Detecting association changes in intensive longitudinal data in real time: An exponentially weighted moving average procedure
Within‐person changes in linear associations may indicate worsening well‐being and maladaptive functioning. We investigated whether such changes can be detected in real time using the exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) procedure. Specifically, we investigated the effectiveness of first calculating association strength within time windows, considering several association measures (i.e. Pearson correlation, Spearman correlation, Pearson c…
Remembering affect between moments: Assessing peak-end effects in continuous affect measures
In experience sampling (ESM) studies, participants are measured repeatedly to track momentary affect changes. The data is collected in specific time intervals, leaving gaps between assessments. To capture affective changes between assessments, we developed a measure where participants retrospectively draw their affect in a continuous drawing. This approach, while more complete, may be influenced by retrospective biases, such as the peak-end effec…
Feasibility of a Novel Open Question Design to Assess Shared Dyadic Events in Daily Life: A Daily Diary Study
In dyadic daily life research, one is interested in how dyads navigate daily life events. A challenge in such research is how to make sure that dyad members report on the same events. We propose a novel open question design in which one dyad partner concisely describes an event; afterwards this description is automatically sent to the other partner by the data collection software. We tested the feasibility of this novel design in a three‐week dai…
Brief Report: Priming Attachment Memories Affects Attachment States of Pre-adolescents
Priming or activating memories of (in)secure interactions with parents is expected to activate in-the-moment attachment feelings (aka state-like attachment, as compared to trait-like attachment). In this study, we tested whether priming secure and avoidant attachment memories affected state attachment security, anxiety, and avoidance and whether prime effects depended on trait attachment in 56 early adolescents (42.9% boys; 57.1% girls) aged 10–1…
How to Capture Synchronization in Triads in One Single Measure: Development of the AMPC Measure and an Associated Significance Test
Interpersonal synchronization is a concept often studied in psychology. Whereas most research focuses on dyads, triadic systems such as family triads warrant increased attention. A crucial challenge in taking a triadic view on synchronization is how to quantify it, since a statistical measure that captures the level of triadic synchronization in one value, while discarding dyadic synchronization only, is lacking so far. The current paper therefor…
Evaluating Contextual Models for Intensive Longitudinal Data in the Presence of Noise
Nowadays research into affect frequently employs intensive longitudinal data to assess fluctuations in daily emotional experiences. The resulting data are often analyzed with moderated autoregressive models to capture the influences of contextual events on the emotion dynamics. The presence of noise (e.g., measurement error) in the measures of the contextual events, however, is commonly ignored in these models. Disregarding noise in these covaria…
The interplay between momentary experienced and verbally expressed negative affect within interactions
Emotions dynamically unfold and are jointly constructed throughout social interactions between individuals. Yet, how exactly the experience and expression of emotions interact throughout such interactions remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the interplay between the experience and verbal expression of negative affect within and between romantic partners during negative interactions. We examined this interplay in terms of fou…
Bouncing back from emotional ups and downs: Insights in emotional recovery using survival analyses of burst ESM data
0.067). These findings were generally robust across different sensitivity analyses. This illustrates how innovative ESM designs combined with time-to-event analyses may further our insight in emotional recovery and the timescale at which it unfolds
Pressure to not feel bad among (different-sex) romantic partners: Prevalence, and Correlates
Western society generally highly values happiness. As a result, people sometimes experience pressure not to feel negative emotions. In this study, we comprehensively investigated this pressure, and how it manifests itself, in adult romantic relationships. Specifically, we first examined when, how often and how intensely people experience pressure not to feel bad from their romantic partners (94 different-sex couples). Additionally, we investigate…
It's a match: Exploring joint emotion regulation profiles among mixed-sex couples
How do couples differ from other couples in how they regulate their own and their partner's emotions? Although research on emotion regulation is blooming, insights into joint emotion regulation profiles-that is, the overlap between partners' specific strategies to regulate themselves and their partner-remain limited. To address this gap, we identified joint intra- and interpersonal emotion regulation profiles in 120 mixed-sex couples; clustering …
Do Minorities’ Friendships with Majority Culture Members and Their Emotional Fit with Majority Culture Influence Each Other Over Time
