- ItemOpen AccessA diszpozicionális hála és a mentális egészség kapcsolata várandós nők körében(2022) Ferenczi Andrea; Kövi ZsuzsannaBACKGROUND – Becoming a mother, that is the forty weeks of pregnancy, is a highlighted stage of life for a woman. It is a defining period for both the mother and her child, who is to be born. Furthermore, gestation can be understood as a normative crisis as well, during which numerous psychological problems may evolve. Therefore, the preservation of mental health and support provided for women are especially important in prenatal care. GOALS – The purpose of this study is to examine the role of gratitude, appreciation, subjective well-being, and social support – as momentous constructs of health psychology – in assisting mental health in the lives of pregnant women and to explore the relations between these variables. METHODS – 79 pregnant women participated in our online, qualitative investigation; 36 of them had been writing gratitude diaries for 4 weeks. We compared the questionnaires’ results (filled out both before and after the intervention) of the experimental group (n = 36) with the results of the control group (n = 43) similarly filled out on two different occasions. The following instruments were used in our study: Gratitude, Resentment, and Appreciation Test; Appreciation Scale; Subjective Well-Being Questionnaire; MOS Social Support Survey. RESULTS – Higher appreciation and dispositional gratitude correlate with a higher sense of subjective well-being and a better perception of social support. In the experimental group, writing a gratitude diary was followed by a significant positive change in all questionnaires: the scores for gratitude, appreciation, subjective well-being, and social support increased. CONCLUSIONS – Dispositional gratitude that can be improved by such a simple intervention as writing a gratitude diary is a useful means of supporting the mental health of pregnant women and thereby of preserving and promoting their psychological and physical well-being. Besides medical healthcare, expectant women are in particular need of professional mental support, wherefore it is important not only to maintain their physical health but also to introduce new methods that assist mentally the well-being of pregnant persons.

- ItemOpen AccessGratitude, Religiousness and Well-Being(2021) Ferenczi Andrea; Tanyi Zsuzsanna; Mirnics Zsuzsanna; Kovács Dóra; Mészáros Veronika; Hübner Andrea; Kövi ZsuzsannaBackground: Previous research has identified the positive effects of gratitude on happiness and well-being. It has been found that spirituality can enhance gratitude and well-being. Our study aimed to examine the link between gratitude and subjective well-being among religious and non-religious people. Furthermore, we tested if a 4-week long gratitude diary has a positive effect on subjective well-being. Subjects and methods: In our online, qualitative investigation the sample consisted of 54 males and 169 females (mean age = 39.13, SD=15.90). 54.1% of respondents regarded themselves as “religious with a given religion”, 24.8% as “religious on my own way”, and 21.2% as “non-religious”. The experimental group (leading a gratitude diary for 4 weeks) with 103 individuals and a control group with 120 individuals with no differences in age, gender, and religiousness. We compared the questionnaires’ results (filled out both before and after the intervention) of the experimental group (n=103) with the results of the control group (n=120) similarly filled out on two different occasions. We applied the Gratitude Resentment and Appreciation Test and the Subjective Well-being Scale. Results: Our results showed that religious people showed an elevated level of gratitude (F(2, 219)=23.66, p<0.001), but the same well-being (F(2, 219)=1.97, p=0.142) compared to non-religious groups. In the experiment group, gratitude and subjective well-being both increased (p<0.01), and there were no significant changes in the control group. 2x2 ANOVA showed significant interaction effect (Subjective well-being: (F(1, 221)=13.32, p<0.001); Gratitude: F(1, 221)=12.43, p<0.001). Conclusion: Religiousness is linked to higher gratitude and an increase in gratitude can result in an increase in subjective well-being. The importance of gratitude diary both among religious and non-religious people will be discussed.
- ItemOpen AccessRelations Between God-Images and Early Maladaptive Schemas(2021) Ferenczi Andrea; Mirnics Zsuzsanna; Kövi ZsuzsannaOur God-image not only determines the nature of our relationship with God, it also influences our personality, actions, self-concept, mindset, and social relations. It acts within and through us. Although everyone has a God-image regardless of whether one is a believer or not-same congregation gives accounts of diverse God images. Schema is a widely used term in psychology. Schemas describe cognitive structures that filter, encode and interpret the stimuli affecting the person. They can influence the perception of reality, which later impacts the behavior and mood of the individual and in severe cases can result in pathology. The factors influencing the God-image and early maladaptive schemas both have proven roots in early childhood and are impacted by the child-parent relationship. Our research focuses on examining the connection between maladaptive schemas and the God-image and their relation to parental influence. Keywords: religiosity - God-image - early maladaptive schemas - attachment
- ItemOpen AccessThe validity and reliability of the hungarian version of the brief work-family conflict questionnaire – an effective method to measure work-to-family and family-to-work conflict(2022) Mészáros Veronika; Kövi Zsuzsanna; Blanch, Angel; Ferenczi Andrea; Tanyi Zsuzsanna; Karai Virág; Hittner, James Bryant; Kulig Barbara; Kovács Dóra; Smohai Máté; Ádám SzilviaThe current study aimed to investigate the validity and reliability of the Hungarian version of the brief Work-Family Conflict Questionnaire (Conflicto Trabajo – Familia, CCTF) using both homogeneous (social care workers, N = 206) and heterogeneous (N = 586) occupational samples. In order to examine construct validity, we explored both two-factor and bifactor models. Our findings provided greater support for the two-factor model (homogeneous sample: χ 2 = 14.032, p = .379, df = 13; CFI = 0.999; NNFI = 0.998; RMSEA = 0.020 [0.000–0.051]; heterogeneous sample: χ 2 = 40.213, p < .001 df = 13; CFI = 0.993; NNFI = 0.985; RMSEA = 0.060 [0.023–0.079]). Our results demonstrated good reliability (ω = 0.797–0.911) and predictive validity, which we tested by exploring the relation of the construct with burnout and psychosomatic symptoms. Our results suggest that the Hungarian version of the CCTF is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring both work-tofamily and family-to-work conflict.
