Abstract. Background: This study focused on poor coping flexibility, which involves the perseveration of a failed coping strategy, as a moderator of the association between depression and suicidal risk; no study has previously examined the association between coping flexibility and suicidal risk. Aims: This study examined whether individuals with lower coping flexibility would have a stronger suicidal risk when experiencing depression above a certain level. Method: Participants, who were 682 college students, answered questionnaires regarding coping flexibility, depressive symptoms, and suicidal risk. Results: Hierarchical multiple regression analyses showed that in individuals with greater depressive symptoms, lower coping flexibility was associated with higher suicidal risk, but this was not the case in individuals without depressive symptoms. Our hypothesis was supported. Limitations: Our findings cannot indicate the causal direction of the association between coping flexibility and depressive symptoms and suicidal risk. Conclusion: Our findings may be useful in understanding the association between depression and suicidal risk through coping flexibility and contribute to reductions in suicidal risk, as coping flexibility can be improved through training.

The Impact

Data from the Healthy Mind Study were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression analyses to determine the role of discriminatory experience in students’ confidence in their ability to persist through graduation, controlling for age, extracurricular activity participation, housing, years in their degree program, and their sense of belonging. The final sample consists of 4,708 college students—57.1% women, 70.8% Whites, 7.4% Blacks, 10.4% Asians, and 10.4% Latinx. A final hierarchical multiple regression with discrimination and covariates revealed an overall model that explained 15.5% of the total variance of confidence to persist (F [12, 4574] = 76.762, p < .001). The frequency of discriminatory experiences explains a statistically significant percentage of the variance in students’ confidence in their ability to persist. Thus, efforts to minimize students’ discriminatory experiences need to be increased. This study offers an initial step that institutions can implement to serve and retain their students better.

Do learners of textual prose know which portions of the text are likely to be difficult to recall? For each of two textual passages, samples of college students were able to predict accurately the prose subunits which were actually recalled by various samples of learners attempting immediate or delayed reproductions. Multiple regression analyses provided evidence that the predictions of recall showed considerable congruence with independent ratings of the meaningfulness and comprehensibility of the subunits.

The Relationship

Background Among patients with heart failure, women have worse functional status than do men, but little research has focused on determining factors that influence functional status in either sex. Objectives To compare factors that influence functional status in men and women with heart failure and to test whether depressive symptoms mediate the relationship between physical symptoms and functional status. Methods A cross-sectional, descriptive study design was used. A total of 231 patients, 133 men and 98 women, were recruited from an inpatient heart failure clinic in South Korea. Functional status (the Korean Activity Scale/Index), physical symptoms (the Symptom Status Questionnaire), depressive symptoms (the Beck Depression Inventory), and situational factors (living status, socioeconomic status) were measured. Hierarchical multiple regression and mediation analysis were used for data analysis. Results Women (mean score, 24.5; SD, 17.3) had worse functional status than did men (mean score, 31.9; SD, 20.1; P = .004). Dyspnea on exertion (β = −0.16), ankle swelling (β = −0.19), fatigue (β = −0.20), and depressive symptoms (β = −0.19) were independently associated with functional status in women, whereas only dyspnea on exertion (β = −0.30) influenced functional status of men in hierarchical multiple regression analysis. Mediation analysis indicated that depressive symptoms mediated the relationship between physical symptoms and functional status in women with heart failure, but not in men. Conclusions Distinct physical and psychological symptoms influence functional status in women with heart failure. A systematic multidimensional intervention may be required to target depressive symptoms to improve functional status in women with heart failure.

Natural Stress

This paper describes two related studies. The general hypothesis was that the rhythmic patterning of dialogue is related to how onlookers perceive certain psychological characteristics of the speakers. The experimental procedures in both studies involved evaluation by independent observers of the “credibility” of participants. In the first study 30 female college students were assigned to two conditions; each subject was either to read or to listen to monologues and dialogues (between senators and witnesses) from the “Watergate” hearings. There were significant differences in student ratings between listening and reading conditions for witnesses engaged in dialogues. In the second study 53 male and female subjects listened to tapes or read transcripts of dialogue from four senator-witness pairs. As in Study 1 subjects rated witnesses on a number of dimensions including credibility. Non-lexical qualities of speech in the taped dialogues were analyzed using a PDP-12 computer and these data were correlated with subjects' credibility ratings. The multiple regression analyses indicated that mean turn time, variability of pauses, and similarity in duration of pauses and vocalizations were significantly related to ratings of witnesses.

Hierarchical Multiple Regression

Social physique anxiety (SPA) is a subtype of social anxiety that stems from self-presentational concerns about the appearance of one’s physique. The purpose of the present study was to examine correlates of SPA among individuals who instruct in a high social evaluation setting. Data from 286 female aerobic instructors (M age = 34.11) were collected on SPA, age, body mass index (BMI), exposure to the exercise setting (number of years spent instructing and participating in aerobic classes), and motive for instructing (leadership, affect enhancement, self-presentational). Hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that BMI, age, and motive for instructing accounted for 25% of the variance in SPAS scores, F(6, 223) = 12.11, p < .0001. Women who instructed for self-presentational motives had significantly higher SPA compared to women who instructed for leadership and affect enhancement motives. Contrary to hypothesis, the amount of exposure to the aerobic exercise setting was unrelated to SPA. Based on this result, we suggest that repeated exposure to a physique salient environment does not diminish women’s self-presentational concerns about their bodies.

The Relationship

The relationship between specific personality variables and alcohol abuse in college students were examined. Ninety-seven undergraduate college students were administered the trait portions of the State-Trait Personality Inventory and the Student Drinking Questionnaire. Results of stepwise multiple regression analyses indicated that these personality variables were not strong predictors of alcohol abuse in this population. However, subjects who were identified as being highly trait anxious or trait angry were significantly more likely to abuse alcohol than subjects low on these variables.

Technology Orientation

The main way in which knowledge workers' interpersonal skills affect their innovation performances during collaborations was investigated including the relationships among the orientation of the collaborations of which the knowledge workers were part, their interpersonal skills, and their innovation performances. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted on data gathered from a sample of 130 usable dyadic questionnaires completed by R&D engineers and their managers in Taiwanese high-tech industries. The 2 main empirical results are: first, both customer orientation and technology orientation of collaborations make significant contributions to engineers' innovation performances; second, engineers' interpersonal skills significantly moderate the influences of customer orientation of collaborations on their innovation performances, but do not significantly moderate the influences from the technology orientation of collaborations.

Experiential Acceptance

Previous research on Korean-born adoptees suggests that exploring one’s ethnic identity may increase one’s psychological well-being. Existing research also suggests that some adoptees may not engage in ethnic identity exploration because they wish to avoid feeling different because of their adopted status. The current study sought to integrate these findings and investigate associations between experiential acceptance of adoption-related thoughts and feelings, ethnic identity, and psychological well-being in a Korean-born adoptee population ( N = 91). Hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that experiential acceptance significantly contributed to both psychological well-being and development of a positive ethnic identity. Clinical implications for therapists and families are discussed.

Curvilinear Relation

Based on activation theory and appraisal theory, this study examines the curvilinear relationship between time pressure and work engagement. Further, we argue that this curvilinear relation holds only if time pressure is not induced by unreasonable or unnecessary tasks. We tested our hypotheses in a heterogeneous sample of 191 employees. Results of moderated hierarchical multiple regression analyses provide evidence for an inverted U-shape relation between time pressure and work engagement. Our findings show that the motivating effect of a moderate level of time pressure holds only when employees are assigned to tasks with a low unreasonability rating. Our findings have implications for research on antecedents of work engagement and the job demands-resources model.
