A case study of a teacher’s extrinsic emotion regulation on students’ positive emotions and learning experience
Professional Development of Expatriate Higher Education Faculty Through Informal and Incidental Learning on Social Media
While formal, digital‐technology‐based professional development for higher education faculty has been extensively studied, informal and incidental learning (IIL) within this area remain underexplored. Integrating the Broaden‐and‐Build Theory with the Informal and Incidental Learning framework, this study examines how positive emotions influence faculty's social media engagement and trigger work‐related IIL, which subsequently enhances professiona…
Expressing gratitude and visualising one’s best possible self
This research examined affect and health behaviours over four weeks during consecutive COVID-19 lockdowns in the United Kingdom (UK), and the impact of expressing gratitude (EG) and visualising one’s best possible self (BPS) on these outcomes compared to a control condition . Participants ( N = 145) took part in a 4-week intervention during lockdown and completed an EG, BPS, or control exercise and measures of affect and health behaviours once pe…
The effect of induced happiness versus sadness on three types of self-control tasks
How can people succeed in situations that require self-control? One mechanism might be through positive emotions such as happiness, although previous studies are limited and have yielded inconsistent results. Three studies (total N = 424) therefore examined the effect of induced happiness versus sadness on three different self-control tasks that required delaying gratification (Study 1), persistence on an aversive task (Study 2), and breaking a h…
Trait self-control and beliefs about the utility of emotions and emotion regulation in self-control performance
Three studies (N = 555) examined whether emotion regulation and emotions help people higher in trait self-control (TSC) to achieve their goals. Because emotion utility beliefs predict emotion regulation and performance, Study 1a examined whether TSC predicts emotion utility beliefs in two performance contexts, and Study 1b examined whether these beliefs predict preferences to regulate emotions. Study 2 examined whether TSC predicts choice to regu…
The role of humour production and humour receptivity in perceived romantic interest
This research tests the interest indicator model of humour. Specifically, we investigate whether participants infer more romantic interest from partners who produce humour and respond positively to humour, and whether physical attractiveness moderates these effects. Participants viewed photos of more attractive and less attractive individuals along with vignettes describing the photographed individual’s humour production and humour receptivity. P…
Trait self‐control and beliefs about the utility of emotions for initiatory and inhibitory self‐control
How do people with high trait self‐control achieve their success? This research aimed to investigate beliefs about emotion utility as a potential mechanism. Specifically, because beliefs about the utility of emotions predict emotion regulation and successful performance, we investigate the hypothesis that trait self‐control influences beliefs about the utility of emotions for self‐control. Two preregistered studies examined whether beliefs about …
