Nonacceptance of emotion is consistently linked with increased levels of psychopathology and diminished well-being. Research has found that negative emotion and nonacceptance of emotion are positively associated cross-sectionally but has yet to directly investigate temporal associations between these constructs. Given that negative emotions are frequently the target of negative thoughts and other emotions, and that acceptance of emotion is associated with prospective decreases in negative emotion, we hypothesized that the temporal relation between negative emotion and nonacceptance of emotion is bidirectional. The present study examined the association between these variables during people's daily lives using an experience sampling methodology. Multilevel modeling was used for all analyses, including hierarchical generalized linear modeling and log-normal hurdle modeling. A total of 187 women from the United States and Australia reported negative emotion and nonacceptance of emotion 14 times a day for 5 days. Negative emotion and nonacceptance of emotion were positively associated contemporaneously. Across time, nonacceptance of emotion was prospectively and positively associated with the intensity of negative emotion independent of immediately prior negative emotion, and negative emotion intensity was prospectively and positively associated with nonacceptance of emotion independent of immediately prior nonacceptance. Results support a bidirectional model of negative emotion and nonacceptance of emotion wherein each variable predicts increases in the other across time. Our findings elucidate how individuals fall into maladaptive emotional patterns that are difficult to break and could possibly pave the way to the development and maintenance of psychopathology.

日常生活中的负面情绪和不接受情绪。

不接受情感与精神病理学水平的提高和幸福感的降低一直存在联系。研究发现，消极情绪和不接受情绪在横截面上呈正相关，但尚未直接研究这些结构之间的时间关联。鉴于负面情绪经常是负面思想和其他情绪的目标，并且接受情绪与负面情绪的预期下降相关，我们假设负面情绪与不接受情绪之间的时间关系是双向的。本研究使用经验抽样方法研究了人们日常生活中这些变量之间的关联。多级建模用于所有分析，包括分层广义线性建模和对数正态障碍建模。来自美国和澳大利亚的187名妇女在5天内每天14次报告负面情绪和不接受情绪。负性情绪和不接受情绪是同时正相关的。在整个时间中，不接受情绪与否定情绪的强度呈正相关，与不依赖于先前的负性情绪的行为呈正相关，而负情绪强度与不接受情绪的成正性和正相关性与不依赖于先前的不可接受的情绪呈正相关。结果支持负面情绪和不接受情绪的双向模型，其中每个变量预测另一个变量随时间的增加。我们的发现阐明了个体如何陷入难以适应的不良情绪模式，并有可能为心理病理学的发展和维持铺平道路。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
