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.

 Resilience, Risk-Taking Behavior and Aggression among Female Volleyball Players – a Preliminary Study The aim of the current study is to investigate the level of risk-taking behavior, resilience and aggression in female volleyball players and the link between these psychological variables and coach’s performance ranking. A Romanian volleyball team ranked 7th out of 11 in the A1 league in the national championship (2022-2023 period) participated at the study. The Romanian adaptation of the Brief Resilience Scale, The Romanian adaptation of Makarowski’s Stimulating and Instrumental Risk Questionnaire, The Romanian adaptation of Makarowski's Aggression Questionnaire and Delphi method (evaluation of female volleyball players by coaches) were used. Analysis of the results reveals that athletes have a low level of perseverance (Go-Ahead factor), a low level of Foul play and a moderate to low level of assertiveness. Also, most athletes registered average or even low levels of resilience

 Chemo stratigraphic Profile of a Reservoir in Well “X” of Field “Y” Offshore Southern Gabon - Stephy Publishers In a bid to evaluate the elemental and mineralogical content of reservoir samples from the “X” well in the “Y” oil field offshore Southern Gabon, analyses were performed using XRD and XRF. The log view profile of the result inferred that Na, Mg, and Calcite were absent in the shallower series of the reservoir sandstones studied, this observation implies that they are soluble ions that had eroded and refer to warm and humid paleoclimate and a depositional environment that is arid, which corresponds to the continental crust as their source. The plot of Ti and FeO+Mg discriminate the deeper series of the reservoir sandstone samples from the shallower samples. The lower series showed heavier values which implies their origin from Oceanic Crust. These are also the pre-salt facies while the shallower series were more of continental origin and represent the post-salt facies. https:
