What goals do people have for who they want to be emotionally? Exploring long-term emotional goals.

The goals that people have for their emotions are crucial for whether emotion regulation is pursued, as well as the regulation strategies people select. However, emotional goals may extend beyond the emotions people want to feel to include long-term goals for how people want to be emotionally in the future. In two studies, we qualitatively explored people's long-term emotional goals (i.

The dynamics of emotion-related impulsivity: An analysis of momentary self-efficacy and daily emotion-driven urges and actions via ecological momentary assessment.

Emotion-related impulsivity-the engagement in impulsive reactions specifically in response to emotions-is considered a transdiagnostic factor underlying psychopathology. The reflexive responding to emotion (RRE) model of emotion-related impulsivity (Carver et al., 2008) suggests that sensitivities to reward and threat in combination with control over emotion are factors that result in internalizing and externalizing psychopathology.

Association of Knowledge and Health Habits with Physiological Hydration Status.

The association of hydration knowledge and health habits with hydration status and fluid intake is rarely examined. We sought to determine whether knowledge or physical health behaviors predict physiological hydration status and fluid intake. Ninety-six participants (59 female; 27 ± 10 year) completed the previously validated hydration survey.

"I'm so dumb and worthless ": factors associated with heightened momentary self-criticism in daily life.

Self-criticism is a trait associated with increased psychopathology, but self-criticism is also a personality state reflecting an action that people in moments of time. In the current study, we explored factors associated with heightened self-criticism in daily life. Participants (197) received five random prompts per day for one week on their mobile phones, where they reported their current affect (negative and positive affect), willpower self-efficacy, distress intolerance, degree of support and criticism from others, current context (location, activity, hunger, tiredness) and momentary self-criticism.

I can't handle my desires: Development and validation of a self-report measure of desire intolerance and associations with distress intolerance.

Desire intolerance is conceptualized as a motivational counterpoint to the transdiagnostic risk factor of distress intolerance and is defined as the inability or unwillingness to "sit with" the motivation to approach a rewarding object or task. The current work describes the development and validation of a novel measure of desire intolerance. After initial item development and exploratory factor analysis (Study 1) and confirmatory factor analysis (Study 2), the 10-item unidimensional Desire Intolerance Questionnaire (DIQ) was created.

Hovering or invalidating? Examining nuances in the associations between controlling parents and problematic outcomes for college students.

: The purpose of these studies was to examine whether college students' beliefs about themselves (i.e., self-compassion and beliefs about emotions) could be mechanisms explaining the relationship between problematic parenting behaviors (helicopter parenting and parental invalidation) and outcomes including perfectionism, affective distress, locus of control, and distress tolerance.

The dynamics of smoking quit motivation in daily life: Associations with momentary self-regulation and nightly quit intentions.

Due to prior work suggesting dynamic fluctuations in quit motivation over time, the current study used ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to examine contextual predictors of momentary quit motivation, most notably perceived self-regulation. The sample (n = 84) intentionally excluded smokers actively trying to quit and those who plan to never quit, focusing on the group of smokers who are interested in but not yet committed to quitting. Participants completed one week of EMA, where they responded to random prompts 7x/day and logged each cigarette.

The Self-Invalidation Due to Emotion Scale: Development and psychometric properties.

Self-stigma involves internalized negative evaluation in people with a societally prescribed label (i.e., mental health diagnosis).

Because you had a bad day: the role of negative affect and justification in self-control failure.

Justification thinking (using excuses to "allow" giving into temptation) has been identified as a potential link between negative affect and self-control failure. We hypothesised that negative affect would prompt greater justification thinking, specifically deservingness thinking (i.e.

Perceived emotion invalidation predicts daily affect and stressors.

Background And Objectives: Perceived emotion invalidation is linked to the development or worsening of a variety of emotional and physical health conditions. However, prior studies are largely cross-sectional and whether there are day-to-day effects of generally feeling invalidated is unknown.

Design: We examined the relations between perceived emotion invalidation and momentary affect, average daily affect, and the experience of daily stressors among a sample of young adults using ecological momentary assessment (EMA).

Cognition and affect in imagined and recalled scenarios as a function of a specificity manipulation: An experience sampling study.

Previous work has examined the effect of specificity and temporal focus (i.e., memory vs.

Assessing the Within-Person Variability of Internal and External Sexual Consent.

