The Power of Emotion Beliefs: We Reflect More When Believing Emotions Are Controllable
Subject Area: Clinical Science
Believing emotions are controllable can influence how people ruminate. In this daily-dairy study, emotion-control beliefs were found to predict greater daily self-reflection (b = .05, p<.05) but not brooding upon experiencing negative affect. This is the first intensive longitudinal study to demonstrate the influence of emotion-control beliefs on rumination.
