  • Is seeing believing? Linking fixation bias and flexibility with interpretation flexibility

    Wisteria Deng, Yannick Vander Zwalmen et al.ARTICLECognition & Emotion2026

    BACKGROUND: Interpretation flexibility allows individuals to update their interpretations of ambiguous information as new evidence becomes available. Attention allocation to novel information underlies interpretation flexibility. This study examined links between interpretation flexibility and attentional allocation to newly revealed information using eye-tracking metrics of fixation bias and fixation flexibility. METHOD: = 90) viewed ambiguous i…

  • Relationship between rumination and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder – a cross-sectional network analysis

    Open AccessOlena Zhabenko, Ziv Ben-Zion et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2026

    Background Rumination is associated with the development and maintenance of PTSD. However, significant gaps remain in understanding how specific PTSD symptoms relate to rumination at a granular level, particularly when controlling for common comorbidities like depression and anxiety. This study used multi-level network analysis to examine these relationships in adult survivors of traumatic events. Methods Six hundred sixty-one adult survivors (me…

  • Changes in emotional granularity under a population‐level stressor predict social anxiety and depressive symptoms

    Open AccessSihan Liu, Reut Zabag et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence2026References: 3

    Emotional granularity, reflecting the specificity with which individuals distinguish their emotional experiences, is crucial to emotional well-being. This study examined whether emotional granularity predicts adolescents' social anxiety and depressive symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 140 adolescents (M age = 11.91) reported daily emotions for 21-28 days at three timepoints: before the pandemic, during the acute phase, and 1 year …

  • Social reorientation of emotion regulation: Changing roles of family and peers during adolescence

    Open AccessErica J Ho, Jutta Joormann et al.ARTICLEEmotion2025

    The emotional climate of the family and peer group is theorized to play a central role in the development of emotion regulation (ER) in children and adolescents, such that warmer, more supportive environments promote more effective ER. However, most studies demonstrating associations between social interactions and ER use have focused on individual differences in the regulation of negative affect. This study is the first to investigate whether so…

  • Networks of guilt, shame, pride, and disordered eating in youths show stability over time

    Open AccessChelsea Uddenberg, J Everaert et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence2025References: 3

    Recent literature suggests that self-conscious emotions (i.e., shame, guilt, and pride) play an important role in increasing the risk for disordered eating behaviors and cognitions. Despite the increasing frequency and intensity of self-conscious emotions and of disordered eating behaviors and cognitions during childhood and adolescence, little is known about how self-conscious emotions are related to disordered eating during this age, or how sta…

  • The mindful gaze: Trait mindful people under an instructed emotion regulation goal selectively attend to positive stimuli

    Hannah Raila, Annabel Bouwer et al.ARTICLECognition & Emotion2024

    Trait mindfulness confers emotional benefits and encourages skillful emotion regulation, in part because it helps people more deliberately attend to internal experiences and external surroundings. Such heightened attentional control might help skillfully deploy one's attention towards certain kinds of stimuli, which may in turn help regulate emotions, but this remains unknown. Testing how trait mindful people deploy attention when regulating thei…

  • Examining the association among adolescents’ emotional clarity, emotion differentiation, and the regulation of negative and positive affect using a daily diary approach

    Open AccessNicola Hohensee, Jutta Joormann et al.ARTICLEEmotion2024

    Emotional clarity and emotion differentiation (ED) are two core aspects of the application of emotional knowledge. During adolescence, novel emotional experiences result in temporary decreases of differentiation and clarity. These temporary difficulties might profoundly impact choices of regulatory strategies. And indeed, prior research has shown that lower emotional clarity and emotion differentiation are each associated with higher use of putat…

  • Post-traumatic stress and future substance use outcomes: Leveraging antecedent factors to stratify risk

    Open AccessHenri M Garrison‐Desany, Jacquelyn L Meyers et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2024

