While emotion coherence has long been theorized to be a core feature of emotion, to date, studies examining response coherence have been conducted in laboratory settings. The present study used a combined approach of ambulatory physiology measures and ecological momentary assessment conducted over a 4-week period to examine the extent to which emotional experience and physiology show coherence in daily life within-persons; and whether individual differences in response coherence are associated with between-person differences in well-being, negative emotionality, and gender. Results revealed that, on average, individuals exhibited coherence between subjective experience and physiology of emotion, but that there was substantial between-person variation in coherence in daily life. Exploratory analyses revealed no credible link between levels of response coherence and well-being, negative emotionality, or gender. Findings contribute to the literature by demonstrating a novel methodological approach to measuring coherence in daily life and supporting the generalizability of coherence to ecologically valid contexts.
虽然情绪连贯性长期以来一直被认为是情绪的核心特征，但迄今为止，研究情绪反应连贯性的研究都是在实验室环境中进行的。本研究采用了一种结合的方法，即使用动态生理测量和在 4 周内进行的生态瞬间评估，来研究情绪体验和生理在日常生活中个体内的一致性程度；以及反应一致性的个体差异是否与幸福感、负面情绪和性别之间的个体差异相关。结果表明，平均而言，个体在主观体验和情绪生理之间表现出一致性，但日常生活中的一致性在个体之间存在很大差异。探索性分析显示，反应一致性水平与幸福感、负面情绪或性别之间没有可信的联系。研究结果通过展示一种新颖的方法来测量日常生活中的一致性，支持了一致性在生态有效情境中的可推广性，为文献做出了贡献。
