When studying emotion and emotion regulation, typical approaches focus on intrapersonal processes. Although this emphasis clarifies what transpires a person, it does not capture that much of emotional experience and regulation occurs people. In this commentary, we highlight how the Cognitive-Affective Processing System (CAPS) approach-originally developed by Mischel and Shoda and extended to dyadic interactions by Zayas, Shoda, and Ayduk-can provide a unifying framework for understanding the complexity of everyday affective experiences. We discuss how this framework can be fruitfully applied to the study of emotion and emotion regulation broadly, and particularly to interpersonal emotion regulation, by considering both the mediating psychological processes individuals, as well as the behavioral processes that transpire individuals. To illustrate these points, we discuss some of the thought-provoking work in the special double issue on the edited by Shiota et al. (2023), and we offer forward-thinking suggestions and propose future research directions informed by the CAPS approach. By employing the CAPS framework, we can better capture the complexity of everyday affective experiences and synthesize the growing body of research in affective science.
在研究情绪和情绪调节时，典型的方法侧重于个体内部过程。虽然这种强调阐明了一个人内部发生的事情，但它没有捕捉到许多情绪体验和调节是在人与人之间发生的。在这篇评论中，我们强调了认知-情感加工系统（CAPS）方法——最初由米歇尔和肖达开发，并由扎亚斯、肖达和艾杜克扩展到二元互动——如何能够为理解日常情感体验的复杂性提供一个统一的框架。我们讨论了这个框架如何能够广泛地、尤其是在人际情绪调节方面，通过考虑个体内部的中介心理过程以及个体之间发生的行为过程，富有成效地应用于情绪和情绪调节的研究。为了说明这些观点，我们讨论了由肖塔等人（2023年）编辑的关于[具体主题]的特别双刊中的一些发人深省的研究，并提供前瞻性的建议，提出受CAPS方法启发的未来研究方向。通过采用CAPS框架，我们可以更好地捕捉日常情感体验的复杂性，并综合情感科学中不断增长的研究成果。