    PTSD symptoms were highly associated with tobacco and alcohol use, while the association with prospective cannabis use is not clear. Findings suggest that understanding the different risk stratification that occurs can aid in tailoring interventions to populations at greatest risk to best mitigate the comorbidity between PTSD symptoms and future substance use outcomes. We demonstrate that this is particularly salient for tobacco use and, to some …

  • The development of a novel scale to assess intra- and interpersonal emotion regulation strategies: The Emotion Regulation Strategy Scale (ERSS)

    Elizabeth T Kneeland, Aleena Hay et al.ARTICLEEmotion2024

    Existing emotion regulation research focuses on how individuals use different strategies to manage their own emotions-also called intra-personal emotion regulation. However, people often leverage connections with others to regulate their own emotions-interpersonal emotion regulation. The goal of the present studies was to develop a comprehensive and efficient scale-the Emotion Regulation Strategies Scale (ERSS)-to assess nine specific emotion reg…

  • Cognitive–emotional impairments in euthymic bipolar disorder—New insights into emotion regulation and cognitive control deficits

    Elena Seelig, Jutta Joormann et al.ARTICLEEmotion2024

    Bipolar disorder (BD) is assumed to be a disorder of emotion regulation (ER), with the most prominent endophenotype being deficient cognitive control (CC). However, the nature of ER and CC deficits and specifically their association in BD has not been adequately examined. Therefore, the present study examines different aspects of ER and CC within n = 32 euthymic patients with BD and n = 32 healthy controls (HCs). Besides self-reported habitual us…

  • Interpersonal emotion regulation and depressive symptoms in parent–adolescent dyads: A daily-diary investigation

    Open AccessReuma Gadassi Polack, Marcia Questel et al.ARTICLEEmotion2024

    Deficient parental extrinsic interpersonal emotion regulation (IER, how people regulate others' emotions) is a known risk factor for adolescent depression. Although IER and depression development are transactional, dyadic processes, previous work has almost exclusively focused on how parental IER is associated with adolescent depression. The association between parental IER and adolescent depression, and the associations between adolescent IER an…

  • Dynamics between affect and social acceptance as a function of social anxiety: A person-specific network approach

    Open AccessKelley E Gunther, Audrey Edelman et al.ARTICLEEmotion2024

    Social acceptance and rejection are salient experiences, especially during adolescence. Acceptance and rejection relate to changes in positive and negative affect, although directionality of the relation remains unclear. The ability to regulate affect following social experiences may be part of the etiology of social anxiety disorder. With the importance of social cues in adolescence, as well as adolescence as a key window for the onset of social…

  • Longitudinal associations between five factor model and impulsive personality traits and PTSD symptoms: Findings from the Aurora study

  • Interpretation inflexibility and negative social impression in paranoia

    Open AccessWisteria Deng, Jutta Joormann et al.ARTICLECurrent Psychology2023

  • Social Interpretation Inflexibility and Functioning: Associations with Symptoms and Stress

    Wisteria Deng, J Everaert et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Clinical…2023

    Introduction: Interpretation inflexibility has been implicated in a range of mental health problems, including depression, social anxiety, and paranoia. Inflexible interpretation of social situations may be particularly important as it can set the stage for problems in social functioning, a symptom cutting across all three groups of disorders. Methods: This study aimed to examine the interrelations among interpretation inflexibility, social funct…

  • Social impression formation and depression: Examining cognitive flexibility and bias

    Wisteria Deng, Tyrone D Cannon et al.ARTICLECognition & Emotion2023

    Depression is associated with a bias toward negative interpretations of social situations and resistance to integrating evidence consistent with positive interpretations. These features could contribute to social isolation by generating negative expected value for future social interactions. The present study examined potential associations between depressive symptoms and positive (i.e. trust and liking) and negative (i.e. distrust and disliking)…

  • Empathy is associated with interpersonal emotion regulation goals in everyday life

    Eva Johanna Geiger, Luise Pruessner et al.ARTICLEEmotion2023

    Responding to the emotions of the people around us is a phenomenon traversing human lives; however, research has only recently started exploring the predictors of interpersonal emotion regulation (IER). In two ecological momentary assessment studies conducted in 2021 and 2022, we tested whether facets of empathy (i.e., mentalizing, experience sharing, empathic concern, and personal distress) are associated with other-focused IER goals and their a…

