This meta-cognitive dimension of human personality involves 'Theory of Mind', and is positively related to measures of well-being, mental health, and constructive behavior patterns. Research from at least three different fields, cultural (Shweder, Much, Mahapatra & Park, 1997), personality (Cloninger, 2004), and social psychology (Abele & Wojcizke, 2007) suggest that character can be organized along three broad principles: agency, which is related to the autonomy and the fulfillment and enhancement of the self; communion, which is related to engagement in the protection and relations to others such as families, companies or nations; and spirituality, which is related to the human ability to transcend the self and find and interconnection with all life and appreciation of the whole world around us (Haidt, 2006; Cloninger, 2013). Using the Temperament and Character Inventory (Cloninger, Svrakic & Przybeck, 1993) researchers have found that agentic (i.e., Self-directedness) and communal (i.e., Cooperativeness) values are associated to high levels of happiness, psychological well-being, and less violent behavior. Moreover, low Self-directedness and Cooperativeness is recurrent among individuals with all types of mental health problems, such as, depression, schizophrenia, anxiety disorder, autism spectrum disorders, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and et cetera. Spirituality, in coherence with agency and communion, guides the individual to seek self-realization in harmony with others and nature in the changing world (Cloninger, 2013). Seeing character as self-awareness of the self in three dimensions has also been associated to human responsibility and empowerment. This Research Topic will focus on all article types that put forward findings regarding: ?Character as a protective factor against mental illness ?Character's association to conduct disorders and violent behavior ?Character as a promoter of happiness, life satisfaction, and well-being ?The etiology of character ?Longitudinal studies on character ?Agency, communion, and spirituality as broad dimensions for the conceptualization of positive measures of mental health ?Innovative methods to measure or conceptualize character ?Non-linear effects of character on mental health ?Character as a measure/conceptualization of responsibility ?Character in school and work place settings ?Character in relation to empowerment. 517 $aCharacter, Responsibility, and Well-Being 606 $aPsychology$2bicssc 610 $aCharacter 610 $aPersonality 610 $aresponsibility 610 $aVirtues 610 $aWell-being 615 7$aPsychology 700 $aDanilo Garcia$4auth$01303424 702 $aAnn-Christine Andersson Arnten$4auth 702 $aTrevor Archer$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910161649503321 996 $aCharacter, Responsibility, and Well-Being: Influences on Mental Health and Constructive Behavior Patterns$93027027 997 $aUNINA LEADER 06992oam 2200589zu 450 001 9910150234103321 005 20210721060745.0 010 $a0-273-75104-2 035 $a(CKB)2670000000146903 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000600383 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12263214 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000600383 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10599698 035 $a(PQKB)10555843 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5242659 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL5242659 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL462964 035 $a(OCoLC)1027141316 035 $a(CaSebORM)9780273740827 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000146903 100 $a20160829d2010 uy 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe rules of life : a personal code for living a better, happier, more successful kind of life 205 $a2nd ed. 210 31$a[Place of publication not identified]$cPrentice Hall Life$d2010 215 $a1 online resource (241 pages) 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 $a0-273-74082-2 327 $aCover -- The Rules of Life -- Contents -- Introduction -- Acknowledgements -- Rules for You -- Keep It Under Your Hat -- You'll Get Older but Not Necessarily Wiser -- Accept What Is Done Is Done -- Accept Yourself -- Know What Counts and What Doesn't -- Dedicate Your Life to Something -- Be Flexible in Your Thinking -- Take an Interest in the Outside World -- Be on the Side of the Angels, Not the Beasts -- Only Dead Fish Swim with the Stream -- Be the Last to Raise Your Voice -- Be Your Own Adviser -- No Fear, No Surprise, No Hesitation, No Doubt -- I Wish I'd Done That - and I Will -- It's Ok to Give Up -- Count to Ten - or Recite 'baa Baa Black Sheep' -- Change What You Can Change, Let Go of the Rest -- Aim to Be the Very Best at Everything You Do - Not Second Best -- Don't Expect to Be Perfect -- Don't Be Afraid to Dream -- If You're Going to Jump Off a Bridge, Make Sure You Know How Deep the Water Is -- Don't Dwell on the Past -- Don't Live in the Future -- Get on with Life - It's Whooshing Past -- Be Consistent -- Dress Like Today Is Important -- Have a Belief System -- Leave a Little Space for Yourself Each Day -- Have a Plan -- Have a Sense of Humour -- Choose How You Make Your Bed -- Life Can Be a Bit Like Advertising -- Get Used to Stepping Outside Your Comfort Zone -- Learn to Ask Questions -- Have Dignity -- It's Ok to Feel Big Emotions -- Keep the Faith -- You'll Never Understand Everything -- Know Where True Happiness Comes from -- Life Is a Pizza -- Always Have Someone - or Something - That Is Pleased to See You -- Know When to Let Go - When to Walk Away -- Retaliation Leads to Escalation -- Look After Yourself -- Maintain Good Manners in All Things -- Prune Your Stuff Frequently -- Remember to Touch Base -- Draw the Lines Around Yourself -- Shop for Quality, Not Price -- It's Ok to Worry, or to Know How Not to -- Stay Young. 327 $aThrowing Money at a Problem Doesn't Always Work -- Think for Yourself -- You Are Not in Charge -- Have Something in Your Life That Takes You Out of Yourself -- Only the Good Feel Guilty -- If You Can't Say Anything Nice, Don't Say Anything at All -- Partnership Rules -- Accept the Differences, Embrace What You Have in Common -- Allow* Your Partner the Space to Be Themselves -- Be Nice -- You Want to Do What?
