- Abstract
Background: Alexithymia is an important transdiagnostic risk factor for emotion-based psychopathologies. However, it remains unclear whether alexithymia questionnaires actually measure alexithymia, or whether they measure emotional distress. Our aim here was to address this discriminant validity concern via exploratory factor analysis (EFA) of the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) and the Perth Alexithymia Questionnaire (PAQ). Method: United States general community adults (N = 508) completed the TAS-20, PAQ, and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21). EFA was used to examine the latent dimensions underlying these measures' scores. Results: Our EFA extracted two higher-order factors, an “alexithymia” factor and a “general distress” factor (i.e., depression, anxiety, stress). All PAQ scores loaded cleanly on the alexithymia factor, with no cross-loadings on the distress factor. However, for the TAS-20, Difficulty Identifying Feelings (DIF) facet scores cross-loaded highly on the distress factor. Limitations: Our sample consisted of general community adults; future work in clinical settings will be useful. Conclusions: Our data indicate that the PAQ has good discriminant validity. However, the TAS-20 appears to have significant discriminant validity problems, in that much of the variance in its DIF facet reflects people's current levels of distress, rather than alexithymia. The TAS-20, which has traditionally been the most widely used alexithymia questionnaire, may therefore not be the optimal alexithymia tool. Our findings add to the body of evidence supporting the validity and utility of the PAQ and suggest that, moving forward, it is a superior option to the TAS-20 for alexithymia assessments., CC BY 4.0 DEED © 2024 The Author(s)Correspondence Address: D.A.

Beliefs about the controllability and usefulness of emotions may influence successful emotion regulation across multiple emotional disorders and could thus be influential mechanisms in long-term mental health outcomes. However, to date there has been little empirical work in this area. Our aim was to fill this gap, by examining the links between emotion beliefs and common emotional disorder symptoms. Specifically, we examined whether emotion beliefs can account for significant variance in depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms, and explored which profiles of emotion beliefs might characterise each of these symptom categories. A sample of 948 Australian university students completed self-report measures of emotion beliefs and emotional disorder symptoms. A path analysis indicated that emotion beliefs accounted for a modest but significant 11%, 12%, and 9% of the variance in depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms, respectively (ps <.001). A latent profile analysis revealed six different profiles of combinations of emotion beliefs and emotional disorder symptom levels, collectively reinforcing the transdiagnostic relevance of emotion beliefs across each symptom category. Overall, our results indicate the importance of considering emotion beliefs in conceptualisations of depression, anxiety, and stress, and suggest that emotion beliefs may be a useful assessment and treatment target. What is already known about this topic: Ford and Gross's (2018, 2019) theoretical framework of emotion beliefs posits that believing positive and negative emotions are uncontrollable and useless is detrimental for emotion regulation efforts and mental health outcomes. Beliefs about emotions being uncontrollable are associated with increased emotional disorder symptoms. The limited research examining beliefs about the usefulness of emotions indicates that believing emotions are useless is also associated with increased emotional disorder symptoms. What this topic adds: This study is the first to comprehensively examine controllability and usefulness beliefs across the negative and positive valence domains. We systematically mapped the emotion belief profiles characterising depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms, and found profiles with stronger maladaptive emotion beliefs tended to have greater emotional disorder symptoms. We found that both belief categories across both valence domains are relevant to emotional disorder symptoms, but beliefs about the controllability of negative emotion were particularly important.

- Abstract
Background Alexithymia is a key transdiagnostic risk factor for emotion-based psychopathologies. Conceptual models specify that this is because alexithymia impairs emotion regulation. However, the extent of these putative emotion regulation impairments remains underexplored. Our aim in this study was to begin to address this gap by examining whether people with high, average, or low levels of alexithymia differ in the types of emotion regulation strategies they typically use. Method General community adults from the United States (N = 501) completed a battery of alexithymia and emotion regulation measures. Participants were grouped into high, average, and low alexithymia quantiles. Results After controlling for demographics and current levels of distress, the high, average, and low alexithymia groups differed in their use of cognitive and behavioral emotion regulation strategies. Compared to the other groups, the high alexithymia group reported lesser use of generally adaptive regulation strategies (cognitive reappraisal, approaching problems, and seeking social support) and greater use of generally maladaptive regulation strategies (expressive suppression, behavioral withdrawal, ignoring). Limitations Our data were cross-sectional and from self-report questionnaires. Future work in other cultural groups would be beneficial. Conclusions Our results support the view that alexithymia is associated with impaired emotion regulation. In particular, people with high alexithymia seem to exhibit a less adaptive profile of emotion regulation strategies. Direct targeting of these emotion regulation patterns in psychotherapy may therefore be a useful pathway for the treatment of emotional disorder symptoms in people with high alexithymia., Available online 23 December 2022

