Smith and colleagues developed the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) to assess individual ability recover from stress despite significant adversity. This study aimed validate German version of BRS. We used data a population-based (sample 1: n = 1.481) representative 2: 1.128) sample participants general population (age ≥ 18) reliability validity. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were conducted compare one- two-factorial models previous studies with method-factor model which especially accounts...
There is an active debate regarding whether the ego depletion effect real. A recent preregistered experiment with Stroop task as depleting and antisaccade outcome found a medium-level size. In current research, we conducted multilab replication of that experiment. Data from 12 labs across globe (N = 1,775) revealed small significant effect, d 0.10. After excluding participants who might have responded randomly during task, size increased to 0.16. By adding informative, unbiased data point...
Self-control is the ability to (1) initiate, and (2) persist in boring, difficult or disliked activity, (3) inhibit impulses act. We explored self-regulatory strategies that people use for these three types of self-control conflicts their subjective efficacy as a function conflict type. In addition, we hypothesized who more frequently create strategy-situation fit by tying they are effective for, successful at self-control. A pilot study identified 22 different could be used than one type...
Background Many existing scales for microstressor assessment do not differentiate between objective (ie, observable) stressor events and stressful cognitions or concerns. They often mix items assessing with measuring other aspects of stress, such as perceived severity, the evoked stress reaction, further consequences on health, which may result in spurious associations studies that include questionnaires measure constructs. Most were developed several decades ago; therefore, modern life...
While self-compassion (SC) has mostly been understood as a stable trait-like property, growing evidence suggests that it may fluctuate over time within given individual. However, little is known on how these fluctuations relate to affective well-being and dynamics, such emotional inertia stress reactivity in daily life.A sample of 119 non-clinical individuals (mean age: 31.3 years, 53.8% female) completed 7-day smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment study with six semi-random...
Research on self-control has increasingly acknowledged the importance of self-regulatory strategies, with strategies in earlier stages developing tempting impulse thought to be more effective than later stages. However, recent research emotion regulation moved away from assuming that some are per se and across situations adaptive others. Instead, strategy use is variable fit situational demands considered adaptive. In present research, we transfer this dynamic process perspective context...
Recent research has demonstrated the adaptiveness of variability in emotion regulation (ER) by showing that between and, when controlled for depression, within ER strategies as assessed via standard deviation was associated with less negative affect. We first replicated associations affect using relative deviation, which is confounded mean. Second, following on dynamics, we extended this line examining five additional dynamic measures covering instability, inertia, predictability,...
Despite increasing evidence suggesting that music listening in daily life has stress-reducing effects, studies mostly rely on subjective, retrospective data listening. Thus, the temporal dynamics underlying effect of remain unclear. Therefore, we aimed to examine associations between stress and by assessing subjective objective life.An exploratory Ambulatory Assessment study examining a total 60 participants (37 women), aged 18 34 years (M = 22.4 years, SD 3.5) was conducted.For 1 week,...
Mindfulness plays an important role in moderating affect dynamics. To date, associations between mindfulness and dynamics have mostly been examined with as a trait-like characteristic. However, examining momentary could reveal within-person processes underlying wellbeing. The present study first dispositional 1-dimensional well multifaceted construct relation to (instability, inertia, valence switch). We further investigated how predicts dynamics, training influences daily life. A final...
Mindfulness is associated with a wide range of beneficial outcomes such as well-being. However, less known about the mechanisms underlying these benefits. Some researchers suggest that benefits could be driven by emotion regulation, either improving effectiveness regulation or lessening need for effortful regulation. By using two longitudinal Ambulatory Assessment data sets (NStudy1 = 125, NStudy2 175), based on six-week randomised controlled trial and one-week study, we tested competing...
Abstract Objective Self‐control is positively connected to well‐being, but less known about what, on the mechanistic level, explains this association. We hypothesized five pathways how connection could be explained by emotion regulation, that is, facilitating (a) strategy effectiveness, (b), adaptive selection, (c) situation (d) variability, or (e) social sharing. Method To explore these pathways, we integrated two ambulatory assessment data sets ( N = 250 participants, 22,796 observations)...
Neuroticism is an important predictor of well-being that conceptualized by high levels mean negative affect and variability. However, research has shown variability only explained limited additional variance in neuroticism when the confound with was accounted for using a modified version standard deviation ( SD), relative RSD). Here, we (a) examined suitability RSD as measure, (b) introduced number episodes alternative measure variability, (c) investigated relationship between accounting...
Abstract Reappraisal and mindfulness represent two fundamentally different but interconnected ways of dealing with one’s emotions: whereas reappraisal is aimed at changing thoughts emotions, not immediately changing, appreciating them. Despite this difference, prior research has shown that both are beneficial for affective well-being. However, on the spontaneous use in daily life found they might be differentially associated positive negative affect, mindful attention being more strongly...
We explore the idea that inhibitory self-control and prohedonic emotion regulation may be incompatible concerns.
Although the importance of contextual factors is often recognised, research on emotion regulation strategies (ERS) has mainly focused so far effectiveness ERS across situations. In present research, we tested strategy-situation fit hypothesis, which does not assume general but instead stresses congruency between and contexts in they are used. Using a longitudinal Ambulatory Assessment dataset (N = 138), found that controllability situation positively moderated interpersonal ERS, such that,...
Self-control is an important ability in everyday life, showing associations with health-related outcomes. The aim of the and Mindfulness within Ambulatorily assessed network Systems across Health-related domains (SMASH) study twofold: first, effectiveness a computer-based mindfulness training will be evaluated randomized controlled trial. Second, SMASH implements novel approach order to investigate complex temporal interdependencies self-control networks several domains.The two-armed,...
Research based on the process model of emotion regulation has largely focused affective outcomes four prominent strategies: distraction, rumination, reappraisal, and suppression. We identified two areas that are relatively understudied regarding prediction affect in daily life: (a) comparing importance these strategies to subjective experience event intensity (b) including additional focus more positive than negative affect. In ecological momentary assessment data sets (Nindividuals = 299),...
