本文描述了一系列使用日常过程范式的研究,以描述和理解那些经历频繁和强烈的各种负面情绪的人的情感动力学。在几项研究中,社区居民每天或在一天结束时多次报告问题的发生和影响。我们发现可靠的证据表明,在神经质中得分高(与低)的人报告了更多的日常问题,倾向于以更严重的情绪做出反应,经历了更多的情绪溢出,并且对反复出现的问题表现出更强的反应(“神经质级联”)。神经症患者对压力的敏感性似乎延伸到所有类型的问题,而人格的某些其他方面(例如,易受攻击性)与对特定问题的高度反应有关。这项研究表明,日常过程研究如何提供洞察力的经典问题,在该领域的个体差异。
This article describes a series of studies using the daily process paradigm to describe and understand the affective dynamics of people who experience frequent and intense bouts of a wide range of negative emotions. In several studies, community residents reported on problem occurrence and affect several times a day or at the end of the day. We found reliable evidence that persons who scored high (vs. low) in Neuroticism reported more daily problems, tended to react with more severe emotions, experienced more mood spillover from prior occasions, and exhibited stronger reactions to recurring problems (the "neurotic cascade"). The susceptibility of neurotics to stress seems to extend to all types of problems while certain other dimensions of personality (e.g., Agreeableness) are associated with hyperreactivity to particular kinds of problems. The research demonstrates how daily process research can provide insight about classic problems in the field of individual differences.
