Abstract
The present study aimed to test the incremental validity of narrative identity in predicting psychological well-being based on McAdams’s three-level model of personality. We analyzed the data from 93 participants who consistently participated in a six-month longitudinal study. At Time 1, participants completed measures of Big-Five personality (level 1 personality; dispositional traits), resilience and optimism (level 2 personality; characteristic adaptations), and psychological well-being (criterion variable). Six months later (Time 2), the participants rated the same measures as the ones used at Time 1 and additionally wrote a story explaining how they had become the person they were (level 3 personality; narrative identity). The results showed that narrative identity was significantly related to psychological well-being assessed at Time 2, controlling for Level 1 and Level 2 variables assessed at Time 1. Furthermore, the positive link between narrative identity and psychological well-being remained significant after controlling for Level 1 and Level 2 variables assessed at Time 2. These findings suggest that narrative identity has an incremental validity in predicting psychological well-being, which supports our hypothesis. The present study demonstrates the importance of examining all three levels of personality to fully understand a person and attests the value of narrative identity in personality research.
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the reliability and validity of the Comprehensive Assessment of Psychopathic Personality-Institutional Rating Scale(CAPP-IRS) in Korea. Eighty nine inmates at correctional prisons across provinces participated in the study. We compared the CAPP-IRS’ psychometric properties to those of the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised(PCL-R) and Psychopathic Personality Inventory-Revised(PPI-R). As a result, the CAPP-IRS showed good to excellent interrater reliability and good test-restest reliability. The CAPP-IRS also showed overall good associations with interview-based PCL-R and self-reporting based PPI-R, which means good concurrent validity. Our findings suggest that the CAP-IRS approved clinical utility for the assessment, diagnosis, and intervention in Korea.
Abstract
Due to the wide spread of COVID-19, wearing masks has become essential in daily lives. Despite increasing rates of vaccination in many Western countries, mask wearing is still considered as one of the most efficient ways of preventing COVID-19. Thus, the investigation of attitudes towards mask wearing could entail numerous implications. Furthermore, although some studies have confirmed people's positive explicit attitudes toward mask wearing after COVID-19, there is still a lack of research investigating their implicit attitudes towards it. Thus, it is academically intriguing to examine and compare the two specific attitudes towards mask wearing. To fulfil this objective, we explored and compared explicit as well as implicit attitudes, measured by IAT (Implicit Association Test), toward mask wearing and lastly examined several psychological factors that could influence the two attitudes. The results revealed that participants explicitly and implicitly perceived mask wearing as safe and that the two attitudes were significantly correlated. Unlike the attitudes towards mask wearing, however, participants still associated faces covered by a rectangular, black object with threat. Interestingly, we found the motive of disease avoidance to be positively related to both explicit and implicit attitudes towards mask wearing. The results implicate that people have indeed internalized social norms of encouraging mask wearing in the face of threatening COVID-19 situations, and the levels of internalization could vary depending on the degree to which they are motivated to avoid diseases.
Abstract
Focusing on how people perceive a person who makes a decision based on risk-reward levels, this study tested whether choosing a high risk-reward option leads to perceiving the decision-maker as of lower socioeconomic status, and whether this perception leads to underestimating the target’s emotional and physical pain. Therefore, we set the perceived socioeconomic status as a mediator. For the exploratory purposes, we set the target’s gender as a moderator and the target’s risk-taking tendency as a mediator. We found that participants perceived the socioeconomic status of the target who made the high (vs. low) risk-reward decision, as lower (vs. higher) and estimated the target’s physical pain as lower (vs. higher). There was no difference in the estimation of emotional pain depending on the risk-reward level. In addition, contrary to our predictions the effect of risk-reward level on pain estimation was found to be independent of socioeconomic status perception. The results of this study indicate that just as the risk-reward information can influence the choice of decision maker, it could also influence the observer’s perception of the decision makers.
