Researchers hypothesized that psychological intervention such as expressive writing would reduce burnout, mental health syndromes and psychosomatic symptoms. Furthermore, after the psychological intervention, researchers predict that people might change their implicit cultural perception of burnout. Researchers will also conduct exploratory research on how psychological intervention will change the conflict management strategies that people will opt for under burnout. Under a burnout situation, people will have lower mental resources, so they will use obliging or avoiding conflict management strategies. Multiculturalism, Social Judgments and Decisions Supervisor: CHAO Melody Man Chi / MGMT Student: KIM Hayeon / CEGBM Course: UROP3100, Summer In modern society, deterioration of mental health is becoming a serious problem because related symptoms including depression, anxiety, stress, and burnout bring upon worsened health conditions and greatly hinder daily activities. However, due to social stigma and high costs, many avoid going to a clinic or even just going for counseling. Therefore, there is ongoing research on finding the most practical, affordable yet effective way to maintain good mental health. Therapeutic writing intervention in particular has grabbed an attention of the researchers as it is an easy intervention where writers can experience catharsis through freely writing about what has been bothering them. Due to a simple instruction and nothing more than writing honestly about what they are feeling, the writing intervention has a potential to serve as an easily accessible, time-efficient and cost-effective therapeutic method. This UROP project investigates the effectiveness of such writing intervention and explore whether it is affected by individual characteristics.
