This is particularly relevant now as the first generation without firsthand experience of communism at first hand is approaching adulthood. Based on extensive original research and including new survey research amongst young people, this book examines young people's political outlook in countries of the former Soviet Union; it compares and contrasts Russia, where authoritarianism has begun to reassert itself, and Ukraine, which experienced a democrat 410 0$aBASEES/Routledge series on Russian and East European Studies ;$v74. 606 $aPolitical participation$zRussia (Federation) 606 $aYouth$xPolitical activity$zRussia (Federation) 606 $aDemocratization$zRussia (Federation) 606 $aPolitical participation$zUkraine 606 $aYouth$xPolitical activity$zUkraine 606 $aDemocratization$zUkraine 607 $aRussia (Federation)$xPolitics and government$y1991- 607 $aUkraine$xPolitics and government$y1991-2014 615 0$aPolitical participation 615 0$aYouth$xPolitical activity 615 0$aDemocratization 615 0$aPolitical participation 615 0$aYouth$xPolitical activity 615 0$aDemocratization 676 $a323/.0420947 700 $aNikolayenko$b Olena.$01486524 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790096103321 996 $aCitizens in the making in post-Soviet states$93706024 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03929nam 2200421z- 450 001 9910161649503321 005 20210211 035 $a(CKB)3710000001041969 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/43006 035 $a(oapen)doab43006 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000001041969 100 $a20202102d2016 |y 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn|---annan 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aCharacter, Responsibility, and Well-Being: Influences on Mental Health and Constructive Behavior Patterns 210 $cFrontiers Media SA$d2016 215 $a1 online resource (138 p.) 225 1 $aFrontiers Research Topics 311 08$a2-88919-822-7 330 $aCharacter can be defined as self-aware knowledge that helps the individual to set goals, values and ethical principles (Cloninger, 2004). 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
