| description |
Japanese, Euro-Canadian, and Mexican university students listed their personal goals and
completed questionnaires on their psychological well-being, health, and interpersonal relationship
status at Time 1 (the beginning of the semester) and at Time 2 (the end of the semester). The
relationships between the kinds of goals they listed (i.e., approach or avoidance) and their
well-being, health, and interpersonal relationship status were assessed to investigate the
moderating role of culture among these relationships. The regression analyses revealed marginal
and significant interaction effects of culture and avoidance goals on psychological well-being,
health, and interpersonal relationship outcomes at Time 2. The results offer support for the
hypothesis: Compared with Canadians, Mexicans, and especially Japanese are less likely to
experience adverse effects in the areas of well-being, health, and interpersonal relationship
associated with avoidance goals. === Arts, Faculty of === Psychology, Department of === Graduate |
