Longitudinal Relations Between Identity Development and Materialism Among Korean College Freshmen
College freshmen are in a transitional phase, exploring options and making key decisions that shape their identity and values. While identity development and materialism may influence one another during this period, research examining the temporal relations between these constructs remains limited. To address this gap, the present study explored longitudinal associations between identity development and materialism among first-year Korean college…
From career choice motivation to work-related outcomes via value congruence and identity fusion
In the present study, we examined the longitudinal relationship between motivation for choosing a police career and subsequent work engagement and emotional exhaustion, focusing on the sequential mediating roles of value congruence and identity fusion. Participants were 194 new police officers in South Korea who completed online surveys at two time points. At Time 1 (within one month of entering the police academy), participants reported their ca…
A Longitudinal Study of the Relationship between Identity Development Processes and Self-Esteem among Korean College Freshmen
Who Do We Turn to and What Do We Get? Cultural Differences in Attachment Structure and Function Among East Asian and Western Individuals
To whom do we turn for support in times of need, and what does the support from close others convey? The present research investigated how the structure and function of attachment differ for individuals in East Asian and Western cultures. In three studies, using survey and daily diary data, we examined the role of the romantic partner as an attachment figure, and the consequences of receiving responsive support in close relationships among indivi…

Assessing identity formation via narratives
Incremental validity of narrative identity in predicting psychological well-being
The goal of the present study was to replicate and extend previous research that demonstrated the incremental validity of narrative identity in predicting psychological well-being among Korean adults. We recruited 147 Korean adults living in South Korea who completed a battery of questionnaires that assessed the Big Five traits, extrinsic value orientation, self-concept clarity, and psychological well-being. Participants then wrote a story about …
Quality of alternatives positively associated with interest in opening up a relationship
We use the Investment Model framework to examine what relationship features are associated with interest in and positive evaluations of consensual non-monogamy (CNM) among individuals in monogamous relationships. In data sets from the United States (Study 1), Europe (Study 2), and Korea (Study 3; total N = 886), perceptions of higher-quality alternatives were consistently associated with more interest in CNM. Further, consistent with previous wor…
Student characteristics and learning and teaching factors predicting affective and motivational outcomes in flipped college classrooms
The flipped classroom has become a popular pedagogical approach in higher education with its capability to promote students’ active engagement in higher-order tasks; nevertheless, studies have shown that the flipped classroom is not always successful. The purpose of this study was to investigate factors including student characteristics as well as learning and teaching factors that influence students’ affective and motivational outcomes in flippe…
A socioecological perspective to understanding mental and physical health
People's mindsets and goals regarding social relationships affect their relationship quality and psychological well-being. We employed multiple group path modeling to examine how perceived relational mobility affects mental and physical health through relationship mindsets (destiny and growth mindsets) and relationship goals (approach and avoidance goals) across countries, surveying community adults in the U.S. ( n = 206; Mage = 39.14; 48% female…
A comparison of self-complexity in the United States and South Korea
Self-complexity, a measure of self-concept structure consisting of number of self-aspects and relatedness of self-aspects, was compared in the United States and South Korea. University students in each country completed measures of self-complexity and self-construal. In two studies, participants from South Korea had more self-aspects and overall self-complexity (as measured by H) than participants from the United States. Self-construal was not re…
Narcissism and Other‐Derogation in the Absence of Ego Threat
The relation between narcissism and other‐derogation has been examined primarily in the context of ego threat. In three studies, we investigated whether narcissistic individuals derogate others in the absence of ego threat. In Study 1, 79 judges watched four videotaped dyadic interactions and rated the personality of the same four people. In Study 2, 66 judges rated the personality of a friend. In Study 3, 72 judges considered the average Northea…
How are non-geography majors motivated in a large introductory world geography course
University students who do not declare geography as their major are at risk of poor motivation to learn in an introductory geography class. However, research exploring the role of non-majors' motivation is lacking. This study examines motivational factors impacting non-geography students' engagement and performance. The findings suggest that non-geography majors demonstrate deep engagement when they focus on mastering the content and value geogra…
Narcissism and Discrepancy Between Self and Friends' Perceptions of P ersonality
Most research on narcissism and person perception has used strangers as perceivers. However, research has demonstrated that strangers' ratings are influenced by narcissists' stylish appearance ( B ack, S chmukle, & E gloff, 2010). In the present study, we recruited participants and their close friends, individuals whose close relationship should immunize them to participants' superficial appearance cues. We investigated the relation between narci…
