A multimodal analysis of personal negativity.

Abstract

This study examined how unhappiness and self-dissatisfaction are related to behavior, self-perception, social reputation, and the way one is treated by others. Varying in personal negativity (PN)-a composite of unhappiness, dissatisfaction with life, low self-esteem, and nonclinical depression-146 undergraduates (82 women and 64 men) engaged in 3 interactions. Participants' behavior and the behavior of their interaction partners was coded from videotapes. Personality ratings were obtained from participants and from 2 close acquaintances. PN was closely associated with maladaptive social interactions, negative behavioral responses by others, and a negative social reputation and self-image. Although women more clearly expressed PN behaviorally, men and women showed generally similar patterns of correlates. These results suggest that even subclinical levels of unhappiness and selfdissatisfaction may have important consequences. Low self-esteem, feelings that life is not satisfying or fulfilling, and general unhappiness may all be a far cry from fullblown clinical depression or anything like it (Coyne, 1994), but they can have negative implications for an individual's quality of life. Moreover, such feelings are far more common than diagnosable clinical depression, a serious and debilitating disorder. Traditionally, research on what has sometimes been called

Competencia emocional, satisfacción en contextos específicos y satisfacción con la vida en la adolescencia

También en la investigación de García-Aguilar, Viñals & Pérez-Escoda, (2016) se evidencia que un buen nivel de competencias emocionales se relaciona con menos dificultades cotidianas en la vida de los adolescentes.…”

“…Diferentes investigaciones muestran que la satisfacción con la vida está vinculada con la autoestima, el ajuste escolar, los perfiles motivacionales, los recursos de apoyo y el clima social (Cava & Musitu, 1999;Ferragut & Fierro, 2012;Furr & Funder, 1998;Huebner, 1991aHuebner, , 1991bLewinsohn et al, 1991;Martínez-Antón et al, 2007;McCullough, Huebner & Laughlin, 2000;Moreno-Murcia & Silveira, 2015;Pacheco & Fernández-Berrocal, 2004;Van Aken & Asendorpf, 1997;Ying & Fang-Biao, 2005).…”

Autoconcepto físico, percepción de salud y satisfacción vital en una muestra de adolescentes

“…Diener, Suh, Lucas y Smith (1999), en la línea de la variabilidad antes señalada, argumentan que la base de la satisfacción vital está en la percepción que tiene la persona de sí misma y del entorno en el que vive, por lo que elementos como las autopercepciones y rasgos de personalidad serán cruciales para determinarla. Las autoevaluaciones tienen un papel esencial en la percepción de la satisfacción vital, siendo el concepto que se tiene de sí mismo o la autoestima notables predictores de la misma (Furr y Funder, 1998;McCullough, Huebner y Laughlin, 2000;Ying y Fang-Biao, 2005).

In addition to these, individuals with lower life satisfaction are at risk for a variety of psychological and social problems such as maladaptive relationships with others [35]. Obviously, these theories have shown a negative correlation between life satisfaction and Workplace Ostracism.…”
