Purpose: Improving satisfaction with communication (SC) is one of the issues in treatments of adults who stutter (AWS). SC can be influenced by self-rated stuttering severity (SS), negative/positive emotions, and emotion regulations and they are variable in daily communications. The present study aimed to explore factors predicting SC in daily communications of AWS, considering their variabilities and speaking contexts.Method: Twenty-seven AWS were surveyed by trait questionnaires and then by experience sampling method (ESM) seven times per day for 2 weeks, reporting speaking contexts and subjective experiences, including SC, SS, negative/positive emotions, and emotion regulations. Intra- and inter- individual variabilities and relationships of the variables were investigated.Results: Speaking contexts were summarized by unofficial/official communications. SC, SS, and emotion regulations in unofficial communications were less variable and SC was more strongly related to trait questionnaires. Items of the ESM loaded on three latent factors in each communication type, including (1) negative emotion, (2) stuttering and associated reactions (including SS and stuttering-and anxiety-related behaviors and cognitions), and (3) positive emotion and attending to communication. SC was more strongly associated with (3) than (2) in unofficial communications while the opposite trend was found in official communications.Conclusions: SC, SS, and stuttering-and anxiety-related emotion regulations in unofficial communications are more trait-like. Not only negative emotion regulations but also positive emotion regulations should be treated to improve SC in AWS, considering speaking contexts.

The Experience Sampling Method (ESM; Larson & Csikszentmihalyi, 1983) is a means to investigate the subjective experiences of individuals as they go about their daily lives. Students from 2 Adolescent Psychology courses used the ESM in a required “beeper project.” Student research teams investigated a typical week in the life of an adolescent by paging research participants at random times and asking them to complete an experience sampling form each time. Students analyzed the data and wrote a paper on a week in the life of an adolescent. Evaluations of the project demonstrate that students found it to be an enjoyable, useful, interesting, and helpful course project.

The present study examined Chinese adolescents' emotion regulatory tendency and its effect, using an Experience Sampling Method. Participants comprised 72 Chinese adolescents ( M age = 15.2 yr., SD = 1.7; 36 girls). Momentary emotional experience and regulation was assessed up to 5 or 6 times each day for two weeks. Results showed that participants tended to use up-regulation when they experienced positive emotion and habitually regulated their negative emotion by down-regulation. Also, adolescents who utilized down-regulation in a certain sampling moment reported higher positive emotion at the subsequent sampling moment. Moreover, adolescents who utilized down-regulation more frequently reported higher positive emotion at the subsequent sampling moment. Overall, down-regulation seemed to be a more adaptive regulatory strategy than up-regulation in Chinese adolescents' emotional lives.

In deze studie is gekeken naar de netwerkstructuur van resilience. Hiervoor is gebruik gemaakt van netwerkanalyse om enkele eigenschappen van resilience in netwerkmodellen te schatten. Extra aandacht is er voor positief affect, welke naar de broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions (Fredrickson, 1998) een centrale rol zou spelen in resilience. Er deed een totaal van 31 deelnemers mee waarbij twee weken lang driemaal daags time series data werd afgenomen naar de experience sampling method. Er werden temporal en contemporaneous individuele netwerkmodellen geschat, waaruit bleek dat positief affect een minder centrale rol vertolkt dan op basis van de broaden- and-build theory of positive emotions werd verwacht. De aanwezigheid van partiële correlaties geeft een indicatie van causaliteit tussen de knopen van de netwerken.

Two studies were conducted to explore whether the addition of animal movement would influence the intensity of emotional reactions toward that animal. Both studies compared self-reported emotional reactions to still images and videos for six animal categories (snakes, spiders, rodents, hoofed animals, animals with flippers, and turtles). In Study 1, participants reported fear and disgust to the animal stimuli, which were averaged into a single negative emotion rating. In Study 2, participants reported either fear and disgust or joy and affection to the animal stimuli, which were averaged into either a single negative or positive emotion rating. Upon combining the reported emotions from the two studies, movement was found to increase negative emotion reported to snakes and spiders and decrease negative emotion reported to rodents, hoofed animals, and animals with flippers. Results from Study 2 indicated that movement increased reported positive emotions to all six animal categories. Our findings suggest that animal movement is an important component of emotional reactions to animals.

