Ecological Momentary Assessment of Daily Affect and Emotion Regulation Strategies

The purpose of this study is twofold. First, it will use ecological momentary assessment strategies to examine daily temporal fluctuations in four features of affective experiences: valence (positive v negative affect), granularity (number of unique emotions experienced), regulation, and stress. Second, the study will extend recently completed work from our laboratory (https://psyarxiv.com/9stvx) by testing for group differences in the four aforementioned types of affective experiences among three different types of regulators (defined in the previously linked paper).
