Emotions and self-esteem are critical components of well-being and adaptation during adolescence. People differ in their average levels of affect and self-esteem, as well as in how much their affect and self-esteem fluctuate from moment to moment. Fluctuations in affect in particular have not been extensively examined in relation to adolescent-relevant variables. The present study investigates internalizing symptoms, social functioning, and overt and relational aggression as correlates of average levels and within-person variability in daily positive and negative affect (PA and NA) and self-esteem. Crucially, unique association were examined controlling for the other variables. Early adolescents (mean age 10.8 years, = 94) completed daily diaries across four days on PA, NA, and self-esteem. They also completed general questionnaires, as did peers. Some key findings were that more internalizing symptoms were significantly associated with more variability in NA. The importance of peer relationships for adolescents' daily mean levels of PA and NA were shown. Peer-perceived social functioning was associated with less fluctuations in self-esteem. Some unexpected, non-significant, findings for aggression appeared. Finally, higher mean NA were associated with more NA fluctuations, whereas higher mean PA and self-esteem were associated with less fluctuations.
情绪和自尊是青少年时期幸福感和适应能力的关键组成部分。人们在情感和自尊的平均水平上存在差异，在情感和自尊随时间波动的程度上也存在差异。特别是情感波动，尚未与青少年相关变量进行广泛研究。本研究调查内化症状、社会功能以及公开攻击和关系攻击，作为日常积极和消极情绪（PA和NA）以及自尊的平均水平和个体内部变异性的相关因素。至关重要的是，在控制其他变量的情况下检查了独特的关联。青少年早期（平均年龄10.8岁，n = 94）连续四天完成了关于PA、NA和自尊的日常日记。他们还完成了一般问卷，同龄人也是如此。一些关键发现是，更多的内化症状与NA的更多变异性显著相关。研究表明了同伴关系对青少年PA和NA日常平均水平的重要性。同伴感知的社会功能与自尊的较少波动相关。出现了一些关于攻击的意外的、不显著的发现。最后，较高的平均NA与更多的NA波动相关，而较高的平均PA和自尊与较少的波动相关。
