Abstract

Emotion malleability beliefs have been demonstrated to influence emotion regulation at the trait level. Contemporary theories propose that emotion regulation involves several stages: identifying the need to regulate, selecting strategies, and implementing those strategies. It remains unclear how emotion malleability beliefs relate to these stages in everyday life. This study examined the relationships between emotion malleability beliefs and the three stages of emotion regulation using a dynamic structural equation modelling (DSEM). Data from three studies (total N = 390) from the EMOTE database employing daily diary and ecological momentary assessment (EMA) were analysed. Emotion malleability beliefs were assessed at baseline, while emotion regulation strategies and negative emotions were assessed in daily lives. Results showed that emotion malleability beliefs were associated with the selection of cognitive reappraisal in the daily diary study, but not with any stage of emotion regulation in the EMA studies. Exploratory analyses further demonstrated a significant association between emotion malleability beliefs and the selection of situation modification in the daily diary study. These findings highlight the potential of EMA and daily diary studies to explore emotion regulation theories, while emphasising the need for further research into the dynamic relationships between emotion beliefs and regulation in daily life.

日常生活中情绪可塑性信念与情绪调节过程的关系

情绪可塑性信念已被证明在特质水平上影响情绪调节。当代理论认为情绪调节包括几个阶段：确定需要调节，选择策略，并实施这些策略。目前尚不清楚情绪可塑性信念与日常生活中的这些阶段之间的关系。本研究采用动态结构方程模型（DSEM）研究了情绪可塑性信念与情绪调节三个阶段之间的关系。采用每日日记和生态瞬间评估（EMA）对EMOTE数据库中3项研究（总N = 390）的数据进行分析。在基线时评估情绪可塑性信念，在日常生活中评估情绪调节策略和消极情绪。结果表明，情绪可塑性信念与日常日记研究中的认知重评价选择相关，而与EMA研究中的情绪调节任何阶段无关。探索性分析进一步证明了情绪可塑性信念与日常日记研究中情境修正选择之间的显著关联。这些发现突出了EMA和日常日记研究探索情绪调节理论的潜力，同时强调了进一步研究日常生活中情绪信念与调节之间动态关系的必要性。

期刊介绍： Cognition & Emotion is devoted to the study of emotion, especially to those aspects of emotion related to cognitive processes. The journal aims to bring together work on emotion undertaken by researchers in cognitive, social, clinical, and developmental psychology, neuropsychology, and cognitive science. Examples of topics appropriate for the journal include the role of cognitive processes in emotion elicitation, regulation, and expression; the impact of emotion on attention, memory, learning, motivation, judgements, and decisions.
