These cognitive biases are thought to perpetuate loneliness and subsequent long-term health risk. One such shift is an increased tendency to assume hostile intent behind others' ambiguous actions, referred to as a hostile attribution bias. While loneliness has been associated with increased hostile attribution biases, empirical studies have yet to assess whether loneliness directly causes increased hostile attributions. Here, we tested whether experimentally induced changes in momentary loneliness can shift hostile attribution biases by randomly assigning 142 undergraduate students (ages 18-29 years old) to one of three conditions: a loneliness induction (journaling about a lonely memory), a loneliness reduction (prosocial gratitude), or a control (description of morning routine) condition. As expected, loneliness increased after journaling and decreased after prosocial gratitude. In addition, baseline loneliness was associated with a bias toward hostile attributions. However, acute changes in loneliness did not produce corresponding changes in hostile attribution biases, and there was no interaction with baseline loneliness levels. These findings have implications for the design of loneliness interventions, suggesting that targeting momentary feelings of loneliness may have limited effects on the hostile attribution biases associated with feelings of loneliness.

However, standard inertia models rely on a simplified assumption of symmetry: They assume that the temporal carryover of affect is identical regardless of whether an individual is feeling better or worse than usual. This masks potentially critical individual differences, as theories of adaptive affective functioning propose rapid recovery from worsened affective states alongside sustained persistence of desirable affective states as hallmarks of healthy affect regulation. To capture individual differences in this asymmetry, we introduce Tilt, a curvilinear autoregressive parameter that models inertia not as a fixed constant but as a slope that varies depending on the individual's momentary deviation from baseline. Applying a Bayesian multilevel model to daily diary data collected in 2018-2019 (N = 485; 25 days), we examined Tilt in positive affect and explored its association with neuroticism as an illustrative example. Replicating established findings, neuroticism predicted lower mean levels and greater variability in positive affect. Neuroticism was unrelated to standard linear inertia but was significantly associated with Tilt. While the average participant exhibited a convex Tilt (high persistence during peaks, rapid recovery from troughs), individuals high in neuroticism showed a concave Tilt, a \"dampening\" pattern where positive deviations decayed rapidly while drops below baseline became entrenched. These findings suggest that modeling the state dependence of affective persistence reveals individual differences in asymmetric affective dynamics that linear models miss.

Although research has documented that polyregulation is common, more research is needed to clarify when it occurs and how it relates to ER processes. A total of 179 adults reported on a recent event 5×/day for 14 days between 2022 and 2023. For each event, participants reported on momentary contextual factors, including positive affect and negative affect, social context (presence of others), and event appraisals (pleasantness, importance), along with whether they engaged in ER. When ER was reported, participants indicated whether they used single-strategy ER or various types of polyregulation and their perceived ER effort, difficulty, and success. Polyregulation was common (53%) and endorsed more frequently than single-strategy ER (47%), though the magnitude of this effect was small (p = .046, Wilcoxon effect size r = .16). Single-strategy ER use was more frequent than any one type of polyregulation approach. The likelihood of polyregulation was higher when individuals felt more negative affect, perceived events as more important, and were with others (vs. alone). Positive affect and pleasantness were not robust predictors of polyregulation. Compared to single-strategy ER, polyregulation was associated with greater ER effort and difficulty, but not success. The polyregulation approach \"redo\" (i.e., switching strategies after the first way did not work) was, however, associated with less ER success compared to other forms of ER, including single-strategy ER. Altogether, polyregulation was frequent in daily life and varied based on contextual factors. Engaging in polyregulation may be more demanding than using a single strategy.

Understanding people's motives for engaging in interpersonal emotion regulation-and how these motives relate to the strategies they report receiving from and providing to others-can reveal the potential alignment or mismatch in why certain regulation strategies are deployed. In two daily life studies (Ntotal = 402), we captured interpersonal emotion regulation from the perspective of the person soliciting emotion regulation from others (i.e., intrinsic regulation) and providing emotion regulation to others (i.e., extrinsic regulation). In doing so, we explored whether people's regulation motives (i.e., to feel better, get work done, build relationships, and seek or provide perspective) predicted their perception of the regulation strategy (i.e., reappraisal, valuing, distraction, and suppression) they received from and provided to others in everyday social interactions. We found motives people held for turning to others to regulate their own emotions were largely not associated with strategies they reported receiving. However, motives people held for regulating others' emotions were associated with strategies they themselves provided. For instance, people reported making others feel valued and cared for more when holding a motive of wanting others to feel better, recommended suppressing emotions less when holding a motive to build social bonds, and encouraged reappraisal more when holding a motive to provide advice and perspective. Overall, our research highlights a potential gap between the emotional support people want from others and the emotional support they feel they receive, pointing to an avenue of intervention to improve relational and individual well-being.

