Role Of Negative Emotions Research Articles

Моральная мотивация в моделях нравственного поведения

This article shows the relationship between moral motives and emotions, both negative and positive. The main idea is that the motives for moral behavior are diverse and cannot be reduced to a single basis, nor to one moral rule, nor to several fundamental rules. The role of negative emotions is manifested in the anticipation of future states of an unfulfilled duty, which in some cases may be associated with the choice of death as a preferable alternative to life with constant torment of conscience. Positive emotions in morality are associated with the consciousness of a fulfilled duty or are determined by the nature of the process of satisfying a person’s highest social needs, since the target behavior is necessarily associated with moral motives that enhance the power of emotional perception of the process of carrying out all complex types of social activities. I am aware that the behavioral models proposed in the article involve a certain simplification of the forms of behavior found in real life. However, simplification is a means of any theoretical analysis, so it is also quite justified in the approach to morality.

Risk Perception and Maternal Prenatal Depressive Symptoms in the Early Stage of COVID-19 Pandemic in China: Role of Negative Emotions and Family Sense of Coherence.

Prenatal depression is associated with adverse health outcomes for both mothers and their children. The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic has presented new risks and challenges for expectant mothers. The aims of the study were to investigate the underlying mechanism between COVID-19 risk perception of Chinese pregnant women and their prenatal depressive symptoms and potential protective factors such as family sense of coherence (FSOC). A total of 181 Chinese pregnant women (Mage = 31.40 years, SD = 3.67, ranged from 23 to 43) participated in an online survey from April 22 to May 16, 2020. Risk perception and negative emotions (fear and anxiety) related with COVID-19, FSOC, and prenatal depressive symptoms were assessed. The experience of maternal COVID-19 related negative emotion fully mediated the positive relationship between COVID-19 risk perception and prenatal depressive symptoms of pregnant women (β = 0.12, 95% CI [0.06, 0.19]). When confronting COVID-19 related fear and anxiety, expectant mothers from higher coherent families experienced a significantly lower level of prenatal depressive symptoms. Contextual negative emotional experience was demonstrated to explain how risk perception impacts depressive symptoms during severe public health crisis for pregnant women. FSOC may be a psychological resource protecting pregnant women from experiencing adverse psychological outcomes during COVID-19 pandemic.

Older Adults' Exposure to Food Media Induced Unhealthy Eating during the COVID-19 Omicron Lockdown? Exploring Negative Emotions and Associated Literacy and Efficacy on Shanghainese.

The COVID-19 pandemic, propelled by the highly transmissible Omicron variant, had a global impact and significantly affected Shanghai, a major city in China. This study investigates how food media exposure influenced unhealthy eating habits among older adults during the COVID-19 lockdown in Shanghai, focusing on the roles of negative emotions, food literacy, health consciousness, and eating self-efficacy. The random sample comprised 400 individuals aged ≥50 years who lived in Shanghai from March to June 2022. A path and correlation analysis was performed. The exposure of older adults to food media resulted in the acceleration of unhealthy eating. The relationship was significantly exacerbated by food literacy and negative emotions. In contrast, eating self-efficacy and health consciousness effectively countered the media. The enhanced pathway from food-related media influence to eating habits through negative emotions or self-efficacy towards health awareness and food literacy showed significant effects. The findings provide insights for future research and public health strategies. Importantly, this study has practical significance for media professionals, public health decision-makers, and healthy food businesses regarding how to enhance older adults' cognition to respond to unhealthy eating crises.

КОГНИТИВНЫЙ НЕОАССОЦИАНИЗМ:РОЛЬ ОТРИЦАТЕЛЬНЫХ ЭМОЦИЙ

The relevance of the topic “Cognitive neo-associationism: the role of negative emotions” is that, despite the time, the question of aggression and the way to calm down still stands and has not been completely resolved due to the fact that it is impossible to completely select an individual plan for combating aggression. Methods with elements of art, relaxation exercises and even sports were used as the main solutions to the problem. In the aspect of cognitive assessment, basic and suprabasic emotions are considered. If basic emotions are triggered by innate triggers, then supra-basic ones are triggered by those acquired during the life of a particular person. Superbasic or socialized emotions most often have a cognitive nature of origin and their appearance in the psyche. Such emotions are conscious in nature, since they appear upon the fact of a cognitive assessment of the stimulus; in turn, the appearance of basic emotions based on innate stimuli is most often not realized by a person. The purpose of the study was to overcome constructs in the scientific literature about the dominance of cognitive mechanisms of the origin of emotions. The object of the study was emotions and the nature of their origin. The subject of the study was a critique of the cognitive approach to the origin of emotions and the substantiation of the importance of the biological approach, where an important role is given to the innate and genetic mechanisms of the appearance of emotions. The methodological basis of the study was the analysis of scientific research on the problem of the nature and appearance of basic emotions in the psyche.

