The Relationship

This research investigates the relationship between couples’ work-orientation incongruence—the degree to which romantic partners view the meaning of their own work differently—and their ability to succeed in making job transitions and experiencing satisfaction with the jobs they hold. We use a social information-processing approach to develop arguments that romantic partners serve as powerful social referents in the domain of work. By cueing social information regarding the salience and value of different aspects of work, partners with incongruent work orientations can complicate each other’s evaluation of their own jobs and the jobs they seek. In a longitudinal study of couples in which one partner is searching for work, we find that greater incongruence in couples’ calling orientations toward work relates to lower reemployment probability, a relationship that is mediated by an increased feeling of uncertainty about the future experienced by job seekers in such couples. Calling-orientation incongruence also relates to lower job satisfaction for employed partners over time. We contribute to the burgeoning literature on the role romantic partners play in shaping work outcomes by examining the effect of romantic partners’ perception of the meaning of work, offering empirical evidence of the ways in which romantic partners influence key work and organizational outcomes. Our research also contributes to the meaning of work literature by demonstrating how work-orientation incongruence at the dyadic level matters for individual work attitudes and success in making job transitions.

AbstractThe aim of this research is to examine the relationship between social intelligence and loneliness of academics in the workplace. This study involves 326 (149 female/177 male) academics employed in various universities in Turkey and North Cyprus. The age average of participants is 39.09 years. In this study, the Loneliness at Work Scale (LAWS) and Tromso Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS) have been utilized. The data were analyzed using multiple regression and Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient analysis techniques. The findings showed that social information processing, social skills, and social awareness, which are the sub-dimensions of social intelligence, positively explained 26% of social deprivation. Social skills and social awareness positively explained 13% of social companionship. The findings also showed that the social information processing sub-dimension did not meaningfully explain social companionship.

The Relationship

Empathy is essential for effective social interaction. People often express the belief that empathy is closely related to aggressive behavior, but empirical data has challenged this assumption. However, there is a lack of research that focuses on the role of empathy in the relationship between trait anger and aggressive behavior. The current research focuses on the roles that different components of empathy have performed in the combinations of trait anger-hostile cognition-aggressive behavior link and attempt to identify, with reference to Integrated Model of Emotion Processes and Cognition in Social Information Processing, at which step this may occur. Participants included 663 undergraduate students who completed self-report measures of Trait Anger Scale, Aggressive Behavior Questionnaire, the Interpersonal Reactivity Index, and the Reactive-Proactive Aggression Questionnaire. Results from correlation analysis show that there is no significant correlation between cognitive empathy and aggressive behavior ( r = −.06) but do however suggest a significant correlation between affective empathy and aggressive behavior ( r = −.19). Results from structural equation modeling reveal that different components of empathy perform different roles in relation to aggressive behavior. The moderated mediating model analysis results show that cognitive empathy played a moderating role in both the direct effect and the first stage of the mediating model of trait anger-hostile cognition-aggression behavior. The results of multiple mediation model analysis demonstrate that affective empathy only played a partial mediating role between hostile cognition and aggressive behavior. This study contributes to understanding of Social Information Processing Models (SIPMs) and provides insight into the relationship between empathy and aggressive behavior.

Peer Reports

The primary aim of this study was to assess the moderating role of emotion regulation in the relationship between some components of social information processing (hostile interpretation and anger) and aggressive behavior. The secondary aim was to assess whether emotion regulation, hostile interpretation, and anger account for gender differences in aggressive behavior. A total of 1,125 adolescents (627 girls) filled out the social information processing questionnaire to assess hostile interpretation, anger, and emotion regulation. Reactive and proactive aggressive behaviors were assessed by self- and peer reports. The results showed that adaptive regulation negatively predicted aggressive behavior and moderated the relationship between anger and reactive aggressive behavior. Boys’ higher scores for aggressive behavior were accounted for by their higher scores for anger and lower scores for emotion regulation. However, the strength of the relationships among variables was similar for both boys and girls. Findings of this study indicate the importance of emotion regulation as a target for aggressive behavior interventions.

