| Research Abstract |
The present study focused on three problems to examine the information processing of selfknowledge.
The first problem is how self is represented. As a fundamental research, the effects of priming on face recoginition were examined. Next, the relations of mood and self-focus were examined to clarify self-representation among depressive persons. Results showed that negative mood was maintained under high self-focus condition.
The second problem is how styles to gather information about self are taken in relation to self-representations. First, the relations of various self-representatios and information gathering behaviors were examined. The results showed that discrepancy between real self and ideal self and relative position of future can self were important factors. Next, the relation of depression and information-gathering about self was examined. The results indicated that depressive persons took the information-gathering behavior which would reproduce depression.
The third problem is what influences affect-nodes within self-representation have on social judgments and social behavior. The effects of negative mood which was resulted from failure experiences on cognitions of instrumentality of helping behavior and intentions to help were examined. The results showed that cognitions of instrumentality of helping behavior and intentions to help were increased regardless of anonimity if helping situations were the same as failure situations.
We discussed structures, formations, and maitanances of self-representations in terms of affect.
