Higher loneliness is associated with greater positive and negative emotion instability in everyday life
Loneliness is linked to a wide range of negative outcomes, including worse emotional well-being. Although prior research has demonstrated the relationship between loneliness and typical levels of negative and positive emotions, the degree to which loneliness is associated with emotional instability, a potential indicator of unhealthy patterns of emotional experiences, is unknown. We evaluated whether individual differences in loneliness were rela…
Experimental Therapeutics: Opportunities and Challenges Stemming From the National Institute of Mental Health Workshop on Novel Target Discovery and Psychosocial Intervention Development
There has been slow progress in the development of interventions that prevent and/or reduce mental-health morbidity and mortality. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) launched an experimental-therapeutics initiative with the goal of accelerating the development of effective interventions. The emphasis is on interventions designed to engage a target mechanism. A target mechanism is a process (e.g., behavioral, neurobiological) proposed …
“There’s no one as honest as those in pain”: The language of Tom Petty’s song lyrics
Tom Petty’s songs are among the most recognized and influential in rock music. One aspect of Petty’s songs that contributes to his popularity is his use of language in his lyrics. The current study performed two sets of analyses: (a) to examine linguistic features of Petty’s song lyrics over the course of his songwriting career; and (b) to investigate similarities and differences between Petty’s lyrics and the earlier and contemporaneous lyrics o…
What happens at night? Differentiating within-day and overnight affective inertia
Affective inertia - the degree to which affect persists over time - has, for example, been linked with neuroticism, depressive symptoms, and increased distress. The typical statistical approaches modelling affective inertia as autoregression largely ignore that assessment periods covering several days also include overnight intervals which may bias affective inertia. In this study, we thus aimed to test (1) whether affective inertia differs withi…
Daily loneliness deconstructed: Examining patterns of within- and between-person variation
There is growing interest in examining loneliness using intensive repeated assessment methods in daily life; however, much remains unknown regarding variation in loneliness at the within- and between-person level. Better characterizing dynamic daily experiences of loneliness will help clarify the nature of loneliness experiences that may be indicative of current and future risk for chronic loneliness and provide information to inform future study…
Modifiable risk factors for hypertensive disorders in pregnancy
Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDPs) are the leading causes of maternal mortality and morbidity. This study explored whether micronutrient intake and psychological distress were associated with HDPs. Micronutrients include folate and vitamin B12. Psychological distress refers to perceived stress, prenatal distress, and prenatal depression. HDPs were defined as systolic blood pressure (BP) ≥ 130 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥ 80 mmHg. Data were coll…
Factors associated with micronutrient intake of low-income overweight or obese young mothers
We examined the proportion of the low-income overweight or obese mothers meeting micronutrient recommendations, and whether race, education and body mass index category (BMIc) were associated with micronutrient intake. This analysis included 198 women who completed a validated food frequency questionnaire. Micronutrients were grouped: antioxidant (vitamins A, C, and E, as well as copper, selenium, and zinc), methylation (vitamins B2, B3, B6, B9, …
A population-based investigation of participation rate and self-selection bias in momentary data capture and survey studies
Participant selection bias is of concern to researchers conducting surveys of all types. For momentary data capture studies, such as Ecological Momentary Assessment, the level of burden associated with these techniques and the possibility of low uptake rates makes the concerns especially salient. This study invited 3,000 individuals to participate in a study of health and mood and recorded the uptake rates at various points in the process. Respon…

