Facets of emotional clarity and suspiciousness

Abstract: In a college student sample, we explored the relations between individual differences in facets of emotional clarity and suspiciousness. Previous theory and research has treated emotional clarity as a one-dimensional construct. Boden and Berenbaum (2011) proposed that a second facet of emotional clarity, source awareness (a general understanding of the cause of their emotions), could be distinguished from type awareness (a general understanding of the type of emotions [anger, fear] experienced). We found that … Show more

“…We assessed type clarity with 13 items from the clarity subscale of the Trait Meta Mood Scale (TMMS; Salovey et al, 1995) and the Difficulty Identifying Feelings subscale of the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20; Bagby et al, 1994). Source clarity was assessed with five items from the Sources of Emotions Scale (Boden & Berenbaum, 2012). We assessed voluntary attention with six items from the Attention subscale of the TMMS and two items from the Externally Oriented Thinking subscale of the TAS-20.…”

“…Type clarity represents the extent to which people unambiguously identify, label, and represent the type of emotion experienced (e.g., sadness versus anger). Source clarity represents the extent to which people unambiguously identify, label, and represent the source of their emotional experiences (Boden & Berenbaum, 2011; 2012). For example, greater source clarity reflects an improved ability to understand the source of their distress, whereas greater type clarity reflects an improved ability to understand the particular type of distress they might feel (e.g., sadness, fear).…”
