"It's Part Of My Responsibility To Help" : Developing A Measure Of Motivations For Extrinsic Emotion Regulation, Sara Cloonan
"It's Part Of My Responsibility To Help" : Developing A Measure Of Motivations For Extrinsic Emotion Regulation, Sara Cloonan
Honors Theses
Previous research in the field of emotion regulation has largely focused on the ways in which we regulate our own emotions, but not as much work has been done to examine the processes by which we regulate the emotions of others. The current research aims to develop a measure of motivations for engaging in extrinsic emotion regulation (EER), with a focus on why we attempt to down-regulate negative emotional experiences of those around us. Study 1 used narrative responses to formulate and validate a qualitative coding schema for categorizing motives for engaging in EER. The wide variety of EER motivations …
Motivation To Lead : Investigating The Power Of The Mtl Equation, Elizabeth Robinson
Motivation To Lead : Investigating The Power Of The Mtl Equation, Elizabeth Robinson
Honors Theses
Recent research has investigated a measurable way to determine an individual's motivation to lead in social situations by looking at specific aspects of an individual that make up his/her leadership ability and experience. The MTL (Motivation to Lead) construct is referred to as an individual differences construct that measures a person's motivation to acquire a leadership position based on specific personality traits and values (Chan & Drasgow, 2002). Chan and Drasgow's findings suggest that specific antecedents have calculable correlations to the three types of motivation to lead: Affective/Identity MTL, Non-Calculative MTL, and Social-Normative MTL. For example, Chan and Drasgow reported …
The Effect Of Drive Level On Performing A Complex Task, Patricia C. Lucky
The Effect Of Drive Level On Performing A Complex Task, Patricia C. Lucky
Master's Theses
Buchwald and Yamaguchi (1955) used a reversal learning situation to test the hypothesis that increasing drive will impair performance when the strength of the correct response is relatively weak. Thirty-six rats on 1 1/2 and 20 1/2 hours water deprivation were trained in a single unit T maze with 4 trials per day. The Ss were randomly assigned to 4 groups: high-high, high-low, low-low, and low-high, "low" and "high" referring to drive level for origin l and reversal learning. When a criterion of 10 correct runs out of 12 was reached, they were trained to reverse the direction of the …
The Effect Of Manifest Anxiety And Failure Instructions On Delinquents' Performance On The W.I.S.C. Coding Test, Herbert J. Cross
The Effect Of Manifest Anxiety And Failure Instructions On Delinquents' Performance On The W.I.S.C. Coding Test, Herbert J. Cross
Master's Theses
It is generally accepted by most researchers that motivational factors are important in the prediction of behavior. The nature of the relationship between those factors and behavior is not well understood but appear to depend at least on such variables as effect the difficulty of the behavioral task and the degree of the motivation involved.
