Self-Awareness Part 1: Definition, Measures, Effects, Functions, and Antecedents (2011, background): “Excessive ruminative self-focus creates worry, guilt, shame, jealousy, insomnia, etc. (Leary, 2004), and may contribute to social anxiety (Buss, 1980) and depression (Mor & Winquist, 2002).”
Self-Reported Mindfulness Mediates the Relation Between Meditation Experience and Psychological Well-Being (2011, result): “These results are probably related to the fact that high levels of self-observation can mean different things in different contexts; for example, self-focused attention has been associated with negative affect, anxiety, and depressive symptoms in earlier research, indicating that increased attention”
Development and Validation of the Japanese Version of the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (2011, background): “A relationship between self-focused attention and increased negative affect has been repeatedly demonstrated (Mor and Winquist 2002).”
Comorbidity: A network perspective (2010, background): “…and affective components as well; empirical evidence documents numerous functional relations, such as the influence of selfconsciousness on emotion (Mor & Winquist 2002), self-efficacy perceptions on motivation (Bandura 1997), knowledge structures on self-appraisals (Cervone et al. 2008), and mood…”
Why Is Nature Beneficial? (2009, background): “…egocentric goals,” whereas public self-awareness “pertains to aspects of behavior in which the needs, desires, or reactions of others . . . are taken into account” and to a state where people “consider the impact that an action may have on others’impressions of (them)selves” (Mor & Winquest, 2002).”
The watching eyes phenomenon: The role of a sense of being seen and public self‐awareness (2015, background): “These findings suggest that (social) anxiety and its corresponding avoidance system (Mor & Winquist, 2002) may contribute to an explanation of the watching eye phenomenon.”
Dispositional Optimism and the Emergence of Social Network Diversity (2012, background): “In contrast, negative moods diminish social competence by exaggerating and reinforcing self-focus (Mor and Winquist 2002).”
The Disruptive Effect of Self-Objectification on Performance (2006, background): “…documented that when the self becomes an object of attention, either through prolonged rumination or self-objectification, people may be more inclined to experience negative affect, selfconsciousness, social anxiety, and poorer decision making (see Mor & Winquist, 2002; Wilson, 2002, for reviews).”
A social mindfulness approach to understanding experienced customer mistreatment: A within-person field experiment (2017, background): “Research has robustly reported that negative affect leads to ruminative self-focused attention (e.g., Mor & Winquist, 2002; Smith & Alloy, 2009) and that rumination is a maladaptive outcome of customer mistreatment (Baranik, Wang, Gong, & Shi, 2017; Wang et al., 2013).”
Building better work places through individual perspective taking: A fresh look at a fundamental human process (2008, background): “A recent meta analysis showed that individuals experiencing negative affect (depression, anxiety, negative mood) are more self-focused (Mor & Winquist, 2002), which suggests more cognitive resources will be required to put aside one’s own view point.”
Emotion regulation and psychopathology: the role of gender. (2012, background): “…defined as a perseverative focus on one's negative emotions and the causes and consequences of them, without engaging in problem-solving, prospectively predicts symptoms and diagnoses of major depression (see meta-analyses by Aldao et al. 2010, Mor & Winquist 2002, Rood et al. 2009, Watkins 2008).”
Emotion-regulation strategies across psychopathology: A meta-analytic review. (2010, background): “Extensive reviews and meta-analyses of experimental manipulations of rumination on depression or anxiety are provided by Mor and Winquist (2002) and Watkins (2008).”
