Breathwork and holistic wellbeing: a protocol for a scoping review
Beauchamp, Fern Eleanor; Bispo, Emily; Galinha, Iolanda Costa; Kemp, Andrew H.Breathwork has great potential for supporting connections to self, others, and nature, laying the foundations for individual, collective, and planetary wellbeing. While reviews have summarised the impacts of a wide range of breathwork techniques on outcomes relating to individual wellbeing, past work has neglected broader contexts. Here we present a protocol for a scoping review to identify and summarise the av...
MindRegulation-SEL: randomized controlled trial of the effects of a relaxation ...
Galinha, Iolanda Costa; Carvalho, Joana Leite da Cunha Sampaio de; Oliveira, Ana Cristina Pires de; Arriaga, Patrícia; Gaspar, Augusta D.Background: Mental imagery has long been used in psychological therapies, but only recently did research begin to provide a scientific background for it. Imagery interventions are inexpensive and a substantial body of research supports their effectiveness on anxiety reduction, behavior change, promotion of health outcomes, and adherence to medical interventions, in both adults and children. However, literature ...

Galinha, Iolanda Costa; Oishi, Shigehiro; Pereira, Cícero; Wirtz, DerrickThe study tests two competing theoretical perspectives on the relationship between personal values and global life satisfaction, and the mediation of life domain satisfaction, contributing with novel empirical data across three countries and continents: United States (N = 497), North America; Mozambique (N = 544), Africa; and Portugal (N = 541), Europe. Structural equation modelling showed that personal values ...

Authenticity is associated with psychological and subjective well‐being: conver...
Galinha, Iolanda Costa; Balbino, Isabel Faustino; Devezas, Miguel Ângelo; Trigo, Beatriz ReginaIn a community sample of 301 participants, association analyses between authenticity and psychological and subjective well-being show strong and moderate associations, respectively, with implications for humanistic theory and counselling. The results also show convergence between self-reports and informants' reports on life satisfaction and authenticity, providing novel scientific contributions.
Factors predicting adherence to artistic-singing groups for older adults and th...
Galinha, Iolanda Costa; Pinal, Diego; Lima, Maria LuísaObjectives: Group singing (GS), as an art-based intervention, has demonstrated a wide range of biopsychosocial benefits in older adult participants. However, the factors that predict the adherence of older adults to these programs and that moderate the intervention outcomes were not yet studied, which is the aim of this study. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was developed to test the efficacy of a GS int...
Sing4Health: Randomised controlled trial of the effects of a singing group prog...
Galinha, Iolanda Costa; García‐Martín, Miguel Ángel; Lima, Maria LuísaGroup singing may be an optimal intervention strategy to promote active ageing and well-being; however, evidence with experimental validity is scarce. This study aims to fill this gap by analysing the effects of a 34-session singing group programme (SGP) on participants' subjective and social well-being and the mediating roles of social identification with the singing group and of self-esteem. An RCT with inter...
Intervention and mediation effects of a community-based singing group on older ...
Galinha, Iolanda Costa; Fernandes, Helder Miguel; Lima, Maria Luísa; Palmeira, António LabisaObjective To examine short- and long-term effects of a group singing program on older adults' perceived physical and mental health levels, and also investigate subjective well-being (life satisfaction, positive/negative affect and hedonic balance), body balance and serum biomarkers (C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate) as putative mediating mechanisms, controlling for the cognitive status of t...
