This questionnaire study examined the processes linking complexity of self-construal to self-positivity conceptualized as taking multiple perspectives, self-acceptance and self-regulation that, in turn, affect psychological well-being among people with an experience of life-crisis during adulthood due to physical disability or divorce. Data were drawn from 359 adult Koreans residing in Seoul metropolitan area, including the physically disabled, the divorced, and their counterparts without a life-crisis experience during adulthood for comparison. On average, the life-crisis experience group(LEG) had a higher independent selfconstrual and a lower interdependent self-construal than the comparison group(CG). As predicted, complexity of self-construal contributed to taking multiple perspectives that helps searching for meaning, and this, in turn, was found to foster self-acceptance and self-regulation. Through these variables except self-regulation, complex self-construal contributed to psychological well-being as manifested by a higher level of positive emotion and a lower level of depression. As expected, while taking multiple perspectives fostered positive emotion both directly and indirectly through self-acceptance among LEG and CG, only in LEG it directly reduced depression. The comparative approach employed in this study enabled to discern that taking multiple perspectives promotes psychological well-being in LEG by contributing to both meaning making and positive attitude, whereas it promotes psychological well-being in CG primarily by fostering positive attitude. Finally implications for this study were discussed and directions for future research were suggested.

Recently, the number of cases of child abuse has been increasing and, consequently, the social interest in this issue is increasing. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between child abuse, rejection sensitivity and emotional regulation and to identify the mediating effects of rejection sensitivity in the relationship between child abuse and emotional regulation. For this purpose, a survey on child abuse, rejection sensitivity and emotional regulation was administered to 217 elementary school students in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades, who had been reported as victims of child abuse or managed as suspected child abuse victims in the Seoul, Gyeonggi, Gangwon, Chungcheong, and Gyeongsang regions. The data was analyzed using structural equation modelling and bootstrapping. The findings showed that child abuse was significantly negatively correlated with emotional regulation, but positively correlated with rejection sensitivity. Emotional regulation was significantly negatively correlated with rejection sensitivity. Second, the structural equation analysis also revealed that rejection sensitivity fully mediated the relationship between child abuse and emotional regulation. This means that child abuse has an indirect effect on emotional regulation through rejection sensitivity. Therefore, when counseling abused children with emotional regulation problems, it is important for the counselors to include interventions designed to lower their rejection sensitivity.

This study explored the essence of psychological burnout experiences due to emotional contagion using a hermeneutic phenomenological approach. In-depth interviews were conducted on 9 participants who work in fields that are subject to emotional contagion. Data analysis was conducted by using van Manen's methodology, insisting that the pure description of an experience can be enriched by adding interpretation. The emotional contagion experiences were identified through this process and the findings were categorized into 3 core themes, 8 essential themes, and 35 subthemes. The first core theme is "emotions in constant exchange". This theme included two essential themes: 'various channels of emotional contagion' and 'subjective states that change depending on the transmitted emotions'. The second core theme, "filtering the experience of emotional contagion" included the essential themes of 'the characteristics susceptible to the emotions of others', 'attitudes of spreading negative emotions' and 'situations that makes one feel overwhelmed by emotions'. The final core theme, "from burnout by emotional contagion to communication" was categorized into the following essential themes: 'burnout-inducing entangled interactions', 'moving toward communication and connection' and 'recovery after psychological burnout'. Finally, the implications and suggestions for future research were discussed by summarizing the core contents of each themes.

본 연구에서는 정서의 처리가 어떤 과정을 거쳐 이루어지는지를 조사하였다. 정서의 우선성 효과를 알아보기 위하여 제작되었던 Murphy와 Zajonc(1993)의 실험 패러다임을 응용하여 비의식적인 수준에서의 정서점화효과와 의식적인 수준에서의 정서점화효과를 비교하였다. 정서적 경험에 있어서의 차별화를 조작하기 위하여서 실험 2에서는 실험 1에서 사용되었던 표정사진 대신 사건사진을 점화자극으로 사용하였다. 실험 1과 실험 2에서 모두 식역 이하 수준에서 점화자극을 제시하였던 경우 Murphy와 Zajonc(1993)이 발견한 점화자극으로 인한 동화의 효과가 나타났다. 원 연구자들에 따르자면 점화자극에 대한 자각은 점화자극으로 인한 동화효과를 상쇄하여야 한다. 그러나 자극제시시간을 정서적 각성이 충분히 일어나도록 길게 한 조건에서는 사건사진(실험 2)만이 정서적 동화효과를 산출하였다. 마지막으로 이런 결과들이 지니는 정서처리의 과정에 대한 시사점이 논의되었다.

The Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE) is a newly developed emotional scale to measure well-being that was designed to overcome the limitations of the previous emotional scales (Diener et al., 2010). It comprises 12 items that measure positive and negative emotional experiences, including general (e.g., positive, negative) and specific (e.g., joyful, sad) items. It also reflects all levels of arousal. This study examined the factor structure and gender invariance of the Korean version of the SPANE. For this purpose, responses to the scale of a sample of 551 Korean college students (276 males and 275 females) were analyzed. The results exhibited high internal consistency reliability and construct validity for a Korean population. Furthermore, the configural, metric, and scalar invariance of the SPANE held across gender. These results suggest that the Korean version of the SPANE is a valid scale for measuring the emotional experiences of Korean students, and it is appropriate to use in future studies of gender difference in emotional well-being.

In this study, achievement emotions were compared between the gifted and regular students. The significant differences for each group were shown in all eight elements respectively in lesson situation, learning situation and test situation. Among various achievement emotions, it was also found that the gifted students showed higher level of positive achiecement emotions. Furthermore, positive achievement emotions can have positive effects in increasing the achievement level in science subject. On the other hand, the negative achievement emotions were higher for ordinary students that could have negative effets. The influential factors were recognizing the values of Science, Science experiments, positive evaluation experiences, aggressive learning attitudes, interests and knowledge, positive self-perceptions, career relationships, and teachers' recognitions. These factors influenced in imcreasing students' positive achievement emotions and decreasing negative achievement emotions. By conducting in-depth advanced conversations with students based on the above results could increase students' interest and positive achievement emotions.

The study sought to reveal the impact of focusing attitudes and cognitive emotion regulation on post-traumatic growth for adolescent athletes with trauma experiences. A preliminary survey was conducted on 215 middle and high school athletes in the S city and K provinces. The impact of focusing attitudes and cognitive emotion regulation on post-traumatic growth was verified using validated questionnaires. The results for the purpose and method of study are as follows. Focusing attitudes and cognitive emotion regulation of adolescent athletes affect post-traumatic growth. Positive reappraisal was the most influential factor affecting post-traumatic growth, followed by the factors influencing the aware, acceptance, accept, reflect and positive refocusing. In order to experience post-traumatic growth through the results of this study, it is important to understand the overall understanding and tactics of focusing attitudes and cognitive emotion regulation. Therefore, effective psychological training methods will be needed to positively control the level of focusing attitudes and cognitive emotion regulation among adolescent athletes.

정서는 생리적 반응을 수반하는 주관적인 경험이다. 뇌파와 자율신경계 반응의 차이에 의한 기본정서 구분 연구는 보고된 바가 없다. 본 연구에서는 1) 여섯 기본정서를 뚜렷하게 유발하는 정서자극을 선정하고, 이를 사용하여 2) 기본정서를 구분할 수 있는 심리생리적 복합 지표 모델을 개발하고자 하였다. 국제정서사진체계에서 여섯 기본정서 (행복, 슬픔, 분노, 혐오, 공포, 놀람) 각각을 신뢰롭게 유발하는 여섯 쌍의 슬라이드를 선택하였다. 슬라이드 제시에 의하여 유발되는 뇌파, 심전도, 호흡, 피부전기반응을 기록하여 분석/비교하였다. 주요결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 뇌파의 상태적 출현량, 심박률, 호흡률, 피부전도반응은 안정상태와 정서상태간의 비교에서 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 둘째, 뇌파분석결과에서는 theta (F4, 01), slow alpha (F3, F4), fast alpha (O2), fast beta (F4, O2)파의 상대적 출현량 변화값이 일부 정서들간에 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 셋째, 자율신경계 분석결과에서는 심박률, 호흡률, 피부전도반응이 일부 정서들간에 유의미한 차이를 보여주었다. 이들 결과를 토대로 기본정서를 특정적으로 구분할 수 있는 심리생리적 복합 지표 모델을 구성하였다. 네 기본정서 (공포, 혐오, 슬픔, 분노)는 뇌파와 자율신경계 반응패턴에 의한 구분이 가능하였으나, 행복과 놀람은 본 연구에서 사용한 심리생리지표에 의한 최종 구분이 불가능하였다. 여섯 기본정서를 모두 구분할 수 있는 적절한 지표를 찾아내는 후속연구가 필요하다.
