Abstract

Introduction

Inspired by Carol Dweck's work on naive theories of intelligence, the implicit theory of emotions refers to beliefs regarding the general functioning of emotions, specifically, their controllability. Some individuals view emotions as uncontrollable (entity theory), while others think that emotions can be modulated (incremental theory). These beliefs guide the emotional regulation strategies that individuals use and influence subjective well-being.

Objective

The present study explores the psychometric properties of the French version of the Implicit Theories of Emotion Scale developed by Tamir et al. (2007).

Method

One hundred seventy-seven participants aged 18 to 72 years old (M = 34 years old) completed the Implicit Theories of Emotion Scale in conjunction with two other questionnaires: subjective well-being and emotional regulation strategies.

Results

Factor analyses identified a one-dimensional structure; the internal reliability (alpha = .81) and test-retest reliability indices (r = .69) were satisfactory. The study replicated the main results of contemporary international studies concerning the mediating role of cognitive reappraisal and further documents the pivotal role of positive reappraisal in the association between implicit theories and well-being.

Conclusion

The discussion highlights clinical and theoretical interests and the usefulness of the Implicit Theories of Emotion Scale.

情绪量表内隐理论法语版的心理测量特性

受Carol Dweck关于幼稚智力理论的启发，内隐情绪理论指的是关于情绪一般功能的信念，特别是它们的可控性。一些人认为情绪是不可控的(实体理论)，而另一些人认为情绪是可以调节的(增量理论)。这些信念指导着个体使用的情绪调节策略，并影响着主观幸福感。目的探讨由Tamir et al.(2007)开发的法语版内隐情绪理论量表的心理测量特性。方法对1777名年龄在18 ~ 72岁(M = 34岁)的被试完成了内隐情绪理论量表，同时完成了主观幸福感问卷和情绪调节策略问卷。结果因子分析确定为一维结构;内部信度(alpha = 0.81)和重测信度指标(r = 0.69)令人满意。本研究复制了当代国际研究关于认知重评的中介作用的主要结果，并进一步证明了积极重评在内隐理论与幸福感之间的关联中的关键作用。结论本文的讨论突出了内隐情绪量表的临床和理论价值，以及内隐情绪量表的实用性。