This study examined the relationship of aquatic activity to positive and negative emotion in individuals with a severe mental illness (SMI). Individuals with SMI have been found to experience decreased positive emotions and higher negative emotions as compared to controls. It was hypothesized that aquatic activity participation would be associated with greater positive emotion and lower negative emotion post participation. Eighteen participants with a severe mental illness were recruited from a community mental health center. The study employed a pre-post design with a structured aquatic activity designed for moderate physical exertion. Participants demonstrated statistically significant increase in positive emotion and decrease in negative emotion pre to post activity. The findings of this study provide support for the potential effect of aquatic activities in psychiatric rehabilitation.

Urban residents’ perception of recycled water reuse is the foundation for the realization of recycled water reuse behavior. However, even though the perception factor is equipped, it does not mean that urban residents will use recycled water continuously for sure. Therefore, in this research, the authors try to put cognitive factors and emotional factors into a unified behavioral process. Based on this theory framework, the paper will interpret the initiation, formation and continuing process of recycled water reuse behavior of urban residents. On the basis of previous studies, this study established a theoretical model to study the influence of cognitive factors and emotional factors on recycled water reuse behavior of the residents. Based on the data of 325 samples, the direct and indirect relationship between the variables in the model is verified through path analysis and mediation analysis. The empirical results show that: firstly, the urban residents’ perception of recycled water reuse can activate their emotion for recycled water, and the emotion includes both positive emotion and negative emotion; secondly, although the recognition of recycled water can stimulate both positive and negative emotional factors, there are great differences between positive and negative emotions on the initiation, formation and sustainability of recycled water behavior. Negative emotion has a certain effect on the initiation of recycled water reuse behavior, but it has no significant effect on the formation and sustainability of recycled water reuse behavior. By contrast, positive emotion has no significant effect on the initiation of recycled water reuse behavior, but it has a significant effect on the formation and sustainability of recycled water reuse behavior. That is to say, at different stages, the recycled water reuse behaviors are affected differently by positive emotions and negative emotions. Thirdly, compared with negative emotional variables, positive emotions have a greater impact on individual recycled water reuse behavior. Positive emotional variables can significantly mediate the impact of cognitive variables on recycled water reuse behavior habits. In other words, positive emotions play a vital role in the sustainability of recycled water reuse.

Reward sensitivity is a primary indicator of impulsive behavior, such as cigarette smoking, and contributes to positive emotional experiences. The aim in this study was to examine smokers' emotional experiences and cravings in relation to their personality traits. Participants were divided into high- and low-reward sensitivity groups, and a procedure aimed at inducing emotions was conducted while physiological responses were recorded. There was a significant difference in the subjective experiences of the 2 groups, and a significant positive correlation existed between a positive emotional experience and craving cigarettes. Furthermore, reward sensitivity induced craving in smokers and the relationship was mediated by positive emotion. We believe that the identified mediating effect of positive emotions on craving could provide a better understanding of maladaptive behavior associated with positive emotion and may play an important role in treatment of nicotine dependence.

Hernandez et al.’s (2018) review provides clear evidence that positive affect can contribute to well-being and fits nicely within the positive psychology framework. The emergence of positive psychology has been valuable for understanding well-being, but I suggest that a balanced psychology can prove even more valuable in the years to come. A balanced psychology requires giving as much attention to negative emotion as to positive emotion. It also requires considering whether there are circumstances in which positive emotions can be detrimental and negative emotions can be beneficial. Along those lines, evidence reviewed here indicates that healthy coping with severe stressors involves experiencing a combination of positive and negative emotions.
