Common theories of affect underscore valence and arousal dimensions or specific emotion. However, given the role of affect in transacting social behavior, sociality may determine the subjective experience and interpersonal response to positive stimuli. The current study examined the relationships between social positive affect and perspective taking as well as positive coping. One potential moderating effect of agreeableness on these relations was also examined. In two experiments, film segments induced socially and non-socially generated positive affects. We hypothesized and found that positive affect associated with sociality would enhance perspective taking ability and positive coping, while non-social positive affect would not. Moreover, these effects varied as a function of the level of agreeableness. These findings suggest that the social/non-social dimension influenced which positive affects elicited perspective taking and positive coping, which could not be explained by differences in subjective emotional valence or arousal. Taken together, these findings have important implications, as they point toward a previously overlooked relation linking sociality to positive affect.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between value types and life satisfaction of Korean university students. 275 students' scores for value types, positive·negative affectivity, and subjective well-being were obtained using questionnaires. Data was analysed by correlation analysis and path analysis. The results can be summarized as followings. First, the correlation between all negative affectivity and all value was not significant. Second, conformity, benevolence, self-direction·stimulation, hedonism, achievement and security value types were positively correlated with positive affectivity, whereas, conformity, benevolence, universalism and security value types were positively correlated with life satisfaction. Third, the student's higher scores of conformity, benevolence and hedonism value types induced higher level of positive affectivity, which, in turn, increased life satisfaction. The results suggested that value types can indirectly influence life satisfaction through positive affectivity.

최근 들어 인간과 컴퓨터 상호작용 분야에서 기존의 인지적인 측면 이외에 정서의 역할에 대한 관심이 증폭되고 있는 추세이다. 본 연구에서는 사용자가 좁은 화면을 통해 정보검색을 수행 할 때 정서 상태에 따라 정보 검색 패턴이 다른지 알아보고자 하였다. 실험참가자들의 정서 상태를 인위적으로 유도하기 위해 검색과제를 수행하기 전에 긍정적인 정서와 부정적인 정서를 유발시킬 수 있는 음악을 듣게 하였고 동시에 자신의 과거 기역으로부터 긍정적인 정서 혹은 부정적인 정서를 유발 시킬 수 있는 과제를 수행하도록 하였다. 정서 유발 과정이 끝난 뒤 각 실험 참가자들은 좁은 화면을 통해 정보 탐색 과제를 수행하였다. 정보 탐색 과제는 주어진 시간 동안 제시되는 나라들에 대한 여행 정보를 검색하는 것이었고 정보 검색이 이루어지는 동안 소요된 시간 및 검색 페이지 링크가 기록되었다. 실험결과 긍정적인 정서상태에서는 중립 상태와 부정적인 정서 상태에 비해서 보다 광범위하고 빠른 정보검색이 이루어지는 것으로 나타났다.

In pretest, we confirmed homogeneity between experiment and control group using child emotional checklist and then applied small group plastic artistic activities to the experiment group. Data analysis was performed with population, percentage, t-test and Cronbach a. The findings of this study were: First, the group plastic artistic activities was effective for the emotional intelligence of children. Second, the small group plastic activities was effective for the self-emotion awareness, self-emotion control and self motivation ability of children.

The purpose of this study is to finding out relationship between employees' positive psychological capital and job satisfaction, organizational commitment and the mediating role of positive emotion. Based on advanced literature, we regard positive psychological capital as four factors, self-efficacy, hope, optimism and resilience. We tested the proposed relationships using date from 350 employees in Chinese firms. The main finding are as follows: First, self-efficacy, hope, optimism, resilience has a significant positive effect on organizational commitment, job satisfaction and positive emotion. Secondly, self-efficacy, hope, optimism, resilience influence directly and indirectly on organizational commitment, job satisfaction. Positive affect plays a mediating role between variables.

It has been well known and empirically supported that many persons with psychiatric disabilities experience recovery in the community. The sense of recovery is experienced while they recognize and manage mental illness and cope with everyday life utilizing personal and social resources. In order to explore ways in which the sense of recovery is enhanced, this study investigated the structure of relationships among the mental health state, optimism, positive emotions, quantity and quality of the social relationships, coping, and recovery of 460 persons with psychiatric disabilities through structural equation modeling. Of findings, first, in the results of path estimates of measurement and theoretical model, especially optimism and positive emotions demonstrated significant effects on the social relationship, coping, and the recovery, while, by contraries, positive emotions showed no significant direct effects on coping, neither the social relationships did on the recovery. Second, on the recovery optimism and positive emotions had direct effects, while quantity and quality of the social relationships had only indirect effects. It is particularly noted that positive emotions showed stronger effects on the recovery than optimism, and also had direct and indirect effects on the social relationships. Finally, partial mediating effects of coping were found between optimism and the recovery, between quality of the social relationships and recovery, and between quantity and quality of the social relationships; another partial mediating effects of quality of social relationships between quantity of social relationships and coping, and between positive emotions and coping; and the last same effects of quantity of the social relationships between positive emotions and coping. According to these results, discussions and implications for social work practice and practice research were suggested regarding the differential effects of positive cognitions and emotions on the recovery and different mechanisms of the quality and quantity of the social relationships, and the relationships among the resources, coping, and the recovery of persons with psychiatric disabilities.

그동안 정서의 실험적 유도의 어려움과 많은 제약으로 인해 성인 위주로만 이루어져 오던 정서연구가 최근 수 년 간의 정서연구에 대한 방법론의 발달로 아동에게까지 그 범위가 확대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 아동의 다섯 가지 정서 (기쁨, 분노, 슬픔, 스트레스, 놀람)에 의해 유발되는 아동의 자율신경계 패턴을 확인하고자 한다. 놀람 정서를 추가한 "아동용 정서유발 프로토콜 (양경혜 등, 2000)"을 사용하여 아동에게 정서를 유발시키고, 정서가 유발되는 도안의 자율신경계 반응(KST, ECG, EDA, PPG)을 측정하였다. 초등학교 1, 2 학년인 34명(남: 18, 여:16)의 아동이 실험에 참여하였다. 실험 결과 다섯 가지 정서가 아동들에게 적절하고 효과적으로 유발되었으며, 정서에 따른 생리반응 변화가 관찰되었다. 분석에 사용된 12개 생리반응 변수 중 8개 변수에서 정서에 따른 차이가 발견되었으며, 정서에 따라 다른 자율신경계 반응 패턴을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한, 동일한 방법으로 수행한 본 연구실의 선행 연구와도 일치하는 결과를 보였다. 이는 아동용 정서유발 프로토콜이 표준화된 아동정서 유발자극으로 사용될 수 있으며, 생리반응 주형(template)을 이용하여 아동정서를 구분할 수 있음을 제시한다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating pathways of emotional regulators in relation to self-conscious negative emotions, including non-suicidal self-harm, guilt, shame, shyness, and internal hostility, further examining the gender difference in the mechanisms. The study subjects of were 652 college students from three universities in J district. Self-report questionnaires on self-harm, self-conscious negative emotions, and emotional control were administered to them. An analysis performed using model 4 of the process macro indicated that self-conscious negative emotions had a significant correlation with self-harming behavior and that this correlation was mediated by the emotional regulation of brooding. These results suggest that negative self-conscious emotions have a significant influence on self-harming behaviors, and brooding reinforces negative emotions then the risk of self-harming behaviors is amplified.
