积极情绪的扩展和构建理论预测，积极情绪扩大了注意力和认知的范围，因此，开始朝着增加情绪幸福感的方向上升。本研究通过检验积极情感和开阔的应对方式是否具有预测性和前瞻性来评估这一预测。138名大学生完成了自我报告的影响和应对措施，在两个评估期间间隔5周。作为假设，回归分析表明，最初的积极影响，而不是消极影响，预测改善了广阔的应对，和最初的广阔的应对预测增加积极的影响，但不是减少消极的影响。进一步的中介分析表明，积极情感和宽容应对是相互促进的。这些研究结果为积极情感启动向上的螺旋式上升以增强情感幸福感的预测提供了前瞻性证据。临床实践和健康促进的影响进行了讨论。
The broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions predicts that positive emotions broaden the scopes of attention and cognition, and, by consequence, initiate upward spirals toward increasing emotional well-being. The present study assessed this prediction by testing whether positive affect and broad-minded coping reciprocally and prospectively predict one another. One hundred thirty-eight college students completed self-report measures of affect and coping at two assessment periods 5 weeks apart. As hypothesized, regression analyses showed that initial positive affect, but not negative affect, predicted improved broad-minded coping, and initial broad-minded coping predicted increased positive affect, but not reductions in negative affect. Further mediational analyses showed that positive affect and broad-minded coping serially enhanced one another These findings provide prospective evidence to support the prediction that positive emotions initiate upward spirals toward enhanced emotional wellbeing. Implications for clinical practice and health promotion are discussed.
