This study aims to examine the mediating effect of dysfunctional meta-cognition and self-compassion between the following two parameters: thought suppression and obsession. This study also examines the effects of thought suppression, which consists of three factors: intrusion, suppression attempts, and successful thought suppression, on obsession. A total of 471 subjects aged 20 and older from the Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province area responded to the survey. The measurement tools used included a shortened form of obsession, thought suppression, dysfunctional cognition, and self-compassion. The main results of this study are as follows. First, intrusive thoughts and thought suppression attempts had a positive effect on obsession, and self-compassion had a negative effect on obsession. However, successive suppression did not have an effect on obsession. Second, dysfunctional meta-cognition had a mediating effect on intrusive thoughts and obsession. However, self-compassion did not have a mediating effect on intrusive thoughts or obsession. Third, dysfunctional meta-cognition had a completely mediating effect on thought suppression attempts and obsession; although self-compassion did not have a mediating effect on thought suppression attempts or obsession. Fourth, dysfunctional meta-cognition did not have a mediating effect on successive suppression and obsession, but self-compassion had a mediating effect on successive suppression and obsession. This study is meaningful in that it analyzes the mediating effect of dysfunctional meta-cognition and self-compassion on the influence of sub-factor of thought suppression on obsession.
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between perfectionism and academic procrastination and to investigate the moderating effect of stress coping strategies between these variables. A total of 38 male and 81 female students in South Korea took a survey using the Multidimensional Perfectionist Scale (MPS), Korean-Coping Strategies Inventory (K-CSI), and Aitken Procrastination Inventory (API). The results of this study were as follows. First, self-oriented perfectionism and academic procrastination had a significant negative correlation. Second, socially-prescribed perfectionism and academic procrastination were not significantly correlated. Third, the avoidant coping strategy had a significant moderating effect on the relationship between self-oriented perfectionism and academic procrastination. Fourth, seeking social support and problem-solving strategies did not have a significant moderating effect on the relationship between self-oriented perfectionism and academic procrastination. This study indicated that avoidant coping strategies affect in the relationship between perfectionism and academic procrastination.
This study examined whether disconnection/rejection schemas mediate the relationship between emotional maltreatment, emotional instability, and borderline personality traits. A total of three hundred and sixty-six undergraduate students (163 male and 203 female) completed a battery assessing emotional, maltreatment, emotional instability (ALS-SF), disconnection/rejection schemas (YSQ-SF) and borderline personality traits (PAI-BOR). Structural Equation Modeling was used to test the mediation effect of disconnection/rejection schemas. The results indicated that emotional maltreatment had a direct effect on borderline personality traits. Meanwhile, it had an indirect effect on borderline personality traits that were mediated by disconnection/rejection schemas. Emotional instability also had a direct effect on borderline personality traits. Concurrently, it had an indirect effect on borderline personality traits, which was mediated by disconnection/rejection schemas. In addition, a partial-mediation demonstrated a better model fit than the full-mediation model. By examining whether the relationship between environmental and temperamental factors and borderline personality traits was mediated by disconnection/rejection schemas, the results of this study allow as to understand development of borderline personality traits. Further, they highlight the importance of using a schema mode within the therapeutic intervention. Finally, the implications, limitations, and future direction of this study were suggested.
This study examined the mediating role of partner evaluation in the association between overt and covert narcissistic traits and marital satisfaction. The Actor-Partner Interdependence Mediation Model was used to examine these associations in 263 nonclinical heterosexual married couples. The direct actor effect of men’s overt narcissism(ON) on men’s marital satisfaction emerged, as well as the direct partner effect of women’s ON on men’s marital satisfaction. Women’s ON influenced their own satisfaction. Mediated actor effects were only found in men’s covert narcissism(CN). A mediated partner effect was discovered in both men and women’s CN. Men’s marital satisfaction was affected by their own CN and that of their partner. Women who had high scores in CN and their partners reported lower marital satisfaction. Based on the results, the implications of the study and suggestions for future studies were discussed.
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between levels of social anxiety symptoms and time perception of emotional faces. A total of 113 college students participated in the two stages of the research. First, they completed the Korean version of the Social Avoidance and Distress Scale. Second, they performed a temporal bisection task using a computer to index perceived duration of emotional faces. In the temporal bisection task, participants were trained to get used to two anchor duration conditions (400ms, 1600ms). Then, they chose between “short” or “long” responses to stimuli that were presented in one of five durations between 400 to 1600ms and three emotional faces. As gender differences were found in the patterns of responses, analyses were conducted separately for gender groups. For women, the higher the social anxiety, the longer the tendency to perceive anger. Conversely, there was no significant correlation for man. This suggests that socially anxious women have a cognitive bias in longer perceptions of anger experiences.
