Optimizing Psychological Treatment for Pain After Breast Cancer Using a Randomized Factorial Design
Psychological treatment has shown promising results in the treatment of pain after breast cancer (BC) but could benefit from treatment optimization. The present mixed‐methods study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of delivering components drawn from third‐wave cognitive behavioral therapy to women with persistent pain after BC using the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST). Using a factorial experimental design, women with pain after BC were …
Bodies in action
The present study investigated the effects of expansive and contractive body displays on adaptive behavior and affective outcomes. Addressing limitations in past research, the effects were investigated in two different contexts (i.e., fear context and sadness context), compared with two types of control conditions and the moderating effects of motivational traits and symptoms of psychopathology were accounted for. A sample of 186 adults completed…
The effect of age on emotion regulation patterns in daily life
The present experience sampling study investigated the effect of age on emotion regulation patterns (i.e., emotion regulation strategy effectiveness, variability, and differentiation) in daily life. The study further explored the implications of potential age differences in emotion regulation patterns for well‐being. A sample of 406 adults (age range: 18–81, 62.8% female) were prompted five times a day for seven days to rate momentary emotions, e…
Emotion regulation patterns
Variability and flexibility in emotion regulation (ER) are considered important ingredients in adaptive ER. Few attempts at operationalizing variability and flexibility in ER have been made. In two 10‐day experience sampling studies ( N = 51 and 39), healthy participants rated their momentary emotions and their ER efforts in response to those emotions. We evaluated the association between ER (i.e., between and within ER strategy variability and E…
The Constructionist Approach to Emotional Aging
In this article, we introduce a constructionist approach to understanding emotional aging in adulthood. The purpose of the paper is to show how constructionism offers a promising avenue for gaining new insights into age-related changes in emotional experiences. We begin by introducing the constructionist theoretical framework and illustrating how constructionism may shape conceptualizations of emotional aging in adulthood. We compare the construc…
Developing a non‐verbal, self‐report assessment tool of action tendencies
The objectives of this series of studies were to develop and evaluate a visual self‐report measure, the Depicted Action Tendencies (DAT), for the assessment of action tendencies, and to examine relations between action tendencies and emotions. In three independent studies, 938 participants evaluated drawings depicting individuals engaged in actions, reflecting four classes of action tendencies; the tendency to approach reward, approach threat, av…
Comparing negative emotion differentiation in young and older individuals
Life span theories suggest that emotional experiences become more complex (i.e., nuanced and differentiated) with age. Theoretically, the cause of this increased complexity has been proposed to be age‐related changes in life contexts such as goals and daily stressors. Consequently, age may not affect emotional complexity in settings where the influence of age‐specific life contexts is reduced. However, this hypothesis has yet to be explored. In t…
