title: Relationships between Emotional Schemas, Mindfulness, Self Compassion and Unconditional Self Acceptance on the Regulation of Psychological Needs
abstract: Emotional schemas are pervasive mental structures associated with a wide array of psychological symptoms, while mindfulness, self compassion, and self acceptance are viewed as adaptive psychological constructs. Psychological needs may be described as the cornerstone of mental health and well being. However, a study of the relationships between emotional schemas, mindfulness, self compassion, and self acceptance with psychological needs was not performed. For this purpose, 250 subjects (M=20.67, SD=4.88, Male=33, Female=217) were evaluated through self report questionnaires, in a cross sectional design. Negative correlations were found between emotional schemas, mindfulness, self compassion, unconditional self acceptance, and psychological needs. Symptomatology was positively correlated with emotional schemas. Mindfulness, self compassion, and unconditional self acceptance predicted the regulation of psychological needs and mediated the relationship between emotional schemas and psychological needs. Emotional schemas may be associated with a tendency for experiential avoidance of internal reality, self rejection/shame and self criticism which may impair the regulation of psychological needs. These variables may be targets of integrative case conceptualization and clinical decision making focused on patient's timings, styles of communication and needs.

title: LGBQ+ Self Acceptance and Its Relationship with Minority Stressors and Mental Health: A Systematic Literature Review
abstract: Many individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, and with other non heterosexual orientations (LGBQ+ experience stigma, prejudice, and/or discrimination because of their sexuality. According to minority stress and identity development theories, these experiences can contribute to difficulties with self acceptance of sexuality. Lower self acceptance is considered a risk factor for adverse mental health outcomes. The current review aims to investigate whether self acceptance of sexuality is associated with minority stressors or difficulties with mental health in LGBQ+ individuals, as well as whether there are differences in self acceptance between different sexual orientations. Five bibliographic databases were searched. Thirteen studies were identified which used quantitative methodology to investigate associations between self acceptance, minority stressors, and/or mental health within LGBQ+ samples, or differences in self acceptance between different sexual orientations. The results from these cross sectional studies suggested that lower self acceptance of sexuality was associated with higher levels of self reported minority stressors, including a lack of acceptance from friends and family, a lack of disclosure to others, and internalized heterosexism. Lower self acceptance of sexuality was associated with poorer mental health outcomes, including greater global distress, depression symptoms, and lower psychological well being. There was no significant relationship with suicidality. Studies also found that LGBQ+ individuals had lower general self acceptance compared to heterosexual participants, bisexual individuals had lower sexuality self acceptance compared to lesbian/gay individuals, and lesbian women had lower sexuality self acceptance compared to gay men. Given the potential importance of self acceptance for LGBQ+ populations, further research is required with more robust methodology. Self acceptance could be a potential target in clinical interventions for LGBQ+ individuals.

title: The Relationship Between Assistance Satisfaction and Negative Affect in Long Term Social Assistance Recipients in China: The Moderating Role of Self Acceptance
abstract: Public welfare in China is less universal, comprehensive, and generous when compared with other welfare regimes, especially for individuals with occupational disease. The assistance satisfaction of Chinese pneumoconiosis patients, a typical group of long term social assistance recipients, has been linked to diminished health and psychological well being. Self acceptance is theorized to promote well being, which may buffer the negative consequences of negative emotion on assistance satisfaction. This research was conducted based on the survey data of 1,345 patients in typical mining areas of China. In addition to single factor analysis of variance, descriptive analysis, and correlation analysis, a cluster analysis was performed to explore the profiles of participants' ratings of assistance satisfaction with five governing subjects: government, employing unit, medical institution, welfare organization, and laborer themselves. The results were as follows: (1) Social assistance satisfaction perceived by Chinese long term social assistance recipients was at an average level, wherein self assistance satisfaction perception was the lowest among five dimensions. (2) The overall perception of assistance satisfaction of Chinese long term social assistance recipients was significantly correlated with educational background and household monthly income; specifically, the participants with higher levels of education and lower levels of income were more likely to have higher assistance satisfaction perception. (3) Cross analysis showed that participants with higher assistance satisfaction were mainly from the low high group, having a lower level of negative affect, and higher level of self acceptance. (4) The average negative affect level was above the scale midpoint (3.65) and negatively associated with each of the assistance satisfaction ratings. (5) The analysis yielded three distinct profiles medium (19.26% high (40% and low (40.74% according to their degree of assistance satisfaction. Relative to the other profiles, low assistance satisfaction participants reported greater levels of negative affect in their daily life. However, self acceptance moderated these effects, but no moderating effect was detected for individuals reporting greater levels of assistance satisfactory. Purpose is proved empirically a positive asset for promoting psychological adjustment in the period of receiving social assistance for Chinese long term social assistance recipients.
