    How Strategy, Situation, and Person Interact to Predict Adaptive Emotion Regulation: A Personalized Approach to the Science of Emotion Regulation
    (2025-04-25) Goodson, Pauline Nicole; Denny, Bryan T.
    Emotion regulation is pervasive in daily life and critical for well-being. There are calls to investigate emotion regulation adaptivity through the interaction of person, situation, and strategy. Recent work has begun investigating adaptive emotion regulation as a function of situation and strategy factors, where individuals vary in emotion regulation strategy use and efficacy. Additionally, evidence suggests that cultural values are an important individual characteristic that determines when and how emotion regulation strategies are used. However, there is a need to expand this work in order to incorporate more ecologically valid methodologies, assess a broader range of emotion regulation strategies, apply this knowledge in emotion regulation training, determine longitudinal impacts of such training, and combine all three factors in one model to gain insight into how the interaction of person, situation, and strategy impacts well-being. Thus, the aims of this dissertation are to (1) assess the naturalistic use of emotion regulation as a function of context and person, one interaction at a time; (2) develop and test a dynamic training paradigm which adaptively pairs situations and strategies to be implemented in real world contexts; and (3) assess the longitudinal effects of the implementation intentions training paradigm and how it is impacted by individual cultural values.
