“…For example, Eckenrode (1984) recorded participant mood and the presence/absence of negative event/s for 28 consecutive days, and as expected participants reporting more frequent negative events tended to be those with lower mood. More recent investigations have evaluated how various factors can influence mood changes in response to life events, such as personality factors (Leger et al, 2016;Polk et al, 2020;Yang, 2020), genetic factors (Sicorello et al, 2020), perceived neighbourhood characteristics (Scott et al, 2018), working memory capacity (Garrison & Schmeichel, 2020;Pe et al, 2015), cognitive appraisals (Brose et al, 2020;Fosco & Lydon-Staley, 2019;Gunaydin et al, 2016;Panaite et al, 2019), attentional bias (Iijima et al, 2018), having a sense of purpose (Hill et al, 2018), having a sense of control (Koffer et al, 2019), humour (Nezlek et al, 2020), physical activity (Puterman et al, 2017), sexual activity (Kashdan et al, 2018), social behaviour (Schacter & Margolin, 2018), cognitive-behavioural therapy intervention (McIntyre et al, 2019), and various coping strategies (Finkelstein-Fox et al, 2019;Santiago et al, 2016;Shermeyer et al, 2018). For example, Koffer et al (2019) obtained daily reports from 150 adults over 9 weeks and found that individuals with a higher sense of personal control typically were less reactive to negative daily events.…”
