High-Level and Low-Level Awareness

862
Controlled processes in human consciousness represent high-alert mental states where individuals deliberately focus their attention on achieving specific goals. Controlled processes can be seen in situations like mastering new technology, where a person might become so absorbed that they ignore surrounding distractions. Such processes involve selective attention, requiring one to concentrate on particular elements of experience while disregarding others. These are governed by executive...

Introspection

387
Introspection, long upheld as a reliable route to self-knowledge, involves examining one's thoughts, emotions, and mental processes. It underpins many psychological practices, from mindfulness meditation to psychotherapy and self-help strategies. However, empirical evidence challenges the accuracy of introspection as a means of understanding oneself.Limitations of Introspective InsightSeminal work by Nisbett and Wilson demonstrated that individuals are frequently unaware of the true causes...

Modeling in Therapy

627
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

Steps in the Modeling Process

753
Albert Bandura's theory of observational learning identifies four critical processes: attention, retention, motor reproduction, and reinforcement or motivation.
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...

Metacognition01:26

Metacognition

945
Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing. They notice that their characters lack depth or details. This realization occurs because the writer is reflecting on their...

The Scientific Method

66.7K
Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.

Area of Science:

  • Organizational Psychology
  • Cognitive Science
  • Workplace Well-being

Background:

  • Growing interest in mindfulness at work due to empirical evidence of positive impacts.
  • Theoretical tension exists between mindfulness as a "Being" mode and workplace functioning as a "Doing" mode.
  • Limited understanding of how professionals experience the integration of "Being" and "Doing" at work.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore professionals' lived experiences of being mindful at work.
  • To investigate the interplay between "Being" and "Doing" cognitive modes in the workplace.
  • To develop an inductive model of mindfulness at work.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted 39 semi-structured interviews with professionals.
  • Analyzed interview data to identify patterns in the experience of mindfulness at work.
  • Developed an inductive model based on qualitative findings.

Main Results:

  • Identified two primary experiences: Entanglement (inability to activate "Being" during "Doing") and Disentanglement (simultaneous co-activation of "Being" and "Doing").
  • Observed varying compatibility between "Being" and "Doing" modes across individuals and situations.
  • Disentanglement served as a valuable resource to mitigate limitations of a "Doing"-dominant approach.

Conclusions:

  • Mindfulness at work involves a dynamic interplay between "Being" and "Doing" modes.
  • The experience of "Disentanglement" offers significant benefits for workplace functioning.
  • The developed model integrates core experiences, outcomes, and antecedents to guide future research and practice.
