As the public concern about dating violence rises, research on the emotional and behavioral characteristics of dating violence perpetrators is required. The present study explored the influence of ambivalence of emotional expressiveness on three types of dating violence (physical, emotional, sexual), as well as if relational aggression served as a mediator between ambivalence of emotional expressiveness and dating violence. Based on a sample of 160 single men and women in their 20s and 30s, we found that ambivalence of emotional expressiveness, relational aggression, and three types of dating violence were all positively correlated. Furthermore, there was a full mediating effect of relational aggression between ambivalence of emotional expressiveness and dating violence. In other words, the higher the ambivalence of emotional expressiveness, the higher the relational aggression, and the higher the relational aggression was, the more physical, emotional, and sexual dating violence occurred.
This study the process of the counselor's harm avoidance on psychological burnout through a mediating variable of state anxiety and the Moderated mediating effect of mindfulness. An offline survey was conducted on 112 counselors, social workers, youth instructors, psychotherapists. First, there was a significant positive correlation between state anxiety and psychological burnout harm avoidance disposition of counselors. It was found that there was a significant negative correlation between the counselor's harm avoidance disposition and mindfulness, state anxiety and mindfulness, psychological burnout and mindfulness. Second, harm avoidance disposition of the counselor was found to have a significant effect on psychological burnout. Third, it was confirmed that state anxiety completely mediates the relationship between harm avoidance disposition and psychological burnout. Fourth, it was confirmed that state anxiety mediated in the relationship between harm avoidance disposition and psychological burnout, and the controlled mediating effect of mindfulness controlling it was not significant. The results of this study is that state anxiety between harm avoidance and psychological burnout.
Despite the recent increase in the incidence rate of non-suicidal self-injury( NSSI) among college students, there are still no active reports of standardized treatments targeting college students with non-suicidal self-injurious behaviors in Korea. In this study, we developed 10-session short-term DBT program that complemented the realistic limitations of time and costs of existing long-term dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and then applied a short term DBT to two female college students. Case 1 was an instance where negative automatic thoughts triggered by work-related stress and conflict with parents led to self-loathing. This evolved into an overwhelming state of negative emotions, where impulses for self-injury developed into actual self-injury behavior. The intervention focused on cognitively recognizing the vulnerability factors, triggers, and links that led to these target behaviors, emphasizing self-monitoring and the application of crisis management skills. In Case 2, the individual engaged in self-injury as a form of punishment, driven by self-criticism in situations of interpersonal stress. The focus was on delaying and stopping self-injury behavior through mindfulness of emotional states and non-judgmental thinking in the process leading up to the appearance of self-injury impulses and self-injury behavior. In both cases, by the practice of using chain analysis of non-suicidal self-injurious behavior, they realized the link between their target behavior and succeeded in delaying or stopping the target behavior by applying emotion regulation skills in an attempt to break this link. The effectiveness of this short-term DBT program for reducing non-suicidal self-injury behavior should be proven through the accumulation of more cases and comparative studies in the future.
The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effect of adaptive cognitive strategies on the relationship between hostile attribution bias and reactive-proactive aggression. The participants were 169 college students who completed self-report questionnaires that measured hostile attribution, reactive-proactive aggression, and adaptive cognitive strategies. As a result, adaptive cognitive strategies significantly moderated the relationship between hostile attribution bias and reactive-proactive aggression. In other words, individuals with higher hostile attribution bias significantly predict higher levels of reactive-proactive aggression, with levels of aggression being regulated based on adaptive cognitive strategies, specifically positive reappraisal and acceptance, in this relationship. This study expanded the literature by elucidating the roles of adaptive cognitive strategies in predicting aggression about hostile attribution bias and underscored their significance.
This study aims to investigate the mediating effects of perceived social support in the relationship between work-family conflict and job satisfaction among married female managers. For this purpose, data from the 2020 1st Korean Women Manager Panel Survey were utilized. Firstly, work-family conflict exerted a statistically significant negative effects on the job satisfaction. Secondly, the work-family conflict had a significant negative effects on their perceived social support. Also, perceived social support demonstrated statistically significant positive effects on job satisfaction. Thirdly, in the context of the relationship between work-family conflict and job satisfaction, organizational support, supervisor support, and spouse support exhibited the multiple parallel mediating effects. It was observed that the mediating effects of job-related support were larger than those of non-job-related support. Drawing from these research findings, practical strategies for enhancing the job satisfaction of married female managers were discussed.
