In this study, 95 caregiver-person with dementia dyads had a 10-min, unrehearsed conversation about a relationship conflict in the laboratory between 2013 and 2019. After the conversation, caregivers reported the extent to which they experienced six negative and five positive affects during the conversation. Caregivers also completed self-report measures of their depression and anxiety symptoms. Analyses of caregivers' affect during the conversation revealed that greater sadness was correlated with higher depression, greater fear was correlated with higher anxiety, and greater anger and lower calm were each correlated with both higher depression and anxiety. In two multiple regressions that included the specific affect variables that were significantly correlated with caregiver depression or anxiety, respectively, we found that greater sadness and lower calm (but not anger) remained significantly associated with higher depression and lower calm (but not anger or fear) remained significantly associated with higher anxiety. Finally, when accounting for relevant caregiver demographic factors and person with dementia clinical characteristics, greater sadness and lower calm remained significantly associated with higher depression and lower calm remained significantly associated with higher anxiety. None of the associations between specific affects and depression or anxiety were moderated by caregiver sex or age.

(The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2025-19056-001). People exhibit marked individual variation in their ability to exercise cognitive control in affectively charged situations. Affective control is typically assessed in laboratory settings by comparing performance in carefully constructed executive tasks performed in both affectively neutral and affectively charged contexts. There is some evidence that affective control undergoes significant improvement throughout adolescence, though it is unclear how adolescents deemed at risk of developing depression exercise affective control despite poor affective control being identified as a contributing factor to ongoing mental ill health in adulthood. The present study therefore investigated affective control in a large (<i>n</i> = 425) sample of adolescents (aged 11-18 years) collected from 2016 to 2018. A simultaneous visuospatial search and written storage working memory (WM) capacity task was carried out to examine affective control, using affectively neutral and affectively negative social images as the task-irrelevant distractors. Overall, WM capacity increased as a function of age across both affective conditions. Moreover, we report a significant difference between affective conditions, with WM capacity slightly lower during trials with affectively negative social scenes, relative to neutral. Performance in each condition and the performance \"cost\" for completing the task in negative relative to neutral conditions was not modulated by depressive symptoms. Furthermore, age did not predict performance cost, irrespective of depressive symptoms. These findings suggest that WM capacity is relatively robust against socioaffective contexts and mood in adolescents.

Prior work shows that these modulatory effects of emotion on memory are highly selective, with semantic overlap helping to determine which nearby neutral details are prioritized in long-term memory. Although this has been demonstrated in item recognition, less is known about how emotion interacts with semantic information to influence temporal-order memory. Here, we developed an emotional oddball task in which participants encoded lists of neutral words that were either semantically related to or unrelated to a perceptually deviant emotional or neutral oddball word. We hypothesized that an adaptive memory system should selectively enhance temporal-order and recall memory for information that precedes or follows a conceptually related emotional stimulus. We found that order memory was enhanced for word pairs that preceded a semantically related neutral oddball, suggesting that semantics helps to scaffold temporal encoding processes. By contrast, emotional oddballs retroactively disrupted this mnemonic benefit of semantic overlap on temporal-order memory. Emotional oddballs also led to proactive impairments in order memory irrespective of semantic relatedness. After a 24-hr delay, emotion enhanced recall of preceding, semantically unrelated words. Encountering an emotional oddball also enhanced recall for subsequent words irrespective of semantic relatedness. Our findings suggest that emotion bidirectionally and selectively disrupts the temporal organization of memory, while also enhancing memory for individualized, unrelated elements of an emotional episode.

For example, faces signaling emotion elicit quicker and more accurate eye movements compared to faces signaling more neutral displays. However, the use of faces with posed expressions staged to represent particular emotion categories might have inflated these effects, and it remains largely unknown whether we can effectively discriminate facial displays under more naturalistic conditions. Here, we used forced-choice saccadic responses to investigate the speed and accuracy of discrimination between happy, threatening, and neutral facial expressions. Further, we compared these markers of performance when using posed or naturalistic databases. Participants (<i>N</i> = 40) viewed happy/neutral and neutral/threatening face pairs and were tasked with saccading toward the \"happiest\" face. We found that participants rapidly distinguished happy expressions from neutral expressions in both posed and naturalistic face trials, though this bias was amplified when distinguishing faces with posed expressions. Further, interference from threatening faces more strongly disrupted neutral expression selection in posed compared to naturalistic face trials. These results confirm that naturalistic faces drive similar behavioral biases to posed faces in expression discrimination tasks. However, detailed analyses of continuous eye position revealed that, despite increased levels of visual noise, naturalistic faces elicited accurate eye movements faster than posed faces. These findings are a vital step forward in the field of social perception, paving the way from tightly controlled laboratory experiments to more ecologically valid approaches.

Yet, how exactly the experience and expression of emotions interact throughout such interactions remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the interplay between the experience and verbal expression of negative affect within and between romantic partners during negative interactions. We examined this interplay in terms of four possible relations: (a) how one's experienced negative affect predicts the verbal expression thereof, (b) how the verbal expression of negative affect predicts a subsequent change in one's own experienced affect, (c) how the verbal expression of negative affect predicts change in a partner's experienced affect, and (d) how one's experienced negative affect predicts the verbal expression of negative affect by a partner. We answered these questions by analyzing second-to-second data of self-reported affect ratings and verbatim transcripts of videotaped negative interactions between romantic partners. Our findings reveal inconsistent evidence for intraindividual relationships between the experience and verbal expression of negative affect. Yet, they demonstrate a consistent, though small, interpersonal relation with the expression of negative affect in one partner predicting the subsequent experience of negative affect in the other. These results suggest that verbal negative emotion expression may be more consistently related to others' experience than one's own, and highlight the role of emotion expression in interpersonal emotion regulation and the social construction of emotional experience, though the small effect sizes suggest this relationship may be subtle and that many other factors contribute to our emotional experiences.

However, empirical data that support the theoretical link between rumination, acceptance, and the attentional scope are scarce. The present study examined the effects of rumination and acceptance on local (narrow attention) versus global (broad attention) processing styles. Seventy-two healthy participants were asked to describe a distressing personal event. Then, participants implemented rumination or acceptance to cope with that event. Before and after the implementation phase, participants completed a global/local processing task. The results showed that rumination led to a pre- to postmanipulation increase in local interference (i.e., greater interference caused by details when attending to a whole figure) and a decrease in global interference (i.e., smaller interference caused by a whole figure while attending to the details). In contrast, implementing emotional acceptance led to a pre- to postmanipulation reduction in local interference, with no change in global interference. Post hoc analyses indicated that the effects of rumination and acceptance on processing style were not mediated by affective changes that resulted from implementing these strategies. The findings provide support for the role played by rumination in narrowing the attentional scope and partial support for the effect of acceptance on broadening attention.
