本研究考察了短期情绪表达与内化和外化情绪学维度评分之间的关系。短期情绪,定义为面部或声音的情绪表现,一般持续不到10秒,并引起了一个特定的和近端的事件,在休息期间观察到71名儿童从不同的社会经济背景,谁是4至8岁。通过家长和教师问卷调查评估内化和外化行为学。从同龄人那里获得了关于儿童愤怒和攻击性的社会计量评级。根据Tomkins(1979)和其他人的假设,一种情感在个体的情感体验中占主导地位。对这一概念的不同操作方法进行了审查。使用回归分析,外化心理学被发现是由更高水平的愤怒,更低水平的幸福和更低水平的悲伤预测。研究发现,较高的悲伤水平和较低的愤怒水平可以预测内化情绪。根据这些数据得出结论,短期情绪与内化和外化精神病理学之间的关系最好理解为不同短期情绪之间的平衡。结果进行了讨论的背景下,情绪及其功能的理论。
In this study, the relationship between short-term emotion expressions and dimensional ratings of internalizing and externalizing symptomatology was examined. Short-term emotions, defined as facial or vocal displays of emotion generally lasting less than 10 seconds and elicited by a specific and proximal event, were observed during recess in 71 children from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, who were between 4 and 8 years old. Internalizing and externalizing symptomatology was assessed through parent and teacher questionnaire. Sociometric ratings were obtained from peers on children's anger and aggression. It was hypothesized following Tomkins (1979) and others that one affect becomes predominant in the emotional experience of the individual. Different operationalizations of this concept were examined. Using regression analyses, externalizing symptomatology was found to be predicted by higher levels of anger, lower levels of happiness, and lower levels of sadness. Internalizing symptomatology was found to be predicted by higher levels of sadness and lower levels of anger. It was concluded on the basis of these data that the relationship between short-term emotion and internalizing and externalizing psychopathology is best understood as the balance between different short-term emotions. Results are discussed in the context of theories of emotion and their functions.
