Erfassung von Emotionsregulation im Alltag

In dem von der DFG geförderten Sachbeihilfeprojekt „Die Bedeutung der Situation für die Emotionsregulation im Alltag“ erprobe ich die hochfrequente Erfassung von Emotionen und deren Regulation im Alltag. Dieser Ansatz ermöglicht es, affektive Prozesse und deren Veränderungen zu modellieren und personale (z.B. Neurotizismus) und situative Faktoren (z.B. Intensität und Kontrollierbarkeit der Situation) zu untersuchen.

Cultivating Affect Regulation in Everyday Life (CARE)

Ziel dieses Projekts ist die Entwicklung und Erprobung einer personalisierten und kontextualisierten Intervention zur Verbesserung der Resilienz und des Wohlbefindens. Zu diesem Zweck wird eine auf dem Konzept der regulatorischen Flexibilität basierende Intervention entwickelt, bei der die Teilnehmenden ein achtwöchiges Training zu Kontextsensitivität, Strategierepertoires und Feedback erhalten. Anschließend nehmen sie an einem ambulanten Assessment teil, bei dem sie personalisierte und kontextbezogene Informationen darüber erhalten, wie sie ihre Emotionen in der jeweiligen Situation am besten regulieren können. Solche maßgeschneiderten Interventionen versprechen maximale Wirksamkeit, da sie leicht zugängliche und spezifische Hilfe bieten, wenn sie am meisten benötigt wird.

Depressivität und affektive Dynamiken im Alltag

In diesem Projekt wird der Zusammenhang zwischen depressiven Symptomen und affektiven Dynamiken im Alltag untersucht. Wie reagieren Menschen mit mehr depressiven Symptomen emotional auf Alltagsereignisse? Verwenden Menschen mit mehr depressiven Symptomen mehr maladaptive Strategien? Haben Menschen mit mehr depressiven Symptomen mehr Schwierigkeiten, zwischen ihren Emotionen zu unterscheiden? Neigen Menschen mit mehr depressiven Symptomen zu rigiden Interpretationen von Gedanken und Gefühlen?
