Background:A number of strategies used to regulate positive affect (i.e. dampening and positive rumination) have been identified as having particular relevance to hypomanic personality (a proxy measure of mania risk). However, previous findings have been mixed and it is suggested that this may be the result of lack of consideration of the context in which emotion regulation (ER) is occurring.Aims:This study aimed to investigate (a) if use of specific ER strategies predicts mood across social- and goal-related contexts, and (b) if the relationship between hypomanic personality and mood is moderated by greater use of ER strategies.Method:One hundred and seventy-four participants (mean age 20.77 years, SD = 2.2) completed an online survey assessing (i) hypomanic personality, (ii) self-reported tendencies to use ER strategies for positive emotion, (iii) tendencies to use these strategies in response to both high- and moderate-intensity positive affect in personally generated social- and goal-related contexts, and (iv) current affect.Results:Trait use of ER strategies was more predictive of hypomanic personality and mood symptoms than context-specific measures; however, this relationship did not hold up for hypomanic personality and mood symptoms when accounting for current affect. Trait dampening was predictive of low mood symptoms but did not moderate the relationship between hypomanic personality and low mood.Discussion:While trait measures of ER were more predictive of mania risk and mood symptoms than context-specific measures, further work is needed using experience sampling methods in order to capture the regulatory processes individuals are using in particular contexts, in real-time.

积极情绪调节的特定情境测量是否比特质测量更能预测躁狂风险和情绪症状？

背景：许多用于调节积极情绪（即抑制和积极反刍）的策略已被确定为与轻躁狂人格（躁狂风险的替代指标）特别相关。然而，先前的研究结果喜忧参半，这可能是由于缺乏对情绪调节 (ER) 发生的背景考虑的结果。目的：本研究旨在调查 (a) 是否使用特定的 ER 策略预测跨社会和目标相关环境的情绪，以及（b）如果轻躁狂人格和情绪之间的关系通过更多地使用 ER 策略得到缓和。方法：174 名参与者（平均年龄 20.77 岁，标清= 2.2) 完成了一项在线调查，评估 (i) 轻躁狂人格，(ii) 自我报告使用 ER 策略来获得积极情绪的倾向，(iii) 使用这些策略来应对高强度和中等强度积极情绪的倾向个人产生的与社会和目标相关的背景，以及 (iv) 当前的影响。然而，当考虑到当前的影响时，这种关系并不适用于轻躁狂的人格和情绪症状。特质抑制可以预测情绪低落症状，但不能调节轻躁狂人格与情绪低落之间的关系。讨论：虽然 ER 的特质测量比特定情境测量更能预测躁狂风险和情绪症状，但
