“…A possible explanation may be that practicing vocal expression to obtain relief from negative feelings (i.e. venting) may cause individuals to perceive and interpret their situation more negatively possibly due to a rumination process, which maintains emotional dysregulation ( Du et al., 2018 ). In line with this notion, Brown et al.…”

The consequences of the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have raised many challenges in the social services workforce. The current study aimed to examine the associations between job demands, coping strategies (i.e. emotion-focused coping and problem-focused coping) and psychological distress exhibited by social workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the mediating role of different coping strategies was investigated for the associations revealed. The participants were 615 social workers, working in various organisations and with diverse populations in Israel. Each completed a validated self-report questionnaire. Results revealed that job demands were significantly associated with higher psychological distress, and that coping strategies, especially emotion-focused coping was associated with higher psychological distress and with job demands. In addition, emotion-focused coping strategies were found to mediate the association between job demands and psychological distress, especially ventilation of emotion beyond other strategies, which relate to emotion-focused coping. These findings are discussed with relation to a stress and coping theory, suggesting that in social work practice there is a need for intervention measures to improve social workers’ coping strategies during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…After completing the experimental paradigm, Stroop stimuli were presented for the second time (T2), in order to examine possible intra‐individual differences between the two performances in the Stroop task. We chose to adopt a laboratory induced stress in order to enhance negative emotions able to facilitate the mental rumination; indeed, people who perceive negative emotions states because of stressful conditions may report more rumination, which in turn may lead to increases in negative emotions (e.g., Du, Huang, & Xu, 2018; Smith & Alloy, 2009). We created combined Stroop variables (labeled as combined variables ) which were calculated subtracting all Stroop variables (i.e., total time, correct responses, errors, omissions ) at T1 (before the stress) from T2 (after the stress) in order to evaluate differences in the performance across the two times.…”

Rumination is described as the propensity of responding to distress by repetitively and passively focusing on one's negative emotions, and failures, and their consequences (Nolen-Hoeksema, 1991, 1998). Therefore, given that rumination is characterized especially by difficulties in managing and controlling negative emotional states, it is considered as the most common (impaired) emotional regulation strategy, and can be defined as an emotional process related to a repetitive, undesired, and past-oriented negatively inclined thought (Compare, Zarbo, Shonin, Van Gordon, & Marconi, 2014; Smith & Alloy, 2009). Recent evidence suggested that because of problems related to monitoring of negative states, rumination may be associated with exaggerated physiological reactivity relative to demands from the environment, and to some difficulties in attentional control abilities. The current study aimed at deepening our understanding of the role that a maladaptive emotional regulation strategysuch as ruminationmight play in physiological response changes and in engaging dysfunctional attentional strategies. We used a multimethod assessment including self-reports (i.e., Rumination and Reflection Questionnaire, and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale), physiological measures, (i.e., Heart Rate Variability recording), and attention tasks (i.e., Stroop Task) in order to examine the multiple aspects of rumination across genders. Sixty-eight individuals (30 males and 38 females) were administered DERS À16, RRQ and, soon after them, the Stroop task. Immediately after completing the Stroop task (T1), participants were exposed to a three-phase, baseline-stress-recovery experimental paradigm while their heart rate variability (HRV) was recorded. After completing the experimental paradigm, Stroop stimuli were presented for the second time (T2), in order to examine possible intra-individual differences between the two performances in the Stroop task. Our findings showed that rumination was higher in females than in males, but in men it appeared to be strongly associated with an overall impaired emotional regulation. However, no gender differences in rumination and emotion dysregulation were found when inspecting physiological data. The current study aims to contribute towards a better understanding which emotion regulation strategies and which physiological mechanisms are associated with rumination.

“…It is worth mentioning that stressed is not an emotion that can be found in the CMoA. Nevertheless, stress is a situation of the human body that is related with negative emotions like anger or anxiety [18]. The emotional situation, annoyed, mentioned by participant 12 can be assigned to emotion-situation 1 (angry/frustrated) (see Figure 2).…”

While e-commerce is experiencing increasing sales, stationary retail is losing customers. One way to address this problem is to digitally support the advantages of stationary retail and offer new services to the customer. Following a Design Science Research approach, we present two consecutive design cycles in which we propose an emotion-based information system (IS) to support the interaction between customers and sales personnel. Design cycle 1 focuses on generating design knowledge in form of design guidelines, while design cycle 2 aims to exert them into a specific expository instantiation in order to evaluate them. In an increasingly digital world with changing customers, this contribution shows that emotions might be a key element in the design of valuable IS-supported interactions. Hereby we address the identified lack of literature on emotion-based ISs in the stationary retail sector.
