Summary: Investigations into emotion dysregulation have mostly focused on ineffective strategy selection and implementation. However, there has been little empirical research on the possibility that failure to engage in emotion regulation may also indicate emotion dysregulation, especially when there are skill or motivational deficits. A study involving 113 adults with social anxiety found that participants reported not regulating their emotions in 60.9% of surveys. The most common reasons for not regulating were not experiencing any thoughts/feelings that they wanted to change, not wanting to put in the effort, not knowing what to do, and not feeling capable.

Summary: The study examined the associations between ERN measured in early childhood with the development of cognitive control (CC), emotion regulation, and internalizing/externalizing symptoms over 1-2 years. Results showed that children with high-amplitude ERN demonstrated better executive function, less self-reported anxiety and depression, better emotion regulation, higher parent-rated CC, less lability/negativity, and fewer parent-reported externalizing problems.

Summary: This study found that individuals with higher levels of trait anxiety and more severe anxiety symptoms tend to prefer state anxiety emotions. The relationship between anxiety preferences and subsequent anxiety is complex and may serve as a new treatment target for anxiety interventions.

Summary: Higher amplitudes of the error-related negativity (ERN) were found to be related to fewer self-control failures (SCFs) in daily life, suggesting that lower error-related activity may lead to lower recruitment of interventive self-control in daily life.

Summary: This study found that children's daily emotion intensity, instability, and differentiation are associated with their internalizing symptoms. These emotional dimensions show positive relationships with internalizing symptoms, but are not risk factors for or residual manifestations of its progression among typical children.

Summary: The study found that individuals with schizophrenia interacted with others at a similar rate as controls, but lacked high-quality interactions and reported more negative emotions. Social versus non-social context did not significantly influence emotional experiences in either group. While individuals with schizophrenia did not differ in their number of interactions, they were less likely to engage in substantive, personal conversations.

Summary: The study found that predictable and intense punishments influenced the amplitudes of error-related negativity (ERN). While trait anxiety did not show significant effects, predictable painful punishments led to smaller Error Positivity (Pe). The results indicate that unpredictability and increased painfulness enhance the motivational significance of errors without potentiating ERN amplitudes.

Summary: Individuals with elevated social anxiety tend to experience higher levels of anxiety and social avoidance motivation in daily life, but they also derive greater psychological benefits from particularly intense positive events, such as reduced anxiety, increased motivation to engage in social situations, and enhanced sense of belonging. These findings apply not only to social anxiety but also to other forms of internalizing psychopathology like general anxiety and depression, highlighting potential targets for intervention.

Summary: This study found that there is a significant association between anxiety and error-related cognitive control mechanism called ERN in women. The relationship is more significant in women using hormonal contraceptives compared to those who are not.

Summary: There is a significant association between momentary negative emotions and cortisol levels (positive correlation) and momentary positive emotions and cortisol levels (negative correlation). These findings highlight the close relationship between emotions and physiological responses, which is crucial for understanding the impact of stress on health.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between affect variability and inflammation, particularly focusing on the moderating effect of average affect. The findings suggest that higher average affect, both positive and negative, is associated with greater inflammation. However, the association is nonlinear, with a positive association for those with higher average affect and a negative association for those with lower average affect.

Summary: This study examined the dynamic interplay between affect and internalizing symptoms, and found that reducing negative affect may be more effective in alleviating internalizing symptoms compared to increasing positive affect. Additionally, individual differences in resistance to shifting affective states may serve as a useful marker for developing tailored interventions.

Summary: Major depressive disorder is characterized by deficits in emotional processing, reactivity, and regulation, with varying degrees of specific alterations in patterns of emotional responding. Emotions are complex, multicomponent processes that involve responses across multiple functional domains and levels of analysis such as subjective experience, behavior, autonomic regulation, cognition, and neural processing.

Summary: Effective emotion regulation is crucial for adolescents' mental well-being and socioemotional development. Co-rumination, a tendency to seek emotional support by engaging in negative discussions with peers, may contribute to dysregulated emotion regulation. This study found that co-rumination was associated with changes in individuals' autonomic and affective regulation. Furthermore, dyadic patterns of physiological regulation were influenced by the level of state co-rumination. These findings highlight the importance of multimodal assessment in understanding social emotion regulation processes across development.

Summary: Intervention strategies can effectively reduce symptoms and improve quality of life for individuals with psychotic disorders. This article discusses the Skills Program for Awareness, Connectedness, and Empowerment (SPACE), which integrates different behavioral skills for clinical high-risk youth. The intervention is divided into three stages targeting specific signs and symptoms contributing to the progression of symptoms. The focus is on introducing the theoretical framework and discussing ongoing progress.

Summary: Problems with sleep, emotion regulation, and externalizing psychopathology are interconnected in youth, but little is known about their daily associations. This study investigated the bidirectional relationship between self-reported daily sleep quality and next-day positive and negative affect, with externalizing symptoms as a moderator. The findings suggest that affective functioning is bidirectionally linked to daily self-reported sleep quality among high- and low-risk youth, and specific disturbances in daily sleep-affect cycles may be distinctly associated with externalizing psychopathology.

Summary: The relationship between a therapist and their client, known as the working alliance, plays a crucial role in the success of therapy. Language entrainment, which measures the adaptation of therapist and client language over time, has been found to have a significant impact on the perception of the working alliance.

Summary: This study used resting-state functional connectivity analysis to investigate the neural pathways between internet addiction tendency and sleep quality, and found a positive correlation between internet addiction tendency and the strength of functional connectivity within the default-mode network. Furthermore, internet addiction tendency mediated the relationship between these functional couplings and sleep quality.

Summary: In this study, electroencephalogram data was analyzed to compare the resting network activation between heavy media multitaskers (HMM) and light media multitaskers (LMM). The results showed that HMM had weaker activation in the attention network, but enhanced activation in the salience network. They also had an enhanced visual network and may feel less comfortable during resting-state periods. This suggests that chronic media multitasking leads to a bottom-up or stimulus-driven allocation of attention for HMM, while LMM use a top-down approach.
