This study examined whether stress beliefs moderate affective reactivity and stress regulation strategies in response to naturally occurring stressors in daily life. In a 7-day ecological momentary assessment study, 104 university students completed thrice-daily reports (1,939 observations) on social and work-related stressors, positive and negative affect, and two stress regulation strategies-situation selection and response modification-as proposed in the stress optimization model (Crum et al., 2020). At baseline, stress beliefs were assessed alongside variables to characterize the sample. Negative stress beliefs moderated the association between daily stressors and positive affect: Individuals with high negative stress beliefs showed reduced positive affect during social stress and no increase in positive affect under higher workload. By contrast, those with low or moderate negative stress beliefs maintained positive affect during social stress and showed increased positive affect under higher workload-consistent with a challengelike appraisal. Additionally, controllability beliefs buffered increases in negative affect in response to daily social stress, with lower beliefs linked to stronger affective reactivity. By contrast, stress beliefs did not moderate associations between daily stressors and the investigated stress regulation strategies. These findings suggest that stress beliefs tune affective reactivity to everyday social and work stressors, identifying them as a potential intervention target given the established links between affect and long-term health. The generalizability of these findings should be confirmed across broader populations.

Negative reactivity to uncertainty has detrimental health impacts, especially for mental health. Higher levels of intolerance of uncertainty, defined as more negative responses to uncertainty, are associated with a greater risk of experiencing affective and anxiety disorders. Yet little is known about whether affective responses to uncertainty are the same across domains of uncertainty and whether they show cumulative or domain-specific associations with mental health. To address these knowledge gaps, the present study developed and validated a novel scale assessing affective responses to common types of uncertainty: academic/professional, climate, financial, health, political, and social domains of uncertainty in three independent samples (Sample A: N = 371, 18-76 years; Sample B: N = 403, 18-74 years; Sample C: N = 192, 18-32 years). All data were collected in 2025. The 24-item Affective Responses to Daily Uncertainty Scale offered a reliable measure of affective responses to uncertainty across domains. Negative affective responses across domains generally decreased with age. Social uncertainty demonstrated the strongest association with affective and anxiety disorder symptoms across age. Improving individuals' tolerance to social uncertainty therefore offers a promising target for intervention.

We built a bottom-up taxonomy of reasons for investigating why. In Study 1a (N = 250 U.K. community members; collected in 2023) people who did not regulate during a recent stressful event were asked to describe their reasons. We established a list of 14 reasons, and a new sample rated their agreement (Study 1b, N = 248, United Kingdom; 2023). Study 2 (N = 326, Australia; 2024) investigated reason frequency in everyday life using experience sampling. Our studies were conducted in English among people residing in the United Kingdom and Australia; thus, our claims are relevant to these contexts. The most common reasons for not regulating under stress (Studies 1a and 1b) were believing one's feelings were valid, not wanting to make things worse, and feeling there was nothing one could do in the situation. The most common reasons for not regulating in daily life (Study 2) were believing one's feelings were valid and that regulating did not cross one's mind. In Studies 1b and 2, we tested reason endorsement based on affect intensity. For people with greater negative affect (Study 1b), and times with greater than usual negative affect (Study 2), people consistently did not initiate emotion regulation because they did not know how. Practically, this work highlights new avenues for intervening to foster emotion regulation, if and when regulation is desired. Theoretically, this work highlights the importance of studying emotion regulation as a process that is-and importantly, is not-initiated.

One avenue of research has linked specific beliefs about emotions with poorer psychological outcomes, including heightened mood and anxiety symptoms and lower levels of life satisfaction. The current project builds on this prior work by developing a new measure of beliefs that the experience of negative emotions can cause physical or psychological harm, akin to ingesting a toxic substance and exploring its association with various psychological outcomes in three large independent samples (Ntotal = 1,849) collected from 2023 to 2025. In Sample A (N = 954), we describe the initial development of the Beliefs That Negative Emotions Are Toxic Scale (B-NETS). In Samples B (N = 419) and C (N = 476), we validate the B-NETS and link higher B-NETS scores with greater irritability, depression, and anxiety. These associations remained significant even after accounting for existing emotion belief, emotion regulation, and experiential avoidance measures. If replicated, especially in non-U.S. samples with greater racial and ethnic diversity, these findings suggest this new measure may provide unique information about mental health beyond existing measures.

