Abstract

People vary in the precision with which they experience and report on their emotions, known as emotional granularity, and this precision predicts their ability to regulate their emotions. It is not yet known, however, whether links between emotional granularity and emotion regulation are due to variation in knowledge of emotion words-specifically, individuals' reported usage, understanding, and ability to accurately define emotion words. In the present report, we combined data from six studies to address this gap in the literature using an integrative data analysis. Participants across the studies reported on how often they used and how well they understood a list of precise emotion words, and were tested on whether they could correctly pick a definition for each. They also completed questionnaire measures of self-reported emotional granularity (differentiation) and emotion dysregulation. Emotion word accuracy and understanding were highly correlated, so individual models were tested each separately to predict emotion dysregulation. In the model including usage and understanding, we observed a main effect of understanding, such that participants with greater self-reported understanding of emotion words reported less difficulty regulating their emotions. Similar effects were found for the model including usage and accuracy, such that individuals with higher emotion word accuracy had less difficulty regulating their emotions. Critically, these findings held when accounting for self-reported granularity (differentiation), suggesting that measures of emotion word knowledge have value for predicting emotion regulatory outcomes. Future work should examine whether individuals' emotion word knowledge is also linked to mental health outcomes.

情绪词汇、使用、理解、准确性与情绪失调之间的联系:一项综合分析。
人们体验和报告情绪的精确度各不相同,这被称为情绪粒度,这种精确度预测了他们调节情绪的能力。然而,目前尚不清楚情绪粒度和情绪调节之间的联系是否与情绪词汇知识的差异有关——具体来说,个人报告的使用、理解和准确定义情绪词汇的能力。在本报告中,我们结合了六项研究的数据,使用综合数据分析来解决文献中的这一差距。参与研究的参与者报告了他们使用一系列精确的情感词汇的频率和理解程度,并测试了他们是否能正确地为每个词汇选择一个定义。他们还完成了自我报告的情绪粒度(分化)和情绪失调的问卷测量。情绪词的准确性和理解高度相关,因此每个模型都被单独测试以预测情绪失调。在包含使用和理解的模型中,我们观察到理解的主要作用,即自我报告对情绪词汇理解程度较高的参与者报告的情绪调节困难较小。在使用和准确性方面,模型也发现了类似的效果,比如情绪词准确性高的人调节情绪的难度更小。关键的是,这些发现在考虑自我报告的粒度(分化)时仍然有效,这表明情绪词汇知识的测量对于预测情绪调节结果具有价值。未来的工作应该研究个人的情绪词汇知识是否也与心理健康结果有关。
