现有的文献暗示情绪修复能力是负面情绪个体差异的来源之一。这些文献中出现了三种应该预测修复能力的调节特征（负面情绪调节预期、监测、标记），但还没有对这种可能性进行实验检验。两项研究探讨了这一问题。参与者（Ns = 305，146）观看了负面影响诱导视频，并完成了修复或控制写作任务，之前和之后，他们报告了他们的影响。结果显示，广泛的个体差异的修复能力。具体来说，对修复成功期望高的参与者和那些关注并理解其影响的参与者在修复任务后经历了最大的负面影响减少和最大的正面影响增加。这些发现促进了对情感调节个体差异的理解，并对未来的研究产生了影响。
The extant literature implicates affect repair ability as one source of individual differences in negative affect. Emerging from this literature are three regulatory traits that should predict repair ability (negative mood regulation expectancies, monitoring, labeling), yet no experimental examination of this possibility exists. Two studies explored this issue. Participants (Ns = 305, 146) watched negative affect-inducing videos and completed a repair or control writing task, before and after which they reported their affect. Results revealed wide individual differences in repair ability. Specifically, participants with high expectancies of repair success and those who attend to and understand their affect experienced the largest decreases in negative affect and largest increases in positive affect following the repair tasks. These findings advance understanding of individual differences in affect regulation and have implications for future research.
