A Study on the Interpersonal Emotion Management Strategies of Adventist Pastors

This is a cross-sectional descriptive study to examine and compare interpersonal emotion management strategies of Adventist pastors using Interpersonal Emotion Management Strategies Scale developed by Little et al. The study was conducted by collecting questionaires from 106 pastors who work in capital city area and Gangwondo. The result shows that there were no significant differences according to pastors’ positions (ordination) in situation adjustment, attention rearrangement, and cognitive change out of the sub-factors of the Scale. But in the control of emotional reaction the non- ordained pastors are higher than the ordained pastors. In case of pastoral experiences around ten yeras there were no differences in emotional response control. But in situation adjustment, attention rearrangement, and cognitive change, pastors who have over 10 years of pastoral experience represent higher levels than those who have under 10 years of experience. This result will be used as a significant baseline data to develop human resource management programs for pastors.
