“…The first two categories of proposition should serve to test the basic assumptions represented in the model and proposed by Ellis (1977) -that is, self-statements mediate the relation between belief and emotional states. As discussed previously, the work in clinical psychology by Velten (1968), Rimm and Litvak (1969), and Harrell et al (1981) provides empirical support for this link. These propositions are included for examining this relationship within an organizational setting.…”

Self-leadership theory can be described as the 'process of influencing oneself as opposed to the influence of leaders over followers (Manz, 1983(Manz, , 1986. We focus on and develop a model for a particular aspect of self-leadershipthought self-leadership ~ emphasizing two primary elements, self-talk and mental imagery. The major thrust of this model is that employees can influence or lead themselves by utilizing specific cognitive strategies that focus on individual self-dialogue and mental imagery. It is proposed that constructive thought management through the effective application of cognitive strategies can lead to enhanced individual and organizational performance.

“…The Situational Self-Statement and Affective State Inventory (SSSASI). The SSSASI [32] presents respondents with five hypothetical irritating events and disappointing outcomes; each vignette is followed by five possible thoughts and five possible emotions the individual might experience following the vignette. Having read a vignette, the subject responds to five feeling statements (angry, anxious, suspicious, depressed, and hopeful) and five self-statements, indicating the level of agreement with each one.…”

Irrational beliefs play a central role in cognitive theory and therapy; they have been shown to be related to a variety of disorders such as depression and anxiety. Irrational beliefs, which can be assessed via clinical interviewing techniques, are frequently assessed by self-report measures, both clinically and for research purposes. Much of the research demonstrating the effect of irrational beliefs has utilized such measures. The present article reviews the empirical work on irrational beliefs assessment and identifies 25 scales and techniques. The measures are organized according to their theoretical affiliation (i.e., either the Ellis or Beck model), with the goal of providing investigators a source to identify the available tests, their shortcomings, and potential applications. The authors conclude with recommendations which would strengthen empirical cohesion and precision in the measurement of irrational beliefs

“…Conversely, rational beliefs (RBs) are defined as: (a) pragmatic, in that they help people to achieve their basic goals; (b) logical and non-absolutist; (c) reality-based, meaning they are consistent with reality; and/or (d) flexible. A large body of empirical evidence has demonstrated that IBs impact: (1) emotional problems including generalized anxiety (Jones, 1968); social anxiety, speech anxiety, and test anxiety (Goldfried & Sobocinski, 1975); risk for depression (Solomon, Arnow, Gotlib, & Wind, 2003); general psychiatric symptoms (Jones, 1968); assertiveness deficits (Alden, Safran, & Weideman, 1978); type A coronary-prone behavior pattern (Smith & Brehm, 1981); and (2) specific dysfunctional automatic thoughts (e.g., Harrell, Chambless, & Calhoun, 1981). Recent research on IBs continues to support strong relations between IBs and distress (Bernard, 1998;David, Schnur, & Belloiu, 2002;David, Ghinea, Macavei, & Kallay, 2005;Macavei, 2005;Malouff, Schutte, & McClelland, 1992;McDermutt, Haaga, & Bilek, 1997).…”

Response Expectancies and Irrational Beliefs Predict Exam-Related Distress

Individual differences in cognitive factors such as response expectancies and irrational beliefs (IBs) have been shown to contribute to variability in distress associated with stressful situations. However, their independent influence on distress when examined within the same study has not been established, nor has the potential of mediational relationships. The purpose of this study was to investigate the contribution of response expectancies and IBs (both general and exam-specific) to exam-related distress in a prospective study. Results revealed that both response expectancies and general IBs separately predicted exam-related distress (p's <.05; N = 105). Observed effects of general IBs were perfectly mediated by, and observed effects of exam-specific IBs were partially mediated by, response expectancies using the Baron and Kenny approach. These data support the view that cognitive factors contribute to psychological distress and are consistent with response expectancy and rational emotive behavior theories. The results suggest that interventions focused on response expectancies and IBs might be an effective means to reduce psychological distress associated with real life stressors such as exams. Future research is needed to determine whether this effect generalizes to other stressful situations.