Research shows that lay beliefs about the helpfulness and controllability of emotions may affect which strategies people use to regulate their emotions. A separate line of work shows that individuals who tend to use more disengagement-oriented regulation strategies (e.g., distraction) relative to engagement-oriented strategies (e.g., reappraisal) report higher trait loneliness. The present study investigates how lay beliefs about emotions shape strategy selection in social contexts and contribute to feelings of loneliness in everyday life.

In everyday life, people often want to tune the emotions they experience and express to better fit their internal needs and external demands. Importantly, the specific strategies people use to regulate their emotions can have far-reaching implications for psychological, social, and physical health and well-being. Features of the context, like emotional intensity, have been linked to the likelihood of engaging in emotion regulation as well as to selection of specific strategies in previous observational and experimental work. There is promising initial evidence indicating that features of the individual, like global beliefs about emotions, may play an important role in shaping general patterns of habitual emotion regulation. The goal of the present study is to extend prior work on emotion beliefs to everyday contexts in order to better understand how occurrent beliefs about controllability, helpfulness, and justification of specific emotions contribute to regulation of emotions of varying intensities. Specifically, we are interested in understanding how occurrent beliefs about emotions shape how much people regulate as well as how much they rely on two strategies: distraction and reappraisal.

Affective responses during stressful high-stakes situations can play an important role in shaping performance outcomes. For example, feeling shaky and nervous at a job interview can undermine performance, whereas feeling pumped and excited during a sporting competition can optimize performance. These observations suggest that affect regulation – the way people influence their affective responses – might play a key role in determining high-stakes performance outcomes. To test this hypothesis, we propose to adapt a newly developed synergistic mindsets intervention (Yeager et al., 2022) to high-stakes situations. This adaptation is motivated by the idea that (1) mindsets both about situations and one’s response to situations can be shaped to maximize challenge versus threat responding, and (2) challenge versus threat affective responses will be associated with enhanced performance outcomes. Our particular focus is esports, a context that permits the measurement of affective response – affective experience and real-time cardiovascular responses - and well-defined performance outcomes. After a baseline performance task, we will randomly assign gamers (N = 250) either to a synergistic mindsets intervention or to a control condition in which they will learn brain facts. After two weeks of daily gaming, players will compete in a cash-prize tournament. We will measure affective experiences before the matches and cardiovascular responses before and throughout the matches. Compared to the control condition, we hypothesize that synergistic mindset gamers will show greater challenge affective responses and superior performance outcomes. If these predictions are supported, we will seek to extend this work to other contexts.

FOS: Psychology ,Psychology ,Social and Behavioral Sciences - Abstract
The present study is part of a larger project in which we use a combination of reinforcement learning modeling and empirical work to understand the drivers of emotion regulation strategy choice. The goal of the present study is to use a modified emotion-regulation choice paradigm (Sheppes et al., 2011) to examine differences in the amount of time that it takes for two emotion regulation strategies—distraction and reappraisal—to reduce negative affect under high- and low-intensity conditions. Participants will first be instructed in the use of 2 emotion regulation strategies: distraction (thinking about something that is emotionally neutral) and reappraisal (thinking about a negative stimulus in a way that reduces its negative meaning). Participants will then be presented with high- and low-intensity images from the Affective Picture System (Lang et al., 2008). Before each image presentation, participants will be instructed to either distract or reappraise as soon as the image appears on the screen. Each image will then appear on the screen for 10 seconds. Participants will press a key as soon as they begin to feel less negative compared to the way the felt when they first saw the image. Once the 10 seconds are up, the sequence will repeat itself with a new image and/or regulation instruction (for a total of 30 trials).