“And you don't like, don't like the way I talk”: Authenticity in the language of bruce springsteen
Computing Components of Everyday Stress Responses: Exploring Conceptual Challenges and New Opportunities
Repeated assessments in everyday life enables collecting ecologically valid data on dynamic, within-persons processes. These methods have widespread utility and application and have been extensively used for the study of stressors and stress responses. Enhanced conceptual sophistication of characterizing intraindividual stress responses in everyday life would help advance the field. This article provides a pragmatic overview of approaches, opport…
Cost-effectiveness of Lifestyle Africa: An adaptation of the diabetes prevention programme for delivery by community health workers in urban South Africa
Background Lifestyle Africa is an adapted version of the Diabetes Prevention Program designed for delivery by community health workers to socioeconomically disadvantaged populations in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Results from the Lifestyle Africa trial conducted in an under-resourced community in South Africa indicated that the programme had a significant effect on reducing haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c).Objective To estimate the cost of i…
Introversion and the frequency and intensity of daily uplifts and hassles
OBJECTIVE: There is reason to believe that introversion may relate to different patterns of negative and positive experiences in everyday life ("hassles" and "uplifts"), but there is little evidence for this based on reports made in daily life as events occur. We thus extend the literature by using data from ecological momentary assessments to examine whether introversion is associated with either the frequency or intensity of hassles and uplifts…
Implementing text-messaging to support and enhance delivery of health behavior change interventions in low- to middle-income countries: Case study of the Lifestyle Africa intervention
The prevalence of non-communicable diseases, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, is rising in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Health behavior change (HBC) interventions such as the widely used Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) are effective at reducing chronic disease risk, but have not been adapted for LMICs. Leveraging mobile health (mHealth) technology such as text messaging (SMS) to enhance reach and participant engagement …
Between-Person and Daily Within-Person Variation Patterns in Measures of Views of Aging
Analyses suggest relative stability in daily measures of VOA over a 1-week period. Further study of measures (and age groups) showing greater within-person variability (evidenced by lower ratios of between-person to within-person variation) can increase understanding about constructs with greater sensitivity to fluctuating contexts. It can also inform future work linking VOA to other phenomenon in daily life
Lower SES PhD students experience interpersonal disconnection from others both inside and outside of academia
Students from lower socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds can experience stigma in undergraduate educational settings but little research on this topic has been conducted at the PhD level. Lower‐SES PhD students may feel lower levels of social integration as they experience incidents of interpersonal disconnection from others inside and outside of academia. Interpersonal disconnection may be a mechanism by which lower‐SES leads to a lower sense …
Within‐person effects of inclusion and exclusion on well‐being in daily life
Whether exclusion hurts or inclusion feels good is debated within social psychology, and research designs often compare people who are excluded from those who are included. Here, we examined how participants differ when they are excluded or included relative to when they are not engaging in social interactions. Participants completed an ecological momentary assessment study (7 days, six measures a day). Participants indicated if they were having …
Stressor anticipation and subsequent affective well-being: A link potentially explained by perseverative cognitions
Anticipatory stress can prospectively and negatively influence diverse outcomes, including cognitive performance and emotional well-being. It has been suggested that perseverative cognitions (e.g., worry, rumination) during the anticipation period constitute a key mechanism driving these effects. The present study investigated the temporal dynamics among stressor anticipation, perseverative cognitions, and affective well-being. To accurately test…
Stress-responses to ostracism: Examining cortisol and affective reactivity to in-person and online exclusion
Ostracism is associated with poor outcomes, but it is unclear if online versus in-person ostracism elicits divergent psychological and physiological responses. Participants ( N = 54) were randomly assigned to online or in-person ostracism, and provided pre- and post-ostracism measures of affect, self-esteem, self-feelings, and salivary cortisol. No significant changes in negative affect, self-esteem, or self-feelings emerged, nor were there diffe…
Experiences of weight stigma in everyday life: An ecological momentary assessment study
Weight stigma and discrimination have been linked to negative health outcomes. Most research on this topic is retrospective, which may not accurately capture day-to-day experiences. The current used ecological momentary assessment to examine weight stigma and discrimination in everyday life. Participants answered ecological momentary assessments about the nature, frequency, and contextual details of weight stigma and discrimination. Over the cour…
Learning to BREATHE “Plus”: A Multi-Modal Adaptive Supplement to an Evidence-Based Mindfulness Intervention for Adolescents
Incorporating technological supplements into existing group mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs), particularly for use with adolescents, is an important next step in the implementation of MBIs. Yet there is little available content. Herein we present the development and content of a technological supplement for MBIs, which incorporates multiple technological elements to support (a) skill transfer from the group MBI to daily life, (b) the establ…
Stress and Physical Activity in Rural Cancer Survivors: The Moderating Role of Social Support
PURPOSE: Social support (SS) has been shown to moderate the relationship between psychological distress and physical activity (PA) in adults, including those with no history of cancer and cancer survivors (CS). The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between stress and leisure-time PA and test if SS is a moderator of this relationship in rural CS. METHODS: CS were recruited to Partnering to Prevent and Control Cancer (PPCC) and …
Does Chronic Stress Moderate Age Differences in Emotional Well-Being? Testing Predictions of Strength and Vulnerability Integration
Our findings support a key prediction of SAVI by demonstrating that high levels of chronic stress present a boundary condition for favorable age gradients on well-being. We discuss the implications of these findings for understanding the "paradox" of well-being
How was your day? Convergence of aggregated momentary and retrospective end-of-day affect ratings across the adult life span
175, 20-79 years) revealed (a) a memory-experience gap for negative affect (more intense retrospective ratings than aggregated momentary ratings) that is attenuated with advancing age; (b) only a small memory-experience gap for positive affect for very old adults (66-79 years), but not younger adults; (c) relatively high convergence of aggregated momentary ratings and retrospective ratings despite (d) small biases of retrospective negative affect…
Unique relations between post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms and patient functioning in type 2 diabetes
This study examined reported post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms in adults with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes who had no history of psychiatric diagnosis or treatment ( n = 184, MHbA1c = 9.13%, standard deviation = 1.68). Participants reported moderate to severe intensity of post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms ( M = 19.17, SD = 17.58). Together, depressive and post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms accounted for 10-40 percent of the …
Anger toward God: Social-cognitive predictors, prevalence, and links with adjustment to bereavement and cancer
Many people see themselves as being in a relationship with God and see this bond as comforting. Yet, perceived relationships with God also carry the potential for experiencing anger toward God, as shown here in studies with the U.S. population (Study 1), undergraduates (Studies 2 and 3), bereaved individuals (Study 4), and cancer survivors (Study 5). These studies addressed 3 fundamental issues regarding anger toward God: perceptions and attribut…
Social interactions in daily life: Within-person associations between momentary social experiences and psychological and physical health indicators
It is well established that individuals who engage in more positive social interactions report a broad array of benefit relative to those with fewer positive social interactions. Yet less is known about how, within individuals, naturally occurring social interactions in daily life relate to momentary indicators of health (e.g., mood, psychological, and physiological stress). The current study used ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to examine …
Has work replaced home as a haven? Re-examining Arlie Hochschild's Time Bind proposition with objective stress data
Age differences in negative emotional responses to daily stressors depend on time since event
Research on age differences in the experience of negative emotional states have produced inconsistent results, particularly when emotion is examined in the context of daily stress. Strength and vulnerability integration (SAVI; Charles, 2010) theory postulates that age differences in emotional states are contingent upon whether a stressor occurred, and whether sufficient time has passed since the stressor to allow older adults to benefit from theo…

