A recent study conducted by researchers at City College of New York explores the concept of virtue ethics and its connection to well-being in psychotherapy. The researchers question whether virtues can lead to well-being in contemporary society, which lacks a consensus on virtues. They propose the concept of "mentalized affectivity" as a form of emotion regulation that is linked to well-being. The study also found that the Mentalized Affectivity Scale (MAS) is a valuable tool for researching emotion regulation, well-being, and psychopathology. Overall, the study suggests that mentalized affectivity could be a promising construct for understanding the relevance of virtue ethics in modern society. [Extracted from the article] |
