Overreliance on disengagement emotion regulation strategies (e.g., emotion avoidance, emotion suppression) has been shown to relate to poor clinical outcomes. Two traits characterized by difficulties in goal-directed responses to emotion-urgency and distress intolerance-may help explain who is likely to disengage from emotion and when. These traits are associated with diverse forms of psychopathology and greater reliance on disengagement strategies. Gaps remain about how these traits relate to emotion regulation in daily life. The present study uses ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to determine the associations of urgency and distress intolerance with momentary high arousal negative affect and momentary attempts to regulate negative emotions. Participants ( = 101) were college students who endorsed at least weekly behaviors often characterized by emotion dysregulation (e.g., self-harm, binging/purging, alcohol/drug use). Participants completed trait measures at baseline and EMA surveys of momentary affect and emotion regulation, six times daily for 4 days. Results indicated that at certain levels, urgency and distress intolerance moderated the relationship between high arousal negative affect and disengagement from emotion: low urgency scores related to relatively greater disengagement from emotion following reported high arousal negative affect, whereas high distress intolerance scores related to relatively greater disengagement following high arousal negative affect. Findings support the role of both urgency and distress intolerance in the relationship between high arousal negative affect and disengagement, which implicates the utility of clinical interventions that focus on emotion regulation, especially during high arousal states.

过度依赖脱离情绪调节策略（例如，情绪回避、情绪抑制）与较差的临床结果有关。两个特点是对情绪冲动和痛苦不耐受的目标导向反应困难-可能有助于解释谁可能脱离情绪以及何时脱离情绪。这些特征与不同形式的精神病理学和更多地依赖脱离策略有关。关于这些特征如何与日常生活中的情绪调节相关，仍存在差距。本研究使用生态瞬时评估（EMA）来确定紧迫性和痛苦不耐受与瞬时高唤醒负性情绪和瞬时尝试调节负性情绪之间的关联。参与者（n=101）为大学生，他们每周至少有一次表现出情绪失调的行为（例如，自残、暴食/催吐、饮酒/吸毒）。参与者在基线时完成特质测量，并在四天内每天六次完成瞬时情绪和情绪调节的 EMA 调查。结果表明，在某些水平上，紧迫性和痛苦不耐受调节了高唤醒负性情绪与情绪脱离之间的关系：低紧迫性分数与报告的高唤醒负性情绪后相对较大的情绪脱离相关，而高痛苦不耐受分数与高唤醒负性情绪后相对较大的情绪脱离相关。研究结果支持紧迫性和痛苦不耐受在高唤醒负性情绪和情绪脱离之间关系中的作用，这表明关注情绪调节的临床干预的有效性，尤其是在高唤醒状态下。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
