“…They showed that although the relationship between empathy and emotional exhaustion was mediated by negative mood induction, positive mood induction did not emerge as a statistically significant mediator. One of the reasons may be that it is a natural human tendency to maximize positive and minimize negative experience [59]. Thus, the regulation which takes the opposite direction may be particularly demanding or overloading.…”

Objectives: The present study was designed to examine the links between empathy, emotional labor (both surface and deep acting), and emotional exhaustion as well as determine if emotional labor mediates the relationship between empathy and emotional exhaustion in teachers. It was assumed that emotional labor can take two opposite directions (positive mood induction and negative mood induction). Thus, the additional aim of the study was to analyze the mediating role of mood regulation strategies in the relationship between empathy and emotional exhaustion. Materials and Methods: A sample of 168 teachers from Łódź and its surroundings completed a set of questionnaires: Emotional Labor Scale; Mood Regulation Scales, Maslach Burnout Inventory, and Empathic Sensitivity Scale. Results: The results provided mixed support for the hypotheses indicating that both types of emotional labor, negative mood induction and emotional exhaustion were positively intercorrelated. Moreover, deep acting was a significant mediator in the relationship between empathy and emotional exhaustion. The analyzed link was also mediated by negative mood induction, whereas positive mood induction did not emerge as a significant mediator. Conclusions: The study provided insight into the role of empathy and emotional labor in the development of teacher burnout. It also confirmed that deep acting and negative mood induction mediate the relationship between empathy and emotional exhaustion in teachers.

“…Tal como já foi referido, no nosso estudo, a avaliação passiva, revelou-se como preditora da qualidade de vida mental dos fumadores, corroborando assim, o que é mencionado na literatura. Os fumadores com humor deprimido são menos ativos na utilização de estratégias de coping (Kinnunen, Doherty, Militello & Garvey, 1996) e quando o fazem, tendem a adotar estratégias de evitamento, negação (avaliação passiva) e centradas na emoção, que, segundo Larsen (2000), são ineficazes para a regulação a longo prazo do humor. Relativamente aos abstinentes, concluímos que ter doença respiratória crónica, elevada morbilidade psicológica, bem como maior procura de apoio espiritual predizem pior qualidade de vida física.…”

ResumoEste estudo teve como objetivo avaliar qualidade de vida, morbilidade psicológica, dependência nicotínica e coping familiar em fumadores e abstinentes. 116 Life quality predictors in smokers and abstinents AbstractThis study aimed to evaluate quality of life, psychological morbidity, nicotine dependence and family coping in smokers and abstinents. 116 smokers and 117 abstinents, from both sexes, participated in the study. All participants answered the following instruments: Socio-Demographic; Medical Outcomes Study Short Form 36 (MOS SF-36); Depresion, Anxiety, Stress Scales (DASS); Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) and Family Crises-Oriented Personal Evaluation Scales (F-COPES). According to the results, in smokers who also have a partner who smokes, high nicotine dependence and psychological morbidity predict less physical quality of life. High psychological morbidity and passive assessment, predict less quality of life. As for abstinents, having chronic respiratory disease, high psychological morbidity and looking for spiritual support predicted poorer quality of physical life. Being female, having chronic respiratory disease and psychological morbidity predicted lower mental quality of life. Hereafter, intervention programs should include partners as well as psychological morbidity and coping strategies in order to increase quality of life.

“…Next to other functions, affective states are assumed to indicate discrepancies from desired outcomes, including for example, goals or affective states per se (Carver & Scheier, 1999;Larsen, 2000). The latter point has also been emphasized by the mood-behavior model (Gendolla, 2000), according to which behavior is partly guided by hedonic motives.…”

Across days, individuals experience varying levels of negative affect, control of attention, and motivation. We investigated whether this intraindividual variability was coupled with daily fluctuations in working memory (WM) performance. In 100 days, 101 younger individuals worked on a spatial N-back task and rated negative affect, control of attention, and motivation. Results showed that individuals differed in how reliably WM performance fluctuated across days, and that subjective experiences were primarily linked to performance accuracy. WM performance was lower on days with higher levels of negative affect, reduced control of attention, and reduced task-related motivation. Thus, variables that were found to predict WM in betweensubjects designs showed important relationships to WM at the within-person level. In addition, there was shared predictive variance among predictors of WM. Days with increased negative affect and reduced performance were also days with reduced control of attention and reduced motivation to work on tasks. These findings are in line with proposed mechanisms linking negative affect and cognitive performance.
