Second, the major causes of burnouts were identified as overwhelming stress due to lack of entrepreneurial experiences and social recognition on counseling and doubt on the efficacy of counseling service. Third, the subjects dealt with burnouts through flexibly managing business, expansion of self-awareness, allotting time for personal life, and joining support groups. The final section discusses what counsellors need to be aware of before starting a counseling business and suggests implication and limitations of the study.

Abstract

Unconditional Self-Acceptance Questionnaire was developed according to Ellis's theory in which global self-rating was believed to be irrational. By utilizing the scale, researchers could measure individuals’ full and unconditional acceptance of themselves regardless of the levels of approval, respect, or love that others do. The aim of the present study was to develop and validate the USAQ. The results showed that USAQ was composed of three factors (i.e., self-acceptance of being, self-acceptance out of discrimination, self-acceptance out of feedback). USAQ was positively correlated with the satisfaction of life, self esteem and negatively associated with anxiety, depression, irrational beliefs and narcissism. Encounter group's unconditional self-acceptance score was highest in three groups and general college group's was higher than client group's. These results indicated that USAQ showed clinical effectiveness in distinguish individuals in self-acceptance.

Abstract

The purpose of study was to identify and evaluate the model concerning causal relations among regulatory focus, self-regulated learning, and mediators (e.g., Anticipated Emotions and Volition on Goal Achievement). Data were collected from 329 college students. Results of the study indicated that the hypothesized model fit the data well. The casual model of the regulatory focus and self-regulated learning indicated that the promotion focus positively influenced the positive anticipated emotion, the negative anticipated emotion, the volition, and the self-regulated learning respectively,. However, the prevention focus negatively influenced the negative anticipated emotion and the volition. The analysis of mediator effects revealed the promotion focus presented a positive effect on self-regulated learning through the anticipated emotions. Likewise, the prevention focus showed a negative effect on the self-regulated learning through negative anticipated emotion. Implications are discussed.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the moderated mediating effect of emotion regulation style through psychological distress on the association between insecure attachment and relationship addiction. A total of 204 undergraduates were asked to complete the questionnaires and the data was analyzed using SPSS 21.0 and its Macro. The main findings were as follow. First, the findings in a correlation analysis indicated that insecure attachment, psychological distress, and relationship addiction were positively correlated. Second, a mediating model showed that an association between insecure attachment and relationship addiction was partially mediated by psychological distress. Third, hierarchical regression analysis showed that a support-seeking emotion regulation style moderated the effect of psychological distress on relationship addiction. Fourth, a support-seeking emotion regulation style also moderated the mediating effect of insecure attachment on relationship addiction through psychological distress. Also implications for counseling practice are discussed and future research suggested.

Abstract

This study was to investigate the relationship between rejection sensitivity(RS) and aggression, and to examine a mediated moderation effect of catastrophic thinking through positive affect. For the purpose of the study, a total of 311 participants completed RS, aggression, positive affect, and catastrophic thinking. Multiple regression analyses were conducted to examine the research model(a mediated moderation model) with comparison to an alternative model(a moderated mediation model). The results were as follows; first, RS was significantly correlated with aggression and catastrophic thinking but not with positive affect. Second, catastrophic thinking partially mediated the relationship between RS and aggression. Third, positive affect moderated the relationship between RS and catastrophic thinking. Lastly the results indicated that mediating effect of catastrophic thinking was moderated by positive affect in relationship between RS and aggression. The results suggest that positive affect buffers the detrimental impact of catastrophic thinking on aggression. Implications of the study were discussed.
