“…Support from friends’ scores were positively associated with SOC-13 scores in men, and support from family scores were positively associated with SOC-13 scores in women in Kase et al’s study 41. Furthermore, women are known to seek more emotional support than men in anger, sadness, or joy episodes 47. These results are consistent with the present findings.…”

PurposeRecent studies have shown that perceived social support is associated with gratitude and sense of coherence, but evidence for this concept remains scarce. In the present study, we investigated relationships between social support, gratitude, and sense of coherence, focusing on the construct of and source of social support among young women.MethodsThe study was conducted in 2014 in Japan. Participants comprised 208 female university students (aged 19.9 ± 1.1 years), who completed a self-administered anonymous questionnaire regarding perceived social support, gratitude, and sense of coherence.ResultsEmotional and instrumental social support from acquaintances were found to be lower than those from family and friends. Gratitude was positively correlated with all forms of social support except instrumental social support from acquaintances. However, sense of coherence was positively correlated with both emotional and instrumental social support from family and only emotional social support from acquaintances. Multiple regression analysis showed that emotional support from family and emotional support from acquaintances were positively associated with gratitude whereas emotional support from family was associated with sense of coherence.ConclusionThese results indicate that emotional social support from family was related to both gratitude and sense of coherence.

“…Several of the current findings differ from those of previous studies. Although those in the community control group used suppression less frequently to regulate anger than did the outpatient group, both groups were more likely to use suppression to mask their anger than were the participants in similar studies conducted in the West using the same questionnaire ( Gross and John, 2003 ; Joormann and Gotlib, 2010 ; Paez et al., 2013 ). Tamir and Ford (2012) found that the appropriate expression of anger can be of help in reaching goals and in psychological adaptation.…”

Background The capacity to regulate emotion is important for individuals' ability to adapt to society, the long-term lack of which can lead to related emotional disorders. However, evaluating whether an emotion-regulation strategy is appropriate requires consideration of the individual's distinct culture and situation. In this study, we compared the anger regulation strategies employed in various interpersonal situations by psychiatric outpatients and a community control group in Taiwan. Methods We surveyed 150 psychiatric outpatients (mean age = 45.30, SD = 12.48, 73.3% female) and 150 community controls (mean age = 45.05, SD = 12.24, 73.3% female) congruent in age and sex. Participants evaluated their emotion regulation in two interpersonal contexts by completing a set of questionnaires related to a recent incident of anger they experienced with family and friends, respectively. Results Outpatients used the emotion-regulation strategies of cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression equally in various relationships; while the community control group made more use of cognitive reappraisal to regulate anger, which arose in their relationships with both family and friends. Relationship intimacy influenced the strategy adopted, and the community control group was more likely to use suppression to regulate anger towards friends than family members, which reflected a cultural belief—maintaining harmony in social relationships. Limitations Context-specific emotion regulation was assessed via a retrospective self-report measure, which is subject to recall bias. Conclusions Our findings highlight the importance of considering interpersonal contexts when studying emotion regulation and developing psychological interventions that target anger or other negative emotion regulation.

Resumen: Se examinan en un estudio experimental los efectos de la inducción de afectividad positiva en la creatividad y la importancia de las emociones como variables mediadoras. Se indujo alta y baja afectividad positiva pidiendo a las personas participantes que redactaran tres poemas haikus sobre dos estímulos de connotación positiva, alta (N = 28) y baja (N = 28). Las personas escribieron sobre su experiencia de enamoramiento más intenso y contestaron una escala sobre las emociones sentidas al redactar el texto, una medida de crecimiento personal y una tercera referida a la obtención de metas adaptativas después del episodio. En la condición de alta afectividad positiva se informó de más emociones positivas y menos negativas al narrar la experiencia, un mayor crecimiento personal y un mayor ajuste. Jueces independientes evaluaron como más originales el último poema y la narración de la experiencia en la condición de alta afectividad positiva. Un análisis mediacional mostró que las emociones positivas explicaban la influencia de la manipulación sobre el crecimiento personal y el ajuste percibido. Palabras clave: Afectividad positiva; ajuste percibido; análisis mediacional; creatividad; crecimiento post-estrés.Title: Induced affect impact on creativity, post change personal growth and perceived adjustment after narrating an intense emotional experience. Abstract: An experimental study contrast the effects of inducing positive affect on creativity and the mediational role of positive emotions. High and low positive affect was induced by asking subjects to write three poems Haikus about high (N = 28) and low positive connotation stimuli (N = 28). Then people wrote about their more intense infatuation experience and answered a scale on the emotions felt when writing the text, a measure of personal growth or benefits, and a measure of achievement of adaptive goals after the episode. In high positive affect condition was reported more positive and less negative emotions in recounting the experience, more personal growth and a better adjustment. Last poem and narration of experience were evaluated as more original in high positive condition by independent judges. A mediational analysis showed that positive emotions explain partially the influence of the manipulation on personal growth and perceived adjustment. Key words: Positive affect; perceived adjustment; meditational analysis; creativity; post stress growth."It sounded an excellent plan, no doubt, and very neatly and simply arranged. The only difficulty was, she had not the smallest idea how to set about it." Lewis Carrol, of Alice in Alice in Wonderland IntroducciónLa creatividad es un aspecto fundamental de la cognición y de la conducta humana. Aunque no hay un consenso absoluto sobre lo que significa este constructo, hay quienes plantean que es una manera de hacer frente a los desafíos de la vida, diferente de la inteligencia, pero relacionada con ella (Artola et al., 2012; Mirowsky y Ross, 2007). Creatividad en términos de tres p: persona, proceso y producto...
