Facial expressions in adolescent–parent interactions and mental health: A proof-of-concept study
Parent-child relationships are hotbeds of emotion and play a key role in mental health. The present proof-of-concept study examined facial expressions of emotion during adolescent-parent interactions and links with internalizing mental health symptoms. Neutral, negative, and positive facial expressions were objectively measured in 28 parent-adolescent dyads during three 10-min dyadic interactions. Internalizing mental health symptoms were measure…
Emotion Regulation in Couples Across the Life Span
Intimate relationships are hotbeds of emotions. Much of what psychologists know about emotion regulation comes from single-subject studies; but a growing body of research has examined emotion regulation in couples. This chapter provides an overview of dimensions of emotion regulation in couples (with a focus on dynamic, iterative, and co-regulatory qualities) and measures (with a focus on differences between self-report and performance-based meas…
Executive functioning and nontarget emotions in late life
When confronted with an emotion prototype (e.g., loss), individuals may experience not only target emotions (e.g., sadness), but also nontarget emotions (emotions that are atypical or incongruent with an emotion prototype; e.g., gratitude in response to loss). What are the cognitive correlates of nontarget emotions? Drawing from models of emotion generation, the present laboratory-based study examined associations between aspects of executive fun…
Emotion regulation in the face of loss: How detachment, positive reappraisal, and acceptance shape experiences, physiology, and perceptions in late life
How individuals regulate emotions in the face of loss has important consequences for well-being and health, but we know little about which emotion regulation strategies are most effective for older adults for whom loss is ubiquitous. The present laboratory-based study examined effects of three emotion regulation strategies (i.e., detachment, positive reappraisal, or acceptance in response to film clips depicting loss) on subjective emotional expe…
Empathy in context: Socioeconomic status as a moderator of the link between empathic accuracy and well-being in married couples
The present laboratory-based study investigated socioeconomic status (SES) as a moderator of the association between empathic accuracy and well-being among married couples from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. Empathic accuracy was measured using a performance-based measure of empathic accuracy for one's spouse's negative emotions during a marital conflict conversation. Aspects of well-being included well-being (i.e., positive affect, life sati…
Emotional Pathways to the Biological Embodiment of Racial Discrimination Experiences
Findings suggest that daily NSE and average negative emotions are important pathways by which racial discrimination gets under the skin, or is embodied, in stress biology
Socioeconomic status as a moderator of the link between reappraisal and anxiety: Laboratory-based and longitudinal evidence
Cognitive reappraisal reduces anxiety, but we know little about how socioeconomic status (SES) moderates this association. Drawing from developmental, affective, and health psychological frameworks, the present 2 studies investigated SES as a moderator of reappraisal and anxiety using performance-based (Study 1) and self-report (Study 1 and 2) measures of reappraisal; analyzing nonclinical (Study 1) and clinical (Study 2) symptoms of anxiety; and…
