Abstract
The purpose of this study is to suggest enhancing positive emotions by examining the relationship between savoring belief, rumination, and positive emotion for university and graduate students. For this purpose, a questionnaire measuring savoring beliefs, ruminations, and positive emotion was conducted for 235 university and graduate students in Seoul. As a result of the Structural modeling analysis, students' savoring beliefs had a positive effect on positive emotion and negative effect on rumination, and rumination had a negative effect on positive emotion. Rumination showed a partial mediating effect on the relationship between savoring beliefs and positive emotion. The results of this study provide important meaning that the savoring beliefs is a process of exploring the positive emotion because it does not deal with the mechanism of reinforcing positive emotions in detail. That is, it is meaningful in that it confirms the effect of an effective savoring strategy to increase the positive emotion and at the same time reveals the mechanism. Rather than simply focusing on the savoring beliefs, it can be expected that positive emotion will be improved by intervening with rumination.
