we are our Passions the role of identity processes in Harmonious and obsessive Passion and links to optimal functioning in society
Self and Identity, 2018Co-Authors: Nabil Bouizegarene, Sarah Bourdeau, Caroline Leduc, Annesophie Gousselessard, Nathalie Houlfort, Robert J. VallerandAbstract:AbstractThe Dualistic Model of Passion (DMP) proposes two types of Passion, namely Harmonious Passion and obsessive Passion. The DMP posits that the activity becomes part of one’s identity. However, little research assessed how the two types of Passion relate to identity. Two important facets of identity hypothesized to be associated with Passion are identity integration and identity styles. In two studies, we assessed these types of identity processes as determinants of Passion. We expected the presence of positive associations between on the one hand informational identity style, identity integration, and their interaction term and HP on the other, and positive associations between normative identity style and OP. Participants in both studies (N1 = 107 and N2 = 135) completed the Identity Style Inventory-3, the Identity Integration subscale of the Multidimensional Self-Esteem Inventory, and the Passion Scale. In addition, in Study 2 we also looked at the relationships between Passion and five indicators...

on the relation between self enhancement and life satisfaction the moderating role of Passion
Self and Identity, 2013Co-Authors: Marcandre K Lafreniere, Robert J. Vallerand, Constantine SedikidesAbstract:The dualistic model of Passion proposes two distinct types of Passion, obsessive and Harmonious, that predict less and more adaptive outcomes, respectively. Two studies tested the hypothesis that individuals with an obsessive Passion for an activity (being associated with an insecure sense of self) benefit more from self-enhancement in terms of life satisfaction. Study 1 (N = 119) showed that the more participants endorsed an obsessive Passion, the stronger the association was between self-enhancement within the activity and life satisfaction. Harmonious Passion was unrelated to this association. Study 2 (N = 318) replicated these findings with an experimental design. The results establish Passion as a moderator of the association between self-enhancement and life satisfaction.

On the role of Harmonious and obsessive romantic Passion in conflict behavior
Motivation and Emotion, 2013Co-Authors: Noémie Carbonneau, Robert J. VallerandAbstract:Using the dualistic model of Passion (Vallerand et al. in J Pers Soc Psychol 85:756–767, 2003), the present research examined the role of Harmonious and obsessive romantic Passion in individuals’ engagement in destructive behavior during conflict and in reparative behaviors following conflict with one’s partner. Results revealed that Harmonious and obsessive Passion were respectively negatively and positively related to engagement in destructive conflict behavior. In addition, Harmonious Passion was positively related to reparative behaviors following conflict while obsessive Passion was not significantly related to this outcome. Importantly, these results held whether data were obtained by asking participants to recall about how things typically happen when they experience conflict with their partner (Study 1) or whether diary data were averaged across days when conflict actually happened (Study 2). Results underscore the importance of distinguishing Harmonious from obsessive romantic Passion.

on Passion and moral behavior in achievement settings the mediating role of pride
Motivation and Emotion, 2013Co-Authors: Julien S Bureau, Robert J. Vallerand, Nikos Ntoumanis, Marcandre K LafreniereAbstract:The Dualistic Model of Passion (Vallerand et al. in J Person Soc Psychol 85:756–767, 2003) distinguishes two types of Passion: Harmonious Passion (HP) and obsessive Passion (OP) that predict adaptive and less adaptive outcomes, respectively. In the present research, we were interested in understanding the role of Passion in the adoption of moral behavior in achievement settings. It was predicted that the two facets of pride (authentic and hubristic; Tracy and Robins in J Person Soc Psychol, 92:506–525, 2007) would mediate the Passion-moral behavior relationship. Specifically, because people who are Passionate about a given activity are highly involved in it, it was postulated that they should typically do well and thus experience high levels of pride when engaged in the activity. However, it was also hypothesized that while both types of Passion should be conducive to authentic pride, only OP should lead to hubristic pride. Finally, in line with past research on pride (Carver et al. in J Res Person 44:698–703, 2010; Tracy et al. in Self Identity 8:196–213, 2009), only hubristic pride was expected to negatively predict moral behavior, while authentic pride was expected to positively predict moral behavior. Results of two studies conducted with paintball players (N = 163, Study 1) and athletes (N = 296, Study 2) supported the proposed model. Future research directions are discussed in light of the Dualistic Model of Passion.

