Adolescence is marked by elevated levels of negative affect (NA) and a crucial period for the development emotion regulation (ER). To date, relatively little known about how adolescents' daily use different ER strategies (ERS) associated with momentary affective experiences. elucidate these dynamics, we investigated whether (a) within-person differences in using ERS were related to NA positive affect, (b) variability (operationalized as between-strategy variability) was (c) stressor...

Emotion differentiation—distinctively labeling emotions—is theorized to guide adolescents in regulating emotions amid changing daily-life situations. Momentary fluctuations emotion differentiation are expected introduce variability using regulation strategies, leading sequential intensity changes. Using five experience sampling datasets (N = 750, aged 11–25, 59.17% female, 25,834 observations) that repeatedly assess and variability, we examined their interaction impact on intensity....

To adapt to changing situations in daily lives, adolescents vary the intensity of strategies or switch between regulate their emotions. This emotion regulation variability is thought be enhanced by differentiation, which refers how well distinctively label We tested this assumption five experience sampling method datasets, repeatedly assessed differentiation and 750 adolescents’ life (aged 11 25, 59.17% female, 25834 observations). Unexpectedly, moments higher were followed more consistent...

Recent evidence suggests that reward prediction errors (RPEs) play an important role in declarative learning, but its neurophysiological mechanism remains unclear. Here, we tested the hypothesis RPEs modulate learning via theta-frequency oscillations, which have been related to memory encoding prior work. For purpose, examined interaction between RPE and transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS) learning. Using a between-subject (real versus sham stimulation group), single-blind...

Objectives This study aimed to investigate the associations between day-to-day work-related stress exposures (i.e., job demands and lack of control), strain, next-day work engagement among office workers in academic settings. Additionally, we assessed influence psychological detachment relaxation on tested for interaction effects these recovery variables relationship stressors engagement. Methods Office from two settings Belgium Slovenia were recruited. is based an Ecological Momentary...

Abstract Purpose We investigated relations between day-to-day job demands, control, strain, social support at work, and work–life interference among office workers in academia. Methods This study is based on a 15-working day data collection period using an Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) implemented our self-developed STRAW smartphone application. recruited from two academic settings Belgium Slovenia. Participants were repeatedly asked to complete EMAs including work stressors...

The experience of practitioners who encounter mistreatment an older adult with dementia by a caregiver in the home has received little attention literature. A critical research methodology aimed to understand professional agency, ability control outcomes and act meaningful way, health social service when encountering these cases home. Fifty-one from urban, rural Northeastern communities Ontario participated semi-structured interviews, reflective journals, as well focus group discussions....