Immigrant-origin minorities who have majority friends have emotions that fit the majority norm. However, previous research on the link between minorities’ emotional fit and their friendships with majority culture members has been cross-sectional. Hence, little is known about the directionality of the association and whether emotional fit facilitates minority inclusion. In a longitudinal study of 3216 minority and 2283 majority youth, we tested bi…
Attachment and perceptual accuracy of hard and flat partner emotions in everyday life
Perceiving partner emotions accurately is relevant for relationship functioning and may relate to perceivers’ attachment orientations. Here we tested whether attachment anxiety and avoidance affect the perception of a hard and a flat partner emotion which can signal a relationship threat, that is, irritation and indifference towards the partner, and of general affective valence. We assessed whether individuals (1) over‐ or underestimate (directio…
In the Mood: How Sexual Desire Predicts and is Predicted by Romantic Partners’ Mood
The association between mood and sexual desire has been the object of significant scientific and public interest. How mood shapes and is shaped by sexual desire is typically studied within one and the same individual, yet sexual desire is often experienced in the context of a romantic relationship. To obtain a more complete picture of the relation between mood and sexual desire, we examined the temporal interplay between mood and sexual desire bo…
Couple similarity in empathic accuracy and relationship well-being
Are intimate partners similar in how accurately they infer each other's feelings and thoughts, and if so, does this similarity predict their relationship well-being? To answer this question, we analyzed data from two laboratory-based studies ( n = 155 and n = 172 couples) in which couples participated in a conflict interaction task and afterwards reported on their own feelings and thoughts and inferred those of their partner. Relationship well-be…
One Does Not Simply Correct for Serial Dependence
Serial dependence is present in most time series data sets collected in psychological research. This paper investigates the implications of various approaches for handling such serial dependence, when one is interested in the linear effect of a time-varying covariate on the time-varying criterion. Specifically, the serial dependence is either neglected, corrected for by specifying autocorrelated residuals, or modeled by including a lagged version…
Collinearity Issues in Autoregressive Models with Time-Varying Serially Dependent Covariates
First-order autoregressive models are popular to assess the temporal dynamics of a univariate process. Researchers often extend these models to include time-varying covariates, such as contextual factors, to investigate how they moderate processes' dynamics. We demonstrate that doing so has implications for how well one can estimate the autoregressive and covariate effects, as serial dependence in the variables can imply predictor collinearity. T…
Evaluating dynamics in affect structure with latent Markov factor analysis
In intensive longitudinal research, researchers typically consider the structure of affect to be stable across individuals and contexts. Based on an assumed theoretical structure (e.g., one bipolar or two separate positive and negative affect constructs), researchers create affect scores from items (e.g., sum or factor scores) and use them to examine the dynamics therein. However, researchers usually ignore that the affect structure itself is dyn…
Distinguishing dimensions of emotion dynamics across 12 emotions in adolescents’ daily lives
Research on emotion dynamics as indices of emotion functioning has become muddled by conceptual confusion, methodological heterogeneity, and seemingly conflicting results. One way to address this chaos is the study of profiles of emotion dynamics across 12 emotions and how they differ between 246 adolescents. The interpretation of these dynamic profiles was guided by auxiliary variables including age, personality, depressive symptoms, and social …
The Effect of Attachment Priming on State Attachment Security in Middle Childhood: The Moderating Roles of Trait Attachment and State Attachment Volatility
Recent studies showed that attachment security can change within persons, suggesting that there might be an interplay between a rather stable (trait) and rather variable (state) part of attachment. The study’s first aim was to investigate whether attachment priming could influence the level of state attachment. The second aim was to explore possible moderators explaining individual differences in the relation between state attachment responses to…
Associations between affect and empathic accuracy during conflict interactions in couples
The current research examined how intimate partners' affect is related, on a moment-to-moment basis, to their level of empathic accuracy during conflict interactions. To this end, we analyzed data from two laboratory-based studies ( n = 155 and n = 172 couples) in which couples participated in a conflict interaction task, followed immediately by a video-review task during which they reported on their own feelings and thoughts and inferred those o…
PowerLapim: An application to conduct power analysis for linear and quadratic longitudinal actor-partner interdependence models in intensive longitudinal dyadic designs
