자기차이와 조절초점 = Self-discrepancy and Regulation Focus

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this paper was to review of self-discrepancy theory and regulation focus theory. The self-discrepancy theory hypotheses that the types and magnitude of self-discrepancy influence upon the kinds and intensity of negative emotions. The hypotheses of this theory were supported by some investigators and were not supported by other investigators. Therefore, this theory was criticized about the deficiency of specific conditions that the hypotheses of this theory are supported. The regulation focus theory was developed from some critics about self-discrepancy theory. The regulation focus theory assumes that regulation focuses are influenced by needs or self-guides of individuals and the motivation, emotion and behavior strategies are influenced by regulation focuses. Through the regulation focus theory, we can get better understanding about self and emotion processes. However, it was suggested the need for modification about the assumptions of the same sequences of motivation, emotion and behavior strategies in regulation focus theory.
