与神经质相关的痛苦的临床观点经常提到强化这种经历的持久的心理过程。目前的 7 项研究涉及 488 名本科生参与者,其目标是直接检验这种持久的过程。反应持久性的个体差异通过连续试验中切换(与重复)反应的选择反应时间困难来操作。在预测负面情绪、对生活的不满和负面情绪的表现方面,反应坚持与神经质相互作用(研究1-4)。具体来说,在高水平的坚持下,神经质与结果的关系会更强一些。其他研究(研究 5-7)为反应持续性的收敛和判别有效性提供了支持。总体而言,结果强调了持续反应强化负面情绪体验的方式。
Clinical views of neuroticism-linked distress often make reference to the perseverative sorts of mental processes that reinforce such experiences. The goal of the present 7 studies, involving 488 undergraduate participants, was to directly examine such perseverative processes. Individual differences in response perseveration were operationalized in terms of choice reaction time difficulties switching (vs. repeating) responses across consecutive trials. Response perseveration interacted with neuroticism in predicting negative emotion, dissatisfaction with life, and displays of negative emotion (Studies 1-4). Specifically, neuroticism-outcome relations were quite a bit stronger at high levels of perseveration. Additional studies (Studies 5-7) provided support for the convergent and discriminant validity of response perseveration. Overall, the results highlight the manner in which response perseveration reinforces experiences of negative emotion.
