Previous research has found that illusions of control (IOC) can buffer against the emotional consequences of failure and may
increase persistence in the face of failure. Theoretical analyses suggest that IOC are most closely related to a better mood
and higher motivation if failure feedback is open to reinterpretation. Two experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis
that explicitness (vs. ambiguousness) of failure feedback moderates the consequences of IOC following a failure experience.
In accord with predictions, it was found that IOC were subsequently related to a better mood (Study 1) and higher persistence
(Study 2) if individuals received ambiguous task-inherent failure feedback. In contrast, explicit failure feedback seemed
to neutralize the beneficial effects of IOC. These results are discussed with respect to the adaptiveness of IOC.

Based on the affective expectations model and research on mental effort mobilization, two experiments manipulated affective
expectations (no expectations versus positive expectations) and ego involvement (low versus high) and assessed participants’
affective reactions to hedonically neutral stimuli. In Experiment 1, evaluations were more positive when participants had
positive expectations about neutral photos—but only when ego involvement was low. High ego involvement neutralized this affective
expectation assimilation effect. Experiment 2 replicated these findings for experienced mood after reading a hedonically neutral
short essay. Furthermore, high ego involvement led to longer response latencies in the affect ratings in Study 1. The findings
support the idea that high ego involvement resulted in relatively high mental effort that was necessary to detect discrepancies
between affective expectations and stimuli’s real affective potential and therefore moderated the assimilation effect to affective
expectations.

Two experiments tested the hypothesis that a positive mood can increase attendance to, and systematic processing of, threatening
health information, particularly when the information is self-relevant. In Study 1, a positive mood increased differentiation
between strong and weak arguments in a threatening health message about RSI only for participants who had received false feedback
regarding their high vulnerability to RSI. Mood had no effects under conditions of low vulnerability. In Study 2, a positive
mood speeded up responses to self-threatening words—compared with neutral words—for smokers who had just read a threatening
health message about smoking. The authors conclude that fostering a positive mood may promote attendance to and systematic
processing of information that threatens the self, and hence contribute to the success of health campaigns targeted at individuals
who are vulnerable to specific health risks.

In two experiments (n = 264 and 339), I treat brainstorming rules as assigned goals and compare their effectiveness to that of quantity goals as
interventions to improve the number of ideas generated by individuals. Controlling for goal commitment, I find that brainstorming
rules alone do not convey an advantage over even a vague quantity goal presented alone for enhancing the number of ideas generated
in two common tasks. Detailed contrasts revealed that specific, difficult goals were only partially effective on their own,
as expected when goal commitment is moderate. However, I find evidence in both studies that brainstorming rules are useful
adjuncts to specific, difficult quantity goals. Importantly, their combination was the only consistently effective improvement
over both vague quantity goals and brainstorming rules presented alone. I discuss implications for future research adopting
a goal-based view of intervention in idea generation.

Despite independent evidence that reminiscing about positive events has positive emotional benefits, and that laughter plays
a role in seemingly successful relationships, there is a lack of empirical research examining how reminiscing about laughter
might influence relationship well being. Specifically, the current study assessed whether reminiscing about shared laughter
would increase relationship satisfaction among romantic couples. Fifty-two couples were randomly assigned to one of four reminiscing
conditions and completed pre- and post-manipulation assessments of relationship satisfaction. As predicted, couples who reminisced
about events involving shared laugher reported higher relationship satisfaction at the post-manipulation satisfaction assessment
as compared to couples in the three control conditions. The effect was not attributed to positive mood induction as mood scores
across groups were similar. Results show preliminary support for the notion that reminiscing about laughter may have a more
potent influence on relationship well being than reminiscing about other positive events.

Affective habituation (i.e., reductions in stimulus-evoked affective reactions as a result of previous exposure) may serve
a functional purpose. However, little is know about the psychological mechanisms underlying this process. To elucidate the
characteristics of affective habituation, two experiments that examined affective reactions to repeated exposures of pleasurable
stimuli were conducted. Results of these experiments indicated that habituation trajectories are characterized by linear decreases
in affect. Results also demonstrated that habituation can be slowed by the introduction of novel stimuli (i.e., “novelty effects”),
effects that are dimensional (rather than taxonic) in nature. Experiment 2 demonstrated that habituation is mediated by conceptual
rather than perceptual processes. Depressed and anhedonic individuals were not more susceptible to habituation in either experiment.
The current findings and previous theorizing suggest that habituation may be an important component of an adaptive affective
processing system that promotes effective responses to salient stimuli and prevents compulsive reward-seeking behavior.