How Do You Feel: Self-esteem Predicts Affect, Stress, Social Interaction, and Symptom Severity during Daily Life in Patients with Chronic Illness
Self-esteem has been demonstrated to predict health and well-being in a number of samples and domains using retrospective reports, but little is known about the effect of self-esteem in daily life. A community sample with asthma ( n = 97) or rheumatoid arthritis ( n = 31) completed a self-esteem measure and collected Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) data 5x/day for one week using a palmtop computer. Low self-esteem predicted more negative af…
Age Differences in Proactive Coping With Minor Hassles in Daily Life
Results are consistent with the view that older adults engage in more proactive coping to deal with minor hassles in their daily lives to manage these problems before they become more stressful. Older adults did not report fewer potentially stressful events but they reported these events as less unpleasant. The adaptive value of proactive coping, in particular for older adults, is discussed

Daily Memory Lapses in Adults: Characterization and Influence on Affect
Previous work on daily memory lapses has focused on prospective lapses. Although retrospective lapses occurred more frequently in this sample, prospective lapses appeared to have a greater impact on daily experiences regardless of age. By measuring daily memory lapses and affect over consecutive days, we can begin to understand how the experience of forgetting impacts individuals at a micro-level
Additive Effects of Forecasted and Reported Stressors on Negative Affect
In an age-heterogeneous sample, individuals showed early and persistent affective responses in advance of stressors. Anticipatory stress responses may be a mechanism for chronic stress
How mindfulness training promotes positive emotions: Dismantling acceptance skills training in two randomized controlled trials
Mindfulness meditation interventions-which train skills in monitoring present-moment experiences with a lens of acceptance-have shown promise for increasing positive emotions. Using a theory-based approach, we hypothesized that learning acceptance skills in mindfulness interventions helps people notice more positive experiences in daily life, and tested whether removing acceptance training from mindfulness interventions would eliminate interventi…
Research: Religious Framing by Individuals With PTSD When Writing About Traumatic Experiences
Writing about traumatic events can produce physical and psychological health benefits, especially when individuals use language to transform emotionally laden events into meaningful narratives. Because religion often facilitates the search for meaning, we predicted that the use of religious themes in writing would moderate mood-related outcomes. Fifteen individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) wrote in each of 3 sessions about their …

