■适应性情绪调节的最新概念化是基于灵活使用情绪调节策略以满足不断变化的上下文需求的能力。尽管特质正念与增强的情绪幸福感和适应性情绪调节策略的使用有关,缺乏研究特质正念和情绪调节灵活性之间关联的文献。Further,尽管有丰富的文献表明情绪调节过程会随着年龄的增长而变化,迄今为止,尚无研究评估特质正念对情绪调节对负性情绪的反应性的作用在年轻人和老年人之间是否不同,负性情绪是情绪调节灵活性的一个组成部分.
■当前的研究招募了130名年轻人和130名老年人来评估特质正念,情绪调节策略的使用,以及日常生活中六种不同策略的情绪调节反应。
■在整个样本中,特质正念与注意力分散减少(β=-0.11,t(238.09)=-3.02,p=.003)和表达抑制(β=-0.15,t(237.70)=-4.62,p<.001)策略使用有关。年龄适度分析显示,特质正念与年轻人的表达抑制反应性降低相关(β=0.12,t(247)=2.31,p=0.022),而老年人的独立再评估反应性增加(β=0.15,t(247)=-2.95,p=.003)。
■当前的研究结果强调了理解特质正念与策略使用和对日常生活中负面影响变化的反应能力以及这些模式在整个生命周期中如何变化的重要性。

UNASSIGNED: Recent conceptualizations of adaptive emotion regulation is predicated on the ability to flexibly use emotion regulation strategies to meet changing contextual demands. Although trait mindfulness has been linked to enhanced emotional well-being and use of adaptive emotion regulation strategies, there is a dearth of literature examining associations between trait mindfulness and emotion regulation flexibility. Further, despite a rich literature suggesting that emotion regulation processes change with age, no study to date has assessed whether the role of trait mindfulness on emotion regulation responsiveness to negative emotions-a component of emotion regulation flexibility-differs between young and older adults.
UNASSIGNED: The current study recruited 130 young adults and 130 older adults to assess trait mindfulness, emotion regulation strategy use, and emotion regulation responsiveness of six distinct strategies in daily life.
UNASSIGNED: Across the full sample, trait mindfulness was related to reduced distraction (β = -0.11, t(238.09) = -3.02, p = .003) and expressive suppression (β = -0.15, t(237.70) = -4.62, p < .001) strategy use. Age moderation analyses revealed that trait mindfulness was associated with reduced expressive suppression responsiveness (β = 0.12, t(247) = 2.31, p = .022) in young adults and increased detached reappraisal responsiveness among older adults (β = 0.15, t(247) = -2.95, p = .003).
UNASSIGNED: The current findings highlight the importance of understanding how trait mindfulness is associated with strategy use and responsiveness to negative affect changes in daily life as well as how these patterns may shift across the lifespan.
