Identifying the goals and strategies people use to make others feel worse

该项目旨在确定人们用来让他人感觉更糟的目标和策略，影响目标形成的情境因素，以及不同策略的相对影响。该项目将开发一个新的理论框架，将情绪调节理论应用到一个新的领域(恶化他人的情绪)，通过密集的纵向方法、实验研究和15个以上国家的跨国比较来检验预测。预期结果包括对支撑厌恶互动的普遍心理过程的新知识，增强国际合作的能力，以及政策指导。好处包括有可能改善减少工作场所欺凌和家庭暴力的计划。

This project aims to identify the goals and strategies people use to make others feel worse, the situation factors affecting goal formation, and the relative impact of different strategies. The project will develop a novel theoretical framework by applying emotion regulation theory a new area (worsening others' emotions), testing predictions through intensive longitudinal methods, experimental studies and a cross-national comparison of 15+ countries. Expected outcomes include new knowledge of the universal psychological processes that underpin aversive interactions, enhanced capacity for international collaboration, and policy guidance. Benefits include the potential to improve programs to decrease workplace bullying and domestic violence.
