Spontaneous self-affirmation predicts more meaning and less boredom Motiv. Emot. (IF 4.135) Pub Date : 2024-03-15
Abstract Chronic boredom is associated with many negative psychological outcomes, including undermining perceived meaning in life. Meanwhile, emerging research suggests that spontaneous self-affirmation, that is, an inclination to self-affirm, is linked to greater well-being and buffers against psychological threats. We investigated the relationship between spontaneous self-affirmation, perceptions

Interplay of intrinsic motivation and well-being at school Motiv. Emot. (IF 4.135) Pub Date : 2024-02-18
Abstract Feeling well at school is crucial for both young people’s healthy self-development and their intrinsic learning motivation. Both concepts, subjective well-being and intrinsic motivation, are central to self-determination theory, but their reciprocal relationship is not studied very well. We hypothesized that the concepts affect each other directly: Students who are intrinsically motivated

Sounds boring: the causal effect of boredom on self-administration of aversive stimuli in the presence of a positive alternative Motiv. Emot. (IF 4.135) Pub Date : 2024-02-13
Abstract Previous studies demonstrated that boredom leads to increased self-administration of painful electric stimulation, a proxy for non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). However, in these experimental studies, participants had no behavioral alternatives besides electric stimulation to break the monotony. A first aim in the current experimental study was to examine whether boredom still leads to self-administering

A sight for sore eyes? Attention allocation to obsession-provoking stimuli and stimuli reflecting compulsion completion Motiv. Emot. (IF 4.135) Pub Date : 2023-12-16
Abstract Research on attention allocation in OCD has exclusively used obsession-provoking threat stimuli, showing sustained attention over neutral ones. Recently, however, a study contrasting neutral stimuli with stimuli depicting the completion of compulsive acts (end-states stimuli), which is associated with a reduced anxiety (negative reinforcement), showed similar results. Yet, as relative to neutral

Across three studies (Ns = 263, 143, and 170) conducted in STEM and non-STEM classes, we sought to disentangle the relations between emotional cost, psychological cost, and anxiety. We examined evidence for the structural, discriminant, and predictive validity of the three constructs. Results from factor analyses supported the empirical distinction between emotional cost and psychological cost in two

Given that job boredom is experienced by more than half of the workforce on a daily basis, more scientific research on its potential outcomes and moderators is warranted. This study examined whether daily fluctuations in job boredom are associated with daily increases or decreases in counterproductive work behavior and organizational citizenship behavior, and whether individual differences in cognitive

Research suggests that people’s capacity to successfully pursue hedonic goals is at least as important for well-being as trait self-control. Extending this research, we tested whether trait hedonic capacity is related to more time spent with hedonic goal pursuit (i.e., hedonic quantity) and whether this explains its positive relationship with well-being. Second, we explored whether this may come at

People high in depressive symptoms show probability bias: they think negative events are relatively likely, especially compared with positive events. However, their past- and future-related thinking also has other distinctive characteristics, so we wondered how independent probability bias is from these other phenomena. In two samples of Turkish students (Ns = 163 and 179), we found that depressive

Such beliefs should shape how we respond to others, but past literature suggests two competing hypotheses: if believing someone else’s emotions are controllable has similar beneficial outcomes as believing one’s own emotions are controllable, such beliefs may predict more

Beliefs about emotion are clearly relevant for emotion regulation and psychopathology.
