The Effects of Worry and Controllability onNeed for Control and Perceived Control
Abstract
This study investigated two cognitive dimensions related to cognitive bias of high worriers. In other words, it compared the perceived control and the need for control of both high worriers and low worriers in controllable and uncontrollable situations. Two cognitive dimensions about control were experimented by seventy seven high worriers and seventy nine low worriers by given controllable and uncontrollable situations. The results were as follows. Firstly, high worriers showed significantly low perceived control compared to low worriers in controllable situation. Secondly, high worriers showed significantly excessive needs for control compared to low worriers in uncontrollable situation. Lastly, high worriers showed a significant gap between perceived control and need for control compared to low worriers. These results suggested that high worriers did not give appropriate cognitive reponses, and they tend to have cognitive bias. This study examined interaction of internal trait factors and situational factors. This method is more elaborate method to investigate a causal mechanism over phenomenon rather than to understand related phenomenons in fragments by confined characters. The study concerned perceived control and need for control related to high worriers cognitive bias, and furthermore it identifies discrepancy between perceived control and need for control as a new index. It also tells us that these cognitive dimensions are the variable that distinguish high worriers group and low worries group. Therefore psychological interventions for high worriers should consider their low perceived control and excessive need for control.
