Funny Students Cope Better: Patterns of Humor Enactment and Coping Effectiveness

Increasingly, college students are employed in jobs outside of class—and contend with additional stressors as a result—when they attempt to balance work and academic demands. Enacting humorous communication is one productive way to handle such stress. In a college student, the replication of the process of using humor to cope with job stress (i.e., higher humor orientation, HO) was associated with higher ratings of effectiveness, greater self-perceived coping effectiveness, and subsequently with higher job satisfaction. Path analysis demonstrated that, as the transactional theory would predict, students' trait HO influences their job satisfaction through its effect on heightened coping efficacy. Results indicated that, across two very different sample populations, college students and fully employed adults are extremely similar in the process and benefits of using humor to cope.     

Understanding Emotional Response Theory: The Role of Instructor Power and Justice Messages

Self‐efficacy is the belief or confidence people have in their ability to achieve their goals. This study tested a path model involving past communicative experience, situation difficulty, self‐efficacy, interpersonal communication competence, and interpersonal communication outcomes. We found that self‐efficacy mediated the effect of past experience and situation difficulty on interpersonal communication outcomes. Interpersonal communication competence directly effected rewarding, satisfying communication. The study also provided concurrent validity information on the Interpersonal Communication Competence Scale, a skills measure of competence that taps 10 dimensions of the construct.     

郁达夫文学思想探讨

在文学本体论上,郁达夫是一个“唯真唯美”说的倡导者。他的文学观念的最基本内涵是情绪表现论,认为是不可遏制的情感“逼迫”作家写作,认为文学作品都是作家的自叙传。他认为,文学具有宣泄情绪、净化情绪,能为读者作者寻觅知音、为读者提供审美享受的作用,但他否认文学的社会功用。     

“情感真人秀”类型电视栏目的兴起及发展进路

“情感真人秀”是近年来出现并日益成熟的全新电视节目形态,它以矛盾为出发点,凭借戏剧化的包装在事件双方的冲突中展现真实人物的情感,引起了受众和电视研究者们的广泛关注和论争。这一节目形态的兴起得益于第二媒介时代“双向的去中心化的”交流需求的产生与席卷全球的泛真人秀浪潮的共同推动。在历经萌芽、成熟、突破三个主要的发展阶段后,它最终依靠《人间》等品牌栏目的巨大社会影响力跻身主流电视节目类型之列。     

情绪与社会能力测评与培养的重要意义

情绪智力理论的问题是将情感性的非认知能力称为智力,而这些能力实际是情感适应机能或自我调节机能,应正确定义为情绪能力.本研究建构了情绪能力的九因子模型.测量结果证实了这一模型的有效性,所编制的情绪能力量表有较好的信度和效度.同时发现情绪能力是学业成绩的一个重要影响因素.研究结果肯定的情绪能力的科学地位,而且对目前存在的偏重认知能力轻视情绪与社会能力的错误认识提供了很好的反驳证据.情绪与社会能力不仅影响学习成绩,而且是适应社会和事业成功的重要条件.     

浅谈英语教学中的情感教育

在我国,中小学英语教育是英语学习的启蒙教育,教师能否将学生顺利地引入英语学习的正轨,使学生能够主动地投入今后相对漫长的英语学习,除了教师有扎实的基本功和丰富的经验外,融情感于教学中这一教学策略更有其深远的重要性和必要性。教师能否合理地使用这种教学策略,对英语教学起着关键的推动作用。

Emotional intelligence: The key to mitigating stress and fostering trust among software developers working on information system projects

The successful accomplishment of information systems development (ISD) activities is reliant on the efforts of developers, who are largely responsible for creating the required system artefacts. Developers encounter numerous obstacles in their efforts to successfully complete activities, such as the need to develop software within highly-complex broad-ranging projects. These problems increase levels of stress, which subsequently affect developers’ ability to self-regulate their feelings and understanding. However, only scant attention has been paid to their personal skills and competency in overcoming these issues. This study therefore aimed to bridge this gap by exploring the impact of developers’ emotional intelligence on stress, trust, and performance. Our empirical results show that emotional intelligence mitigates stress and fosters trust among software developers working on information system projects. Additionally, role ambiguity increases the effect of stress on performance.     

Be cool with academic stress: the association between emotional states and regulatory strategies among Chinese adolescents

Numerous studies have suggested that academic stress has negative impact on adolescents’ psychological function, few of those studies, however, considered whether and how the impact of stress on adolescents’ emotional states is moderated by corresponding regulation. This study aimed to examine the fluctuation of emotional states before and after the mid-term examination and the influence of different emotional regulatory strategies. In the present study, 72 adolescents aged 12–18 reported their emotional states and corresponding regulation before and after mid-term examination up to six times over a period of two weeks. Results showed that: (a) On the sampling day, the participants reported increasingly emotional states as time went by. Improvement of adolescents’ daily emotional states was more significant after the mid-term examination. Participants reported decreasingly positive emotional states and increasingly negative ones as time went by before mid-term examination. (b) Adolescents who used down-regulation at a certain sampling moment reported more pleasant emotional states at the subsequent sampling moment than those who used up-regulation. Adolescents who used more up-regulation in a negative emotional event reported more negative emotional states at the subsequent sampling moment after the mid-term examination.     

The 2 × 2 standards and standpoints measure of EFL teachers’ achievement goals: Model revision and relations with affective and behavioral outcomes

This study aimed to develop and validate a 2 × 2 Standpoints and Standards measure of EFL (English as a foreign language) teachers’ achievement goals. To this end, 441 teachers were first involved in scale development and validation phase. In the second phase, responses by 194 teachers were used to examine the predictive utility of achievement goals with respect to some correlates such as type of feedback information and emotional exhaustion. Phase 1 results supported validity and reliability of the scale for measuring EFL teachers’ achievement goals. In phase 2, structural equation modeling showed positive patterns for original mastery approach goals, though these goals positively predicted self-validation information. Original mastery avoidance goals also positively associated with emotional exhaustion. Moreover, the results showed negative patterns for original performance goals. Implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.