A breath of fresh air: Images of respiratory illness in novels, poems, films, music, and paintings
The nature and severity of respiratory disease are typically expressed with biomedical measures such as pulmonary function, X-rays, blood tests, and other physiological characteristics. The impact of respiratory illness on the sufferer, however, is reflected in the stories patients tell: to themselves, their social environment, and their health care providers. Behavioral research often applies standardized questionnaires to assess this subjective…
Effect of Chronic Stress Associated With Unemployment on Salivary Cortisol: Overall Cortisol Levels, Diurnal Rhythm, and Acute Stress Reactivity
This study examined the effect of chronic stress associated with unemployment on the magnitude of salivary cortisol excretion, on the diurnal rhythm of cortisol, and on cortisol reactivity to acute naturalistic stressors using Experience Sampling Methodology (ESM). Employed (N = 60) and unemployed (N = 60) subjects were studied for 2 days. Subjects were beeped 6 times per day by a preprogrammed wristwatch to assess acute stressors; 25 minutes aft…

Structured Writing Produces Symptom Reduction in Chronic Illness: A Randomized Trial of Asthmatics and Rheumatoid Arthritics
Is It Safe to Write? Evaluating the Short-Term Distress Produced by Writing About Emotionally Traumatic Experiences
Relaxation Training and Cortisol Secretion in Adult Asthmatics
Relaxation techniques can lead to symptom reduction and improved pulmonary functioning in asthmatics, although the mechanism is not clear. One possibility is by influencing cortisol secretion, as cortisol is implicated in inflammatory processes and relaxation has been shown to alter cortisol secretion in healthy individuals. This study explored the effect of relaxation training on cortisol levels and cortisol reactivity to stress in asthmatics. T…
Evaluating the Feasibility and Efficacy of a Self-Administered Manual-Based Stress Management Intervention for Individuals With Asthma: Results From a Controlled Study
Several behavioral medicine interventions (e.g., relaxation training and written emotional expression) have been proposed as effective supplemental treatments for individuals with chronic illnesses such as asthma. Whether these treatments are feasible or effective in a manual-based, self-administered format is unclear, and few studies have examined the effectiveness of such treatments presented in a complementary format. We examined the feasibili…
Immigrant Suicide Rates as a Function of Ethnophaulisms: Hate Speech Predicts Death
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether suicide rates among ethnic immigrant groups were predicted by the ethnophaulisms, or the hate speech, used to refer to those ethnic immigrant groups. Methods: Data were obtained for 10 European ethnic immigrant groups during the 1950s. These 10 European ethnic immigrant groups accounted for approximately 40% of all immigration into the United States during this time period. Both the su…

Reported exposure and emotional reactivity to daily stressors: The roles of adult age and global perceived stress.
A central goal of daily stress research is to identify resilience and vulnerability factors associated with exposure and reactivity to daily stressors. The present study examined how age differences and global perceptions of stress relate to exposure and emotional reactivity to daily stressors. Sixty-seven younger (M age = 20) and 116 older (M age = 80) adults completed a daily stress diary and measures of positive and negative affect on 6 days o…

Intraindividual change and variability in daily stress processes: Findings from two measurement-burst diary studies.
There is little longitudinal information on aging-related changes in emotional responses to negative events. In the present article, we examined intraindividual change and variability in the within-person coupling of daily stress and negative affect using data from 2 measurement-burst daily diary studies. Three main findings emerged. First, average reactivity to daily stress increased longitudinally, and this increase was evident across most of t…

Ecological momentary interventions: Incorporating mobile technology into psychosocial and health behaviour treatments
PURPOSE: Psychosocial and health behaviour treatments and therapies can be extended beyond traditional research or clinical settings by using mobile technology to deliver interventions to individuals as they go about their daily lives. These ecological momentary interventions (EMIs) are treatments that are provided to people during their everyday lives (i.e. in real time) and in natural settings (i.e. real world). The goal of the present review i…
