Repressive coping has been associated with elevated cardiovascular reactivity and diminished self-reported negative affect (so-called autonomic-subjective response dissociation, ASRD) in response to laboratory stressors. However, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the ecological validity of this response pattern.
An ambulatory assessment strategy was applied in order to analyze associations between ASRD and repressive coping throughout a day.
A sample of 114 individuals was recruited. Heart rate was recorded via ECG and subjective reports of negative affect as well as the experience of demand and control (as indicators of stress) and situational characteristics were assessed several times a day via mobile electronic devices.
Repressive coping relative to other coping dispositions was accompanied by elevated ASRD during stressful episodes in daily life, thus supporting previous laboratory research.
The findings suggest that repressive coping is associated with a discrepancy between subjective reports of negative affect and autonomic responding to stressful encounters in everyday life, which might impact health.
压抑应对方式与面对实验室应激源时心血管反应性升高以及自我报告的负面情绪减少(即所谓的自主-主观反应解离,ASRD)有关。然而,对于这种反应模式的生态效度缺乏了解。
采用动态评估策略,以分析一整天内ASRD与压抑应对方式之间的关联。
招募了114名个体作为样本。通过心电图记录心率,并通过移动电子设备每天多次评估负面情绪的主观报告以及需求和控制体验(作为压力指标)和情境特征。
与其他应对倾向相比,压抑应对方式在日常生活中的应激事件中伴随着ASRD升高,从而支持了先前的实验室研究。
研究结果表明,压抑应对方式与日常生活中负面情绪的主观报告和对应激遭遇的自主反应之间的差异有关,这可能会影响健康。
