Abstract
The extended process model of emotion regulation provides a framework for understanding how emotional experiences and emotion regulation (ER) mutually influence each other over time. To investigate this reciprocal relationship, 202 adults completed a ten-day experience-sampling survey capturing levels of negative affect (NA) experience and use of ten ER strategies in daily life. Residual dynamic structural equation models (DSEMs) were used to examine within-person cross-lagged and autoregressive effects of NA and ER (strategy use and between-strategy variability). Results showed that NA predicted lower between-strategy variability, lower subsequent use of acceptance and problem-solving, but higher subsequent use of rumination and worry. Moreover, reappraisal and between-strategy variability predicted lower subsequent NA levels, while expressive suppression and worry predicted higher subsequent NA levels. Stable autoregressive effects were found for NA and for maladaptive ER strategies (e.g., rumination and worry). Exploratory correlation analyses revealed positive associations between NA inertia and maladaptive ER strategies. Together, these findings provide evidence of a dynamic interplay between NA and ER. This work deepens how we understand the challenges of applying ER strategies in daily life. Future clinical and translational research should consider these dynamic perspectives on ER and affect.
情绪调节的扩展过程模型为理解情绪体验和情绪调节(ER)如何随着时间的推移相互影响提供了一个框架。为了研究这种相互影响的关系,202 名成年人完成了一项为期十天的经验取样调查,调查内容包括负性情绪(NA)的经验水平以及日常生活中十种情绪调节策略的使用情况。残差动态结构方程模型(DSEMs)被用来研究NA和ER(策略使用和策略间变异性)的人内交叉滞后效应和自回归效应。结果表明,NA 预测了较低的策略间变异性,较低的接受和问题解决的后续使用,但较高的反刍和担忧的后续使用。此外,重新评估和策略间变异性预示着较低的后续 NA 水平,而表达性抑制和担忧则预示着较高的后续 NA 水平。在 NA 和适应不良的 ER 策略(如反刍和担忧)方面发现了稳定的自回归效应。探索性相关分析显示,NA惰性与适应不良的ER策略之间存在正相关。这些发现共同证明了NA和ER之间的动态相互作用。这项工作加深了我们对在日常生活中应用ER策略所面临挑战的理解。未来的临床和转化研究应考虑ER和情感的这些动态视角。
期刊介绍:
The major focus of Behaviour Research and Therapy is an experimental psychopathology approach to understanding emotional and behavioral disorders and their prevention and treatment, using cognitive, behavioral, and psychophysiological (including neural) methods and models. This includes laboratory-based experimental studies with healthy, at risk and subclinical individuals that inform clinical application as well as studies with clinically severe samples. The following types of submissions are encouraged: theoretical reviews of mechanisms that contribute to psychopathology and that offer new treatment targets; tests of novel, mechanistically focused psychological interventions, especially ones that include theory-driven or experimentally-derived predictors, moderators and mediators; and innovations in dissemination and implementation of evidence-based practices into clinical practice in psychology and associated fields, especially those that target underlying mechanisms or focus on novel approaches to treatment delivery. In addition to traditional psychological disorders, the scope of the journal includes behavioural medicine (e.g., chronic pain). The journal will not consider manuscripts dealing primarily with measurement, psychometric analyses, and personality assessment.
