Emotion differentiation and its relation with emotional well-being in adolescents.
COGNITION & EMOTION(2018)
摘要
Emotion differentiation (ED) refers to the precision with which people can identify and distinguish their emotions and has been associated with well-being in adults. This study investigated ED and its relation with emotional well-being (i.e.depressive symptoms, positivity and negativity intensity and propensity, implicit theories of emotions) in adolescents. We used an experience sampling method with 72 participants (M-age=14.00, 71% girls) to assess adolescents' positive and negative emotions at different time points over the course of twoweekends and a baseline questionnaire to assess emotional well-being. Differentiating negative emotions was related to less negativity intensity and propensity, and to the belief that emotions are malleable. Differentiating positiveemotions was not related to any of the assessed well-being variables.Together, these results suggest that a detailed awareness of one's negative emotional states is an important dimension of well-being, also in adolescence.
