Abstract

Examined the relation between affective reactivity (intensity and variability of mood) and cognitive differentiation through the personal striving (Emmons, 1986) framework in order to test the hypothesis that affective reactivity underlies differentiation. 88 Ss in 2 samples listed 15 of their personal strivings and rated them with respect to 3 measures of striving differentiation (interdependence, dissimilarity, and plans for accomplishing each). Experience-sampling and daily mood ratings were used to assess affect intensity and affect variability over a 3-week period. Emotionally reactive Ss possessed a more differentiated striving system. However, they generated fewer plans for accomplishing each striving than did less reactive Ss. Results are interpreted in terms of Larsen and Diener's (1987) arousal regulation theory of affect intensity and Linville's (1982, 1985) self-complexity/affect-extremity model.

摘要

通过个人奋斗（埃蒙斯，1986）框架研究情感反应性（情绪强度和变异性）与认知分化之间的关系，以检验情感反应性是分化基础这一假设。两个样本中的88名被试列出了他们的15项个人奋斗目标，并根据奋斗分化的三项指标（相互依存性、差异性以及实现每项奋斗目标的计划）对这些目标进行了评分。采用经验抽样和每日情绪评分来评估为期3周的情感强度和情感变异性。情绪反应强烈的被试拥有更分化的奋斗系统。然而，与反应较弱的被试相比，他们为实现每项奋斗目标所制定的计划更少。研究结果根据拉森和迪纳（1987）的情感强度唤醒调节理论以及林维尔（1982、1985）的自我复杂性/情感极端模型进行了解释。