Roles of negative emotions and personality traits in psoriasis vulgaris: A mendelian randomization study.

Many studies have indicated that negative emotions and personality traits are related to psoriasis, though few have provided causal evidence. Our analysis utilized 15 genome-wide association study datasets to identify instrumental variables associated with negative emotions, personality traits and psoriasis vulgaris. Two-sample Mendelian randomization was conducted to identify the causal associations of negative emotions and personality traits with psoriasis vulgaris. To mitigate bias from multiple tests, we adjusted p-values using the Benjamini-Hochberg method. Our study revealed causal links between negative emotions and psoriasis vulgaris, including depressed affect, worry too long, feeling hurt, guilty feelings, mood swings, unenthusiasm, miserableness, fed-up feelings. However, there was no significant evidence of a causal relationship between feeling lonely and psoriasis vulgaris. Additionally, personality traits including neuroticism and openness to experience were found to have causal effects on psoriasis vulgaris. However, no significant evidence supported a causal relationship between agreeableness, conscientiousness, and extraversion with psoriasis vulgaris. Our findings suggest that experiencing negative emotions including depressed affect, worrying excessively, feeling hurt, guilty feelings, mood swings, lack of enthusiasm, miserableness and fed-up feelings may pose risks for psoriasis vulgaris. Additionally, neuroticism is associated with a risk of psoriasis vulgaris. Conversely, the openness trait may serve a protective role against psoriasis vulgaris.

Entrepreneurs can create a better tomorrow: The relationship between entrepreneurial grit, nonfinancial success, and societal impact

ABSTRACT Entrepreneurial grit, defined as passion and perseverance for long-term goals, has repeatedly been linked to higher venture performance. In this paper, we theorize that higher levels of grit may also lead to more nonfinancial success and stronger societal impact for entrepreneurs and that anxiety is a negative moderator in these relationships. We test our model among 1,398 German entrepreneurs in a broad range of industries and find support for our hypotheses. We contribute by uncovering grit as a novel determinant for the nonfinancial success measures of personal fulfillment and workplace relationships, as well as for societal impact, and by shedding light on the role of negative emotions as attenuators in these relationships.

Populism Versus Nativism: Socio-Economic, Socio-Cultural, and Emotional Predictors

Previous research on predictors of populism and nativism has predominantly focused on socio-economic (e.g., education, employment, social status), and socio-cultural explanations (e.g., social identity and social status). In recent years, however, the role of negative emotions has become increasingly important in the study of populism and related concepts. In the current study, we examined two distinct negative emotions: anxiety and anger. We collected survey data from participants in 15 European countries ( N = 7,726) and tested three sets of measures reflecting different explanations, economic (e.g., education), socio-cultural (e.g., social identity), and emotional in predicting populist attitudes (compromising items on anti-elitism and people-centrism) and nativism. We tested these different predictors using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results of our basic SEM models show that negative emotions (anxiety and anger) predict both populist attitudes (people-centrism and anti-elitism) and nativism. In particular, anxiety predicts anger, which in turn predicts both populist attitudes and nativism. In our advanced SEM models, people-centrism was predicted by anger and social identity, whereas nativism was predicted by anger, anxiety, social identity, and education. Our study shows that negative emotions (anger, anxiety) are much better predictors of populist attitudes and nativism than mere socio-economic and socio-cultural factors.

