Predictive Relationship Between Dispositional Nostalgia and Identity Formation Among Emerging Adults
Nostalgia, a complex emotion rooted in the past, has been associated with positive psychological functions, including greater self-understanding and motivation. This study examined how dispositional nostalgia relates to identity formation in emerging adulthood, using the dual-cycle model that distinguishes subdimensions of exploration and commitment. Specifically, we conducted a short-term longitudinal study over a three-month period with 309 Jap…
Can persistence improve creativity? The effects of implicit beliefs about creativity on creative performance
Prior research suggests that people have implicit beliefs about creativity that are often incomplete and may not be consistent with current empirical evidence. We conducted four studies to examine whether recognizing the importance of persistence in creativity leads to better creative performance. First, in a pilot study, a questionnaire survey of 199 people showed that people value flexible but not persistent thinking in creativity. In Studies 1…
Mental Contrasting Strategies Promote the Pursuit of Difficult Goals
We examined whether mental contrasting inhibits the pursuit of difficult goals in an Eastern culture—Japan—rooted in self-improvement. Our pilot study found that, compared with American participants, Japanese participants did not perceive a difficult situation as a cue to abandon their goal and pursue alternative objectives. Studies 1a–1c found that mental contrasting encouraged Japanese participants to pursue difficult goals. When Japanese parti…
Beliefs About the Positive Functions of Sadness
Sadness involves adaptive functions such as eliciting help from others or analysing the causes of failure. It also has positive features such as empathy or the co‐occurrence of positive emotions. Previous studies have revealed that Asians are more likely than Westerners to perceive the utility of negative emotions. However, common people's beliefs about the positive functions of specific emotions, including sadness, remain unclear. This study aim…
Do momentary phenomena evoke mixed emotions
Previous studies have revealed that meaningful endings cause people to experience mixed emotions. Endings are ubiquitous in various facets of our lives and can be categorised into personally meaningful (e.g., a graduation ceremony) and less personally meaningful experiences (e.g., falling flowers). However, it is unclear whether less personally meaningful endings evoke mixed emotions similar to meaningful endings. We hypothesised that awareness o…
The Effect of Episodic Future Thinking on Learning Intention
We examined the effects of episodic future thinking related to achieving important learning goals on university students' learning intentions. Japanese university students ( N = 70) participated in this experiment. Participants in the episodic future thinking condition were asked to imagine and describe events they would experience if they achieved their goals. In the semantic future thinking condition, we asked participants to describe their fut…
Can Regulatory Fit Improve Elementary School Students’ Performance? Effects of Different Types of Regulatory Fit
Previous studies have demonstrated the effect of regulatory fit on Japanese elementary school students (aged 9-12 years). The hypotheses were that promotion focused students tend to show good performance related to speed when they use an eager manner; on the other hand, prevention focused students tend to show good performance related to accuracy when they use a vigilant manner. In Study 1, the class teacher assessed their student's regulatory fo…
