Preliminary Findings of the Emotional Fitness Profile of Singaporean Adolescents and Adults


The present study identified the conceptualization and construction of an emotional fitness profile in a modern Asian society, Singapore. This study consists of 311 participants who completed the self-report questionnaire. The emotional fitness profile comprised of five dimensions: Identifying emotions of self; Identifying emotions of Others; Ability to cope with emotions (self and social support); Emotional Regulation; and Neuroticism.

Emotional Fitness refers to one’s ability to understand that emotions provide information to the situations around us. It consists of a) one’s ability to identify, express, and regulate their emotions; b) Seeking social support. Individuals who are high in emotional fitness are also better able to perceive challenges as manageable rather than feeling overwhelmed. They also have greater mental and emotional resources to help them bounce back from setbacks and continue stronger than before. These components are chosen as research suggests that individuals who are able to recognize, understand, regulate, and effectively manage their emotions are likely to experience a higher level of psychological well-being and maintain a positive mental state.1,2 Salovey & Mayer2 also showed that the ability to monitor one's own emotions, as well as that of others, and to use this information to guide one's thinking and actions contributed significantly to the explanation of one’s positive mental health.

In addition, this ability can also help individuals to recognize how their decisions can be influenced by their emotional states.3 Furthermore, people who are particularly adept at self-generating positive emotions are more likely to be resilient by bouncing back from setbacks.4 In addition, having better social support networks in general, has been shown to have a strong inverse association with mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, and hostility and a strong positive association with physical health as well as longevity.5-7 The presence of social support is also vital in building one’s resilience in the workplace. Past research examined students wellbeing and had also shown that social support can be particularly beneficial for them to develop a ‘community of learning’, a healthy coping strategy when coping with academic stress.

 Lateral Rock Characteristic Evidence of Hydrocarbon Restoration from Post-Stack Impedance Inversion: A Case Study of ZED-field Offshore Niger Delta Lateral predictions of rock properties that are descriptive of a reservoir have been studied using a model-established seismic inversion approach that was used to convert input seismic data into an acoustic impedance structure to optimize hydrocarbon restoration in the field. This was actualized by integrating wireline logs and 3D post stack seismic data procured from ZED-Field offshore Niger Delta. The inversion system employed in this study comprises of forward modelling of reflection coefficients starting with a low-frequency impedance model induced from well logs and convolution of the reflection coefficients with the source wavelet extracted from the seismic input. P-impedance analysis at reservoir C5000 delineated from the control well gave a near perfect correlation of 0.998109 (≈ 99.8 %) between the original P-impedance log, in...

Prediction of Ionic Liquids Methane Hydrate Average Depression Temperature via COSMO-RS COSMO-RS is a tool used to pre-screen and pair ionic liquids for gas hydrate mitigation. However, the ionic liquids properties estimated from COSMO-RS lack direct connectivity to the determination of the safety margin (hydrate depression temperature) the inhibitor can alter on the hydrate phase boundary conditions. In this study, a parametric function that relates COSMO-RS estimated ionic liquid surface area and hydrogen bonding energies to the methane hydrate average depression temperature (∆T) have been presented. The statistical model in this study was developed using multiple linear regression techniques on about 90 data samples at 10 wt.% ionic liquids. The developed model in this work accurately predicts the methane hydrate average depression temperature with standard error of 3.14 and average deviation error of 0.92. Also, the ionic liquid surface area and hydrogen bonding energy contribute t...

 How to Treat Cancer Properly Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in the world, chemotherapy is effective under some conditions, but has too heavy side effects, and it is not effective to a considerable proportion of cases while the side effects are often life-threatening, drugs (not unhealthy addictive drugs mentioned in reference four, the drug in reference four only mean those makes people addictive but does no good to health, destroying health quickly) are not always available to improve the condition. However, sport is a potential treatment that is effective to cancer before the cancer is disseminated, this gets little attention but is true both in theory and practice. The physical activities that have moderate intensity and duration should have devastating effects on cancer cells, they make the body hot and reduce the nutritional resources that cancer cells can get, also renew the proteins in the body and improve one’s mood, cancer cells are hard to live when one is activ...