The current paper describes the results of an experiment in which 200 students who varied in levels of trait perfectionism
performed a laboratory task and then were assessed in terms of levels of state affect, state self-esteem, and state automatic
thoughts. Independent variables included task difficulty (high versus moderate level of difficulty) and performance feedback
independent of their actual level of performance (positive or negative). Analyses also examined objective levels of performance
(i.e., the number of errors on the task) and initial confidence in performance. Analyses showed that the experience of state
automatic thoughts involving perfectionism was associated with negative automatic thoughts, negative affective reactions,
and lower state self-esteem. Analyses of changes in mood and self-esteem showed generally that participants high in socially
prescribed perfectionism had increased levels of dysphoria and anxiety and lower levels of state self-esteem following the
experience of negative performance feedback or after having a relatively poor performance. Analyses of the physiological measures
found increased systolic blood pressure among self-oriented perfectionists who had poorer performance and among socially prescribed
perfectionists who had received negative feedback about their performance. The results for heart-rate changes yielded a less
clear pattern, though there was evidence that participants with high socially prescribed perfectionism had increased heart
rate if they received negative feedback and were relatively low in confidence. Collectively, these findings illustrate that
how perfectionists react in challenging situations varies as a function of actual performance, performance feedback, and feelings
of personal efficacy.

Acting in our interests: Relational self-construal and goal motivation across cultures 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Relationally-autonomous reasons (RARs) are motives for behavior that take into account one’s close relationships. A cross-cultural
model tested the hypotheses that (a) people with a highly relational self-construal will pursue their goals for RARs, and
(b) RARs will predict positive goal outcomes after controlling for variance explained by personally-autonomous reasons (PARs)
and social support. One hundred seventy Americans and 219 Japanese completed a well-being and self questionnaire then generated
and rated seven goals on several attributes. Results showed that relational self-construal was associated with RARs for goals.
RARs predicted effort directly and predicted progress and purpose in life indirectly for both groups. In addition, Americans
and Japanese differed in the types of goals they pursued and the degree to which social support predicted effort. Implications
for self, culture, and motivation research are discussed.

Kant’s reputation for making absolutist claims about universal and necessary conditions for the possibility of experience
are put here in the broader context of his goals for the Critical philosophy. It is shown that within that context, Kant’s
claims can be seen as considerably more innocuous than they are traditionally regarded, underscoring his deep respect for
“common sense” and sharing surprisingly similar goals with Wittgenstein in terms of what philosophy can, and at least as importantly
cannot, provide.

Daniel Haybron has made an original contribution to philosophical discussions of happiness. He has put forward a theory that
identifies happiness with moods and the propensity to experience moods. Haybron’s contribution deserves a critical examination.
The first section of my paper is interpretive. I show how Haybron uses the concepts of ‘central affective states’ and ‘mood
propensity’ to define happiness. The second and third sections of the paper are critical. They focus on the inclusion of mood
propensity in Haybron’s theory. In the second section I argue that his theory fails because there is an example that shows
a subject can be happy even when that subject does not have a positive mood propensity. In the third section of the paper,
I consider Haybron’s objection that the case in question is ‘object-specific’ and that it is not ‘emotionally-based’. I discuss
both of these technical terms in detail. Moreover, I argue that a modified version of the counter example accommodates these
technical terms while retaining the persuasiveness of the original example.

Relatively little is known about the factor structure of disruptive behavior among preadolescent girls. The present study
reports on exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of disruptive girl behavior over four successive data waves as rated
by parents and teachers in a large, representative community sample of girls (N = 2,451). Five factors were identified from parent ratings (oppositional behavior/conduct problems, inattention, hyperactivity/impulsivity,
relational aggression, and callous-unemotional behaviors), and four factors were identified derived from teacher ratings (oppositional
behavior/conduct problems/callous-unemotional behaviors, inattention, hyperactivityimpulsivity, and relational aggression).
There was a high degree of consistency of items loading on equivalent factors across parent and teacher ratings. Year-to-year
stability of factors between ages five and 12 was high for parent ratings (ICC = 0.70 to 0.88), and slightly lower for teacher
ratings (ICC = 0.56 to 0.83). These findings are discussed in terms of possible adjustment to the criteria for children's
disruptive behavior disorders found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders.

In this introduction we discuss the motivation behind the workshop “Towards a New Epistemology of Mathematics” of which this
special issue constitutes the proceedings. We elaborate on historical and empirical aspects of the desired new epistemology,
connect it to the public image of mathematics, and give a summary and an introduction to the contributions to this issue.

An integrative model of goal motives, well-being, and physical health was tested within three studies. Study 1 demonstrated
that pursuing autonomous goals was positively associated with both happiness and self-realization, whereas pursuing controlled
goals was negatively associated with self-realization, but unrelated to happiness. Study 1 further revealed that self-realization
was negatively associated with physical symptoms, whereas happiness was unrelated to the symptoms. Study 2 replicated the
findings of Study 1 while showing that academic stress mediated the relationship between self-realization and physical symptoms.
Finally, Study 3 replicated the findings of Studies 1 and 2 and additionally demonstrated that academic coping mediated the
relationship between self-realization and academic stress. These findings are discussed in terms of their theoretical implications
and directions for future research are proposed.

