Exploring the Conceptualization, Operationalization, and Application of Relational Mindfulness

Sigdyal, Pratigya 12 1900 (has links)
Individuals vary in the level of their mental presence during interactions; some individuals are mentally present with others, while others are mired in their thoughts and emotions. Scholarly work on this area is limited, and we know very little about why some individuals display mental presence better than others. In this dissertation, I explore the concept through a series of three essays. In the first essay, I define relational mindfulness as the ability to be mentally present with others. Further, I propose that relational mindfulness has three essential features: others' focus, thought-switching, and emotional acceptance. I operationalize the scale to measure relational mindfulness and investigate its nomological network by correlating it with different constructs. Data from four different samples provide support for the three-factor structure of relational mindfulness and provide support for the relationship of relational mindfulness with related constructs. In the second essay, I explore the relevance of relational mindfulness for front-line employees by investigating the two pathways through which relational mindfulness can reduce fatigue of front-line employees. In the first pathway, I posited that relational mindfulness would decrease the intensity of surface acting of employees when their customers mistreat them, and thus reduce fatigue of employees. In the second pathway, I posited that relational mindfulness would increase the frequency of positive interactions between employees and customers, and thereby decrease fatigue experienced by employees. I tested the model by conducting two different studies. Overall, the results provided support for the posited hypotheses. In the third essay, I tested whether relational mindfulness can be enhanced through a mindfulness meditation by conducting a quasi-experimental study. Two groups; experimental and comparison groups participated in the pre-test, post-test surveys, and weekly surveys during the experiment. The results suggested that participants in both groups increased their relational mindfulness over time and there was no evidence that individuals in the mindfulness group differed from the comparison group.

Présence attentive et satisfaction conjugale en contexte de transition à la parentalité

