The learned-helplessness model has been given much attention recently. In this article some issues are briefly reviewed, the main purpose of this study was, however, to determine the relationship between causal attributions and personality characteristics, symptoms and feelings of well-being. Although causal attribution style is considered a trait-like concept, this can not be substantiated by the results of the current study. It is concluded that a refinement of the learned-helplessness model and its assessment methods is necessary to test the role of causal attributions in psychological functioning more adequately.

Целью данного исследования было выявить возможные связи между эмоциональным интеллектом, интернальностью и удовлетворенностью жизнью у женщин и мужчин в русскоязычной выборке. Показано, что у женщин с интернальностью положительно связаны такие переменные, как управление своими эмоциями , самоменеджмент , распознание эмоций других людей и интегративный показатель эмоционального интеллекта , а у мужчин только с самоменеджментом, при этом интегративный показатель эмоционального интеллекта имеет лишь тенденцию положительной связи с интернальностью. Установлено наличие положительной связи удовлетворенности жизнью мужчин и женщин с интегративным показателем эмоционального интеллекта и рядом его компонентов: эмоциональной осведомленностью , управлением собственными эмоциями , самоменеджментом и распознанием эмоций других людей . Полученные результаты в целом совпадают с общими выводами зарубежных исследователей о положительной связи эмоционального интеллекта с интернальностью и удовлетворенностью жизнью, но при этом в данном исследовании: а) конкретизированы компоненты эмоционального интеллекта, за счет которых такие связи; б) установлены совпадения и различия в этих связях для мужчин и женщин. Интернальность женщин положительно и статистически значимо связана с удовлетворенностью жизнью. У мужчин связь между этими характеристиками личности отсутствует. Сопоставить эти результаты с выводами других исследователей невозможно ввиду того, что не удалось обнаружить работ о связи между интернальностью и удовлетворенностью жизнью ни у русскоязычных, ни у зарубежных авторов. У женщин в среднем выше показатели эмпатии, распознания эмоций других людей и интегративного показателя эмоционального интеллекта. The purpose of this study was to identify possible links between emotional intelligence, internality, and life satisfaction in women and men in the Russian-speaking sample. It has been shown that in women, internality is positively associated with such variables as control of their emotions, self-management, recognition of the emotions of other people and the integrative indicator of emotional intelligence, and in men only with self-management, while the integrative indicator of emotional intelligence has only a positive tendency for internality. The presence of a positive relationship between satisfaction with the life of men and women with an integrative indicator of emotional intelligence and a number of its components: emotional awareness, control of one's own emotions, self-management and recognition of the emotions of other people was established. The results obtained generally coincide with the general conclusions of foreign researchers about a positive relationship between emotional intelligence and internality and life satisfaction, but at the same time in this study: a) the components of emotional intelligence, due to which such connections are made, are specified; b) the coincidences and differences in these connections for men and women were established. The internality of women is positively and statistically significantly associated with life satisfaction. In men, there is no connection between these personality characteristics. It is impossible to compare these results with the conclusions of other researchers due to the fact that it was not possible to find works on the relationship between internality and life satisfaction either in Russian-speaking or foreign authors. Women, on average, have higher scores for empathy, recognition of other people's emotions, and an integrative score for emotional intelligence.

Individuals voluntarily internalize gender stereotypes and present personality characteristics and behaviors that conform to gender role requirements. The aim of the current study was to explore the reasons people internalize gender stereotypes. We conducted surveys with 317 college students in China to examine the relationship between gender self-stereotyping and life satisfaction. We also analyzed the mediating roles of relational self-esteem (RSE) and personal self-esteem (PSE) and the moderation role of gender. The results of path analysis showed that gender self-stereotyping directly affected life satisfaction and indirectly affected life satisfaction through RSE and PSE in a serial pattern; however, the serial mediation model was only significant in the male sample. Higher gender self-stereotyping was associated with male participants’ higher level of RSE and PSE and further correlated with higher life satisfaction. This study addressed the questions: “What are the benefits of gender self-stereotyping?” and “What are the major barriers to counter-stereotyping?” The results enrich our understanding of these issues, especially relative to the collectivist culture in China, and may be used to create more effective interventions to help people break through the stereotypes.

Abstract. This study addresses prior mixed findings on the relationship between future time perspective (FTP) and well-being as well as examines the associations between three aspects of FTP and life satisfaction in the health and friendship domains. 159 Germans, 97 US Americans, and 240 Hong Kong Chinese, aged 19–86 years, completed a survey on future self-views (valence) and life satisfaction. They also reported the extent to which they perceived future time as expanded vs. limited (time extension) and meaningful (openness). Findings revealed that individuals with more positive future self-views had higher satisfaction. However, those who perceived their future as more meaningful or perceived more time in their future reported higher satisfaction even when future self-views were less positive.
