What Role Does Emotional Granularity Play in Adolescent Depression and Anxiety? A Scoping Review
INTRODUCTION: Mental health problems are most prevalent during adolescence. Emotional granularity, the ability to identify distinctions between different emotion states in our mental experience, is said to contribute to the onset and maintenance of depression and anxiety in adults, through the evidence for its role in adolescent depression and anxiety is less well established. Theoretically, better emotional granularity facilitates adaptive selec…
Affective abstraction predicts variation in alexithymia, depression, and autism spectrum quotient
Affective abstraction refers to how people conceptualize affective states in terms of category-level representations that generalize across specific situations (e.g., "fear" as evoked by heights, predators, and haunted houses). Here, we develop a novel task for assessing affective abstraction and test its relations with trait alexithymia, depression, and autism spectrum quotient. In a preregistered online study, participants completed a set of ta…
Emotion word production tasks grant insight into the development of emotion word organization and accessibility
Children are often instructed to "use their words" to communicate their emotions, which requires them to quickly access words that best describe their feelings. Adults vary in their ability to bring both nonemotion and emotion words to mind (two capacities called verbal fluency and emotion fluency ). However, no studies have examined how emotion fluency emerges across development, despite the fact that mastering emotion language is an important d…
Peer threat evaluations shape one’s own threat perceptions and feelings of distress
We are continuously exposed to what others think and feel about content online. How do others' evaluations shared in this medium influence our own beliefs and emotional responses? In two pre-registered studies, we investigated the social transmission of threat and safety evaluations in a paradigm that mimicked online social media platforms. In Study 1 (N = 103), participants viewed images and indicated how distressed they made them feel. Particip…
How first- and second-language emotion words influence emotion perception in Swedish–English bilinguals
Emotional experiences are often dulled in one's second language. We tested whether emotion concepts are more strongly associated with first language (L1) than second language (L2) emotion words. Participants (140 L1-Swedish–L2-English bilinguals) saw a facial expression of an emotion (cue) followed by a target, which could either be another facial expression, an L1 emotion word, or an L2 emotion word. Participants indicated whether the cue and ta…
Perceptual sensitivity to labeling stereotyped emotion expressions
This study investigates (a) age-related differences in how the intensity of stereotyped facial expressions influence the emotion label children, adolescents, and adults assign to that face and (b) how this perceptual sensitivity relates to subclinical symptoms of psychopathology. In 2015-2016, 184 participants aged 4-25 years viewed posed stereotypes of angry, fearful, sad, and happy expressions morphed with neutral expressions at 10%-90% intensi…
Fluency generating emotion words correlates with verbal measures but not emotion regulation, alexithymia, or depressive symptoms
How do you feel? To answer this question, one must first think of potential emotion words before choosing the best fit. However, we have little insight into how the ability to rapidly bring to mind emotion words-emotion fluency-relates to emotion functioning or general verbal abilities. In this study, we measured emotion fluency by counting how many emotion words participants could generate in 60 s. Participants ( N = 151 in 2011-2012) also compl…
Affective language spreads between anxious children and their mothers during a challenging puzzle task
Humans influence each other's emotions. The spread of emotion is well documented across behavioral, psychophysiological, and neuroscientific levels of analysis, but might this influence also be evident in language (e.g., are people more likely to use emotion words after hearing someone else use them)? The current study tests whether mothers and children influence each other's use of affective language. From 2018 to 2020, children aged 6-12 who me…
Use of linguistic distancing and cognitive reappraisal strategies during emotion regulation in children, adolescents, and young adults
Regulating one's emotions is an important psychological skill at all ages. Cognitive reappraisal-changing the meaning of a stimulus to alter its emotional impact-is an effective emotion regulation technique. Prior work shows that adults spontaneously reduce their use of present tense verbs and first-person singular pronouns (e.g., I, me, mine ) when engaging in cognitive reappraisal, a linguistic shift that is thought to track increased psycholog…
Charting the development of emotion comprehension and abstraction from childhood to adulthood using observer-rated and linguistic measures
This study examined two facets of emotion development: emotion word comprehension (knowing the meaning of emotion words such as "anger" or "excitement") and emotion concept abstraction (representing emotions in terms of internal psychological states that generalize across situations). Using a novel emotion vocabulary assessment, we captured how a cross-sectional sample of participants aged 4-25 ( N = 196) defined 24 emotions. Smoothing spline reg…
Increasing verbal knowledge mediates development of multidimensional emotion representations
A new look at emotion perception
Decades ago, the "New Look" movement challenged how scientists thought about vision by suggesting that conceptual processes shape visual perceptions. Currently, affective scientists are likewise debating the role of concepts in emotion perception. Here, we utilized a repetition-priming paradigm in conjunction with signal detection and individual difference analyses to examine how providing emotion labels-which correspond to discrete emotion conce…
