Abstract

Many emotion theories suggest that sensations from the body are a critical piece of emotional experience. Here, we examine how subjective awareness of body sensations is associated with emotional experience throughout daily life using ecological momentary assessment (data collected in 2021). Participants (N = 161) completed a 7-day protocol where they rated the intensity with which they were currently experiencing 16 different emotions as well as overall awareness of their body sensations (Nobs = 7,483). Experienced emotional intensity was positively associated with in-the-moment body awareness across 12 of 16 emotion terms. This association was present for both normatively positive and negative emotions, as well as for both normatively high and low arousal emotions. These findings extend prior theories on the role of body sensations in emotional experience and demonstrate that the association between conscious experiences of the body and emotion covaries in the moment within participants across different contexts in daily life.

期刊介绍: Emotion publishes significant contributions to the study of emotion from a wide range of theoretical traditions and research domains. The journal includes articles that advance knowledge and theory about all aspects of emotional processes, including reports of substantial empirical studies, scholarly reviews, and major theoretical articles. Submissions from all domains of emotion research are encouraged, including studies focusing on cultural, social, temperament and personality, cognitive, developmental, health, or biological variables that affect or are affected by emotional functioning. Both laboratory and field studies are appropriate for the journal, as are neuroimaging studies of emotional processes.
