Harnessing happiness? Uncontrollable positive emotion in bipolar disorder, major depression, and healthy adults.

It is suggested that although controllable positive emotion experiences may be adaptive for most, individuals with a history of restricted affect and depressed mood may actually derive more pleasure from times of unharnessed happiness.

When trying is not enough: emotion regulation and the effort-success gap in bipolar disorder.

Results indicated that the BD participants made greater use of spontaneous suppression and reappraisal across all films compared to the control group, and reported greater effort, but less success, when spontaneously regulating emotions.

Too Close for Comfort? Social Distance and Positive Emotion Perception in Bipolar I Disorder

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a chronic psychiatric disorder that is associated with heightened and persistent positive emotion (Gruber, 2011; Johnson, 2005). Yet we know less about how troubled emotion…

Letting go of the bad: deficit in maintaining negative, but not positive, emotion in bipolar disorder.

Findings suggest that the heightened magnitude and duration of positive emotion observed in BD may, in part, be accounted for by difficulties maintaining negative emotions.

Choosing how to feel: emotion regulation choice in bipolar disorder.

The results suggest that emotion regulation choice patterns may be robust across samples, and add to growing evidence that several basic emotion regulation elements may remain intact in bipolar disorder.

Well-being and Psychopathology: A Deep Exploration into Positive Emotions, Meaning and Purpose in Life, and Social Relationships

For decades, researchers and practitioners have theorized psychological disorder and health as opposite ends of a single continuum. We offer a more nuanced, data driven examination into the various…

It is suggested that reappraisal may be an effective regulation strategy for both negative and positive emotion across both healthy adults and individuals with bipolar disorder.
