    Subjects: Psychology >> Social Psychology submitted time 2021-12-07

    Abstract: From three perspectives (target, source, and observer) and three-time points (before, during, and after the occurrence of ostracism), a series of questions about whether, when, and how mindfulness can play a role in ostracism were analyzed in detail and summarized as a model relating mindfulness and ostracism. The model demonstrates that before ostracism occurs, mindfulness may alleviate rejection sensitivity and reduce rejection behaviors. After ostracism occurs, mindfulness may alleviate pain and contribute to the helping behavior of observers. When ostracism occurs, mindfulness may promote good communication and reduce the likelihood of ostracism deterioration. More empirical research is needed to explore the mechanisms and the boundary conditions of the benefits of mindfulness on ostracism.

    Abstract:以两个实验考察愤怒情绪对恶意创造力表现的影响及作用路径,并探究调节愤怒情绪对削弱恶意创造力表现的效应。实验1比较愤怒、悲伤、中性情绪下个体恶意创造力表现的差异,发现愤怒情绪下个体生成更多、更新颖的恶意观点,情绪唤醒度和内隐攻击性中介了愤怒对恶意创造力表现的影响。实验2探究不同情绪调节策略(认知重评、表达抑制)如何影响愤怒个体的恶意创造力表现,发现认知重评组和表达抑制组的恶意创造力表现比无策略的控制组水平更低,情绪唤醒度和内隐攻击性中介了两种情绪调节策略对个体恶意创造力表现的影响。上述结果表明,愤怒情绪通过提升内隐攻击性和情绪唤醒度进而促进个体恶意创造力表现,而认知重评和表达抑制策略可作为削弱愤怒个体的恶意创造力表现的有效策略。
