Abstract
Our study shows that different ways of valuing negative affect (negative affect valuation and ideal negative affect) buffer negative affect-health linkages. Participants (N = 162) completed questionnaires and ecological momentary assessments. The results demonstrated that the two affect valuation constructs are distinct and showed different patterns of buffering effects.
