Self-Affirmation Reduces Biased Processing of Health-Risk InformationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 22 - Trang 99-132 - 1998
Mark B. Reed, Lisa G. Aspinwall
An experiment tested whether a positive experience (the endorsement and recall
of one's past acts of kindness) would reduce biased processing of self-relevant
health-risk information. Women college students (N = 66) who reported high or
low levels of daily caffeine use were exposed to both risk-confirming and
risk-disconfirming information about the link between caffeine consumption and
fibrocysti... hiện toàn bộ
Familiarity increases subjective positive affect even in non-affective and non-evaluative contextsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 40 - Trang 638-645 - 2016
Teresa Garcia-Marques, Marília Prada, Diane M. Mackie
Previous research shows that the experience of familiarity involves the
experience of positive affect. In two experiments we clarify and extend this
research by showing that the experience of familiarity involves the experience
of positive affect even when the nature of the experimental task is
non-affective and non-evaluative and even when participants are actively
performing other cognitive oper... hiện toàn bộ
Values, expectations, and the prediction of social action: An expectancy-valence analysisSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 - Trang 217-244 - 1982
N. T. Feather, James W. Newton
Two studies were conducted to test hypotheses about the relationship of values
to action within the context of expectancy-valence theory. In these studies,
university students who had previously completed the Rokeach Value Survey
answered questionnaires that related to social movement organizations and that
contained attitude items, expectancy items, and measures of willingness to
assist these org... hiện toàn bộ

This study pays attention to within-person fluctuations in meaningful work and
its antecedents and consequences. Considering self- and other-oriented
dimensions as crucial pathways to meaningful work, effects of daily perceived
autonomy support and prosocial impact on one’s meaningful work were examined. A
daily diary study was conducted in which 86 nurses from varied hospitals
reported their work... hiện toàn bộ

Partners in romantic relationships differ in the extent to which they are
oriented towards positive outcomes (e.g., intimacy) or away from negative
outcomes (e.g., conflict). The present study examines these approach-avoidance
relationship goals in relation to self-reported relationship problems, stress
communication, and dyadic coping. Hypotheses were tested on a dyadic level

Evaluation apprehension and the social facilitation/inhibition of learningSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 203-212 - 1983
Russell G. Geen
Sixty female subjects performed a paired-associates learning task either alone
or under surveillance by the experimenter, who openly evaluated the subject's
performance. To half of the subjects the experimenter described her evaluation
as instrumental to the rendering of future help on a similar task; to the
remaining half she gave no such promise. Subjects who were evaluated without the
expectati... hiện toàn bộ
Simple geometric shapes are implicitly associated with affective valueSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 36 - Trang 404-413 - 2011
Christine L. Larson, Joel Aronoff, Elizabeth L. Steuer
Growing evidence suggests that the underlying geometry of a visual image is an
effective mechanism for conveying the affective meaning of a scene or object.
Indeed, even very simple context-free geometric shapes have been shown to signal
emotion. Specifically, downward-pointing V’s are perceived as threatening and
curvilinear forms are perceived as pleasant. As these shapes are thought to be
