Abstract

Background: Cognitive flexibility is a key factor underlying emotion regulation (ER) and mental health. However, the impact of cognitive flexibility on flexible deployment of ER strategies in changing contexts remains unknown. This study investigated the effects of cognitive flexibility on two noteworthy ER constructs (strategy use and flexibility) and examined downstream impacts on negative affect.

Methods: Healthy adult participants (N = 202) completed a 10-day experience sampling protocol. Cognitive flexibility, daily ER (including flexibility and ten specific strategies) and negative affect in daily life were measured. We conducted multilevel regression and mediation models to examine associations among cognitive flexibility, daily ER, and negative affect in daily life.

Results: Higher cognitive flexibility predicted higher ER flexibility - indicated by strategy - situation fit, use of meta-ER skills and between-strategy variability - as well as higher use of reappraisal and problem solving, but lower use of worry. Mediation analyses suggested that enhanced ER flexibility and reduced use of worry linked cognitive flexibility to reduced negative affect.

Conclusions: Overall, findings have important implications for understanding the effects of cognitive flexibility on rigid versus flexible ER in ever-changing situations.

认知灵活性对日常生活中情绪调节动态和负面情绪的影响。

背景：认知灵活性是情绪调节（ER）和心理健康的关键因素：认知灵活性是情绪调节（ER）和心理健康的一个关键因素。然而，认知灵活性对在不断变化的情境中灵活部署情绪调节策略的影响仍然未知。本研究调查了认知灵活性对两个值得注意的情绪调节结构（策略使用和灵活性）的影响，并研究了其对负面情绪的下游影响。方法：健康成年参与者（N = 202）完成了为期 10 天的经验取样方案，测量了认知灵活性、日常 ER（包括灵活性和十种特定策略）和日常生活中的负面情绪。我们建立了多层次回归和中介模型，以研究认知灵活性、日常应急反应和日常生活中的负面情绪之间的关联：较高的认知灵活性可预测较高的应急反应灵活性（表现为策略-情境契合度、元应急反应技能的使用和策略间的可变性），以及较高的重新评估和问题解决能力，但较低的担忧能力。中介分析表明，增强 ER 灵活性和减少使用担忧将认知灵活性与减少消极情绪联系起来：总之，研究结果对于理解认知灵活性在瞬息万变的情境中对刚性与灵活性应急反应的影响具有重要意义。

期刊介绍： This journal provides a forum for scientific, theoretically important, and clinically significant research reports and conceptual contributions. It deals with experimental and field studies on anxiety dimensions and stress and coping processes, but also with related topics such as the antecedents and consequences of stress and emotion. We also encourage submissions contributing to the understanding of the relationship between psychological and physiological processes, specific for stress and anxiety. Manuscripts should report novel findings that are of interest to an international readership. While the journal is open to a diversity of articles.
