Abstract

Anxiety and depression are believed to be associated with increased use of maladaptive emotion regulation (ER) strategies and decreased use of adaptive strategies; nonetheless, most work on this topic has been approached using static perspectives on measuring ER, which may overlook the dynamic interplay between ER and emotional experiences. We combined ecological momentary assessment and dynamic structural equation modeling in two independent college-student samples (N1 = 202; N2 = 213) to investigate bidirectional relationships between ER and daily affect. In Study 1, we examined reciprocal associations between negative affect and two ER strategies characterized by repetitive negative thinking (rumination and worry), while in Study 2, we explored reciprocal relationships between both negative and positive affect and two context-dependent and cognitively demanding ER strategies (reappraisal and distraction). We then explored associations of these reciprocal relations with laboratory questionnaires of anxiety and depression. Results indicated both anxiety and depression were associated with greater average negative affect in daily life, greater use of worry, and greater variability in positive affect. However, anxiety was related specifically to difficulties in maintenance of distraction, whereas depression showed unique associations with negative affect inertia, average use of rumination, and difficulties in maintenance of cognitive reappraisal. Findings collectively reveal commonalities and differences in dynamics of ER and daily affect experience related to depression and anxiety. These insights can inform future research into targeted interventions for these negative emotions.

抑郁症和焦虑症患者的情绪调节困难:来自策略使用动态和日常情绪的证据
焦虑和抑郁被认为与适应不良的情绪调节(ER)策略的使用增加和适应性策略的使用减少有关;然而,有关这一主题的大多数研究都是从静态的角度来测量ER,这可能会忽略ER与情绪体验之间的动态相互作用。我们在两个独立的大学生样本(N1 = 202;N2 = 213)中结合了生态瞬时评估和动态结构方程模型来研究ER和日常情绪之间的双向关系。在研究 1 中,我们探讨了消极情绪与两种以重复消极思考为特征的 ER 策略(反刍和担忧)之间的相互关系;而在研究 2 中,我们探讨了消极情绪和积极情绪与两种依赖于情境且对认知要求较高的 ER 策略(重新评价和分散注意力)之间的相互关系。然后,我们探讨了这些相互关系与实验室焦虑和抑郁问卷之间的关联。结果表明,焦虑和抑郁都与日常生活中平均消极情绪的增加、担忧的增加和积极情绪的变化有关。然而,焦虑与保持注意力分散的困难特别相关,而抑郁则与消极情绪惰性、反刍的平均使用率和保持认知再评价的困难有独特的关联。研究结果共同揭示了与抑郁和焦虑相关的急诊室动态和日常情感体验的共性和差异。这些见解可为今后针对这些负面情绪的针对性干预研究提供参考。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Contextual Behavioral Science is the official journal of the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science (ACBS). Contextual Behavioral Science is a systematic and pragmatic approach to the understanding of behavior, the solution of human problems, and the promotion of human growth and development. Contextual Behavioral Science uses functional principles and theories to analyze and modify action embedded in its historical and situational context. The goal is to predict and influence behavior, with precision, scope, and depth, across all behavioral domains and all levels of analysis, so as to help create a behavioral science that is more adequate to the challenge of the human condition.
