Partner Change

People often pursue self-change, and having a romantic partner who supports these changes increases relationship satisfaction. However, most existing research focuses only on the experience of the person who is changing. What predicts whether people support their partner’s change? People with low self-concept clarity resist self-change, so we hypothesized that they would be unsupportive of their partner’s changes. People with low self-concept clarity did not support their partner’s change (Study 1a), because they thought they would have to change, too (Study 1b). Low self-concept clarity predicted failing to support a partner’s change, but not vice versa (Studies 2 and 3), and only for larger changes (Study 3). Not supporting a partner’s change predicted decreases in relationship quality for both members of the couple (Studies 2 and 3). This research underscores the role of partners in self-change, suggesting that failing to support a partner’s change may stem from self-concept confusion.

This study was intended to examine the influence of service worker’s empathy(emotional contagion, empathic concern) on their burnout and engagement. We hypothesized empathy as interactive emotional trait would have incremental interpretation over emotional intelligence and PANAS as individual emotional trait. The participants were 226 employees of a call center. The primary implications were followings. First, empathy significantly influenced on burnout and engagement even after control of emotional intelligence and emotional labors(surface acting, deep acting). Second, there is no moderating effect of emotional contagion on the relation between surface acting and burnout that high surface acting influenced high burnout regardless of the emotional contagion level. Third, deep acting mediated between empathic concern and engagement. Forth, empathic concern reduced the influence of emotional contagion on burnout. Finally, the implications and limitations were discussed.

The Relationship

Cybervictimization has been associated with serious emotional adjustment problems such as low self-concept and depressive symptomatology. In addition, these problems can negatively affect the well-being of the victims, manifesting in their levels of satisfaction with life. However, it should be noted that not all cybervictims develop these consequences with the same intensity. These differences seem to be related to the development of emotional intelligence (EI), as it can positively influence adolescents’ emotional adjustment and well-being even when problems arise. The objective of this work was to analyze the role of EI on cybervictimization and adolescents’ emotional adjustment, especially in self-concept, depression, and life satisfaction. The participants in the study were 1318 adolescents of both sexes and aged between 11 and 18 years (M = 13.8, SD = 1.32), from four secondary compulsory education centers in Spain. EI influences the relationship between self-concept and life satisfaction, and between depression and life satisfaction. In addition, the relationships of cybervictimization with self-concept and depression are influenced when introducing EI and its dimensions (emotional attention, clarity, regulation). These data support the idea that EI may affect the relationship between cybervictimization and adolescents’ emotional adjustment.

This article examines the role of self-concept clarity within the self-assessment of both general intelligence and emotional intelligence and the relation between the results of said tests and the self-concept clarity of participants. The objectives of this study are as follows: (1) the preliminary adaptation of the self-concept clarity scale for use with the Romanian population, (2) the reproduction of previous results concerning the correlations between the self-assessments of participants and the results obtained after psychometric testing on a Romanian sample, (3) research into the existence of a negative correlation between self-concept clarity levels and the errors of participants’ self-assessments and (4) the exploration of the relationship between self-concept clarity and the tests used in this study. The sample used in the study was composed of 157 participants that were assessed online with the self-concept clarity scale, were asked to self-assess their general and emotional intelligence levels and then took the GAMA (general intelligence), MSCEIT and EQ-i (emotional intelligence) tests. The results of the study indicate a significant relation between self-concept clarity and the GAMA, MSCEIT and EQ-i test results and encourage further research into the role of self-concept clarity in the self-assessment process.

Abstract. Exposure to traumatic events and the associated risk of developing Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms is a significant and overlooked concern in the college population. It is important for current research to identify potential protective factors associated with the development and maintenance of PTSD symptoms unique to this population. Emotional intelligence and perceived social support are two identified protective factors that influence the association between exposure to traumatic events and PTSD symptomology. The current study examined the mediating role of social support in the relationship between emotional intelligence and PTSD symptoms. Participants included 443 trauma-exposed university students who completed online questionnaires. The results of this study indicated that social support mediates the relationship between emotional intelligence and reported PTSD symptoms. Thus, emotional intelligence is significantly associated with PTSD symptoms and social support may play an integral role in the relationship between emotional intelligence and PTSD. The current study is the first to investigate the role of social support in the relationship between emotional intelligence and PTSD symptoms. These findings have important treatment and prevention implications with regard to PTSD.

Abstract. This study investigated the mediating role of coping humor in the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and job satisfaction. Participants were 398 primary school teachers in China, who completed the Wong Law Emotional Intelligence Scale, Coping Humor Scale, and Overall Job Satisfaction Scale. Results showed that coping humor was a significant mediator between EI and job satisfaction. A further examination revealed, however, that coping humor only mediated two sub-dimensions of EI (use of emotion and regulation of emotion) and job satisfaction. Implications for future research and limitations of the study are discussed.
