The Social Relations Model (SRM), which has been an important tool for personality researchers, presumes the variabilities in the SRM components, perceiver, target, and relationship effects, are consistent across perceivers and targets. We introduce the extended SRM (eSRM) to examine individual differences in the variances of each component of the SRM. We explore the tendency for perceivers to see targets in different ways, Dissimilation, and the tendency for targets to be viewed in different ways, Dissensus. Furthermore, slopes are used to tap the extent to which perceivers agree with other perceivers, Sensitivity, and the extent to which target judgments depend on how perceivers generally see others, Prototypicality. Moreover, the correlation of a perceiver’s judgments with how the target is generally viewed measures Accuracy, and the correlation of judgments of a target with how the perceiver generally views others measures Amplification. Standard deviations assess how a perceiver uniquely views targets, Differentiation, and how a target is uniquely viewed by perceivers, Volatility. A study illustrates the utility of these elements to understand response styles, the accuracy of judgment, and the meaning of SRM effects. The eSRM is discussed in relation to Funder’s Realistic Accuracy Model and Biesanz’s Social Accuracy Model.
We examined how the experience of retaking the college entrance examination (RCEE), along with levels of resilience and social support, affect individuals' experience of life change at university, their satisfaction with university life, and how meaningful they perceived their lives to be. We analyzed survey data from 524 university students in Korea (204 men and 320 women; 203 students with RCEE experience and 321 students with no RCEE experience). Results showed that students with RCEE experience underwent a positive life change, and that resilience and good social support led to a synergistic effect of the RCEE experience on the change. Furthermore, the RCEE experience, being resilient, and having a high level of social support resulted in those students having an increase in satisfaction with, and finding greater meaning in, university life. These results are discussed in terms of growth following adversity.
Backgound: The purpose of research is to identify the factors that influence Social Network Service (SNS) fatigue and usage satisfaction within hyperconnective society. Methods: In study 1, a survey was carried out to 365 participants over the age of 20 to access their level of SNS fatigue. In study 2, 69 participants over the age of 20 are asked to complete an online diary for 7 days. Measuring criteria consisted of personality, loneliness, self-concept, social comparison, conversation topics, satisfaction from SNS conversation, positive and negative emotions. Results: In study 1, women compared to men and participants in their 30s rather than in their 20s indicated significantly higher level of SNS fatigue. Also, personality characteristics such as high neuroticism, low agreeableness, deprivation in self-concept, and frequent comparison with others indicated higher level SNS fatigue. In study 2, Communication topics such as casual inquiries, idle talk, information sharing increased the degree satisfaction; however, counseling and work related issue did not show any significant correlations. Also, a group recorded highest positive emotion on the online diary reported to have higher number of intimate off-line interpersonal relationships and significantly higher satisfaction with them. Conclusions: This suggests that the degree of SNS fatigue and other psychological status are influenced not by its degree of usage but by individual's personal characteristics, communication topics, and off-line interpersonal interaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