The longitudinal actor-partner interdependence model (L-APIM) is used to study actor and partner effects, both linear and curvilinear, in dyadic intensive longitudinal data. A burning question is how to conduct power analyses for different L-APIM variants. In this paper, we introduce an accessible power analysis application, called PowerLAPIM, and provide a hands-on tutorial for conducting simulation-based power analyses for 32 L-APIM variants. W…
Introducing change point detection analysis in relationship research: An investigation of couples' emotion dynamics
Many relationship theories assume some form of interdependence between relationship partners. Partners are thought to continuously influence each other and to be influenced by each other over time. These influences are not expected to be constant, but dynamic (sometimes partners influence each other a lot, and sometimes they do not influence each other). To investigate such changes in interpersonal dynamics, we showcase the value of using a chang…
Testing for Factor Loading Differences in Mixture Simultaneous Factor Analysis: A Monte Carlo Simulation-Based Perspective
Factor analysis is ubiquitously applied in behavioral sciences for capturing covariances of observed variables by latent variables (factors). When factor-analyzing data from many groups of subjects, mixture simultaneous factor analysis (MSFA) determines which groups have the same factor model by clustering them based on their factor loadings, factor (co)variances and residual variances. Two Monte Carlo simulations are performed to investigate the…
Perceptual errors are related to shifts in generalization of conditioned responding
Actual and Perceived Emotional Similarity in Couples’ Daily Lives
We used two experience sampling studies to examine whether close romantic partners’ feelings of love and perceived partner responsiveness are better predicted by their actual emotional similarity or by their perceived emotional similarity. Study 1 revealed that the more partners were emotionally similar, the more they perceived their partner as responsive. This effect was mediated by perceived similarity, indicating that emotional similarity had …
The occurrence and correlates of emotional interdependence in romantic relationships
Interdependence, including emotional interdependence, is widely considered to be a cornerstone of close relationships. Through frequent interactions, romantic partners are thought to continuously exchange, influence, and respond to one another's emotions, leading their feelings to become closely aligned over time. Although prior research has shown that such emotional interdependence can arise in couples, no research to date has comprehensively in…
Acculturation of Personality: A Three-Culture Study of Japanese, Japanese Americans, and European Americans
The present study tests the hypothesis that involvement with a new culture instigates changes in personality of immigrants that result in (a) better fit with the norms of the culture of destination and (b) reduced fit with the norms of the culture of origin. Participants were 40 Japanese first-generation immigrants to the United States, 57 Japanese monoculturals, and 60 U.S. monoculturals. All participants completed the Jackson Personality Invent…
Universal Intracultural and Intercultural Dimensions of the Recalled Frequency of Emotional Experience
This study examined the relative contribution and the nature of dimensions underlying intracultural and intercultural differences in the recalled frequency of emotional experience. From 48 nations, 9,300 participants provided self-reports of the frequency of experienced emotions and several other variables relevant to emotional experience. The data were analyzed by means of multilevel component analysis, which decomposes the data into intracultur…
Why I don’t always know what I’m feeling: The role of stress in within-person fluctuations in emotion differentiation
Emotion differentiation, the ability to make fine-grained distinctions between emotional states, has mainly been studied as a trait. In this research, we examine within-person fluctuations in emotion differentiation and hypothesize that stress is a central factor in predicting these fluctuations. We predict that experiencing stress will result in lower levels of emotion differentiation. Using data from a 3-wave longitudinal experience sampling st…
Measuring Religious Attitudes in Secularized Western European Context: A Psychometric Analysis of the Post-Critical Belief Scale
Wulff's two-dimensional model of approaches to religion was an inspiration for the development of the Post-Critical Belief Scale (PCBS), an instrument measuring religious attitudes, that is, “paradigms of religious belief structure” in a secularized Western European context. The scale has been frequently used in psychological studies, has undergone psychometric analyses and modifications, and has been translated into several languages. The curren…
All's well that ends well? A test of the peak‐end rule in couples’ conflict discussions
Despite its importance for well‐being, surprisingly little is known about what determines how couples feel after a conflict. Using the peak‐end rule, we examined whether partners’ post‐conflict affect was mainly predicted by their most aversive or pleasant emotional experience (peaks) during the conflict, or by the emotional tone at the end of the interaction. One hundred and one couples engaged in a conflict interaction and afterwards evaluated …