The reduction of effective feedback reception due to negative emotions in appeals

Citizens’ daily appeals are generally accompanied by negative sentiment, yet little is known about the impact of negative emotions on official response behaviors in a closed online environment. This study analyzed over 2.6 million environmental appeals and their handling records from China’s closed complaint platform to explore how individual negative emotions affect department response behaviors. The results showed that negative emotions could cause departments to respond more rapidly and decrease the likelihood of the citizens receiving department assistance. Whether the appeal can be handled efficiently also depends on the oversight of the department and the respondent’s implementation. Negative emotion towards the department is more likely to lead to a failed handling of the appeal. In addition, when citizens face serious hazards, such as health risks, negative emotions are understandable. Negative emotional appeals concerning health risks receive more time and effective intervention by departments. This paper sheds light on the role of negative emotions in shaping feedback and provides suggestions for improving individual appeal expression and departmental response behavior.

The creative-being model: the role of negative emotion in creative flourishing and the impact on positive education

ABSTRACT In a volatile and ever-changing world, creativity and wellbeing are essential for learners to flourish. With lagging educational models and siloed thinking and practice surrounding wellbeing and creativity, a new model of creativity and wellbeing is needed. Creative-Being is offered as a dualistic systemic model that is grounded in a Systems Informed Positive Education perspective, encompassing negative emotion as a mechanism to promote both creativity and wellbeing, or creative flourishing. Designed to equip learners, Creative-Being offers fresh insights into the positive transforming power of negative emotion in the creative process, providing an important step forward in furthering positive education.

An investigation of laboratory-based positive and negative emotional suppression in relation to posttraumatic stress disorder symptom clusters.

Emotional suppression is a clinically significant aspect of emotion regulation with robust associations to psychopathology, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Despite the fast-growing body of literature highlighting the role of positive emotion regulation difficulties in the development and maintenance of PTSD, extant work on emotional suppression and PTSD has almost exclusively focused on the role of negative emotions. The present study aimed to advance this literature by examining the associations between PTSD symptom clusters and participants' use of state emotional suppression during a laboratory task designed to elicit negative or positive emotions. Participants were 108 community women (Mage = 39.55; 33% Black/African American) currently experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) by a male partner and using substances. Participants were interviewed using a structured diagnostic assessment for PTSD and reported on state emotional intensity and emotional suppression following idiographic negative or positive emotion inductions. Results of the moderation analyses showed that, when controlling for state emotional intensity, women experiencing clinical levels of PTSD symptom Clusters B (intrusive recollections), D (negative alterations in cognitions and mood), and E (alterations in arousal and reactivity) were significantly more likely to utilize emotional suppression, but only in the context of positive-not negative-emotions. Findings provide evidence for a link between PTSD and positive emotional suppression among women currently experiencing IPV by a male partner and using substances, highlighting positive emotional suppression as a potential target in PTSD treatment for IPV populations with comorbid substance use concerns.

MODERASI NEGATIVE EMOTION PADA PENGARUH JOB INSECURITY TERHADAP EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT DI PT DELTA SATRIA DEWATA

Employee engagement is related to the company's overall performance and is defined as an employee's emotional commitment to their workplace. PT. Delta Satria Dewata still finds problems related to employee engagement. Another problem is job insecurity that occurs because of a third party or outsourcing that makes employees feel insecure, especially in employee contracts that cause negative emotions. This study aims to determine the effect of job insecurity on employee engagement and the role of negative emotion as a moderator variable. The population in this study were employees of PT. Delta Satria Dewata totals 120 people and the method of determining the sample used is saturated sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire and measured using a Likert scale. The data analysis used in this study is MRA. The results of this study indicate that job insecurity has a negative and significant effect on employee engagement, while negative emotion strengthens the relationship between job insecurity and employee engagement. The results of this study are in line with the results of previous studies and theoretical studies of two factors related to employee engagement

The relationship between negative parenting styles and suicidal ideation among Chinese junior middle school students: The roles of negative emotions and hope

AbstractSuicidal ideation is a prominent public health problem among junior middle school students. Previous researchers have explored the influence of parenting style on adolescents' suicidal ideation, but few researchers distinguished the influence of positive and negative parenting styles. The mediating effect of negative emotions between negative parenting styles and suicidal ideation and the moderating effect of hope among Chinese junior middle school students were focused on in this study. 877 junior middle school students in Hunan, Anhui, and Jiangxi provinces in China were investigated with the simplified Parenting Style Questionnaire, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, Children's Hope Scale, and Self‐rating Idea of Suicide Scale. The theoretical models were tested through the PROCESS macro for SPSS. The results showed that: (1) Negative parenting styles had positive effects on suicidal ideation. (2) Negative emotions mediated the relationship between negative parenting styles and suicidal ideation. (3) Hope moderated the relationship between negative emotions and suicidal ideation. This study implies that we could start by improving adolescents' negative parenting styles and raising their level of hope to prevent and intervene in adolescents' suicidal ideation.

