The Role of Positive Affect and Positive Context (In)Sensitivity in the Use of Positive Emotion Regulation Strategies in Daily Life in Depression: An Experience Sampling Study

EMA will be used to investigate if reduced momentary positive affect (PA) and positive context insensitivity predict dysfunctional uses of positive emotion regulation strategies (i.e., higher dampening, lower positive rumination) in depression. Results will allow establishing the PA dynamics affected in depression and inform the development of novel positive interventions.
