Older adults report experiencing improved emotional health, such as more intense positive affect and less intense negative affect. However, there are mixed findings on whether older adults are better at regulating emotion—a hallmark feature of emotional health—and most research is based on laboratory studies that may not capture how people regulate their emotions in everyday life. We used experience sampling to examine how multiple measures of emotional health, including mean affect, dynamic fluctuations between affective states and the ability to resist desires—a common form of emotion regulation—differ in daily life across adulthood. Participants (N = 122, ages 20-80) reported how they were feeling and responding to desire temptations for 10 days. Older adults experienced more intense positive affect, less intense negative affect and were more emotionally stable, even after controlling for individual differences in global life satisfaction. Older adults were more successful at regulating desires, even though they experienced more intense desires than younger adults. In addition, adults in general experiencing more intense affect were less successful at resisting desires. These results demonstrate how emotional experience is related to more successful desire regulation in everyday life and provide unique evidence that emotional health and regulation improve with age.

Collective Dimension

Music festivals are factors of attractiveness for territories. As such they are part of their tourism strategies (Getz, 1991). In France, 84% of the 2018 music festivals took place during the touristic summer season. They sometimes even become a tourist product in itself like Tomorrowland Winter in Alpe d’Huez, a ski resort in the French Alps. During seven days, the ski resort is only accessible for the festival-goers. In 2019, Alpe d’Huez was fully filled with 23,000 tourists from 131 different countries who booked their holidays to enjoy skiing and concerts during that special event, and 36,000 people were on the waiting list. Provoking a spatio-temporal rupture with everyday life (Chaney, 2011), significant in leisure or tourist practices, festivals allow experiencing a real re-enchantment of the world and everyday life. According to the postmodern approach, the phenomenon of society around festivals, illustrated by the growth in festival demographics (in the number of participants but also in the number of events) (Négrier et al., 2013), can be considered in the global context of a return to festive alchemy and the cult of pleasure, with a powerful return to affect and emotion. This festival craze is significant for the “triumph of the collective will to live over the individual” (Maffesoli, 2012: 115). However, this collective dimension of emotions has received limited attention in marketing (Didry & Giannelloni, 2019). In addition, although accompaniment has often been analyzed in consumer behavior (Debenedetti, 2003), few studies consider the collective context in which consumers are immersed in their experience. If a festival experience is lived in a collective way, which behaviors do festival consumers develop to engage in emotional interactions with others? The challenge here is to bring a new reading of the experience of collective consumption through emotional transfers to fill a gap in the marketing literature. More specifically, it is a question of assessing how the need for emotional interactions will influence the festival-goer’s behavior.

Subjective Aspect

- Aim of the study was to investigate the emotional experience in everyday life, considering both the subjective aspect and the physiological components. The subjective experience has been collected by a diary, while the physiological component were measured by a holter. The analysis of the subjective experiences showed that the families of emotion most frequently experienced were: joy, anger, fear and sadness and there was a balance between positive and negative emotions. Furthermore there was a significative relation between specific emotions and specific antecedents, with a prevalence of social antecedent. A multivariate analysis of the subjective and physiological data showed specific patterns for the different emotions and a coherence between subjective response and the physiological component of the sympathetic system.Parole chiave: emotions, everyday life, psychophysiology, heart rateParole chiave: emozioni, vita quotidiana, psicofisiologia, battito cardiaco

Family Approach

We examined self-reported emotional experiences in 3 short-term intensive longitudinal studies of Mechanical Turk workers in the United States (Ns = 55; 107; 224). We conducted factor analyses on the within-person level using an emotions family approach based on lexical studies of emotion knowledge (Nobservations = 1,375; 7,176; 11,833) to develop the Distinct Affective States questionnaire. Responses to a range of emotion terms were differentiated into 26 distinct affective states, including specific emotions (e.g., content, serene, calm, peaceful comprised Contentment) and affective clusters of related emotions (e.g., loving, compassionate, caring, adoring comprised Love). Distinct affective states were associated with momentary self-views, Big Five personality states, and situational characteristics. For example, Authentic Pride experiences were characterized by momentary self-esteem, conscientious behavior, and being in situations involving productivity and heavy thinking; Gratitude experiences were characterized by momentary self-esteem, being around close others, and acting sociably. The assessment of distinct affective states expands our view of emotional experience and shows promise for better understanding personality dynamics in everyday life. Research is needed to examine the generalizability of results outside of American Mechanical Turk samples, and to further assess measurement properties in studies of daily life (e.g. distinct affective states in the Surprise family).

Картина В.И. Сурикова «Взятие снежного городка» – единственная картина Василия Сурикова, написанная в Красноярске, и посвящена она родной Сибири и сибирякам. Художник называл ее бытовой, но так ли однозначен жанр картины? Ее называют веселой, но так ли это? В этом произведении многое раскрывается не с первого взгляда. За шуточной баталией стоят реальные исторические события и душевные переживания самого художника. Картина открывает новый период в творчестве Сурикова – батальный, период преодолений и побед. Она внесла в русское искусство невиданную доселе легкую стремительную динамичность. Композиция картины сложна и неоднозначна, наполнена подтекстами и пластическими находками. V.I. Surikov's painting “Storming of a Snow Fortress” is the only picture painted in Krasnoyarsk and it is devoted to his native land Siberia and Siberians. The painter called it everyday life but is the genre of the painting so definite? They call it funny but is it so? This work of art does not reveal itself at the first glance. Behind the facetious battle, there are real historic events and emotional experience of the painter himself. The painting opens a new period in Surikov’s creative work – a battle period, a period of overcoming and victories. It brought about unprecedented easy swift dynamics into the Russian art. The composition of the painting is complex and diverse, full of implications and plastic godsends.

The 19Th Century

Emotions have a political dimension in that judgments regarding when and how emotion should be felt and shown are interpreted in the interests of regulating the organization and functioning of social groups. This article argues that claims to authenticity and legitimacy of one's self-identity or group identity are at stake in the everyday politics of emotion. A brief discussion of the study of sex differences in the 19th century illustrates how emotion politics can saturate even scientific inquiry. Three ways in which there is a political dimension to socially appropriate emotion in contemporary life are then discussed: (a) Is the emotion the “wrong” emotion for the situation? (b) How are competing standards for emotional experience and expression managed? and (c) What constitutes the boundary between “too much” and “too little” emotion? The author concludes by considering the relevance of emotion politics to research on emotion.
