Predicted and Experienced Affective Responses to the Outcome of the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election
People typically have intense feelings about politics. Therefore, it was no surprise that the campaign and eventual election of Barack Obama were highly anticipated and emotionally charged events, making it and the emotion experienced afterward a useful situation in which to replicate prior research showing that people typically overestimate the intensity and duration of their future affective states. Consequently, it was expected that Obama supp…
Mutual Self-Enhancement in Japan and the United States
The authors address the debate on pancultural self-enhancement by suggesting that some Japanese enhance their self-worth by praising and receiving praise from others included in the self. The authors call this process "mutual self-enhancement" and validated a scale for its measurement in Japan and the United States. Mutual self-enhancement was positively correlated with including others in the self, relational self-construal, family support, and …

Cognitive tendencies of focusing on positive and negative information

In 3 studies (Ns = 250, 83, 236), an examination of differences in how individuals experience their emotions (meta-emotion traits of clarity, attention, and intensity) led to the identification of 4 distinct types (overwhelmed, hot, cerebral, and cool). When mood was manipulated, the types differed in how they initially reacted to the emotional situation, how they regulated their mood, and how they made judgments. In particular, one type of indiv…
Personality in Extreme Situations
Similarity of the Relations between Marital Status and Subjective Well-Being Across Cultures
In a sample of 59,169 persons in 42 nations, relations between marital status and subjective well-being were found to be very similar across the world. Although cultural variables were found to alter the size of certain relations between marital status and subjective well-being, the effect sizes were very small. Specifically, in terms of life satisfaction, the benefit of marriage over cohabitation was greater in collectivist than in individualist…
Underachievement among Spatially Gifted Students
High school students gifted in spatial ability were selected from a large national probability sample and compared to those gifted in mathematical ability. The groups were compared on multiple measures, including a range of cognitive tests, organizational participation, hobbies, extracurricular reading, coursework, study habits, grades, occupational and academic intentions, guidance received, and family/home environment. Results indicate that, re…
Culture, Parental Conflict, Parental Marital Status, and the Subjective Well-Being of Young Adults
We examined the association between parental marital status, marital conflict, and culture (individualism-collectivism, divorce rate), and the subjective well-being of young adults. Study I assessed 2,625 men and 4,118 women from 39 countries on 6 continents. Subjective well-being was negatively associated with marital conflict among offspring of never-divorced and remarried parents. The association of marital status and the subjective well-being…
