Negative emotions happen every day and those thoughts and feelings can undermine a person's success and health. Research shows that the harmful effects of negative emotions are greater among Americans compared to East Asians. This project focuses on understanding how negative emotions assert their negative influence. It considers whether the way a person views and interprets negative emotions influences the effects of those emotions. One theory is that unfavorable beliefs about negative emotions make those negative emotions more harmful. The primary hypothesis is that negative emotions per se are not negative. How people respond to those negative emotions, however, produces the negative outcomes. Research suggests that Americans, compared to East Asians, view negative emotions as more harmful. Such differences in how people think about negative emotions produce the negative outcomes. This project lays the foundation for the design of interventions that promote more effective ways to respond to negative emotions. The research will help teachers improve the learning and success of their students and help counselors who work with patients who have mood and anxiety disorders. This project examines the cognitive, physiological, mental health, and performance outcomes of cultural differences in beliefs about negative emotions. Multiple behavioral experiments examine how people respond to stressful events. Measures of cognitive, behavioral, and hormonal responses are used to compare American with East Asian samples. Stress responses to emotional experiences and arousal are measured via cortisol. Participants respond to different demanding tasks (such as giving a speech or doing difficult math problems) to test for performance and physiological reaction differences to the stressors. Interpretations of one's negative emotions are measured to test for subsequent outcome differences in stress and performance. This project helps to develop more general principles about the causes and effects of negative emotions. In addition to advancing the fields of psychology and affective neuroscience, this research offers many practical and applied implications for improving student success and developing interventions for patients with mood and anxiety disorders.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

消极情绪每天都在发生，这些想法和感受会破坏一个人的成功和健康。研究表明，与东亚人相比，美国人的负面情绪的有害影响更大。这个项目的重点是了解负面情绪如何发挥其负面影响。它考虑一个人看待和解释负面情绪的方式是否会影响这些情绪的影响。一种理论认为，对消极情绪的不利信念会使这些消极情绪更加有害。主要的假设是，消极情绪本身并不是消极的。然而，人们对这些负面情绪的反应会产生负面结果。研究表明，与东亚人相比，美国人认为负面情绪更有害。人们对负面情绪的看法的这种差异会产生负面结果。该项目为设计干预措施奠定了基础，这些干预措施促进了更有效地应对负面情绪的方法。这项研究将帮助教师提高学生的学习和成功，并帮助辅导员谁与病人谁有情绪和焦虑症。 这个项目研究了认知，生理，心理健康和表现结果的文化差异的信念有关的负面情绪。多个行为实验研究人们如何应对压力事件。认知、行为和激素反应的测量用于比较美国人与东亚人的样本。对情绪体验和唤醒的压力反应是通过皮质醇来测量的。参与者对不同要求的任务（如演讲或做困难的数学题）做出反应，以测试对压力源的表现和生理反应差异。对一个人消极情绪的解释被用来测试压力和表现的后续结果差异。这个项目有助于发展关于负面情绪的原因和影响的更普遍的原则。除了推动心理学和情感神经科学领域的发展外，这项研究还为提高学生的成功率和为情绪和焦虑症患者制定干预措施提供了许多实际和应用的影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
