This study examined the association between failure-related action orientation and life satisfaction, with a primary focus on confirmation of the mediating role of forgivingness in Chinese college students. 277 participants (165 males and 112 females) from Mainland China completed a subscale of the Action Control Scale (ACS-90) called the Failure-related Action Orientation Scale (AOF), the Tendency to Forgive Scale (Brown in Personal Soc Psychol Bull 29(6):759–771, 2003) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener et al. in J Personal Assess 49(1):71–75, 1985). Results from structural equation modeling showed that forgivingness partially mediated the relationship between failure-related action orientation and life satisfaction. Moreover, AOF, forgivingness and life satisfaction did not differ across gender or age groups. Implications for the model of failure-related action orientation, forgivingness and life satisfaction in college students are discussed. 相似文献
Previous studies have found that attention orienting is influenced by the orienting processes of previous trials in a spatial
cueing paradigm. This study mainly investigated whether this sequence effect could happen for a non-predictive arrow cue and
whether it was influenced by the cue-target SOAs in previous and current trials. A significant sequence effect was observed
for arrow cues even when voluntary control was not required, and it was significantly influenced by the SOAs of previous trials.
The present results support the automatic memory check hypothesis and may reflect some temporal characteristics of the memory
mechanism in sequential processes. In addition, contrary to the previous findings, we found an overall response facilitation
following a catch trial, suggesting that the influence of preceding catch trials may be sensitive to experimental contexts. 相似文献
The orienting of attention has been found to be influenced by the previous cueing status in a spatial-cueing paradigm. The explanation for this sequence effect remains uncertain. This study separated the involuntary and the voluntary components of arrow cueing by manipulating the predicted target locations. For example, a left arrow cue may have indicated that the target was more likely to appear at the up location. Therefore, three trial types were repeated or switched between trials: cued (targets appeared along the direction of the arrows), predicted (targets appeared at the locations predicted by the arrows), and unrelated (targets appeared at the other two locations, neither cued nor predicted). RTs of cued trials were found to be significantly facilitated after a previous cued trial; however, the same effect was not observed for predicted trials. The results suggest that significant sequence effects are induced only in the involuntary component of arrow cueing. The findings support the feature-integration hypothesis for the sequence effect of symbolic cueing.