26. Emotional support across adulthood: A 60-year study of men's social networks.

Petrova K, Nevarez MD, Waldinger RJ, and Schulz MS
- Abstract
Past research shows that social networks get smaller with age. But not all types of relationships may shrink at the same rate or for similar reasons. In the present study, we used a unique data set from a sample of 235 men who were followed longitudinally for 71 years to examine how the general pattern of network shrinkage documented in previous research generalizes to the number of emotional support providers in people's networks. We additionally examined early-life predictors of the size of later-life support network. Growth curve analyses revealed that, mirroring the more general pattern of network shrinkage, emotional support networks shrink by as much as 50% between the ages of 30 and 90, reflecting an average reduction from two to one support providers. Examining the associations between prospectively collected measures of childhood family environment and later-life emotional support, we also found that men who grew up in warmer family environments had larger support networks in adulthood. In contrast, childhood family socioeconomic status was not connected to the size of emotional support networks later in life. The generalizability of this work is limited by the use of an archival all-male sample from the United States. Despite this limitation, these findings make important contributions to our understanding of adult socioemotional development and underscore the importance of prospectively collected longitudinal data in developmental research. Additional research is needed to examine the consequences of changing emotional support across the lifespan for health and well-being. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

- Abstract
Affective responses during stressful, high-stakes situations can play an important role in shaping performance. For example, feeling shaky and nervous at a job interview can undermine performance, whereas feeling excited during that same interview can optimize performance. Thus, affect regulation-the way people influence their affective responses-might play a key role in determining high-stakes outcomes. To test this idea, we adapted a synergistic mindsets intervention (SMI) (Yeager et al . 2022 Nature 607 , 512-520 (doi:10.1038/s41586-022-04907-7)) to a high-stakes esports context. Our approach was motivated by the idea that (i) mindsets both about situations and one's stress responses to situations can be shaped to help optimize stress responses, and (ii) challenge versus threat stress responses will be associated with improved outcomes. After a baseline performance task, we randomly assigned gamers ( n = 300) either to SMI or a control condition in which they learned brain facts. After two weeks of daily gaming, gamers competed in a cash-prize tournament. We measured affective experiences before the matches and cardiovascular responses before and throughout the matches. Contrary to predictions, gamers did not experience negative affect (including feeling stressed), thus limiting the capacity for the intervention to regulate physiological responses and optimize performance. Compared with the control participants, synergistic mindsets participants did not show greater challenge responses or improved performance outcomes. Though our adaptation of Yeager et al .'s SMI did not optimize esports performance, our findings point to important considerations regarding the suitability of an intervention such as this to different performance contexts of varying degrees of stressfulness., Competing Interests: The authors of this article declare that they have no financial conflict of interest with the content of this article.

- Abstract
Whether and how people regulate their negative emotions matters a great deal. However, it is not yet clear why people regulate as they do. One promising idea is that people's beliefs shape their emotion regulation choices, and initial evidence indicates that individuals' dispositional beliefs about emotions are indeed associated with general patterns of emotion regulation. The present study extends prior work on emotion beliefs to better understand how occurrent (i.e., momentary) beliefs about helpfulness, controllability, and justification of specific emotions shape whether and how people regulate negative emotions in everyday life. Participants ( N = 143; U.S. community college students recruited in 2022; 76% female; age = 18-60) completed a 7-day experience-sampling protocol in which they were pinged three times per day to describe their most recent negative experiences and answer questions about their emotions, occurrent beliefs about emotions, and emotion regulation. With respect to whether people regulate their emotions, results reveal that people regulate their emotions more when they perceive them to be less helpful. Exploratory analyses additionally show that people regulate negative emotions more when they perceive them to be more controllable and when emotional intensity is relatively high. In terms of how people regulate their emotions, people are more likely to use reappraisal when emotions are seen as more helpful, more controllable, and less justified; and more likely to use distraction when emotions are seen as less helpful and more justified. These findings contribute to a more fine-grained understanding of how beliefs shape emotion regulation in everyday life.respect to whether people regulate their emotions, results reveal that people regulate their emotions more when they perceive them to be less helpful.
