  • Age differences in emotion regulation during ongoing affective life

    Open AccessAlicia Puente-Martínez, Zvjezdana Prizmic-Larsen et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2021Citada por: 1

    A well-documented finding in aging and emotion research is that older adults reliably report less negative and, often, more positive affect than younger adults. How older people accomplish this is, however, an open question. We propose that this age effect is the result of differential use of emotion regulation strategies, especially when affective states call for them. We assessed a wide range of emotion regulation strategies over 2 months of da…

  • Affect Is Greater Than, Not Equal to, Condition

    Open AccessAdam A Augustine, Randy J Larsen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality2013

    Affective primes may impact ensuing behavior through condition and person effects. However, previous research has not experimentally disentangled these two sources of influence in affective priming paradigms. In the current research, we simultaneously examine the influence of condition factors, in terms of prime valence, and person factors, in terms of affect reactivity and personality. In both studies, undergraduate participants (total N = 174) …

  • A Positivity Bias in Written and Spoken English and Its Moderation by Personality and Gender

    Open AccessAdam A Augustine, Matthias R Mehl et al.ARTICLESocial Psychological and…2011

    The human tendency to use positive words (“adorable”) more often than negative words (“dreadful”) is called the linguistic positivity bias. We find evidence for this bias in two studies of word use, one based on written corpora and another based on naturalistic speech samples. In addition, we demonstrate that the positivity bias applies to nouns and verbs as well as adjectives. We also show that it is found to the same degree in written as well a…

  • Affect regulation and temporal discounting

    Adam A Augustine, Randy J LarsenARTICLEEmotion2011

    Previous research has largely focused on the influence of experienced affect on decision making; however, other sources of affective information may also shape decisions. In two studies, we examine the interacting influences of affective information, state affect, and personality on temporal discounting rates (i.e., the tendency to choose small rewards today rather than larger rewards in the future). In Study 1, participants were primed with eith…

  • Cross-modal evaluative priming

    Laura D Scherer, Randy J LarsenARTICLEEmotion2011

    Cross-modal priming occurs when a prime presented in one sensory modality influences responses to a target in a different sensory modality. Currently, demonstrations of cross-modal evaluative priming have been sparse and limited. In the present study, we seek to partially rectify this state of affairs by examining cross-modal evaluative priming from auditory primes to visual targets. Significant cross-modal priming effects were found, but only fo…

  • Not all negative words slow down lexical decision and naming speed

    Randy J Larsen, Kimberly A Mercer et al.ARTICLEEmotion2008

    Previously the authors analyzed sets of words used in emotion Stroop experiments and found little evidence of automatic vigilance, for example, slower lexical decision time (LDT) or naming speed for negative words after controlling for lexical features. If there is a slowdown evoked by word negativity, most studies to date overestimate the effect because word negativity is often confounded with lexical features that promote slower word recognitio…

  • The Power of Personality in Discriminating Between Healthy Aging and Early-Stage Alzheimer's Disease

    Janet M Duchek, David A Balota et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2007Citada por: 6Referencias: 6

    This study examined differences in personality in the earliest stages of dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT) relative to healthy aging, and the power of personality in discriminating healthy aging from early-stage DAT. Four groups of participants (middle-aged controls, older controls, persons with very mild DAT, and persons with mild DAT) and their families were administered Costa and McCrae's NEO Five-Factor Inventory. On the basis of both self…

  • The Dynamics of Empirically Derived Factors in the Therapeutic Relationship

    Open AccessEric J Nuetzel, Randy J Larsen et al.ARTICLEJournal of the American…2007Citada por: 1Referencias: 17

    The therapeutic relationship is the source of major concepts in psychoanalytic clinical theory. Such concepts as resistance, transference, countertransference, and the alliance are fundamental, even though there may be shifts in meaning between theoretical schools and clinical contexts. In the clinical psychoanalytic literature, disagreement exists over the nature of the alliance and its essential components. Empirical studies using reliable pati…

  • Affective Reactivity in Language

    Jennifer A Burbridge, Randy J Larsen et al.ARTICLEEmotion2005

    Several studies have found that individuals with schizophrenia and their relatives, as well as healthy controls, exhibit greater language disturbance when discussing affectively negative as compared to positive or neutral topics. The goal of this study was to test the hypothesis that negative emotion impairs language production, at least in part by increasing physiological arousal. The authors had 35 healthy adults produce speech in response to a…

