“…Research shows that the satisfaction of the basic psychological needs is allied with life satisfaction and well-being (e.g., Deci et al, 2001;. Further positive outcomes are self-control (Moller et al, 2006), less defensive responses in stressful situations (Yıldırım, 2021), self-esteem (Deci et al, 2001;Demirtaş et al, 2017), vitality (Bryan, 2014), meaning in life and positive affect (Tang et al, 2020), adaptive emotion regulation skills (Benita et al, 2020;Shalchi & Shahna, 2018), emotion regulation difficulties (Han & Lee, 2017), and forgiveness (Lawler-Row & Piferi, 2006;Yıldırım, 2016).…”

Though the concept of self-forgiveness has received much attention within the empirical literature lately, the explanations of the antecedents of the construct still remain limited. The purpose of the current study is to broaden the limits of self-forgiveness and to provide a better understanding regarding of the process. In this study, the relationship between basic psychological needs and self-forgiveness through the mediating role of emotion regulation difficulties was examined. The model provides a novel perspective for understanding self-forgiveness through the Self-Determination Theory. The sample consists of 451 university students (365 females and 86 males) between the ages 19 to 28 who completed questionnaires assessing tendencies of self-forgiveness, basic need satisfaction, and emotion regulation difficulties. Results indicate that emotion regulation difficulties partially mediate the relationship between basic need satisfaction and self-forgiveness. Consistent with our model, results reveal that as the satisfaction of the basic psychological needs increases, emotion regulation difficulties diminish, which results in an increase in self-forgiveness.

“…Nesta perspectiva, a autoestima global baseia-se não apenas na avaliação da qualidade dos seus constituintes, como o autoconceito, mas também na avaliação das qualidades que são importantes para o indivíduo (Yildirim, 2021). No contexto educativo, entende-se que, o desempenho dos estudantes é afetado por aspectos cognitivos, relacionais e, principalmente, pelos aspectos emocionais.…”

Introduction: People are generally characterized by a self-serving bias which describes the tendency to ascribe positive outcomes or success to internal or personal causes (self-enhancement motivation) and ascribe negative outcomes or failure to external or situational causes (self-protection motivation). It has been found that the individuals with internet gaming disorder (IGD) who have low selfesteem and high depression exhibit an attenuated self-serving bias. However, the relationships among self-esteem, depression and selfserving bias are not clearly identified. Methods: A sample of 138 IGD participants completed self-esteem and depression scales and a causal attribution task (Study 1) to examine the relationships among self-esteem, depression and self-serving bias (both self-enhancement and self-protection). In follow-up Study 2, 28 IGD participants were recruited to undertake self-affirmation intervention which can affirm one's sense of global self-view and bolster selfesteem to explore whether self-affirmation would trigger a reduction of depression and a raise of self-serving bias. Results:The results of path analysis in Study 1 showed that the self-serving bias was predicted by self-esteem and depression, and the depression played a mediating role between self-esteem and self-serving bias. The results of Study 2 showed that the IGD participants reported higher self-esteem, lower depression and engaged in more self-protection motivation after affirming-self manipulation as compared with affirming-other manipulation. Conclusion: These findings suggest that self-esteem predicts self-serving bias through depression and self-affirmation could trigger an increase of self-esteem, further decrease depression and improve self-serving bias for the individuals with IGD. The present article clearly identified the relationships among these factors and provided a new approach to promote positive self-concept in individuals with IGD. Future research is warranted to explore the lasting benefits of self-affirmation on domains of education, relationships and gaming withdrawal for the individuals with IGD among different populations.