Revenge buying: The role of negative emotions caused by lockdowns

With the stabilizing of COVID-19 and the lessening of isolation measures, the consumption market is gradually recovering. Consumers exhibit a tendency to compensate for the previous pent-up demand, triggering the phenomenon of revenge spending. Nevertheless, research on revenge buying during the pandemic has been limited thus far. Moreover, the role of negative emotions and retail therapy has not been well explored. Therefore, drawing from retail therapy theory and the stimulus-organism-response framework, this study aims to investigate how negative emotions, physiological motivations, and self-seeking stimulate consumers to form positive perceptions that revenge buying can provide therapeutic utilities, and consequently choose revenge buying. Empirical data were collected from China. The structural equation modelling results reveal that anxiety, boredom, self-seeking, and psychological motivation have a positive influence on therapeutic shopping motivation, therapeutic shopping value and therapeutic shopping outcome, which subsequently influence revenge buying behavior. The theoretical model provides a novel perspective to research revenge buying. Additionally, the results provide managerial implications for consumer, retailers, and policymakers to make preparedness for revenge buying in future health crises.

Long-Term Relationships Between Negative Life Events and Suicidal Ideation Specifying Agnew's General Theory of Crime and Delinquency: A 7-Year Longitudinal Mediation Analysis.

The purpose of this study was to examine the longitudinal mediationa(l pathways on the link between various straining experiences and suicidal ideation and to test whether its relationship was mediated by the role of negative emotions, constraints, and motivations. Data for this study were collected as part of the Korean Welfare Panel Study, which was a longitudinal study conducted among 7,027 Korean households, surveyed annually from 2006 to 2012. The results indicated that bullying victimization had important effects on negative emotions, although bullying victimization was not significant for later suicidal ideation. Peer delinquency was significantly correlated with negative emotions and positively predicted later suicidal ideation. Also, the significant impact of bullying victimization was transmitted to suicidal ideation through negative emotions. It implies that individuals' negative life events predicted strain or stressors generating negative emotions that, in turn, led to a high risk of suicidal ideation as a possible coping skill.

Negative Life Events and Procrastination among Adolescents: The Roles of Negative Emotions and Rumination, as Well as the Potential Gender Differences.

Procrastination (the intentional delay of action despite knowing that one will be worse off due to the delay) is a widespread phenomenon with various negative consequences, especially among adolescents. Based on relevant evidence, this study examined the relation between negative life events and adolescents' procrastination, as well as the underlying mechanisms-specifically, the effects of negative emotions and rumination, as well as the potential gender differences. A total of 780 adolescents (Mage = 12.92 years old; 52.2% females) were recruited to complete a set of questionnaires assessing negative life events, procrastination, depression-anxiety-stress symptoms and rumination. Results showed that negative life events were positively associated with procrastination, and negative emotions significantly mediated the relation; rumination played a moderating role in this mediation model, specifically, both the direct and indirect effects in this mediation model were stronger for adolescents with higher rumination. Besides this, gender differences in this moderated mediation model were also found-the indirect effect of negative emotions was stronger for girls, and this mediating effect could be moderated by rumination only for boys. These results expanded our understanding of how negative life events influence procrastination and when (or for whom) negative life events influence procrastination the most. The findings also have significant implications for the prevention and intervention of adolescents' procrastination.

