisol responses. Psychological stressors increased cortisol levels; however, effects varied widely across tasks. Consistent with the theoretical model, motivated performance tasks elicited cortisol responses if they were uncontrollable or characterized by social-evaluative threat (task performance could be negatively judged by others), when methodological factors and other stressor characteristics were controlled for. Tasks containing both uncontrollable and social-evaluative elements were associated with the largest cortisol and adrenocorticotropin hormone changes and the longest times to recovery. These findings are consistent with the animal literature on the physiological effects of uncontrollable social threat and contradict the belief that cortisol is responsive to all types of stressors.
