Abstract

Moral foundations theory (Haidt & Joseph, 2004) explains why and how liberals and conservatives differ in moral foundations in order to understand the ever-escalating political conflicts between liberals and conservatives. Moral foundations theory suggests that liberals rely more on care/harm and fairness/cheating foundations, whereas conservatives rely more on loyalty/betrayal, authority/subversion, and sanctity/degradation foundations. This research examined universality of the moral foundation theory with Korean samples and causal relation between political orientation and moral concerns by priming. In study 1, five moral foundations were found among Korean samples. It was also found that liberals emphasized care/harm and fairness/cheating foundations more, while conservatives concerned loyalty/betrayal, authority/subversion, and sanctity/degradation foundations primarily. These results showed that the moral foundations theory is applicable with Korean samples. In study 2, priming of political orientation affected moral concerns of participants. Those in liberal priming condition showed more concerns over care/harm and fairness/cheating foundations

Abstract

The present study is aimed to develop and validate the creativity test based on implicit theories of Korean people. In addition, the factor structure developed was used to examine differences by age group. For this purpose, The 313 participants in Korea were investigated from 10 to over 50 years old and descriptive analysis, exploratory factor analysis, analysis of variance, correlation analysis used by SAS 9.1, PASW 18.0 and MPLUS 7.0. As results, the exploratory factor analysis results identified seven factors, namely motivation, originality, leadership, endeavor, personality, attraction, professionalism. Cronbach’s α figures was .60 ~ .91, reliability was good and the discriminant validity with Gough and Heilbrun’s creative personality scale(CPS) was acceptable. To confirm the seven factor score by age group, ANOVA was performed and the result was that motivation, leadership, endeavour, personality, professionalism have been found to be significantly higher at ages greater than younger. This study developed the creativity test based on implicit theories of Korean people to the study and confirmed differences about implicit theories of creativity by age that Sternberg(1985) has been proposed.

Abstract

A survey of 306 middle and high school students of Seoul and GyeongGi-Do was carried out to investigate time perspectives(Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory: Past-negative, past-positive, present-hedonic, present- fatalistic, and future), happiness(COMOSWB), and sex. The result indicated that the past-positive time perspective was the highest score among 5 time perspectives. And School(middle/high)×sex interaction effect was statistically significant. Moreover, 77.4% of the respondents reported that they were happy. Furthermore, past-negative, past-positive, and present-hedonic were significant predictors of happiness. Finally, the past-positive was a significant predictor of happiness for men. However, it was not for women. Some practical implications of the present findings are discussed.

Abstract

Previous research on power revealed power is associated with the approach system. This paper tried to explore the relationships between power and regulatory focus, which seems similar motivational system with BAS/BIS(behavioral activation system/behavioral inhibition system). However, regulatory focus has been regarded as a different motivational system from BAS/BIS, in that regulatory focus can explain the goal state of an action or inaction. Three experiments were conducted. In Study 1 and 2, after manipulating power, participants read a moral dilemma and BAS/BIS and regulatory focus were measured subsequently. In Study 3, control group was included to clarify the changes of regulatory focus after power manipulation. Results showed power manipulation did not affect participants’ BAS/BIS scores after reading a moral scenario. Instead, it changed participants’ regulatory focus, in specific, prevention focus. Prevention focus was more decreased in high-power condition than in both low-power and control conditions. In addition, prevention scores were strongly higher than promotion scores in all the participants. The implications and limitations of this study and the directions for the future research were discussed.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the structural relations among goal-seeking orientation, self-regulated motivation and self-handicapping. One-hundred and eighty five college students completed instruments assessing goal-seeking orientation(growth-seeking, validation-seeking), self-regulated motivation(intrinsic, identified regulation, and introjected regulation) and self-handicapping. Structural analyses showed that growth-seeing contributed positively to intrinsic and identified regulation while validation-seeking contributed positively introjected regulation; intrinsic and identified regulation in turn contributed negatively while introjected regulation contributed positively to self-handicapping. Mediation analyses showed that intrinsic and identified regulation explained the direct effect growth-seeking had on self-handicapping while introjected regulation explained the direct effect validation-seeking had on self-handicapping.
