We're going to be presenting preliminary results from one of our value clarification studies at the British Psychological Society Division of Clinical Psychology Conference on March 2nd-3rd. Hope to see you there! #values #valueclarification #meaning Shane McLoughlin Dr Rosie Pendrous Kevin Hochard

One famous value clarification exercise asks up what we would like people to say about us when we're gone. We will remember ACT Auntie as kind, compassionate, talented, and an inspiration. Here is a slide from one of our classes inspired by one of Louise's many engaging videos:

Many people I talk to describe work as being far more relentless & transactional. Much of the informal support from teams has been replaced with back-to-back, formal meetings. Here are 2 downloadable tools to help push back - please feel free to share. workingwithact.com/2021/02/23/hum…

Interesting study on values, coincidentally by one of the most famous cog psychs to also study relational reasoning: People exposed to moral absolutism were less willing to steal, people exposed to moral relativism were more willing to cheat. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Just logged in to the BPS Division of Clin Psych conference portal. This year's conference theme is on #values in psychological therapy. Here is what we're presenting... Shane McLoughlin Dr Rosie Pendrous Kevin Hochard

Really liked this paper by Emmie Hebert et al. on how including a values component makes people more likely to approach aversive stimuli. In the plot below, we have Control, Tickets (token reward), and Tickets + Values on the X axis, and Approach on the Y. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Check out our new study here. A brief acceptance and value clarification intervention helped to improve students' social resilience. :)

We have 50 days free access to our new JCBS article testing the effects of three ultra-brief interventions (acceptance and values / cognitive restructuring / psychoeducation) for improving social resilience. Please RT and check out the link here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1d5at7s~yKIN… :)

Here is a new video summarising our latest paper. Brief, non-expert-delivered acceptance, values, and cognitive restructuring interventions helped students to stay socially engaged despite experiencing negative affect following ostracism #MeaningfulMay youtu.be/fc1m0MlxwbY

Great new paper on changes in personal values during the pandemic: journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.117…

Hey everyone - we (Kevin Hochard Dr Alison Stapleton Shane McLoughlin) have an exciting new study underway assessing how clear people are on their values. If you have 15 minutes, we would be very grateful if you were to participate and/or share! ljmupsych.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8B…

This is my favorite paper of 2021 so far. An experimental study showing that values propagate across relational networks. Interestingly, two pts rated a "neutral" stimulus as being very meaningful to them. This wasn't an error - they later treated it as being meaningful. #RFT

We talk lots about *values* in Aphasia Book Club. All our patrons say their values changed after stroke. 🤞 for an #aphasia friendly version of this study in future 👍 Valued Action Research Dana Wong