The roles of autonomy support and Harmonious and obsessive Passions in educational persistence
Learning and Individual Differences, 2013Co-Authors: Arielle Bonneville-roussy, Robert J. Vallerand, Thérèse BouffardAbstract:Abstract This research aims at examining the role of autonomy support and Passion in the persistence of students involved in higher education. In academic settings, autonomy-supportive environments consider students as self-determined individuals who are capable of making choices. In contrast, controlling academic environments impose pressure on students without giving them a clear rationale for doing so. Because autonomy support facilitates the self-determined internalization of behavior, it is expected to be associated with a Harmonious Passion and with high persistence into the chosen field of study, whereas less autonomy-supportive environments are expected to relate to obsessive Passion and to hinder persistence. The results of two studies involving music students, using correlational and short longitudinal designs, mainly supported these hypotheses. The divergent impact of autonomy support and Passion in persistence is discussed.

promoting Harmonious work Passion among unmotivated employees a two nation investigation of the compensatory function of cooperative psychological climate
Journal of Vocational Behavior, 2018Co-Authors: Dejun Tony Kong, Chayhoon Lee, Phillippe Dubreuil, Jacques ForestAbstract:Abstract This research draws on self-determination theory to investigate (a) the role of cooperative psychological climate in promoting Harmonious work Passion among employees with low intrinsic motivation; and (b) the mediating role of Harmonious Passion in linking cooperative psychological climate to behavioral outcomes. We propose that cooperative psychological climate facilitates Harmonious Passion and, in particular, plays a compensatory role among employees with low intrinsic motivation. In turn, Harmonious Passion is expected to facilitate both task performance and interpersonal helping, thereby linking cooperative psychological climate to these employee behaviors. We test the model using data from employees and their supervisors across two countries (Singapore and Brazil) and find cross-national evidence that cooperative psychological climate compensates for low intrinsic motivation to predict Harmonious Passion. Harmonious Passion also positively predicts task performance and interpersonal helping, but only in the Brazilian sample. This research enriches the nomological network of Harmonious Passion, provides an alternative pathway to driving employee Passion when intrinsic motivation is lacking, and underscores the value of considering the joint roles of Passion predictors so as to reap the performance benefits of Harmonious work Passion.

from strengths use to work performance the role of Harmonious Passion subjective vitality and concentration
The Journal of Positive Psychology, 2014Co-Authors: Philippe Dubreuil, Jacques Forest, Francois CourcyAbstract:Research has shown that strengths use and development can foster individual performance and well-being at work. However, to date little is known about the underlying psychological processes that might be operating in this relation. The purpose of this study was first to confirm the strengths use to work performance association and, second, to assess theoretical models of strengths use by testing a path model from strengths use to work performance, through Harmonious Passion, subjective vitality, and concentration. This study was conducted on a sample of 404 French-speaking Canadian workers and structural equation modeling analyses were performed in order to test the proposed model. Results show an association between strengths use and work performance. Further, this relation is completely mediated by the proposed variables. Theoretical and applied implications are discussed.

Passion for work and emotional exhaustion the mediating role of rumination and recovery
Applied Psychology: Health and Well-being, 2012Co-Authors: Eric G Donahue, Robert J. Vallerand, Jacques Forest, Laurence Crevierbraud, Pierrenicolas Lemyre, Eliane BergeronAbstract:: The purpose of the present research is to present a model pertaining to the mediating roles of rumination and recovery experiences in the relationship between a Harmonious and an obsessive Passion (Vallerand et al., 2003) for work and workers' emotional exhaustion. Two populations were measured in the present research: namely elite coaches and nurses. Study 1's model posits that obsessive Passion positively predicts rumination about one's work when being physically away from work, while Harmonious Passion negatively predicts ruminative thoughts. In turn, rumination is expected to positively contribute to emotional exhaustion. The results of Study 1 were replicated in Study 2. In addition, in the model of Study 2, obsessive Passion was expected to undermine recovery experiences, while Harmonious Passion was expected to predict recovery experiences. In turn, recovery experiences were expected to protect workers from emotional exhaustion. Results of both studies provided support for the proposed model. The present findings demonstrate that Passion for work may lead to some adaptive and maladaptive psychological processes depending on the type of Passion that is prevalent.

Harmonious Passion as an explanation of the relation between signature strengths use and well being at work test of an intervention program
Human Relations, 2012Co-Authors: Jacques Forest, Geneviève A. Mageau, Laurence Crevierbraud, Eliane Bergeron, Philippe Dubreuil, Genevieve L LavigneAbstract:Using signature strengths at work has been shown to influence workers’ optimal functioning and well-being. However, little is known about the processes through which signature strengths lead to positive outcomes. The present research thus aimed at exploring the role of having a Harmonious Passion in the relation between using signature strengths and well-being. For this purpose, an intervention was developed where participants (n = 186) completed three activities aiming at developing their knowledge and use of their signature strengths at work. The results showed (1) that the intervention successfully increased participants’ use of their signature strengths, (2) that participants from the experimental group reported a higher use of their signature strengths at the end of the study than participants from the control group, and (3) that increases in the use of signature strengths reported by participants from the experimental group were related to increases in Harmonious Passion, which in turn led to higher...

