有效的情绪调节（ER）对长期健康的功能很重要，但目前对什么构成有效的ER或社交焦虑症状和不同策略如何影响短期有效性结果知之甚少。124名大学生说明了ER有效性的不同操作方式如何导致不同的短期有效性的不同结论。结果当有效性被操作为参与者判断他们的ER尝试使他们感觉更好的程度时，社交焦虑严重程度与有效性呈负相关，并且回避导向策略被判断为不如参与导向策略有效。相比之下，当有效性被操作为ER尝试后自我报告情感的变化程度时，社交焦虑严重程度与有效性无关，回避导向策略比参与导向策略更有效。社交焦虑和ER策略类型没有相互作用，无论如何有效性measured.ConclusionsThe研究突出差异时，检查两种常见的，但不同的方法来测量同样的总体有效性结构，并提出了有趣的问题，如何形式的精神病理学密切联系到情绪失调，如社交焦虑，温和的不同方式测量ER尝试的有效性。
BackgroundEffective emotion regulation (ER) is important to long‐term healthy functioning, but little is known about what constitutes effective ER in the moment or how social anxiety symptoms and different strategies influence short‐term effectiveness outcomes.MethodsIntensive ecological momentary data fromN= 124 college students illustrate how different ways of operationalizing ER effectiveness leads to different conclusions about the short‐term effectiveness of different strategies in daily life.ResultsWhen effectiveness is operationalized as the degree to which participants judged that their ER attempts made them feel better, social anxiety severity wasnegativelyassociated with effectiveness, and avoidance‐oriented strategies were judged to beless effectivethan engagement‐oriented strategies. In contrast, when effectiveness is operationalized as the degree of change in self‐reported affect following ER attempts, social anxiety severity wasnot relatedto effectiveness, and avoidance‐oriented strategies weremore effectivethan engagement‐oriented strategies. Social anxiety and ER strategy type did not interact in either model, regardless of how effectiveness was measured.ConclusionsThe study highlights discrepancies when examining two common but distinct ways of measuring the same overarching effectiveness construct, and raises intriguing questions about how forms of psychopathology that are intimately tied to emotion dysregulation, like social anxiety, moderate different ways of measuring the effectiveness of ER attempts.
