Staying connected: How close friendships supported emotional well-being during the Covid-19 pandemic
Close social relationships are critical for emotional well-being. The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted in-person contact with friends, particularly among young adults, for whom friendships support key developmental goals. In a longitudinal study of U.S. college students ( N = 205; 10,088 observations), we examined how close friendship networks related to emotional well-being during the early months of the pandemic (May-October 2020). Leveragi…
Associations Between Valenced News and Affect in Daily Life: Experimental and Ecological Momentary Assessment Approaches
12.05) participants, we tested the association between valenced news and affect using a 14-day, smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment protocol consisting of two components: 1) a once-per-day experimental protocol in which participants were exposed to good news and bad news stories and 2) a four-times-per-day protocol capturing ecological fluctuations in news consumption. Across both protocols, we replicate findings that consumption of …
A socioemotional network perspective on momentary experiences of family conflict in young adults
Family conflict is an established predictor of psychopathology in youth. Traditional approaches focus on between‐family differences in conflict. Daily fluctuations in conflict within families might also impact psychopathology, but more research is needed to understand how and why. Using 21 days of daily diary data and 6‐times a day experience‐sampling data ( N = 77 participants; mean age = 21.18, SD = 1.75; 63 women, 14 men), we captured day‐to‐d…
Smokers’ Curiosity Facilitates Recall of Tobacco-Related Health Information
Curiosity promotes learning. Two open questions concern the extent to which tobacco smokers exhibit curiosity about smoking-related health information and whether this curiosity can facilitate recall of this information. Participants (n = 324 smokers; n = 280 nonsmokers) performed a Trivia Guessing Task wherein participants guessed the answers to general trivia and smoking-related trivia questions and provided ratings of their curiosity prior to …
Meeting 24-hour movement behavior guidelines in young children: Improved quantity estimation and self-regulation
Research Findings: The present study examined the associations among meeting 24-hour movement behavior recommendations set by the World Health Organization (2019) and young children’s self-regulation and quantity estimation skills in a sample of 123 children (n = 65 female; 4.9 ± 0.7 years) in mid-Michigan. Meeting screen time recommendations alone, meeting physical activity recommendations in combination with either sleep or screen time recommen…
Within-Person Temporal Associations Among Self-Reported Physical Activity, Sleep, and Well-Being in College Students
OBJECTIVE: A holistic understanding of the naturalistic dynamics among physical activity, sleep, emotions, and purpose in life as part of a system reflecting wellness is key to promoting well-being. The main aim of this study was to examine the day-to-day dynamics within this wellness system. METHODS: Using self-reported emotions (happiness, sadness, anger, anxiousness) and physical activity periods collected twice per day, and daily reports of s…