While a large literature has examined person perception, related to how people use visual cues to infer characteristics and mental states of individuals, notably fewer studies have examined people perception, related to how people use cues to infer characteristics and mental states of groups. In four studies, the current research investigates how people use emotional expressions of anger and happiness to infer the emotional state of crowds and how race affects this process. Using an ensemble coding paradigm, this work indicates that Black compared to White crowds were rated as angrier. This effect was most robust in crowds with equal proportions of angry and happy expressions. Furthermore, in diverse crowds with Black and White members, who expressed anger mattered. Crowds in which Black rather than White members expressed anger were rated as angrier. These effects were consistent across crowds that were predominantly angry or happy, as well as those with an equal proportion of angry and happy expressions. The implications of these findings for threat perceptions and responses to crowds, as well as potential directions for research, are discussed.

This research investigates when and why LLMs might be preferred as extrinsic interpersonal emotion regulators in nonclinical contexts. Across three studies, we systematically compared the regulatory effects and perceived effectiveness of LLM- versus human-generated comforting messages. Study 1a (N = 279) used thematic analysis to show that LLM-generated responses largely mirrored human extrinsic interpersonal emotion regulation strategies, with some discrepancies between different LLMs. Study 1b (N = 390) demonstrated that LLMs sometimes produced stronger regulatory effects, though effects varied by emotional context (no differences for sadness) and outcome (no regulatory effects on fear). Study 2 (N = 196) again showed LLM regulatory advantages in some scenarios and outcomes, but emotional validation (i.e., acknowledgment of the target's emotional response) did not explain the higher emotional improvement achieved by LLMs. Study 3a (N = 188) identified actionable support (i.e., specific and implementable regulatory tactics) as a feature that enhanced regulatory effectiveness across sources. This was confirmed in Study 3b (N = 180) while controlling for message length. These findings suggest that, when evaluated using experimentally generated messages based on prototypes, LLMs can effectively mimic or sometimes surpass human prototypes in extrinsic interpersonal emotion regulation. However, advantages seem to be context and outcome dependent. Importantly, actionable support emerges as a key component for effective interpersonal emotion regulation across sources. Implications are discussed for theories of interpersonal emotion regulation and artificial intelligence-human interaction.

However, the perceived quality of the responder's reaction to a capitalization attempt shapes the impact it will have for the capitalizer. Here, we examined how different dimensions of empathy (e.g., compassion, perspective taking, and emotion sharing) in listeners predict perceived responses to capitalization attempts by sharers. We recruited 103 stranger dyads (N = 206) who engaged in naturalistic conversations about a meaningful positive event. Participants watched video recordings of their interactions and continuously rated their own and their partner's emotions using a sliding scale. Results revealed that coexperienced positive affect-moments when both the listener and sharer simultaneously experienced positive emotions-was a key predictor of perceived responses to capitalization attempts. Specifically, more moments of shared positive affect predicted greater active-constructive responses (enthusiastic and supportive reactions) and fewer passive-destructive responses (disinterested and unsupportive reactions). These associations remained robust controlling for individual moments of positive and negative affect, disclosure depth, and other empathy dimensions. These findings suggest that feeling positive emotions with others, more so than understanding or caring for their emotions, is associated with effective responses to capitalization attempts. This research bridges empathy and capitalization literatures by demonstrating that positive emotion sharing underpins supportive responses to shared good news, with important implications for understanding how to build stronger relationships through effective responses to others' positive experiences.

Among these, perceived control is a well-established predictor of emotional well-being. However, its influence on affective responses may vary depending on contextual factors-an area that remains insufficiently explored. Across two preregistered experiments, we examine the moderating effects of acute stress and evaluative feedback on the relationship between perceived control and affective states. Study 1 (N = 321) employed an adapted Trier Social Stress Test to create high- and low-stress conditions and found perceived control to be associated with greater positive affect under low-stress and lower negative affect under high-stress conditions. Perceived control showed differential associations with affect across stress conditions, such that its affective benefits were contingent on contextual stress. Extending these findings, Study 2 (N = 322) utilized a similar high-stress condition to Study 1 and manipulated evaluative feedback in three conditions (i.e., positive, negative, and no-feedback conditions). Results indicated that negative feedback diminished the emotional benefits of perceived control on positive affect, while positive and no feedback allowed its protective influence on negative affect to persist. Together, these findings provide nuanced insights into how perceived control interacts with contextual factors to shape affective states.

However, we did find that the strength of this connection varied across countries, which could be explained by various country-level moderators. For instance, the link was weaker in countries with lower national income and more collectivistic values. These patterns establish the strong connection between gratitude and well-being across a wide variety of cultures, but also suggest that gratitude may be less strongly associated with well-being in contexts where resources are scarce.
