Abstract

Emotion differentiation (ED), or the ability to make fine-grained distinctions about one's own emotional experiences, has been frequently linked to well-being but has only been studied as an intrapersonal construct. The present study proposes a new construct, Interpersonal ED, defined as the ability to classify others' emotions in a nuanced manner. Using daily diary data, we explored how Interpersonal ED is associated with ED, internalizing symptoms, and relationship satisfaction among 77 cohabiting couples. Participants self-reported their own emotions and their perceptions of their partner's emotions, which were used to calculate indices of positive and negative ED (NED/PED) and Interpersonal ED indices (Interpersonal NED/PED). Results show that although ED and Interpersonal ED were strongly associated, they were differentially related to internalizing symptoms. Specifically, greater NED (but not Interpersonal NED) was associated with participants experiencing greater anxiety symptoms in the context of heightened negative emotionality. In contrast, greater Interpersonal NED/PED (but not NED/PED) was associated with partners experiencing fewer anxiety symptoms, and Interpersonal NED alone was associated with partners experiencing fewer depressive symptoms. These findings highlight Interpersonal ED as a novel construct uniquely associated with mental health across individuals in romantic relationships.

人际情感分化。
情绪分化(ED),或对自己的情绪经历进行细致区分的能力,经常与幸福感联系在一起,但只作为一种个人内部结构进行研究。目前的研究提出了一个新的概念——人际情感障碍(Interpersonal ED),将其定义为以微妙的方式对他人情绪进行分类的能力。利用日常日记数据,我们在77对同居夫妇中探讨了人际ED与ED、内化症状和关系满意度之间的关系。参与者自我报告自己的情绪和他们对伴侣情绪的感知,这些情绪被用来计算积极和消极的ED指数(NED/PED)和人际ED指数(人际NED/PED)。结果显示,虽然ED和人际ED有很强的相关性,但它们与内化症状的相关性存在差异。具体来说,更大的NED(而不是人际NED)与参与者在负面情绪加剧的背景下经历更大的焦虑症状有关。相反,人际NED/PED(而非NED/PED)的增加与伴侣经历较少的焦虑症状相关,而人际NED单独与伴侣经历较少的抑郁症状相关。这些发现强调人际ED是一种独特的与恋爱关系中个体心理健康相关的新型结构。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA,版权所有)。

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.