State attachment variability across distressing situations in middle childhood
Contemporary research suggests that attachment has both a trait‐like, stable component, and a state‐like component that varies across contexts. In the current study, we assessed state attachment variability across comparably distressing situations in middle childhood. In two samples, children reported their expectations of maternal support in each situation. Additionally, we administered trait attachment and psychological well‐being measures. Res…

The impact of emotions on romantic judgments: Sequential effects in a speed-dating study
How do our feelings impact the romantic judgments and decisions we make? In a speed-dating context, where people have to judge potential romantic partners sequentially, we investigated whether and how participants' prior affective state guided romantic desire toward and actual choice for an interaction partner. We found evidence for contrast effects, meaning that romantic judgments contrasted with the affective states participants were in at the …

The role of valence focus and appraisal overlap in emotion differentiation
Emotion differentiation refers to the level of specificity with which people distinguish between their emotional states and is considered to play an important role for psychological well-being. Yet, not much is known about what characterizes people high or low in emotion differentiation and what underlies these differences. In 2 studies involving experience sampling (Studies 1-2) and lab based (Study 2) methods, we investigated how emotion differ…
Feeling Me, Feeling You: The Relation Between Emotion Differentiation and Empathic Accuracy
Does knowing your own emotions relate to knowing those of others? We argue that our ability to experience and label our own emotions in a differentiated and specific manner is related to the ability to accurately perceive the level of emotions in others. In an experience sampling study among romantic couples, we tested the hypothesis that individuals with higher levels of emotion differentiation are characterized by higher levels of empathic accu…
Using Raw VAR Regression Coefficients to Build Networks can be Misleading
Many questions in the behavioral sciences focus on the causal interplay of a number of variables across time. To reveal the dynamic relations between the variables, their (auto- or cross-) regressive effects across time may be inspected by fitting a lag-one vector autoregressive, or VAR(1), model and visualizing the resulting regression coefficients as the edges of a weighted directed network. Usually, the raw VAR(1) regression coefficients are d…
Partner-expected affect: How you feel now is predicted by how your partner thought you felt before
Romantic partners can modulate each other's emotions in many ways, resulting in interwoven emotional lives. Here, building on findings from basic psychological research, we propose a novel way of such interconnectedness, termed partner-expected affect, in which perceptions of a partner's feelings may positively predict how this partner will actually feel at a later moment in time. We evaluated this hypothesis by means of an experience sampling st…
Improved Insight into and Prediction of Network Dynamics by Combining VAR and Dimension Reduction
To understand within-person psychological processes, one may fit VAR(1) models (or continuous-time variants thereof) to multivariate time series and display the VAR(1) coefficients as a network. This approach has two major problems. First, the contemporaneous correlations between the variables will frequently be substantial, yielding multicollinearity issues. In addition, the shared effects of the variables are not included in the network. Conseq…
Beyond essentialism: Cultural differences in emotions revisited
The current research offers an alternative to essentialism for studying cultural variation in emotional experience. Rather than assuming that individuals always experience an emotion in the same way, our starting point was that the experience of an emotion like anger or shame may vary from one instance to another. We expected to find different anger and shame experience types, that is, groups of people who differ in the instances of anger and sha…

Parenting Styles: A Closer Look at a Well-Known Concept
Although parenting styles constitute a well-known concept in parenting research, two issues have largely been overlooked in existing studies. In particular, the psychological control dimension has rarely been explicitly modelled and there is limited insight into joint parenting styles that simultaneously characterize maternal and paternal practices and their impact on child development. Using data from a sample of 600 Flemish families raising an …
The relation between positive and negative affect becomes more negative in response to personally relevant events
Can we experience positive (PA) and negative affect (NA) separately (i.e., affective independence), or do these emotional states represent the mutually exclusive ends of a single bipolar continuum (i.e., affective bipolarity)? Building on previous emotion theories, we propose that the relation between PA and NA is not invariable, but rather fluctuates in response to changing situational demands. Specifically, we argue that our affective system sh…
