Abstract

The present study aimed to clarify the relationship between narcissistic personality, relational power status, and infidelity intention. Based on the person × situation interaction perspective, the each effect of narcissistic personality as personal factor and relational power status as situational factor and the interaction effect of both were investigated. Also, we tried to confirm the gender difference of the interaction effect on infidelity intention. For analysis, unmarried single adults (n = 167) were recruited and they completed a questionnaire measuring their level of narcissism. Then participants had two scenarios as followed. Firstly, they read one hypothetical situation about relational power (high vs. low). Secondly, participants read a second hypothetical scenario in which they are given a chance to cheat on their partner and answered questions about their infidelity intention. As expected, the interaction effect of narcissism and relational power status was significant. Specifically, the positive relationship between narcissism and infidelity intention was revealed only when power was manipulated low. The three-way interaction(narcissism, power, gender) was also significant. For men, the positive relationship between narcissism and infidelity intention was revealed only when power was low, however, for women, the positive relationship was significant only when power was high. Based on these results, we discussed the person and situation interaction on infidelity intention.

Abstract

The current research examined the effects of the empathizer’s group membership on the emotional experience and intergroup behavior intention on the part of the empathized in an intergroup conflict situation. We manipulated ingroup versus outgroup empathy using a scenario in which a female(male) target person is being empathized by an ingroup(female/male) versus outgroup member(male/female) after experiencing gender discrimination at work. We also included a control condition in which either an ingroup or an outgroup member delivered a message that did not include empathetic contents. Drawing on previous research that suggests negative consequences of outgroup empathy, we hypothesized that, as compared to ingroup empathy, outgroup empathy would lead to a higher level of anger. In a study that employed a total of 246 Korean male and female college students, we found that empathy by an outgroup member evoked a higher degree of anger than did empathy by an ingroup member. By contrast, the empathizer’s group membership did not have a significant effect in the control condition. We replicated these findings in Study 2 that involved a total of 158 Korean male and female workers in business organizations. Further, we found, as expected, that the relationship between the empathizer’s group membership and the target’s intergroup behavior intention was mediated by felt anger after empathy. Implications of the findings in research on intergroup conflict and empathy along with directions for future research are discussed.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop a suicide risk assessment for detainees’ intervention and suicidal prevention at early stage. The study consisted of two studies. First study explored potential items of suicide risk assessment and second study empirically investigated psychometric characteristics such as interrater reliability, concurrent validity, and AUC for confirming cut-off score to high risk offenders. As a result, 20 items were first adopted and then 14 items were finally fixed through a Beta-test. The interrater reliability showed ‘good’ level consistency among raters. It also revealed significant positive correlations with the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale(CES-D), Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire(SIQ), and a high negative correlation with the Reasons For Living scale(RFL). The ROC analysis marked the highest distinction level at 4-point or higher for the moderate risk group, and 10-point or higher for the high risk group. This study is significant because of first suicide risk assessment for detainees. Finally, we further discussed values and implications in the socio-psychological context as well as research limitations.
