人们对事件的最初情绪反应各不相同，我们开始了解这些反应及其对心理健康的普遍影响。然而，人们在如何思考和反应他们的初始情绪（即情绪判断）方面也有所不同。反过来，人们如何判断自己的情绪--主要是积极的还是消极的--可能对心理健康有着至关重要的影响。在2017年至2022年收集的五个MTurk和本科生样本（总N= 1，647）中，我们调查了习惯性情绪判断的性质（目标1）及其与心理健康的关联（目标2）。在目标1中，我们发现了四种不同的习惯性情绪判断，它们根据判断的效价（积极或消极）和被判断的情绪的效价（积极或消极）而有所不同。习惯性情绪判断的个体差异随时间的推移是适度稳定的，与概念相关的结构（例如，情感评价，情绪偏好，压力心态，元情绪）和更广泛的特质（即，外倾性，神经质，特质情绪）相关，但不是多余的。在目标2中，积极情绪的积极判断与更好的心理健康唯一相关，消极情绪的消极判断与更差的心理健康唯一相关，同时和前瞻性，高于其他类型的情绪判断，高于概念相关的结构和更广泛的特质。这项研究深入了解了人们如何判断自己的情绪，这些判断如何与其他情绪相关的结构，以及它们对心理健康的影响。
People differ in their initial emotional responses to events, and we are beginning to understand these responses and their pervasive implications for psychological health. However, people also differ in how they think about and react to their initial emotions (ie, emotion judgments). In turn, how people judge their emotions—as predominantly positive or negative—may have crucial implications for psychological health. Across five MTurk and undergraduate samples collected between 2017 and 2022 (total N= 1,647), we investigated the nature of habitual emotion judgments (Aim 1) and their associations with psychological health (Aim 2). In Aim 1, we found four distinct habitual emotion judgments that differ according to the valence of the judgment (positive or negative) and the valence of the emotion being judged (positive or negative). Individual differences in habitual emotion judgments were moderately stable across time and were associated with, but not redundant with, conceptually related constructs (eg, affect valuation, emotion preferences, stress mindsets, meta-emotions) and broader traits (ie, extraversion, neuroticism, trait emotions). In Aim 2, positive judgments of positive emotions were uniquely associated with better psychological health and negative judgments of negative emotions were uniquely associated with worse psychological health concurrently and prospectively, above and beyond the other types of emotion judgments, and above and beyond conceptually related constructs and broader traits. This research gives insight into how people judge their emotions, how these judgments relate to other emotion-related constructs, and their implications for psychological health.
