“…Promotion focus strategies might act as resources, potentially providing additional resources to cope with threats. Moreover, other results have indicated that there is an intimate relationship between regulatory focus and health outcomes . Overall, our results are consistent with previous studies, which revealed that the regulatory focus affected burnout, in that our study showed that the type of regulatory focus can directly reduce burnout and can indirectly reduce burnout by transformational leadership.…”

This correlation study investigated the relationship between nurses' regulatory focus and burnout, as mediated by their perceptions of transformational leadership, using a cross-sectional research design with anonymous questionnaires. In July-August 2012, data were collected from 378 nurses from three hospitals in Shaanxi Province, China, using self-report questionnaires for measuring the nurses' regulatory focus, their level of burnout and their perception of whether the leadership of their supervisor was transformational. Structural equation modelling and bootstrapping procedures were used to identify the mediating effect of their perceptions of transformational leadership. The results supported our hypothesized model. The type of regulatory focus emerged as a significant predictor of burnout. Having a perception of transformational leadership partially mediated the relationship between regulatory focus and burnout. Having a promotion focus reduced burnout when the participants perceived transformational leadership, whereas having a prevention focus exhibited the opposite pattern. The mediating effect of the perception of transformational leadership suggests that a promotion focus may help diminish burnout, directly and indirectly. Nurse managers must be aware of the role of a regulatory focus and cultivate promotion focus in their followers.

“…One suggestion from research is that, when individuals are socially integrated into their social surroundings, the negative effects of, for instance, a terrorist attack are buffered (Schwarzer, Bowler, & Cone, ) and could help individuals to cope with their negative reaction. Similar results for social support in other domains are demonstrated in other research (e.g., in the health domain: Schokker, Links, Luttik & Hagedoorn, ). Another suggestion is that finding meaning as a result of the experience of a negative event helps to reduce stress levels and fears of future events (Updegraff, Silver, & Holman, ), as it may encourage constructive ways to cope with the negative event.…”

The online encyclopedia Wikipedia has established strict guidelines for the objectivity of content. At the same time, Wikipedia includes articles on negative events, such as disasters or man‐made attacks. These events can elicit strong emotions, which in turn may spill over into Wikipedia articles. Previous research has shown that Wikipedia articles on man‐made attacks contain more anger‐related content than Wikipedia articles on disasters. Building on these findings, we aimed to investigate whether the threat that Wikipedia authors experience when they learn of an attack is relevant as a factor in explaining the anger effect. Threat is known to elicit active and engaged reactions, such as anger, which is why it is a likely explaining factor. Our research also aimed to replicate the findings from the linguistic analysis of the Wikipedia articles using controlled scenario‐based laboratory experiments. Three studies demonstrated that man‐made attacks (terrorist attack, shooting rampage) elicited more threat, more anger, and more expressions of anger‐related content in Wikipedia texts than nature‐made disasters (earthquake, flood) and man‐made disasters (train accident). Moreover, threat was relevant as a factor in explaining the effects on anger and anger‐related content in the Wikipedia texts. These mediations could be explained by the perceived intentionality of the event. This research highlights the findings that perceived intentionality and threat are relevant mediating factors for feelings and expressions of anger after man‐made attacks.

“…The negative link that was found between prevention regulatory fit and exhaustion is in the same line with research linking individual prevention focus with emotional exhaustion (Brenninkmeijer et al, 2010) or anxious attachment (Moss, 2009) in employees and distress in chronic patients (Schokker, Links, Luttik, & Hagedoorn, 2010). By experiencing misfit more profoundly, prevention-focused individuals are likely to develop adverse health reactions that are typical for prevention failure (Klenk et al, 2011).…”

The association between regulatory focus and distress in patients with a chronic disease: The moderating role of partner support

Abstract: Active engagement appears to buffer against high distress in patients with a weak promotion focus, while protective buffering and overprotection appear to aggravate distress in these patients.
