"Her" Marriage after the Revolutions

Recent social changes have made husbands' emotional investments and wives' perceptions of equity in the division of housework crucial for women's marital happiness. But wives are also happiest in their marriages when they share a strong normative commitment to lifelong marriage with their husbands and when their husbands take the lead in breadwinning. Thus our research suggests that elements of the new and the old promote marital happiness among contemporary wives.     

情感：生活意义的感受与体验

情感是最基本的心理现象和心理过程之一，也是最为扑朔迷离的心理——精神现象之一。情感不仅仅是一种感受与体验，一种对意义的感受与体验，更是一种对人生价值、生命意义的感受与体验；人的情感所感受与体验到的之所以是人生的价值、生命的意义，首先是因为情感与生命有着极其密切的关联，其次是因为追寻价值与意义是人的生命的本质特征。人生价值、生命意义实质上是生活价值、生活意义，故情感是对生活意义的感受与体验。     

青少年情绪化行为的危害及其对教育的启示

青少年情绪体验强烈,当个体被情绪体验所感染时,易产生认识偏差,导致行为为情绪所控制的情绪化行为。情绪化行为易造成不良后果,给青少年成长和社会带来危害。营造良好的青少年成长氛围,树立正确的人生现,培养健全的人格,形成乐观豁达精神与自我管理能力,有利于其行为的合理化,从而使青少年以积极的生活态度面向生活。     

绘本教学对幼儿情绪调节能力的影响

为探索绘本教学对幼儿情绪调节能力发展的影响,本研究使用实验法和问卷法,随机选取某幼儿园中班共48名幼儿为研究对象以及幼儿所在班的W老师为实验合作者,以《中国第一套儿童情绪管理图画书》为载体对24名幼儿实施情绪绘本教学,实验组和对照组同时采用《幼儿情绪调节发展状况问卷》（教师评定）对幼儿情绪调节能力进行前测和后测。研究结果显示,实验组幼儿与对照组幼儿在基本情绪识别与理解、情绪的表达、情绪的调控和情绪的运用等方面的发展水平差异显著;实验组幼儿情绪调节能力各维度前后测存在显著性差异;对照组幼儿的情绪调节水平前后没有出现显著性差异。研究结果表明绘本教学促进了幼儿情绪调节能力的发展。     

Social Development Quartet: Emotion Socialization in the Context of Psychopathology and Risk

An introduction is provided to this Social Development Quartet in which the articles focus on parent emotion socialization in the context of psychopathology and risk. In two articles, the samples of children and/or adolescents have a psychiatric diagnosis [oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) or depressive disorder]. The other two articles feature samples in which children and families have experienced serious risks [exposure to inter‐parental violence (IPV) or maternal incarceration]. The articles in this Social Development Quartet extend our knowledge of the impact of parental emotion socialization practices to contexts in which children and parents experience higher than normative risks. The work reported in these articles builds upon research on emotion socialization in normative contexts, illustrating the buffering effects of supportive parenting as well as its limits.     

Difficulties in Emotion Regulation as a Mediator of the Relationship Between Child Sexual Abuse Victimization and Sexual Aggression Perpetration in Male College Students

Although numerous studies document a link between child sexual abuse and later sexual assault perpetration in men, little research has examined why this relationship exists. One potential mechanism may be emotional regulation difficulties. The current study utilizes a college sample of 132 men to examine the mediating role of emotion regulation difficulties on the relationship between experiencing child sexual abuse and later sexual aggression. Although emotion regulation difficulties in general was not significantly related to sexual aggression, one facet, impulse control difficulties, emerged as a significant mediator of the relationship between child sexual abuse and sexual aggression. Intervention programs should focus on the care that children receive following sexual abuse, with particular emphasis on how emotion regulation abilities may be impacted.     

Eroticism as Embodied Emotion: The Erotics of Renaissance Faire

This paper conceptualizes eroticism as emotional experience. I use the Renaissance Faire to illustrate the construction of asexual eroticism along three dimensions: the carnal experience of Faire, its focus on physicality, and intimations of increased interpersonal access. This approach forefronts the complexity of eroticism and situates the erotic squarely in the sociology of emotion, providing a model for understanding a range of emotional, embodied, and nonsexual charges as erotic. More broadly, the analysis seeks to contribute to the study of all emotion as embodied.     

情绪缓解方法探析：聆听脑波音乐

随着社会发展速度加快，人们负担的精神压力也越来越重，在目前的治疗基础上，研究新的更为有效的治疗方法刻不容缓。联合脑电信号和功能核磁共振信号，根据两种生理信号和音乐都具有无标度性的特点来建立对应关系，生成脑波音乐。这种脑波音乐包含有人体自身的生理信息，通过实验验证其更贴近作曲家创作的音乐。我们让具有焦虑症状的大学生聆听脑波音乐，结果表明聆听脑波音乐能一定程度上起到舒缓情绪的作用。     

How do my parents react when I feel happy? Longitudinal associations with adolescent depressive symptoms,anhedonia, and positive affect regulation

Parental emotion socialization plays a role in the development of adolescents’ emotion regulation and is associated with adolescents’ depressive symptoms. Most research has focused on parental socialization of negative affect. The scarce research on parental socialization of positive affect (PA) shows that parental downgrading responses to adolescents’ PA are associated with concurrent adolescent depression. The aims of the present study were to examine longitudinal associations of both maternal and paternal responses to adolescents’ PA with how adolescents regulate their PA (i.e., dampening and enhancing) and with adolescents’ general depressive symptoms and anhedonia. We also considered associations in the opposite direction from adolescent regulatory responses and symptoms to parental responses. In a two‐wave study (1‐year interval), 635 adolescents from Grade seven completed questionnaires. Cross‐sectionally, maternal and paternal responses to adolescents’ PA were associated with concurrent adolescents’ PA regulation as well as adolescents’ depressive and anhedonic symptoms. Longitudinally, low maternal and paternal enhancing responses to adolescents’ PA predicted relative increases in anhedonic symptoms and relative decreases in adolescent enhancing over time. Low maternal enhancing was also predictive of relative increases in depressive symptoms. The present study points to bidirectionality of relations as adolescents’ level of depressive symptoms predicted maternal and paternal responses.     

It's written all over their faces: Preschoolers' emotion understanding

Emotion understanding is a multifaceted construct made up of several components. To identify how several common components of emotion understanding relate to one another, five emotion understanding tasks were compared within the same group of children. Fifty‐four preschool children (M = 3.81 years, SD = 0.40) were asked to display the typical facial expression of six emotions after hearing their corresponding emotion label. They were then read six vignettes and asked to: “use your face to show how [the protagonist] would feel,” provide an emotion label for the main character, and “choose a picture of a face that would look like [the main character].” Finally, they were asked to provide a label for emotions presented to them in photographs. For all tasks, six emotions were examined: happiness, sadness, anger, fear, surprise, and disgust. With the exception of the two modeling tasks, results show correlations among the emotion understanding tasks. There was a significant interaction between task and emotion category for emotion understanding accuracy. However, there was some consistency in the pattern of discrete emotion categorization emergence across the tasks. Additionally, accuracy scores (representing emotion understanding) across tasks were not equivalent. Findings are discussed in the broader context of emotion understanding.
