Emotional Inertia and Psychological Maladjustment

Abstract: This paper examines the concept of emotional inertia to capture a fundamental property of the emotion dynamics that may characterize psychological maladjustment. Emotional inertia simply refers to the degree to which emotional states are resistant to change. As psychological maladjustment has been associated with both emotional underreactivity and ineffective emotion regulation skills, we hypothesized that its overall emotion dynamics would be characterized by high levels of inertia. Using different methods, w… Show more

“…Recently, Kuppens and colleagues have explored context insensitivity through the construct of emotional inertia (Suls, Green, & Hillis, 1998) in adolescence (Kuppens et al, 2010;Kuppens et al, 2012). Emotional inertia reflects the tendency to perseverate in a particular emotional state despite shifting contextual demands.…”

These investigations have exposed normative individual differences as well as the problems associated with extreme levels of either flexibility or rigidity.…”

“…This is consistent with the idea that such transitions tend to happen when a subject is close to a tipping point. The relationship between elevated temporal correlations and upcoming transitions we detected is also consistent with independent earlier studies, showing that 'emotional inertia' (slower rates of change in emotion scores) is associated with future transition into a more depressed state (Kuppens et al 2010. Moreover, the corresponding view of depression as an alternative stable state is in line with the finding of reinforcing feedbacks between emotions, and with the sudden character of shifts to depression and recovery (Aderka et al 2012).…”

In this paper, we propose a dynamic model suited to capture changes in the dynamics of emotional functioning via time-varying model parameters.…”
