“…Qualitative studies suggest that people in a variety of contemporary neoliberal environments internalize blame for anxiety and negative experiences, wishing they could be more adept at focusing on the positive (Scharff, ; Sweet, ). A large meta‐analysis suggests that holding negative attitudes toward negative affect is strongly associated with experiencing depression (Yoon, Dang, Metz, & Rottenberg, ). The demand for positive affect demonizes and imposes silence on killjoys who dare to spoil the party by raising awareness of injustice (Ahmed, ).…”

In this article, we approach the relationship between neoliberalism and psychological science from the theoretical perspective of cultural psychology. In the first section, we trace how engagement with neoliberal systems results in characteristic tendencies-including a radical abstraction of self from social and material context, an entrepreneurial understanding of self as an ongoing development project, an imperative for personal growth and fulfillment, and an emphasis on affect management for self-regulation-that increasingly constitute the knowledge base of mainstream psychological science. However, as we consider in the second section, psychological science is not just an observer of neoliberalism and its impact on psychological experience. Instead, by studying psychological processes independent of cultural-ecological or historical context and by championing individual growth and affective regulation as the key to optimal well-being, psychological scientists reproduce and reinforce the influence and authority of neoliberal systems. Rather than a disinterested bystander, hegemonic forms of psychological science are thoroughly implicated in the neoliberal project.

“…And indeed, meta-analytic evidence shows that emotion regulation processes mediate the effects of mindfulness interventions on improvements in mental health (8). In contrast, ineffective emotion regulation is a core feature of psychopathology (9), and a growing body of evidence relates non-acceptance-including experiential avoidance (10,11), emotional non-acceptance (12), and distress intolerance (13)with clinical symptoms. Moreover, the emotion regulation literature shows that acceptance is an effective strategy (14), and acceptance training is considered a key therapeutic element of many clinical interventions targeting anxiety, depressive, and other disorders characterized by experiential avoidance (e.g., (15,16)).…”

Highlights • Experiential acceptance is described as a central feature of mindfulness interventions. • Based on theory and correlational research, MAT posits that acceptance is a key emotion regulation mechanism. • Dismantling trials show that acceptance is a key ingredient of mindfulness interventions. • Emphasizing acceptance skills may maximize the efficacy of mindfulness interventions.

“…A lo largo de las revisiones y metaanálisis realizados sobre este tema, se ha aludido con frecuencia a la relación entre distintos trastornos psicopatológicos y la regulación de las emociones negativas (Sloan et al, 2017;Yoon, Dang, Mertz y Rottenberg, 2018). En este sentido, abordar las estrategias que se llevan a cabo ante situaciones y emociones positivas podría proporcionar una visión más completa sobre los elementos transdiagnósticos de trastornos de tipo impulsivo.…”

En la investigación clínica, el afecto positivo ha recibido menos atención que su dimensión paralela: el afecto negativo. Este trabajo analiza las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Afectividad Positiva (Response to Positive Affect), para su adaptación al castellano y validación en población española. La escala mide las respuestas a las emociones experimentadas ante situaciones positivas (regulación emocional). Según los autores de la escala, está compuesta por tres factores: Amortiguación, Rumia positiva centrada en la emoción y Rumia positiva centrada en la persona. Se llevaron a cabo análisis factoriales
