At both times students reported high levels of psychological distress, as measured by the K10, the General Health Questionnaire and the Brief Symptom Inventory, and low levels of psychological well-being, as measured by the Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale. Students exposed to resilience-building skills embedded in a subject (n = 24) were no less distressed at Time 2 than those not enrolled in that subject (n = 29). The personality traits of emotional resilience (vs. reactivity) and bounce-back resilience measured at Time 1 were the only significant predictors of psychological distress and well-being measured at Time 2. Students with high emotional and bounce-back resilience had lower psychological distress and higher well-being scores. Future research could consider development and trial of a full semester university subject designed to improve students’ resilience knowledge and skills.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:52:21 AEST ]]> Transforming retirement: new definitions of life after work https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15902 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:19:41 AEDT ]]> Common beliefs and reality about PLS: comments on Rönkkö and Evermann (2013) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20627 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:55:47 AEDT ]]>
