在两项研究中，我们研究了个体对消极事件和积极事件反应的差异。在第一项研究中，参与者（119 名大学生）报告了自己生活中的消极和积极事件。第二个实验是向参与者（133 名大学生）提供有关其性格的负面或正面反馈。对于负面事件，更不安全的人，尤其是焦虑型依恋者，表现出更强烈的负面情绪反应和更多地处理（即反思）负面经历。对于积极的事件，安全依恋的人和不太焦虑的人会更多地处理积极的经历（最大化），而更不安全的人往往会最小化积极的经历。情绪调节的性别差异受到依恋或事件类型的调节。消极事件的研究结果通常与之前的研究一致，而积极事件的研究结果提供了新的证据，表明依恋风格可能会影响人们对积极事件和情绪的反应。
In two studies, we examined inter-individual variability in responses to both negative and positive events. In the first study, participants (119 college students) reported on negative and positive events from their own lives. The second was an experiment in which participants (133 college students) were given either negative or positive feedback about their personality. With negative events, more insecure individuals, especially anxiously attached, evidenced more intense negative emotional reactions and greater processing of (i.e., ruminating on) negative experiences. With positive events, securely attached individuals and less anxiously attached engaged in greater processing of positive experiences (maximized), whereas more insecure individuals tended to minimize positive experiences. Gender differences for emotion regulation were moderated by either attachment or event type. Findings for negative events generally coincide with prior research, and those for positive events provide new evidence that attachment style could affect how people react to positive events and emotions.