  • Learned helplessness: Expanding on a goal-directed perspective

    Jessica M Duda, Jutta JoormannARTICLECognition & Emotion2022

    Combining operant and goal-directed perspectives, Boddez et al. suggest that helplessness stems from a lack of reinforcement when striving toward a goal, with the degree of generalisation dependent on subjective perceptions of goal similarity. We begin by reviewing the theoretical model, describe possible expansions from a cognitive perspective, and discuss several considerations. We finish with a brief discussion of possible directions for futur…

  • Seeing red: Distraction influences visual attention for anger but not for other negative emotions

    Ashleigh Rutherford, Hannah Raila et al.ARTICLEEmotion2022

    Emotion regulation is a vital skill that improves psychological well-being and overall functioning. Distraction (the purposeful internal disengagement from an emotional stimulus) and cognitive reappraisal (the process of changing one's thoughts about an emotional event/stimulus) are two well-established regulation strategies that can effectively decrease negative affect. Less understood, however, are the attention allocation strategies that occur…

  • A meta-analytic review of the relationship between explicit memory bias and depression: Depression features an explicit memory bias that persists beyond a depressive episode

    Open AccessJ Everaert, Janna N Vrijsen et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin2022

    Emotional bias in explicit memory is theorized to play a prominent role in the etiology, maintenance, and recurrence of depression. Even though this cognitive bias is regarded as one of the most robust phenomena in depression, its magnitude and boundary conditions in depression are currently unknown. This review presents two three-level meta-analyses to estimate the overall effect size and identify moderators of explicit memory bias in depression…

  • Mental health and clinical psychological science in the time of Covid-19: Challenges, opportunities, and a call to action.

    June Gruber, Mitchell J Prinstein et al.ARTICLEAmerican Psychologist2021

  • The Future of Women in Psychological Science

    Open AccessJune Gruber, Jane Mendle et al.ARTICLEPerspectives on Psychological…2021

    There has been extensive discussion about gender gaps in representation and career advancement in the sciences. However, psychological science itself has yet to be the focus of discussion or systematic review, despite our field’s investment in questions of equity, status, well-being, gender bias, and gender disparities. In the present article, we consider 10 topics relevant for women’s career advancement in psychological science. We focus on issu…

  • Positive emotion in daily life: Emotion regulation and depression

    W Michael Vanderlind, J Everaert et al.ARTICLEEmotion2021

    Depression is associated with the infrequent use of emotion regulation strategies that increase positive emotion and the frequent use of strategies that decrease positive emotion. However, prior research mostly relies on global, retrospective assessments that fail to capture dynamic relations between positive emotion and emotion regulation in ecologically valid settings. This study used an ecological momentary assessment (EMA) design to test whet…

  • Emotion regulation and self-criticism in children and adolescence: Longitudinal networks of transdiagnostic risk factors

    Open AccessReuma Gadassi Polack, J Everaert et al.ARTICLEEmotion2021

    Adolescence is a time of heightened risk for the development of psychopathology. Difficulties in emotion regulation and heightened levels of self-criticism are two processes that have been proposed as critical risk factors. Considering the accumulating evidence that risk factors rarely work in isolation, there is a pressing need to examine how self-criticism and emotion regulations strategies interact. The present study utilizes a network analysi…

  • Predicting Negative and Positive Affect During Covid‐19: A Daily Diary Study in Youths

    Open AccessWisteria Deng, Reuma Gadassi Polack et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence2021Cited by: 3References: 6

    The COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to profoundly affect youths' mental health. Understanding predictors of affective responding to the pandemic is critical for prevention and intervention efforts. This study examines emotion regulation as an important predictor of youth's changes in positive and negative affect. The present study of 115 participants (62 girls, M age = 11.77) explores the relation between pre-existing emotion regulation strat…