Morin, Laurence 10 1900 (has links)
La transition à la parentalité est exigeante en raison des nombreux changements et demandes croissantes survenant durant cette période. Lorsque les ressources des parents sont limitées ou que leurs vulnérabilités sont trop grandes pour pouvoir s’adapter au stress, leur détresse psychologique peut se répercuter sur leur relation, ce qui peut à son tour diminuer leur satisfaction conjugale. Une majorité de nouveaux parents rapporte une diminution de leur satisfaction conjugale à l’arrivée de leur premier enfant. Afin d’examiner cette problématique, plusieurs auteurs se questionnent sur les variables pouvant influencer la satisfaction conjugale lors de la transition à la parentalité. Des chercheurs suggèrent d’ailleurs que la présence attentive constitue une ressource individuelle pouvant être associée à plus de satisfaction conjugale durant la transition à la parentalité. L’objectif général de cette thèse par articles est d’évaluer le lien dyadique entre la présence attentive et la satisfaction conjugale des nouveaux parents. Dans le premier article, ce lien est évalué à un niveau global. L’objectif étant d’évaluer les liens dyadiques entre la présence attentive dispositionnelle et la satisfaction conjugale, ainsi que le rôle du stress comme processus médiateur de cette relation. Soixante-dix-huit couples de nouveaux parents (N = 156 participants ; M = 6 mois post-partum) ont participé à l’étude. Les analyses de médiation ont été réalisées avec un modèle de médiation de l'interdépendance acteur partenaire (APIMeM). Au niveau acteur, les résultats révèlent que la présence attentive dispositionnelle des individus est négativement liée à leur stress, qui à son tour est négativement lié à leur satisfaction relationnelle. En outre, bien que toutes les effets partenaires étaient dans les directions attendues, aucun effet significatif n’a été décelé. Les résultats de cette première étude élargissent les connaissances actuelles sur l'association dyadique indirecte entre la présence attentive dispositionnelle et la satisfaction conjugale durant la transition à la parentalité en mettant en évidence le fait que cette relation est médiée par le stress. Le deuxième article porte lui aussi sur l’évaluation du lien dyadique entre la présence attentive et la satisfaction conjugale. Ce lien y est exploré en mesurant deux types de présence attentive, soit la présence attentive générale et la présence attentive relationnelle. Plus encore, la présence attentive y est mesurée au quotidien et les variations intrapersonnelles sont incluses dans les analyses statistiques. Ici aussi, soixante-dix-huit couples (N = 156 participants et 1506 observations) ont pris part à cette deuxième étude. Pendant 14 jours consécutifs, les couples ont rempli des journaux quotidiens mesurant leur niveau de présence attentive générale et relationnelle ainsi que leur satisfaction relationnelle. Les données ont été analysées à l'aide d'un modèle multiniveau avec partenaires distinguables (c-à-d., mère ayant porté le bébé versus partenaire). Les résultats montrent que les jours où les participants rapportent une présence attentive générale et relationnelle supérieure à leur niveau habituel, ils rapportent aussi avoir une plus grande satisfaction conjugale. Des effets partenaires positifs ont également été décelés pour les deux membres de la dyade. Plus précisément, les jours où les parents rapportent plus de présence attentive relationnelle qu’à l’habitude, leur partenaire rapporte plus de satisfaction conjugale. Les résultats issus de cette étude mettent en lumière le rôle central des variations intrapersonnelles de présence attentive dans les liens dyadiques entre la présence attentive et la satisfaction conjugale des nouveaux parents. Plus encore, cette recherche démontre comment la présence attentive relationnelle joue un rôle central dans ce lien dyadique. / The transition to parenthood is particularly demanding because of the accumulating changes and increasing demands during this period. When new parents' resources are limited, or their vulnerabilities are too significant to adapt to the increasing stressors, their distress can spill over into their relationship, negatively influencing their relationship satisfaction. Most new parents report a decrease in relationship satisfaction with the arrival of their first child. To address this issue, several authors have investigated the variables influencing relationship satisfaction during the transition to parenthood. Some point to mindfulness as a potential individual resource associated with greater relationship satisfaction during the transition to parenthood. This dissertation assessed the dyadic relationship between mindfulness and relationship satisfaction among new parents. The first study examined this relationship at a macro level. Specifically, its purpose was to assess the dyadic links between dispositional mindfulness and relationship satisfaction, and the role of stress as an indirect process in this dyadic relationship. A total of 78 new parent couples (N = 156 participants; M = 6 months postpartum) participated in the study. A mediation analysis was conducted with an actor-partner interdependence mediation model (APIMeM). At the actor level, results revealed that individuals' dispositional mindfulness was negatively related to their stress, which in turn was positively linked to their relational satisfaction. Furthermore, although all associations between the individuals and their partner's variables were in the expected directions, no significant partner effects were found. The results of this initial study expand current knowledge about the indirect dyadic association between dispositional mindfulness and relationship satisfaction during the transition to parenthood by highlighting stress as an indirect process underlying this association. The second study also assessed the dyadic relationship between mindfulness and relationship satisfaction. Yet, it explored this dyadic link using two measures of mindfulness, namely general mindfulness and relational mindfulness. Furthermore, mindfulness was measured daily, and within-person variations in this construct were included in the statistical analyses. A total of 78 couples (N = 156 participants and 1506 observations) participated in this second study. For 14 consecutive days, couples completed daily diaries measuring their general and relational mindfulness and relationship satisfaction. Data were analyzed using a multilevel model with distinguishable partners (i.e., childbearing mother versus partner). Overall, on days when participants reported general and relational mindfulness above their usual level, they also reported greater satisfaction within their romantic relationship. Positive partner effects were also found for both dyad members. Specifically, on days when parents reported having more relational mindfulness than usual, their partners also reported greater satisfaction in their relationship. Our results expand current scientific knowledge by highlighting the central role of within-person variations and relational mindfulness in the positive dyadic link between mindfulness and relationship satisfaction among new parents.
