本研究探讨了接受负面情绪体验的倾向是否会缓冲个体在负面情绪情况下（研究1）和面对生活压力时（研究2）出现抑郁症状时的负面情绪升高。这两项研究都检查了女性样本。本研究从四个方面扩展了现有的接受研究。首先，它检验了在最重要的情况下，接受是否具有有益的相关性：在情绪紧张的情况下（相对于更中性的情况）。第二，在研究2中，采用了前瞻性设计，在遇到压力之前和测量结果之前测量接受度。第三，抑郁症状（而不是一般功能或创伤症状）作为一个特别相关的结果在压力的背景下进行了检查。第四，为了提高普遍性，招募了一个社区样本（相对于本科生或纯粹的临床样本）。结果表明，在消极情绪诱导过程中，接受与消极情绪减少相关，但在情感中性条件下则不相关（研究1）。在研究2中，接受与生活压力相互作用，接受预测较低水平的抑郁症状后，更高，但不是更低，生活压力。这些结果表明，接受负面经历可能会保护个人免受负面影响和发展抑郁症状。
The present studies examined whether a tendency to accept negative emotional experiences buffers individuals from experiencing elevated negative affect during negative emotional situations (Study 1) and from developing depressive symptoms in the face of life stress (Study 2). Both studies examined female samples. This research expands on existing acceptance research in four ways. First, it examined whether acceptance has beneficial correlates when it matters most: in emotionally taxing (versus more neutral) contexts. Second, in Study 2 a prospective design was used in which acceptance was measured before stress was encountered and before outcomes were measured. Third, depressive symptoms (rather than general functioning or trauma symptoms) were examined as a particularly relevant outcome in the context of stress. Fourth, to enhance generalizability, a community sample (versus undergraduates or a purely clinical sample) was recruited. Results indicated that acceptance was correlated with decreased negative affect during a negative emotion induction but not an affectively neutral condition (Study 1). In Study 2, acceptance interacted with life stress such that acceptance predicted lower levels of depressive symptoms after higher, but not lower, life stress. These results suggest that accepting negative experiences may protect individuals from experiencing negative affect and from developing depressive symptoms.
