Intrapersonal and Interpersonal Regulation of Positive Affect: The Moderating Effects of Stressor Intensity and Perceived Controllability
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The association between positive affect regulation and well-being has often been examined at the intrapersonal level, but positive affect regulation may also occur at the interpersonal level and be shaped by contextual factors. Thus, positive affect regulation strategies, including savoring and dampening, were examined in relation to well-being (i.e. positive affect and life satisfaction) at the intra- and inter-personal levels, while also considering the moderating effects of stressor intensity and perceived controllability. Participants included 281 emerging adults ( M age = 21.29; 71% female-identifying), who responded to a 14-day daily diary. Multilevel analyses indicated that individuals reported lower well-being on days when they engaged more in dampening, but greater well-being on days when they engaged more in emotion-focused and self-focused positive rumination. Co-savoring was also positively associated with well-being, but co-dampening was not. Perceived controllability, but not stressor intensity, moderated the associations of dampening, self-focused positive rumination, and co-savoring with life satisfaction. These findings suggest that regulating positive affect independently and with social others has implications for well-being, and that contextual factors also matter.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
