The Emerging Field of Emotion Regulation: An Integrative Review
Tập 2 Số 3 - Trang 271-299 - 1998
The emerging field of emotion regulation studies how individuals influence which
emotions they have, when they have them, and how they experience and express
them. This review takes an evolutionary perspective and characterizes emotion in
terms of response tendencies. Emotion regulation is defined and distinguished
from coping, mood regulation, defense, and affect regulation. In the
increasingly s...
Bad is Stronger than Good
Tập 5 Số 4 - Trang 323-370 - 2001
The greater power of bad events over good ones is found in everyday events,
major life events (e.g., trauma), close relationship outcomes, social network
patterns, interpersonal interactions, and learning processes. Bad emotions, bad
parents, and bad feedback have more impact than good ones, and bad information
is processed more thoroughly than good. The self is more motivated to avoid bad
self-de...
Confirmation Bias: A Ubiquitous Phenomenon in Many Guises
Tập 2 Số 2 - Trang 175-220 - 1998
Confirmation bias, as the term is typically used in the psychological
literature, connotes the seeking or interpreting of evidence in ways that are
partial to existing beliefs, expectations, or a hypothesis in hand. The author
reviews evidence of such a bias in a variety of guises and gives examples of its
operation in several practical contexts. Possible explanations are considered,
and the quest...
What Good Are Positive Emotions?
Tập 2 Số 3 - Trang 300-319 - 1998
This article opens by noting that positive emotions do not fit existing models
of emotions. Consequently, a new model is advanced to describe the form and
function of a subset of positive emotions, including joy, interest, contentment,
and love. This new model posits that these positive emotions serve to broaden an
individual's momentary thought–action repertoire, which in turn has the effect
of b...
Pursuing Happiness: The Architecture of Sustainable Change
Tập 9 Số 2 - Trang 111-131 - 2005
The pursuit of happiness is an important goal for many people. However,
surprisingly little scientific research has focused on the question of how
happiness can be increased and then sustained, probably because of pessimism
engendered by the concepts of genetic determinism and hedonic adaptation.
Nevertheless, emerging sources of optimism exist regarding the possibility of
permanent increases in h...
Beyond Big and Little: The Four C Model of Creativity
Tập 13 Số 1 - Trang 1-12 - 2009
Most investigations of creativity tend to take one of two directions: everyday
creativity (also called “little-c”), which can be found in nearly all people,
and eminent creativity (also called “Big-C”), which is reserved for the great.
In this paper, the authors propose a Four C model of creativity that expands
this dichotomy. Specifically, the authors add the idea of “mini-c,” creativity
inherent...
Heart Rate Variability as an Index of Regulated Emotional Responding
Tập 10 Số 3 - Trang 229-240 - 2006
The study of individual differences in emotional responding can provide
considerable insight into interpersonal dynamics and the etiology of
psychopathology. Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis is emerging as an
objective measure of regulated emotional responding (generating emotional
responses of appropriate timing and magnitude). This review provides a
theoretical and empirical rationale for t...
What (and Why) is Positive Psychology?
Tập 9 Số 2 - Trang 103-110 - 2005
Positive psychology is the study of the conditions and processes that contribute
to the flourishing or optimal functioning of people, groups, and institutions.
In this brief introduction, the authors give examples of current work in
positive psychology and try to explain why the positive psychology movement has
grown so quickly in just 5 years. They suggest that it filled a need: It guided
researc...
The State of Psychological Ownership: Integrating and Extending a Century of Research
Tập 7 Số 1 - Trang 84-107 - 2003
People develop feelings of ownership for a variety of objects, material and
immaterial in nature. We refer to this state as psychological ownership.
Building on and extending previous scholarship, the authors offer a conceptual
examination of this construct. After defining psychological ownership, they
address “why” it exists and “how” it comes into being. They propose that this
state finds its ro...
Adult Romantic Attachment: Theoretical Developments, Emerging Controversies, and Unanswered Questions
Tập 4 Số 2 - Trang 132-154 - 2000
The authors review the theory of romantic, or pair-bond, attachment as it was
originally formulated by C. Hazan and P. R. Shaver in 1987 and describe how it
has evolved over more than a decade. In addition, they discuss 5 issues related
to the theory that need further clarification: (a) the nature of attachment
relationships, (b) the evolution and function of attachment in adulthood, (c)
models of...