work is my Passion the different affective behavioural and cognitive consequences of Harmonious and obsessive Passion toward work
Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences-revue Canadienne Des Sciences De L Administration, 2011Co-Authors: Jacques Forest, Geneviève A. Mageau, Claude Sarrazin, Estelle M MorinAbstract:This study applies the dualistic model of Passion (Vallerand et al., 2003) to the work setting and examines the relationships between Harmonious Passion (characterized by a strong but controllable desire to engage in an activity), obsessive Passion (characterized by an internal pressure to carry out an activity), and optimal functioning outcomes at work. Harmonious Passion associated positively with: mental health; three elements of fl ow (i.e., concentration, control, and autotelic experience); vitality, and affective commitment. These relationships were partly mediated by satisfaction of the basic psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness. In contrast, obsessive Passion directly and negatively predicted mental health and weakly but positively predicted autotelic experience. Theoretical and applied implications are discussed.

Ruminations and Flow: Why Do People with a More Harmonious Passion Experience Higher Well-Being?
Journal of Happiness Studies, 2012Co-Authors: Joëlle Carpentier, Geneviève A. Mageau, Robert J. VallerandAbstract:Research shows that Harmonious and obsessive Passion are positively and negatively linked to well-being respectively (e.g., Vallerand et al. in J Personal 75:505-534, 2007; Psychol Sport Exerc 9:373-392, 2008). The present study investigated the psychological mechanisms underlying the different impact of the two types of Passion on well-being. A theoretical model involving Passion, ruminations, flow experiences, and well-being was tested. Results showed that the more people have a Harmonious Passion, the more they tend to experience flow in their favorite activity, which in turn predicts higher well-being. Obsessive Passion did not seem to be systematically linked to flow in the favorite activity. In contrast, the more people have an obsessive Passion, the more they tend to ruminate about their Passionate activity while engaging in another activity, which did not seem to be systematically the case for people with a Harmonious Passion. These ruminations are negatively related to flow experiences in the other activity, which are positively associated with well-being. Flow and ruminations thus seem to contribute to the understanding of the link between Passion and well-being.

the role of self esteem contingencies in the distinction between obsessive and Harmonious Passion
European Journal of Social Psychology, 2011Co-Authors: Geneviève A. Mageau, Joëlle Carpentier, Robert J. VallerandAbstract:The Dualistic Model of Passion (Vallerand et al., 2003) shows that people can experience a Harmonious or an obsessive Passion toward an activity. Mageau and Vallerand (2007; Mageau et al., 2009) have argued that self-related processes, such as contingencies of self-worth, are central in the distinction between the two types of Passion. Specifically, it was proposed that people with an obsessive Passion rely more heavily on their Passionate activity to derive self-esteem than people with a Harmonious Passion such that they should experience self-esteem fluctuations as a function of their performances in their Passionate activity. This study tested this hypothesis. Using self-reports, results first showed that the more people have an obsessive Passion the more they report experiencing self-esteem fluctuations that covary with their performances in their Passionate activity. In contrast, people with a Harmonious Passion did not report experiencing more, or less, self-esteem fluctuations. Second, hierarchical linear modeling confirmed that, in a real-life setting, the more people report an obsessive Passion toward a card game, the greater is the impact of performance on their state self-esteem. Taken together, these findings suggest that obsessive, but not Harmonious, Passion triggers contingencies between people’s self-esteem and their Passionate activity.

on the development of Harmonious and obsessive Passion the role of autonomy support activity specialization and identification with the activity
Journal of Personality, 2009Co-Authors: Geneviève A. Mageau, Robert J. Vallerand, Thérèse Bouffard, Julie Charest, Sarahjeanne Salvy, Nathalie Lacaille, Richard KoestnerAbstract:Recent research (Vallerand et al., 2003) has supported the existence of two types of Passion for activities: a Harmonious and an obsessive Passion. The purpose of this investigation was to study the processes likely to lead to the development of Passion. Three studies using correlational and short-term longitudinal designs with varied populations ranging from beginners to experts reveal that identification with the activity, activity specialization, parents' activity valuation, and autonomy support predict the development of Passion. Furthermore, results show that children and teenagers whose environment supports their autonomy are more likely to develop a Harmonious Passion than an obsessive one. Conversely, children and teenagers who highly value activity specialization, who rely heavily on their activity for self-definition, and whose parents highly value the activity are more likely to develop an obsessive Passion.
