Losing sleep over work: A self‐determination theory view on need frustration, sleep disturbance, and mental ill health

Christopher P. Niemiec, Anja H. Olafsen, Hallgeir Halvari, Geoffrey C. Williams

Given the centrality of sleep and work in most individuals' lives, it is interesting to note that an empirical understanding of the association between what happens in the workplace and how well people sleep is in an early stage of development, at least relative to other topics that are of interest in the literature on stress and health. Using self‐determination theory, the current study examined...

Geoffrey C. Williams, Pedro J. Teixeira, Eliana V. Carraça, Ken Resnicow

Cross-Cultural Advancements in Positive Psychology > Human Autonomy in Cross-Cultural Context > Human Autonomy Across Cultures and Domains of Life: Health, Education, Interpersonal Relationships, and Work > 133-162

In this chapter, we review the self-determination theory perspective and current empirical evidence linking personal autonomy with physical well-being within and across cultures. Physical well-being consists of physical health and health-related behaviors (e.g., tobacco use, nutrition, physical activity, medication adherence). It is our thesis that a clear understanding of the relation between autonomy...

Amir Abdolahi, Geoffrey C. Williams, Curtis G. Benesch, Henry Z. Wang, more

Addictive Behaviors > 2015 > 51 > Complete > 24-30

Recent evidence suggests that the insular cortex may play an important role in cognitive and emotional processes that facilitate drug use but it is unclear whether changes to the insula would result in sustained abstinence. To better understand the role of the insula in maintaining abstinence, we examined quitting patterns in smokers with acute damage to their insula relative to other regions.Prospective...

Amir Abdolahi, Geoffrey C. Williams, Curtis G. Benesch, Henry Z. Wang, more

Addiction > 110 > 12 > 1994 - 2003

Background and AimsCurrent pharmacotherapies for tobacco dependence are generally well tolerated, but have relatively high rates of relapse. They target primarily the brains’ mesocorticolimbic ‘reward’ pathway. However, recent evidence suggests that the insular cortex, a central cerebral hemispheric region historically overlooked in addiction models, may also play an important role in cognitive and...

Patient-centered financial incentives for health: Can employers get change for their dollars?

Jeffrey T. Kullgren, Geoffrey C. Williams, Lawrence C. An

Healthcare > 2013 > 1 > 3-4 > 82-85

While employer-sponsored financial incentives for healthy behaviors have demonstrated the potential to promote short-term employee behavior change, the effectiveness of such incentives in promoting long-term health behavior change has often been disappointing. This paucity of sustained change could be explained by the many factors that shape employees' health behaviors, only some of which may be influenced...

Geoffrey C. Williams, Heather Patrick, Christopher P. Niemiec, Richard M. Ryan, more

Contemporary Clinical Trials > 2011 > 32 > 4 > 535-543

A previous randomized clinical trial based on self-determination theory (SDT) and consistent with the Public Health Service (PHS) Guideline for Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence demonstrated that an intensive intervention could change autonomous self-regulation and perceived competence, which in part facilitated long-term tobacco abstinence. The current article describes a pragmatic comparative...

Integrating Motivational Interviewing and Self-Determination Theory With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to Prevent Suicide

Peter C. Britton, Heather Patrick, Amy Wenzel, Geoffrey C. Williams

Cognitive and Behavioral Practice > 2011 > 18 > 1 > 16-27

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been found to be effective in preventing suicide-related behavior. However, it is often difficult to engage patients who are at-risk in treatment. Motivational Interviewing (MI) has been shown to increase treatment engagement and improve treatment outcomes when it is used to complement other treatments. As a general theory of human motivation that is consistent...