Habitual emotional state is a predictor of long-term health and life expectancy and successful emotion regulation is necessary
for adaptive functioning. However, people are often unsuccessful in regulating their emotions. We investigated the use of
cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression in 489 university students in Norway, Australia, and the United States and
how these strategies related to measures of well-being (affect, life satisfaction, and depressed mood). Data was collected
by means of selfadministered questionnaires. The major aims of the study were to begin to explore the prevalence of use of
cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression across gender, age and culture, possible antecedents of emotion regulation
strategies, and the influence of emotion regulation upon well-being. Results showed that the use of emotion regulation strategies
varied across age, gender and culture. Private self-consciousness (self-reflection and insight) was found to be a central
antecedent for the use of cognitive reappraisal. Use of emotion regulation strategies predicted well-being outcomes, also
after the effect of extraversion and neuroticism had been controlled for. Generally, increased use of cognitive reappraisal
predicted increased levels of positive well-being outcomes, while increased use of expressive suppression predicted increased
levels of negative well-being outcomes.

The current study examined the frequency and associated distress of both hairpulling and skin picking behaviors in 1,324 college students using the Massachusetts General Hospital Hairpulling Scale (MGHHS) and Skin Picking Scale (SPS). In this sample, many participants reported significant distress secondary to both hairpulling and skin picking. Participants who endorsed relatively frequent hairpulling or skin picking (N = 72) were scheduled for a follow-up testing session to further assess the relationship between these behaviors and measures of affective distress. Compared to a control sample, the follow-up sample endorsed significantly more symptoms of anxiety and stress reactivity, and had higher scores on a measure of obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

When two omnipotent beings are randomly and sequentially selecting positive integers, the being who selects second is almost
certain to select a larger number. I then use the relativity of simultaneity to create a paradox by having omnipotent beings
select positive integers in different orders for different observers.

Two studies examined the effects of social-comparison versus mastery praise on 4th- and 5th-grade children’s intrinsic motivation.
Children received a high score and either social-comparison praise, mastery praise, or no praise for working on a set of novel
puzzles. They then worked on a different task and were given either ambiguous feedback (Study 1) or positive feedback (Study
2) before completing measures of intrinsic motivation. Mastery praise enhanced intrinsic motivation and social-comparison
praise curtailed it when uncertainty about children’s subsequent performance was introduced (Study 1) and, for girls, even
in situations of continued success (Study 2). Social-comparison praise also tended to discourage children from seeking subsequent
self-evaluative normative information. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Practical reasons, roughly, are reasons to have our desires and goals, and to do what might secure these goals. I argue for
the view that lack of freedom to do otherwise undermines the truth of judgments of practical reason. Thus, assuming that determinism
expunges alternative possibilities, determinism undercuts the truth of such judgments. I propose, in addition, that if practical
reason is associated with various values in a specified way, then determinism precludes such values owing to determinism's
imperiling practical reason.

Mindfulness and Emotion Regulation: The Development and Initial Validation of the Cognitive and Affective Mindfulness Scale-Revised (CAMS-R) 总被引:5,自引:1,他引:4
Greg Feldman Adele Hayes Sameet Kumar Jeff Greeson Jean-Philippe Laurenceau 《Journal of psychopathology and behavioral assessment》2007,29(3):177-190
As interest grows in mindfulness training as a psychosocial intervention, it is increasingly important to quantify this construct
to facilitate empirical investigation. The goal of the present studies was to develop a brief self-report measure of mindfulness
with items that cover the breadth of the construct and that are written in everyday language. The resulting 12-item measure
demonstrated acceptable internal consistency and evidence of convergent and discriminant validity with concurrent measures
of mindfulness, distress, well-being, emotion-regulation, and problem-solving approaches in three samples of university students.
To address potential construct contamination in two items, data are also presented on an alternate 10-item version of the
measure.

Based on current research involving rater motivation, we examined several factors hypothesized to influence employee intentions
to provide honest upward feedback. Survey data were collected from a demographically diverse sample of hospital employees
(n = 203). In summary, we found empirical support for generalizing extant models of rater motivation to an upward feedback context:
cynicism towards upper management and the upward feedback process, understanding upward feedback, and opportunity to observe
their supervisors were the primary predictors of employee intentions to provide honest upward feedback ratings, mediated by
the (a) extent to which employees perceived positive benefits would result from rating their supervisors honestly, (b) the
extent to which employees feared retaliation by their supervisors, and (c) rater self-efficacy.
