“…Although it has been broadly recognized that high levels of NE indeed go hand in hand with depression (see Hyde et al 2008), we have now found further evidence suggesting that PE is also of great importance when we study depression in youth. More specifically, the finding that PE and depressive symptoms are negatively related is in agreement with a number of longitudinal studies on PE, showing that low PE is a risk factor for the development of depressive symptoms in youth (Verstraeten et al 2008;Harding et al 2014;Hudson et al 2015). Moreover, our data offer evidence supporting the assumption that NE and PE interact as this joint effect is significantly related to depressive symptoms in youth.…”

“…This is in contrast with the previous results of Yap et al (2011) who did find that self-reported ER significantly mediated the relationship between temperament and depressive symptoms. This is also in disagreement with research investigating the mediating role of specific ER strategies such as rumination in this relation (e.g., Hudson et al 2015;Verstraeten et al 2008Verstraeten et al , 2012. Unfortunately, the study of Yap et al (2011) did not include PE and relied on other measures, which made it difficult to compare with our study.…”

“…Unfortunately, the study of Yap et al (2011) did not include PE and relied on other measures, which made it difficult to compare with our study. Furthermore, most of the studies investigated the mediating role of rumination in particular (e.g., Hudson et al 2015;Mezulis et al 2011a, b;Verstraeten et al 2011), and did not take into account the adaptive and maladaptive ER strategies in general, making it more difficult to match these findings with ours.…”

“…Yet, low levels of PE are as significant as high levels of NE when studied in terms of the risk of depression (Lengua et al 1999). Indeed, it has been shown that low levels of PE predict the development of depressive symptoms in youth (Harding et al 2014;Hudson et al 2015), and that of depressive disorder into adulthood (Caspi et al 1996). Therefore, future research should further include the PE dimension for understanding youth depression.…”

Associations Between Temperament, Emotion Regulation, and Depression in Youth: The Role of Positive Temperament

et al. 2016

For a long time, associations between temperamental reactivity, emotion regulation (ER) strategies, and depression in youth were studied with a primary focus on the adverse impact of the negative emotionality (NE) temperament dimension and maladaptive ER strategies. The current study aims to answer the question whether positive emotionality (PE) and adaptive ER strategies also play a role in these associations. In a convenience sample of 176 youth (9-18 years; M = 13.58, SD = .94) data were obtained on NE and PE, the use of both maladaptive and adaptive ER strategies, and depressive symptoms. Results indicate that higher levels of NE and lower levels of PE were both associated with more depressive symptoms. Additionally, we found the interaction of NE and PE to be significantly related to depressive symptoms, with lower levels of PE being a vulnerability factor, facilitating the relationship between higher levels of NE and symptoms. Third, higher levels of NE were associated with the use of more maladaptive ER strategies, but were unrelated to adaptive ER strategies. There was no association between PE, and either maladaptive or adaptive ER strategies. Fourth, higher levels of maladaptive ER strategies, and lower levels of adaptive ER strategies were both associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms. Finally, no evidence was found for the mediation of ER strategies in the relationship between temperamental reactivity and depressive symptoms. Current study findings underline the need of identifying resilience factors for depression in youth. Insight into such factors is pivotal for the successful development and implementation of prevention and intervention programs.

“…Despite the discrete and episodic nature of many depressive symptom presentations, research has found that a significant portion of depressive symptoms in adolescence and adulthood may be represented as trait-like tendencies that remain fairly stable across time (19, 20, 21). However, research also supports the distinct contributions of NA and PA in predicting future depressive symptoms, even after controlling for current depressive symptoms (2, 22, 23). In further support of the conceptual distinctions between trait affect and depressive symptoms, the tripartite model of depression and anxiety (1) asserts that low PA and high NA differentially predict depressive symptoms, with high NA predicting both depression and anxiety while low PA is unique to depression.…”

Background Trait negative affect and trait positive affect are affective vulnerabilities to depressive symptoms in adolescence and adulthood. While trait affect and the state affect characteristic of depressive symptoms are proposed to be theoretically distinct, no studies have established that these constructs are statistically distinct. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to determine whether the trait affect (e.g. temperament dimensions) that predicts depressive symptoms and the state affect characteristic of depressive symptoms are statistically distinct among early adolescents and adults. We hypothesized that trait negative affect, trait positive affect, and depressive symptoms would represent largely distinct factors in both samples. Method Participants were 268 early adolescents (53.73% female) and 321 young adults (70.09% female) who completed self-report measures of demographic information, trait affect, and depressive symptoms. Results Principal axis factoring with oblique rotation for both samples indicated distinct adolescent factor loadings and overlapping adult factor loadings. Confirmatory factor analyses in both samples supported distinct but related relationships between trait NA, trait PA, and depressive symptoms. Limitations Study limitations include our cross-sectional design that prevented examination of self-reported fluctuations in trait affect and depressive symptoms and the unknown potential effects of self-report biases among adolescents and adults. Conclusions Findings support existing theoretical distinctions between adolescent constructs but highlight a need to revise or remove items to distinguish measurements of adult trait affect and depressive symptoms. Adolescent trait affect and depressive symptoms are statistically distinct, but adult trait affect and depressive symptoms statistically overlap and warrant further consideration.

Time‐based differences in the effects of positive and negative affectivity on perceived supervisor support and organizational commitment among newcomers

et al. 2018

Summary Building on the broaden‐and‐build theory and research on the negativity bias, this study examines how trait affectivity, as a stable predisposition predicting the pattern of emotional responding, shapes newcomers' perceptions of supervisor support and experience of organizational commitment. Using latent growth modeling and data collected at four points in time from newcomers (N = 158), we found the initial level of perceived supervisor support to mediate a negative relationship between negative affectivity and the level of commitment. Moreover, although newcomers experienced a general decrease in perceived supervisor support and a related decrease in commitment, those with high positive affectivity experienced a weaker decrease in perceived supervisor support, which led to a weaker decrease in commitment. Incidentally, positive affectivity was also positively related to the initial level of commitment. Two post hoc studies indicated that positive and negative affectivity exerted their effects controlling for state affect and replicated the relationship between change in perceived support and commitment. We discuss how these findings inform our understanding of trait affectivity's influence on newcomers' work attitudes.
