Clinical models and cross-sectional research suggest that habitual use of disengagement-oriented emotion regulation strategies is associated with high levels of affective arousal, negative valence, and dissociation, whereas engagement-oriented strategies show the opposite effect. However, intensive longitudinal evidence remains scarce. This study examined whether habitual use of 10 emotion regulation strategies, assessed using the Process Model of Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (PMERQ), predicts affective arousal and valence, and dissociation in daily life. We analysed ecological momentary assessment data from 88 individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder, borderline personality disorder, and dissociative disorders. Baseline PMERQ scores did not robustly predict daily levels of affective arousal and valence, and dissociation. The overall null findings of our study could reflect either a true absence of meaningful effects, insufficient sample size, or a mismatch between trait-level emotion regulation measures and momentary affect/dissociation. Future studies should prioritise momentary assessments of emotion regulation to disentangle state and trait effects.
Emotion regulation difficulties play a major role in general well-being and most psychopathologies, yet their everyday dynamics remain unclear. We adapted the State Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale for ecological momentary assessment and examined how such difficulties unfold in daily life. This entailed how the...

Emotion regulation difficulties are a transdiagnostic vulnerability linked to maladaptive emotional responding, yet their neural correlates during emotional processing and regulation remain incompletely understood. The present study examined whether individual differences in emotion regulation difficulties are associat...

BACKGROUND
Emotion regulation has been consistently associated with eating disorder psychopathology, yet most evidence comes from retrospective and cross-sectional studies. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) allows these processes to be examined as they unfold during daily body-exposure situations. This pilot study...

Positive affect has been hypothesized to improve exposure learning outcomes. However, empirical studies of this hypothesis have yielded mixed findings and suggest that it is important to disentangle the relative contributions of both affective valence and arousal. The current study is a secondary analysis from a clinic...

Background Emotion dysregulation is strongly linked to depressive disorders, yet distinctions between interpersonal and intrapersonal forms remain underexplored in daily life. This study examines emotion dysregulation in depression during close interpersonal interactions, comparing individuals with depression and healt...

High negative affect inertia refers to negative emotional states that show strong carryover from moment to moment and has been linked to maladjustment and poor mental health. Recent ecological momentary assessment (EMA) research has suggested that emotion regulation strategy use in daily life may contribute to emotiona...