  • A Half Century of Mate Preferences

    Open AccessDavid M Bu, T K Shackelford et al.ARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family2001Citada por: 100Referencias: 9

    The qualities people believe are important in selecting a marriage partner afford one domain for assessing human values. We examined the cultural evolution of these values over more than half a century. Building on existing data on mate preferences collected in 1939 (N= 628), 1956 (N= 120), 1967 (N= 566), and 1977 (N= 316), we collected data using the same instrument in 1984/1985 (N= 1,496) and in 1996 (N= 607) at geographically diverse locations…

  • Toward a Science of Mood Regulation

    Randy J LarsenARTICLEPsychological Inquiry2000

    Mood is distinguished from emotion, and mood regulation is distinguished from coping. A model of mood regulation is presented which draws on principles of control theory, which distinguishes between maximizing pleasure and minimizing psychic pain, and which emphasizes individual differences in several component subprocesses. A preliminary taxonomy of strategies and behaviors for remediating unpleasant affect is presented. Important topics for fut…

  • Susceptibility to Affect

    Open AccessJohn M Zelenski, Randy J LarsenARTICLEJournal of Personality1999

    This study had three major goals: to clarify the relationships between Eysenck’s, Gray’s, and Cloninger’s personality taxonomies, to show that traits from these taxonomies predict differential sensitivities to emotional states, and to explore the relationship between sensitivity to an emotional state and how much that state is actually experienced. A factor analysis of traits from Eysenck’s, Gray’s, and Cloninger’s personality taxonomies resulted…

  • Diurnal Patterns of Unpleasant Mood

    Open AccessCheryl L Rusting, Randy J LarsenARTICLEJournal of Personality1998

    The literature on symptoms of depression has included diurnal changes in mood. The morning‐worse pattern is commonly mentioned. This pattern is often associated with endogenous or vegetative symptoms (e.g., weight and appetite loss, loss of pleasure, psychomotor retardation). However, depression researchers have also identified an evening‐worse pattern of mood. This pattern is sometimes thought to be associated with milder depressive symptoms, an…

  • Facial asymmetry as an indicator of psychological, emotional, and physiological distress

    T K Shackelford, Randy J LarsenARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…1997Citada por: 22

    Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) is deviation from bilateral symmetry in morphological traits with asymmetry values that are normally distributed with a mean of 0. FA is produced by genetic or environmental perturbations of developmental design and may play a role in human sexual selection. K. Grammer and R. Thornhill (1994) found that facial FA negatively covaries with observer ratings of attractiveness, dominance, sexiness, and health. Using self-rep…

  • Affect Intensity and Individual Differences In Informational Style

    Open AccessRandy J Larsen, Douglas W Billings et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality1996

    Although individuals differ widely in the typical intensity of their affective experience, the mechanisms that create or maintain these differences are unclear. Larsen, Diener, and Cropanzano (1987) examined the hypothesis that individual differences in affect intensity (AI) are related to how people interpret emotional stimuli. They found that high AI individuals engaged in more personalizing and generalizing cognitions while construing emotiona…

  • Personality Correlates of Individual Differences in Electrodermal Lability

    Open AccessMaribel H Cruz, Randy J LarsenARTICLESocial Behavior and Personality…1995

    This study examined relationships between individual differences in the spontaneous fluctuation rate of electrodermal activity (EDA lability) and a battery of personality measures. In contrast to previous work, which emphasizes cognitive correlates of EDA lability, in this study a broad-band personality inventory and specific emotion-relevant personality dispositions were administered. A sample of 62 male and female undergraduates completed a bat…

  • Sex Differences in Jealousy

    Open AccessDavid M Bu, David M Buss et al.ARTICLEPsychological Science1992

    In species with internal female fertilization, males risk both lowered paternity probability and investment in rival gametes if their mates have sexual contact with other males. Females of such species do not risk lowered maternity probability through partner infidelity, but they do risk the diversion of their mates' commitment and resources to rival females. Three studies tested the hypothesis that sex differences in jealousy emerged in humans a…
