This study examined the conditional indirect effect of EEG (electroencephalogram) arousal on the relationship among affective valence, visual attention, perceived self-relevance, and attitudes toward campaign issues in the context of public service announcements (PSAs). Using SPSS macro (No. 14) of conditional process model, the findings in this current study indicated that the perceived self-relevance mediates the relationship between affective valence of PSA and attitudes toward issues and, in turn, is moderated by EEG arousal, indicating goodness-of-fit of the moderated mediation of psychophysiological arousal on PSAs. The results suggested that management of PSAs should be considered the strategic combination between affective valence and perceived self-relevance in advertising appeals.

To collect the data, emotional intelligence, teaching efficacy, job stress, and happiness instruments were used. All research variables were measured using self-reported questionnaires, and were analyzed with one-way ANOVA, t-test, Pearson's correlation and pathway analysis. The results indicated teachers' happiness had no difference by demographic variables. Emotional intelligence had a direct effect and an indirect effect through teaching efficacy and job stress on happiness among early childhood teachers. Teaching efficacy and job stress had a direct effect on happiness among early childhood teachers. Additionally, emotional intelligence was the most important variable predicting early childhood teachers' happiness. Teaching efficacy and job stress had a mediating effect between emotional intelligence and happiness.

The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating effect of perceived parental empathy in the relationship between adolescent depression and eat problem. For this purpose, we conducted a hierarchical regression analysis for 246 middle and high school boys in the K region. As a result, the relationship between eating problem and depression was controlled by parental sympathy. As a result of analyzing the moderating effects of sub- factors of parental sympathy, in the case of the father, awareness of emotion, cold emotional reaction, and excessive emotional reaction showed moderating effects. And in mothers, awareness of emotion, perspective taking, cold emotional reaction, and excessive emotional reaction moderated the relationship between eating problem and depression. It is significant that this study confirmed that the empathy of parents perceived by adolescents is a control variable to mitigate the adverse effects of depression on eating problems.

The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating effects of mothers' beliefs about emotional guidance on the relations between children's emotionality and parenting stress. The participants were 213 mothers of 3~5 year old children from early childhood educational institutions located in Gyeonggi province and Daejeon, Korea. Mothers completed questionnaires regarding children's emotionality, beliefs about emotional guidance and parenting stress. The main results of this study are as follows. First, children's gender, age and mothers' age was related to parenting stress. And maternal parenting stress was positively related to children's negative emotionality and mothers' beliefs that children learn emotion by themselves and negatively related to beliefs that parent should coach children's emotion. Also, the relations between negative emotionality of children and parenting stress were significantly moderated by mothers' beliefs about emotional guidance. That is, higher levels of children's negative emotionality predicted higher parenting stress especially for mothers who believe that children learn emotion by themselves. The findings of this study suggested the importance of mothers' emotion related beliefs to reduce parenting stress.

The appropriate interpretation of social cues is a crucial ability for everyday life. While processing socially relevant information, beyond the low-level physical features of the stimuli to emotional information is known to influence human cognition in various stages, from early perception to later high-level cognition, such as working memory (WM). However, it remains unclear how the influence of each type of emotional information on cognitive processes changes in response to what has occurred in the processing stage. Past studies have largely adopted face stimuli to address this type of research question, but we used a unique class of socially relevant motion stimuli, called biological motion (BM), which depicts various human actions and emotions with moving dots to exhibit the effects of anger, happiness, and neutral emotion on task performance in perceptual and working memory. In this study, participants determined whether two BM stimuli, sequentially presented with a delay between them (WM task) or one immediately after the other (perceptual task), were identical. The perceptual task showed that discrimination accuracies for emotional stimuli (i.e., angry and happy) were lower than those for neutral stimuli, implying that emotional information has a negative impact on early perceptual processes. Alternatively, the results of the WM task showed that the accuracy drop as the interstimulus interval increased was actually lower in emotional BM conditions than in the neutral condition, which suggests that emotional information benefited maintenance. Moreover, anger and happiness had distinct impacts on the performance of perception and WM. Our findings have significance as we provide evidence for the interaction of type of emotion and information-processing stage.

This research explored cognitive emotion regulation strategy, behavioral emotion regulation strategy, and experiential emotion regulation strategy, each moderating effect in the relationship between maladjustment schema and marital satisfaction. The data was analyzed through hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The results of the study are as follows: the regression analysis showed the moderating effects for adaptive emotion regulation strategy on the relationship between the maladjustment schema and marital satisfaction. The result showed the selection of 'Disconnection and Rejection', 'Impaired autonomy and Performance', 'Other-Directedness', 'Overvigilance and Inhibition' as maladjustment schema variables affecting marital satisfaction via cognitive emotion regulation strategy, that of 'Disconnection and Rejection', 'Impaired autonomy and Performance', 'Other-Directedness' as maladjustment schema variables affecting marital satisfaction via behavioral emotion regulation strategy, and that of 'Impaired limits', 'Impaired autonomy and Performance', 'Other-Directedness', 'Overvigilance and Inhibition' as maladjustment schema variables affecting marital satisfaction via experiential regulation strategy. Finally, the clinical implication and limitation of this study and suggestion for future studies were also discussed.
