Waugh, Joseph A. Mikels and Nilly Mor (<i>Emotion</i>, Advanced Online Publication, Jan 16, 2025, np; see record 2025-70002-001). In the original article, there was an error in the Study 1 Method section regarding the duration of the distraction task. Under the Procedure heading in the Study 1 Method section, the sentence \"After signing the consent form, participants completed the AWM task and a 2-min distraction task, in order to mitigate the memory effects on posttask ratings\" should have said \"After signing the consent form, participants completed the AWM task and a 3-min distraction task, in order to mitigate the memory effects on posttask ratings.\" The findings and conclusions of the article remain unchanged. (The following abstract appeared in the original article.) In two studies conducted in 2022, we examined the effect of images that elicit incidental emotions and the timing of exposure to these images, on the maintenance of positive and negative emotions in affective working memory (AWM). In Study 1, participants viewed a negative, positive, or neutral image while maintaining the emotional intensity of positive or negative emotions in AWM (intratrial). The results showed that experiencing a negative or positive incidental emotion (but not neutral states) improved the maintenance of negative (but not positive) emotions induced by another stimulus. In Study 2, participants were randomly assigned to experimental conditions. In the first condition, they viewed an emotion-eliciting image while maintaining an emotion elicited by a different image (replicating Study 1). In the second condition, they viewed the emotion-eliciting image before maintaining an emotion elicited by a different image. The results replicated those of Study 1 and showed that the timing of experiencing the incidental emotion (before or during the task) did not affect AWM. They also suggest that maintenance of negative emotions increases irrespective of the emotional context surrounding them. These findings offer valuable theoretical insights into the role of emotional contexts in intensifying negative emotions, potentially guiding future research on interventions designed to modulate negative emotions.

However, no studies have examined how emotion fluency emerges across development, despite the fact that mastering emotion language is an important developmental task. A cross-sectional sample of participants aged 4-25 years (N = 194) generated as many fruit words as possible in 60 s (to measure verbal fluency) and as many emotion words as possible in 60 s (to measure emotion fluency). Emotion fluency was highly correlated with verbal fluency, and both showed similar increases across age, plateauing in late adolescence. Participants produced more negative emotion words than positive or neutral words, and these proportions were invariant across age. Network analyses shed light on the emergence of semantic networks underlying emotion organization across age. Finally, age of acquisition, valence, dominance, concreteness, and word length were significantly associated with the order in which emotion words came to participants' minds, suggesting that these dimensions are associated with the accessibility of emotion concepts. Interestingly, the influence of these dimensions on the order of emotion word production was invariant across age. Results from this study illustrate the developmental emergence of emotion fluency and provide new insight into the key dimensions that are associated with which emotion words rapidly come to mind.

In a series of studies, we tested whether preparenthood gender differences in sensitivity to infant cries are a potential driver of the unequal share of early parenting. In Study 1, we tested for differences in men and women's awakening to infant crying and alarms among nonparents in an overnight experiment (<i>N</i> = 142). We found that at the lowest sound volumes only, estimated at a sound pressure level of between 33 and 44 decibels, women were 14% more likely to wake than men to both infant crying and alarm sounds. There were no differences between women and men at louder sound volumes. In Study 2, we examined the nighttime caregiving patterns of first-time parents over a week using experience sampling to obtain reports from both fathers and mothers (<i>N</i> = 117). We found that mothers were, on average, three times more likely to check on or respond to their infants at night than fathers. In 23% of couples, there was some evidence for equal sharing. Finally, in a simulation study, we reconstructed the distribution of care that could emerge from the awakening differences observed in Study 1. We then compared these simulations to the empirical nighttime caregiving patterns reported by first-time parents in Study 2. Our simulation showed that the large difference between parents' nighttime caregiving was unlikely to emerge from the small preparenthood differences in awakening likelihood. We conclude that the greater maternal share of nighttime caregiving cannot plausibly be explained by inherent preparenthood differences in auditory reactivity or nocturnal waking behavior in men or women.

In two studies (conducted in 2016-2017 and 2022), Belgian couples engaged in separate discussions about each other's most annoying characteristics (high-risk context) and valuable characteristics (low-risk context). For each discussion, each couple member reported how much they had suppressed their emotions, felt their partner was responsive toward them, and felt close to their partner. In Study 1 (<i>n</i> = 101 couples), expressive suppression was assessed for emotions in general.

In both studies, participants reported suppressing emotions more intensely in high-risk than in low-risk contexts. Actors' (and sometimes partners') expressive suppression was also associated with lower perceived responsiveness and closeness. However, results regarding whether suppression was associated with worse relational outcomes in the high-risk versus low-risk context were inconsistent, depending on the specificity of emotions assessed with the suppression measure (general, negative, or positive) and the relational outcome.

This observation has inspired a growing body of work seeking to identify the factors that predict emotion regulation strategy choice. To explain these findings, several explanatory theories have been proposed. As with most theories in the field of affective science, they are formulated in natural language. Translating these theories into the language of mathematics may bring more clarity to the field and help generate new, testable hypotheses. The present article aimed to formulate more precise theoretical predictions by translating verbal theories about the emotion regulation selection process into formal mathematical language. Specifically, we focused on formally defining a theory that might help to explain the robust finding that people prefer distraction over reappraisal at high emotional intensities but prefer reappraisal over distraction at low emotional intensities. Through the process of theory formalization, we identified hidden assumptions and unanswered research questions, which resulted in a computational model that predicts results that match empirical work. This work demonstrates how theory formalization can accelerate theoretical and empirical progress in affective science. Better explanatory theories can then inform interventions designed to enhance the selection of adaptive regulation strategies.

Naclerio, Lee Lazar, Erica A. Hornstein and Naomi I. Eisenberger (<i>Emotion</i>, Advanced Online Publication, Nov 11, 2024, np). After publication, the first author became aware that data for the self-kindness condition at the post-intervention time points for the depression and anxiety measures did not match the output originally exported from Qualtrics. The second author reported that when they were merging Qualtrics outputs into a single data file for analyses, they experienced repeated software crashes. This technical issue likely caused data cells to be incorrectly merged for the self-kindness condition at the post-intervention time point. Due to the corrupted data, the findings related to the self-kindness group at the post-intervention time point (for depression and anxiety) are incorrect. Data from the other groups and timepoints remain unaffected. This retraction was requested by all authors. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2025-44126-001). A growing body of literature supports the idea that prosocial behavior, or behavior done on behalf of another person, is beneficial to well-being. However, modern society often places a greater emphasis on self-care or \"treating yourself\" in the pursuit of well-being. To understand the effects of these differing forms of kindness (to others or the self), we conducted a 2-week intervention study in December 2020. Participants (<i>N</i> = 999) were randomly assigned to an other-kindness, self-kindness, or control condition. Participants in the other- and self-kindness groups were asked to perform three acts of kindness each week, while participants in the control condition were not. Of those who completed the intervention (<i>N</i> = 781), we found that participants in the other-kindness (vs. self-kindness and control) group experienced significant decreases in depression, anxiety, and loneliness from pre- to postintervention, offering compelling evidence for the mental health benefits of prosocial behavior. Unexpectedly, we also found that participants in the self-kindness (vs. other-kindness and control) group experienced significant increases in depression and anxiety. While the self-kindness group reported enjoying their acts of kindness more, the other-kindness group felt more connected. Overall, these findings reaffirm the benefits of prosocial behavior on well-being and suggest that self-kindness might not be as positive as it feels.
