时间距离（TD）是一种很有前途但研究不足的情绪调节策略，涉及反思一个人在未来很长一段时间后的感受。尽管有限，但现有的证据表明，TD是评价负面事件的一种有益方式。实验研究已经证明了因果关系：在实验室中，情境性地使用TD（例如，当想到一个负面事件时）会带来短期的情感益处。此外，相关研究表明，习惯性使用可以预测更好的长期幸福感。然而，仍有几个悬而未决的问题。首先，我们并不完全了解习惯性TD和日常生活中的情绪之间的联系。第二，我们不完全了解每日TD，无论是在几天内的平均值还是在个人内的波动。我们进行了一项为期8天的日记研究，以测试TD和情绪反应之间的关联，以三个不同的措施，每天的压力事件在两个层次的分析：习惯性TD评估与调查，平均每天TD跨天，和人内波动TD跨天（N= 155参与者，837观察）。TD与较低的负面情绪在人的水平和更大的积极情绪在这两个层面。总的来说，这些研究结果表明，TD-平均和波动的人-是与一个有益的模式，日常情绪体验，这可能会支持整体福祉。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2023阿帕，保留所有权利）
Temporal distancing (TD) is a promising yet understudied emotion regulation strategy that involves reflecting on how one will feel much later in the future. Although limited, the available evidence suggests that TD is a beneficial way to appraise negative events. Experimental studies have demonstrated causality: Situational use of TD (eg, when thinking about a negative event) confers short-term emotional benefits in the laboratory. In addition, correlational studies show that habitual use predicts better long-term well-being. However, several open questions remain. First, we do not fully understand associations between habitual TD and emotions in daily life. Second, we do not fully understand daily TD, either on average across days or fluctuating within person. We conducted an 8-day diary study to test associations between TD and emotional responses to daily stressful events for three distinct measures at two levels of analysis: habitual TD assessed with a survey, average daily TD across days, and within-person fluctuations in TD across days (N= 155 participants, 837 observations). TD was associated with lower negative emotion at the within-person level and with greater positive emotion at both levels. Overall, these findings suggest that TD—on average and fluctuating within person—is associated with a beneficial pattern of daily emotional experiences, which may support overall well-being.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