Research has typically emphasized the general short-term effectiveness of specific strategies, assuming that some reliably regulate affect more successfully than others. However, this approach has critical limitations. To evaluate its validity, we conducted a coordinated data analysis of 12 ambulatory assessment data sets (N = 1,511 participants; N = 161,513 measurement occasions) examining strategy effectiveness in daily life. Acceptance, reappraisal, and social sharing were, on average, associated with more favorable subsequent affect, whereas rumination, suppression, and, to a lesser extent, distraction were not. Yet there was substantial between-person variability in the effectiveness of every strategy, indicating that strategies considered effective on average were ineffective or even counterproductive for a meaningful subset of individuals. Most strikingly, approximately 75%-80% of the variance in effectiveness was explained by the intensity of the affective state individuals were attempting to regulate, suggesting that observed effectiveness largely reflects situational difficulty rather than intrinsic properties of strategies. A complementary analysis of a novel measure of negative affect pile-up further revealed a shift from greater reliance on putatively adaptive strategies during brief spikes in negative affect to greater reliance on putatively maladaptive strategies as elevated negative affect persisted. Together, these findings challenge the prevailing focus on short-term, strategy-level effectiveness in everyday life and highlight the need for emotion regulation assessments that better capture person-strategy-situation fit and the temporal dynamics of emotional episodes.

Less is known about how depressive symptoms are associated with ER in standardized contexts when regulators can select their own strategy. Such contexts may be associated with less impairment in ER, as they control for qualitative differences in everyday life. The present study examines depressive symptoms, ER strategy use, and ER success in an age-diverse community sample (N = 124; age 25-83; data collected in 2018). Participants viewed emotional clips under prohedonic ER instructions (i.e., feel more positive and less negative) with no strategy provided. They rated their emotions and use of six ER strategies (savoring, distraction, positive reappraisal, detached reappraisal, bodily awareness, expressive suppression) after each clip. Depressive symptoms were only associated with lower use of savoring and bodily awareness and not associated with ER success (indexed by emotion experience). Use of bodily awareness predicted lower ER success among those higher in depressive symptoms, but no other effects of strategy use varied by depressive symptoms. Generally, use of savoring and positive reappraisal was associated with higher ER success, whereas distraction, detached reappraisal, and expressive suppression were associated with lower ER success. Findings suggest that in a controlled setting, depressive symptoms did not strongly predict selection (i.e., use) or effectiveness (i.e., success) of ER strategies, with the exceptions of less savoring as well as less use and effectiveness of bodily awareness.

Interestingly, emerging research suggests disgust reactions to traumatic events may persist more (i.e., linger longer) than fear reactions. Yet, this idea has not been explored experimentally. Here, we investigate whether feelings of disgust and fear in relation to a remembered trauma analogue persist differently over time. Across three experiments, participants viewed a trauma analogue (i.e., negative images) that elicited both disgust and fear. In Experiment 1 (n = 111), we aimed to elicit maximal (i.e., highly intense) ratings of disgust and fear at encoding, and in Experiment 2 (n = 112), we modified our trauma analogue to match the intensity of disgust and fear reactions more closely at encoding. In these experiments, participants rated their feelings of disgust and fear to the trauma analogue at encoding and at 24-hr delay (i.e., upon remembering the trauma analogue). In Experiment 3 (n = 118), we replicated our second experiment using a 1-week delay. Disgust and fear faded similarly when the intensity of emotional reactions was maximized at encoding, but when these emotional reactions were matched at an initial moderately intense level, disgust persisted more than fear over 24 hr and 1 week. Our findings suggest that disgust reactions to traumatic events are similarly-if not more-persistent over time than fear reactions, highlighting disgust as a trauma-relevant emotion.

This study (N = 68, average age: M = 20.61 ± 1.56, 100% female, collected in 2024 in China) investigated the behavioral and neural mechanisms of bidirectional benefits in IER, examining strategy-dependent (cognitive reappraisal, distraction) and role-specific (regulator, target) neural dynamics using functional near-infrared spectroscopy hyperscanning. Behaviorally, cognitive reappraisal induced greater valence improvement for both roles compared to distraction. At the single-brain level, prefrontal regions (frontopolar, left orbitofrontal cortex) and the right Broca area showed distinct activation patterns contingent on strategy and role; regulators exhibited stronger activation during cognitive reappraisal, while targets displayed pronounced right-lateralized activation (right orbitofrontal cortex, right Broca area) during distraction, supporting differing cognitive demands. Critically, multivariate pattern analysis of interbrain synchronization revealed that distributed patterns of neural coordination successfully decoded both the IER strategy employed and, notably, regulatory success for both regulators and targets. The regulator's frontopolar synchronization emerged as pivotal in these predictive interbrain synchronization patterns. These findings demonstrate that successful IER relies on a combination of role-dependent neural specialization and dyad-specific, strategy-aligned interbrain coordination, advancing our understanding of IER as a dynamic, multibrain process facilitating mutual emotional alignment.
