对同一情绪诱发事件的情感反应的特征强度存在很大的个体差异。当个体暴露于同样的情感刺激时，个体经历强烈或温和的情感反应的过程仍然不清楚。在这些研究中，我们提出，个体差异的影响强度与某些认知操作过程中使用的暴露于情绪相关的刺激。具体而言，认知操作，涉及个性化，概括，和选择性抽象的假设，以区分受试者的高和低的影响强度。两项研究重复了对这一假设的支持，即情感强度维度高的受试者比情感强度维度低的受试者进行更多的个性化/同理心和更多的概括/精心的认知操作。同样的认知操作区分组高和低的影响强度，积极和消极的情绪刺激。此外，认知，歧视科目高，低的影响强度只发生在情感刺激，中性刺激并没有引起这两组不同的认知操作。最后，高度的一致性被发现在使用情绪相关的认知操作，积极和消极的情感刺激。
There are wide individual differences in the characteristic intensity of affective response to the same emotion-evoking event. The processes whereby individuals come to experience strong or mild emotional responses when exposed to the same affect-provoking stimuli are still unclear. In these studies, we propose that individual differences in affect intensity are associated with certain cognitive operations used during exposure to emotion-relevant stimuli. Specifically, cognitive operations that involve personalizing, generalizing, and selective abstraction were hypothesized to discriminate subjects high and low in affect intensity. Two studies replicated support for the hypothesis that subjects high on the affect-intensity dimension engage in more personalizing/empathic and more generalizing/elaborative cognitive operations than do subjects low on the affect-intensity dimension. The same cognitive operations discriminated groups high and low in affect intensity in response to both positive and negative emotional stimuli. Also, the cognitions that discriminated subjects high and low in affect intensity occurred only in response to affective stimuli; neutral stimuli did not evoke divergent cognitive operations for these two groups. Finally, a high degree of consistency was found in the use of emotion-relevant cognitive operations across positive and negative affective stimuli.