The Relationship

This study investigate the relationship between social intelligence and organizational citizenship behaviour of Government Parastatals in Rivers State. Social Skill (SS) and Social Information Processing (SP) was used as dimensions of social intelligence as against the measures of organization citizenship behaviour which are altruism, sportsmanship, conscientiousness sportsmanship, courtesy and civic virtue. Two hypotheses were developed and tested within a population size of hundred (100) senior level employees that was conveniently selected from twenty (20) Government Parastatals in Rivers state. One hundred (100) of these employees were issued copies of questionnaires but only ninety-four (94) questionnaires were retuned and used for this study. The spearman rank correlation coefficient was used to test the hypotheses with the aid of the SPSS v20.0. Findings from the analysis showed that social skills has a moderate and positive relationship between social skills and the measures organization citizenship behaviour while social information processing showed a low but positive relationship with the measures of organization citizenship behaviour. The study therefore concludes that there is a significant relationship between social intelligence and measures of organization citizenship behaviour of Government Parastatals in Rivers State. Based on the conclusion, the study proffered relevant recommendations like providing management programs related to the development of social skills among others.

The Relationship

To examine if leaders' implicit followership theory can be transferred from the behavior level to the competence level, we used a social information processing perspective to investigate the effects of leaders' implicit followership prototypes on employee marketability. Participants were 331 employees of companies in China, who completed measures of their leaders' implicit followership prototypes, internal and external marketability, and psychological empowerment, and their leaders rated the employees' in-role performance. Results showed that leaders' implicit followership prototypes were positively correlated with employees' internal and external marketability, these 2 effect mechanisms were partly mediated by employees' psychological empowerment, and employees' in-role performance negatively moderated both the effects of leaders' implicit followership prototypes and the mediating effect of psychological empowerment in the relationship between leaders' implicit followership prototypes and employees' marketability. Our findings enrich research into implicit theories, marketability as an employee competence, and social information processing within the context of leadership, and have implications for management practice.

A laboratory experiment was designed to assess the moderating effects of self-monitoring and situational ambiguity on the social cues with work outcomes relationships proposed by the Social Information Processing Model. In this 2 × 2 × 2 model, social cues were predicted to influence performance, task perceptions, and job satisfaction for high self-monitors on ambiguous tasks. Data from 130 subjects indicated moderate support for the 3-way model but only on the measure of satisfaction.

The aim of our study was to explore the features of moral judgments in adolescents differing in the character of their psychological well-being in the context of informational socialization, where the efficiency of processing social information is of particular importance. Objectives of the study: identification of the types of psychological well-being based on the basic beliefs of adolescents; study of the relationship between the types of psychological well-being and features of moral judgments in adolescents; study of the relationship between the types of psychological well-being and the effectiveness of cognitive processing of social information by adolescents and the characteristics of their Internet behavior. The following techniques were used: the scale of basic beliefs (E.S. Kalmykova, M.A. Padun); the technique for measuring cognitive processing of social information (S.V. Molchanov, O.V. Almazova, N.N. Poskreysheva); the Internet Addiction Scale (Chen); the Justice — Care inventory (S.V. Molchanov).The sample consisted of 175 adolescents aged 13 to 18 years (M = 16.1; SD = 1.0).Three types of psychological well-being were identified: balanced (high level of psychological well-being), ego-centered and “fortunist”. The study revealed the differences in the level of moral judgments and in the efficiency of processing social information in favor of the balanced type of psychological well-being. The ego-centered type is characterized by low-level moral judgments, self-orientation and self-interest, low efficiency of social information processing, and pronounced symptoms of Internet addiction.

Twitter may be considered to be a decentralized social information processing platform whose users constantly receive their followees’ information feeds, which they may in turn dispatch to their followers. This decentralization is not devoid of hierarchy and heterogeneity, both in terms of activity and attention. In particular, we appraise the distribution of attention at the collective and individual level, which exhibits the existence of attentional constraints and focus effects. We observe that most users usually concentrate their attention on a limited core of peers and topics, and discuss the relationship between interactional and informational attention processes—all of which, we suggest, may be useful to refine influence models by enabling the consideration of differential attention likelihood depending on users, their activity levels, and peers’ positions.
