Abstract
The cognitive model of depression has underlined the importance of cognitive distortion, suggesting that having distorted perceptions relative to reality is related to depression. In the present research, we examined whether negatively distorted meta-perceptions of own personality is associated with depression. Meta-perception is one form of person perception regarding how people believe others see them. In this study, we investigated the relation between negatively distorted meta-perception and depression by comparing participants’ meta-ratings of their own personality to their friends’ ratings of them. Data for this study included 131 Korean and 77 American college students. Korean and American students completed questionnaires to assess meta-perception of their personality and depression. Participants’ friends responded to the same questionnaire to describe the participants’ personality. In both samples, negatively distorted meta-perception was positively related to depression. This negative relation was not moderated by culture. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
Abstract
The present study examined the motivational benefits of providing a rationale as a strategy to support ones, helping behavior. In this study, we tested find out if autonomous helping motivation, willingness to help, and positive affect can be activated by introducing experimental research. We tested a motivation mediation model, based on self-determination theory. A model proposed that (1) having an externally provided rational that would facilitate one’s autonomous helping motivation(perceived autonomy and perceived importance) and (2) The extent of the autonomous helping motivation would, in turn, predict the willingness to help positive affect. Participants read on prosocial activity after either receiving a rationale or not receiving one. Participants received the rationale showed greater autonomous helping motivation, willingness to help, and positive affect than did participants without the rationale. Structural equation modeling analyses supported the hypothesized model such that presence of the rationale increased autonomous helping motivation, willingness to help and positive affect. Results are discussed in terns of a model of effect on providing a rationale(Jang, 2008). The discussion highlights the role that externally-provided rationales can promote autonomous helping motivation, willingness to help and positive affect.
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to verify whether community resilience is an important mediating factor in the relationship between world assumption and well being of the Sewol ferry disaster in general citizens. Particularly, in the long term, we tried to confirm the mediating effects of community resilience. To do this, we carried out two online surveys at 21month intervals for adults in 20s to 60s. A total of 1156 data were collected at the first time point, and a total of 485 data were collected at the second time point. In this study 307 respondents who reported that they were significantly affected by the change in beliefs due to the Sewol ferry disaster were used, except for those directly related to the Sewol ferry disaster. As a result, in the case of the meaninglessness of world model, community resilience factor had a full mediation effect because the direct path of the primary meaninglessness of world and the secondary well being was not significant. In the case of the unbenevolence of world and unworthiness of the self model, community resilience factor had a partial mediation effect. In addition, a multiple group analysis was performed to confirm the difference according to previous trauma. As a result, the longitudinal mediating effects of community resilience was significant in both group, but there was no significant difference in path coefficients of study model between non-previous trauma and previous trauma group. Based on the results of this study, implications and limitations of the study and suggestions for future research were discussed.