Sexual consent is often conceptualized as an internal willingness to engage in sexual activity, which can be communicated externally to a sexual partner. Internal sexual consent comprises feelings of physical response, safety/comfort, arousal, agreement/want, and readiness; external sexual consent includes communication cues that may be explicit or implicit and verbal or nonverbal. Most previous research on sexual consent has focused on between-person differences; little attention has been devoted to examining the within-person variation of sexual consent across time.

Developing Valid and Feasible Measures of Sexual Consent for Experience Sampling Methodology.

Preliminary evidence indicates that people's sexual consent (i.e., their willingness to engage in sexual activity and communication of that willingness) varies across time and context.

Severity of personality dysfunction predicts affect and self-efficacy in daily life.

According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) alterative model of personality disorders, severity of personality dysfunction theoretically involves deficits in identity, self-direction, empathy, and intimacy. We predicted that people with greater personality dysfunction would experience more problems in daily life, particularly problems associated with self-efficacy for engaging with affect and self-control (i.e.

Disentangling beliefs about emotions from emotion schemas.

Objective: The current study sought to empirically evaluate a new clinical tool, the Individual Beliefs about Emotion (IBAE) which assesses nine beliefs about emotion. The goal was to examine the overlap of the IBAE with the Leahy Emotional Schema Scale (LESS), indices of psychopathology, and emotion dysregulation.

Method: Participants (n = 513) completed the IBAE, the LESS, and measures of affective distress, borderline personality features, and emotion dysregulation.

Beliefs About Emotion Shift Dynamically Alongside Momentary Affect.

This study examined if beliefs about emotion change across emotional contexts in daily life, and it investigated whether people with prominent features of borderline personality pathology experience greater shifts in emotion beliefs during emotional states. Undergraduate participants with ( = 49) and without borderline features ( = 50) completed a 1-week ecological momentary assessment study where they provided ratings of affect, nine different beliefs about emotion, and indicators of momentary self-efficacy. Results support the notion of beliefs as relatively schematic.

Risk factors associated with mental illness in hospital discharged patients infected with COVID-19 in Wuhan, China.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic can have a profound impact on the mental health of patients who survived the illness. However, little is known about the prevalence rate of mental health disorders among hospital discharged COVID-19 patients and its associated factors. A cross-sectional survey of hospital discharged patients was conducted April 11-22, 2020 in Wuhan, China (where the pandemic began).

Examining Facets of Mindfulness in the Relationship Between Invalidating Childhood Environments and Emotion Regulation.

Research has shown that growing up in an environment in which emotions are invalidated (i.e., ignored or responded to negatively) by parents is associated with later difficulties regulating emotions.

Differences in Distress Intolerance Among Daily and Intermittent Smokers.

Introduction: Distress intolerance is an important risk factor for smokers. Smokers have greater problems tolerating distress than nonsmokers, and distress intolerance is theoretically an important predictor of early lapse. However, much of the distress intolerance research has been conducted on daily smokers.

Shifts in momentary motivation to quit smoking based on experimental context and perceptions of motivational instability.

Background: Smoking quit intentions (i.e., plans or commitments to reduce smoking) are distinct from quit motivation (i.

Examining the links between hydration knowledge, attitudes and behavior.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the psychological factors (knowledge, barriers and facilitators) that can contribute to hydration-related behaviors (i.e., fluid intake) in the general population and how these relate to physical health.

The relationship between distress tolerance and cigarette smoking: A systematic review and synthesis.

Distress tolerance, the ability to withstand physical or emotional discomfort, is thought to be associated with cigarette smoking behavior and smoking cessation failure. A systematic review evaluated studies that linked distress tolerance to smoking. Central findings suggest that (a) distress tolerance can-but does not always-predict smoking cessation lapse, (b) treatments targeting distress tolerance are promising but need additional research, (c) lower distress tolerance does not seem to be associated with greater smoking frequency or longevity, and (d) limited work evaluates the effect of smoking context on distress tolerance.

The effect of passive heat stress on distress andself-control in male smokers and non-smokers.

In the current study, we tested the effects of core body temperature increases (e.g. heat stress) on affect, self-reported physical discomfort, and subsequent self-control in male smokers and nonsmokers using a novel passive heat stress paradigm, within a distress tolerance framework.

Examining the effect of cue exposure and introspective responses to cues on impulsivity in restrained and unrestrained eaters.

The current study extends cue-reactivity research by evaluating impulsive valuation as an outcome of exposure to food cues. This study also separates introspection after viewing cues (e.g.
