This study uses transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) to modulate neural synchrony between the DLPFC and VLPFC in the theta band, aiming to elucidate the effects of synchronous versus asynchronous neural interaction on reappraisal. It also examines whether these effects are unique to reappraisal or extend to other emotion regulation strategies. In Experiment 1, 43 participants underwent in-phase, antiphase, or sham tACS before performing a reappraisal task to downregulate negative emotions. The findings showed that in-phase tACS significantly enhanced reappraisal performance and reduced regulation difficulty, supporting a causal role of DLPFC-VLPFC synchrony in reappraisal. Experiment 2 combined tACS with electroencephalography to further validate these results and included distraction as a control condition. Another 43 participants engaged in both reappraisal and distraction strategies following either in-phase or sham tACS. Phase-locking values confirmed that in-phase tACS selectively enhanced theta-band oscillations between the DLPFC and VLPFC. Consistent with Experiment 1, in-phase tACS specifically improved reappraisal performance, as indicated by reduced negative emotional responses, lower regulation difficulty, and a decrease in late positive potential amplitude, with no effect on distraction. This study provides the first causal evidence that enhancing DLPFC-VLPFC synchrony improves reappraisal performance. These findings highlight the potential of neural modulation to optimize brain network connectivity, offering promising avenues for targeted interventions in emotion regulation.

Theories (e.g., constructionist theories of emotion) propose associations with psychological clarity, yet empirical support is limited when examining these constructs globally. We hypothesized that these associations exist at the momentary level and that they are associated with certain individual differences (i.e., life satisfaction, conscientiousness, depression, neuroticism). Using experience sampling methodology, participants (N = 179 adults; Mage = 35.3, SDage = 12.2) reported on six dimensions of interoceptive awareness, as well as emotional clarity and goal clarity five times a day over 14 days. They also completed self-report measures assessing individual differences. We found nearly all measured interoceptive awareness dimensions were independently, positively associated with emotional clarity and goal clarity. These associations were, unexpectedly, strengthened by greater depression and neuroticism and weakened by greater life satisfaction and conscientiousness, suggesting potential implications for the individual differences involved in how people generate, clarify, and understand their emotions and goals. These findings demonstrate dimensions of momentary interoceptive awareness are positively associated with emotional and goal clarity and identify potential mechanisms underlying associations between interoceptive awareness and psychological clarity, including psychological outcomes and personality traits. Individuals with elevated depression or neuroticism may rely more heavily on bottom-up processing to understand their emotions and goals, whereas individuals high in life satisfaction or conscientiousness may be more equipped to use top-down processing for this purpose.

Laboratory-based studies have examined how well individuals can reduce sadness and how this process is affected by psychopathology like depression and cognitive mechanisms like attentional control. However, the extent to which laboratory-based findings inform about the regulation of sadness in daily life is unknown. To examine the ecological validity of laboratory-based mood repair paradigms, we compared mood repair success in the laboratory and daily life (assessed via ecological momentary assessment) among young adults remitted from depression (n = 126) and those never depressed (n = 104). Participants completed an experimental mood repair task followed by a 7-day ecological momentary assessment protocol during which they reported the responses they used to regulate sadness throughout the day. We expected that history of diagnosed depression and attentional control (assessed via a self-report questionnaire) would moderate the relationship between mood repair success in the two settings. Overall, more successful mood repair in the laboratory predicted more successful mood repair in daily life, supporting the ecological validity of laboratory-based information about affective processes. Depression history (but not attentional control) moderated this relationship: Mood repair in the laboratory predicted mood repair in daily life among never-depressed participants, while the association was only at a trend level among those with remitted depression. Thus, the findings raise questions about how the laboratory-based mood repair performance of depression-prone individuals can inform depression-focused conceptual and treatment development.

These relationship costs make it important to identify the contexts in which the use and harmful correlates of expressive suppression are more likely to occur. Building from theory positing that different contexts entail different risks of rejection, we investigated whether expressive suppression was (a) more intense and (b) associated with worse relational outcomes in high-risk than low-risk relationship interaction contexts. 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 (n = 101 couples), expressive suppression was assessed for emotions in general. In Study 2 (n = 130 couples), expressive suppression was assessed for negative and positive emotions separately. 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. The findings suggest that expressive suppression might be harmful regardless of the risk of relationship interactions.

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.

Both were based on self-affirmation theory (Steele, 1988) and sought to help people stay connected with their core values during this stressful time. One intervention was a one-time VA activity in which participants wrote about important values and were reminded of the value of focusing on core values during uncertain times. A second, elaborated version further guided participants to incorporate brief, values-aligned daily activities. A longitudinal randomized controlled experiment conducted in the United States and Italy revealed an upward trend in social belonging and mental health among participants in the VA conditions-a surprising and positive outcome during a time of looming fear. The trajectories of social belonging and meaning were altered in the intervention conditions, yielding immediate benefits, while long-term benefits (4 weeks postintervention) on social belonging and mental health were confined to men, who experienced poorer psychological outcomes as the pandemic progressed. Additionally, socioeconomic status moderated intervention effects on social belonging, primarily benefitting participants of lower socioeconomic status. Surprisingly, culture and other risk factors (e.g., financial impact of COVID-19; living alone) did not moderate intervention effects. Discussion centers on how tailored VAs can interrupt a recursive cycle triggered by threats to self-integrity, and the potential of social psychologically informed interventions for enhancing belonging, meaning and mental health in face of acute stressors.

Men in the sad actor condition exhibited greater engagement (smiled more, gestured more) and their partners showed stronger physiologic linkage than men in the control condition. Conversely, women in the sad actor condition were less expressive than women in the control condition (smiled less), and their partners showed weaker physiologic linkage to them compared to dyads in the control condition.