Linking construction noise to worker safety behavior: The role of negative emotion and regulatory focus

Construction noise has been identified as one of the primary concerns because it is a pervasive stressor with a harmful effect on worker health. However, little is known about the processes and mechanisms linking construction noise to worker safety behavior. This study aims at understanding the effects of construction noise on worker safety behavior via negative emotion, and how these effects are influenced by two types of distinct regulatory focus (i.e., prevention and promotion focus). A questionnaire survey of 375 construction workers was performed and the data was analyzed using statistical tools. The regression analysis indicates that construction noise is significantly and negatively associated with both dimensions of safety behavior: safety compliance and safety citizenship behavior. Furthermore, the positive effect of construction noise on negative emotion is enhanced by prevention focus, while diminished by promotion focus. Also, the indirect effect of construction noise on safety compliance via negative emotion is moderated by prevention focus, such that construction noise has stronger relations with safety compliance via negative emotion when prevention focus is lower (vs higher). The findings advance the understanding of the relationships among noise, negative emotion, safety behavior and regulatory focus. This study also provides practical implication that reducing construction noise is important for organizations to protect workers’ healthy and safe outcomes.

The Role of Negative Emotions in Binge Eating Disorder

Binge Eating Disorder (BED) refers to the abnormal condition in which patients uncontrollably consume a large quantity of food for a persisting period. There are severe physical and mental health problems brought about by binging. This review is written with the purpose of analyzing the effects and mechanisms of negative emotions on BED. In addition, intervention approaches for BED are discussed. Negative moods are found to precede often binging behavior, and almost all non-purging patients of BED display feelings of guilt after binge eating episodes. From a biological point of view, cortisol and the HPA-Axis are suspected to be closely related to binge eating in response to stress. In addition, shame specifically is found to be positively correlated with binge eating, and binge-induced shame could trigger even more external shame, which forms the vicious cycle of BED. Several existing treatments for BED are reported to be effective to different extents, including either therapist-led or self-guided cognitive Behavior Treatment, Interpersonal Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

The Suicidal Process and the Role of Negative Emotions in Suicidal Behavior: A Phenomenological Study Among the Baganda.

This article is part of a phenomenological study that aimed at exploring the meanings of Deliberate Self-Harm among the Baganda in Uganda. It describes the suicidal process and the role of negative emotions among the Baganda involved in potentially suicidal self-harm behavior. Narrative interviews were conducted with 18 respondents (5 males and 13 females) aged 18-75years who had engaged in self-harm. A case by case analysis was done using descriptive phenomenological method. The details of the narratives are described using the "suicidal process approach" proposed by van Heeringens. Comparing the narratives, we observed that most individuals found themselves unable to manage their negative emotions and for some, this situation persisted through multiple episodes. Hence, one of the suicide prevention strategy is to emphasize emotional regulation skills like self-awareness, being mindful and self-compassion in all forms of psychotherapy intervention at all levels.

The Relation of Ideology of Positive Thinking with the Perception of Cancer Risk and Ways of Treating It in Medellin, Colombia.

This study has the following objectives: i) to construct an instrument to measure positive thinking ideology (PTI) regarding cancer, and to evaluate its psychometric properties, ii) to describe the effects of PTI on cancer risk and its treatment, and iii) to identify the associated factors with PTI in the study group. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 611 people from the Medellin, Colombia. Participants were selected through stratified sampling with proportional assignment. A survey with three constructs was applied: the role of negative emotions in cancer etiology, cancer as a redeeming event, and the effects of PTI in cancer treatment. In negative emotions construct 47% considered that holding anger, resentment, and hatred represent a moderate or high risk of generating cancer. In redeeming power construct 46.5% found that cancer is a battle that the best warriors win. Concerning the treatment, 77.3% considered that facing the disease with a fighting spirit had a moderate to high positive effect in response to the treatment. The associated factors with PTI were reading self-help books and education level. The results show that PTI affects perceptions about the cancer, its etiology and treatment. This effect is greater in undereducated people and in self-help book readers. The instrument showed excellent reliability, internal consistency, discriminating power, content, and construct validity properties.

The role of negative emotions in learning music: qualitative understanding of Australian undergraduate students’ listening experience of unfamiliar music

AbstractThis paper examines the experience and role of negative emotions in facilitating university students’ learning in world music courses. Based on a review of literature in music psychology and music education, we posit that negative emotions can engender a meaningful learning context. In this project conducted in an Australian university, we created a condition in which students were engaged in repeated listening to recordings of music from cultures different from their own, which they reported as sounding “unpleasant.” We then analysed how they overcame emotional responses through a listening exercise. The findings suggest that the students developed enhanced motivation and cognitive reflection by facing their own negative emotions through repeated listening. The article finishes with a discussion about the positive side of negative emotions and the negative side of positive emotions as they relate to music education.
