“…Davidson 2003), as well as enhanced rumination due to prolonged emotional rise and peak time for particularly negative emotions (Rusting and Nolen-Hoeksema 1998;Hofmann et al 2009). Furthermore, concealing is associated with enhanced and prolonged anxiety and depressive symptoms (Jiang et al 2018), and a distracted and wandering mind (Goleman and Davidson 2017, p. 172). For example, concealing individuals show enhanced sympathetic activation when giving an improptu speech compared to adjusting individuals (Hofmann et al 2009), just like concealing individuals tend to exhaust their mental resources more than other kinds of a↵ective styles due to suppression, resulting in a poorer memory (Richards and Gross 2000).…”

“…Consequently, we might find di↵erences between what constitutes social and political trust in the two countries. Also, studies on a↵ective styles have show that even though the ASQ has proven to be largely reliable and valid in di↵erent contexts, cultural di↵erences nevertheless exist when it comes to a↵ective styles (Ito and Hofmann 2014;Jiang et al 2018). And, more generally, we know that culture influences whether and how people regulate their emotions (e.g.…”

“…Following the PMER, we expect that emotional reappraisal down-regulates emotions, and thereby alters the trajectory of the emotional response early in the process. Consequently, adjusting individuals are less a↵ected by emotional valence and arousal, and as a result are more adaptable, less stressed, more robust, and better at moderating physiological arousal when exposed to challenging situations (Szasz et al 2011(Szasz et al , 2016Hofmann et al 2009;Gross 2002;Gross and John 2003;Jiang et al 2018). Conversely, the response-focused a↵ective style of concealing increases physiological responses to emotions due to e↵orts associated with inhibiting ongoing emotion-expressive behavior (Gross 2002, p. 284).…”

“…While multiple dimensions exist, relating to emotional processing and response (Fox 2008, p. 72-73) the ASQ is, to our knowledge, the only measure of all three a↵ective styles. While minor divergences exist across cultures, the construct and external validity of the ASQ is generally strong (Jiang et al 2018).…”

We know that emotions matter in politics, but less is known about the role of individual affective styles (i.e., the individual way of processing and responding to emotions). Building on the Process Model of Emotional Regulation (PMER), we report on two studies exploring the relationship between affective style (i.e. tolerating, adjusting, and concealing) and social and political trust. First, based on large-n survey data from Denmark (N=1048) and the United States (N=1046), we show strong cross-country similarities that adjusting positively predicts trust, while concealing negatively correlates with trust. Second, in a laboratory experiment (N=152), we conclude that concealing individuals are most influenced by emotions and contribute significantly less in a public goods game. In sum, combining various methodologies, we pioneer conclusions, showing affective style is a salient predictor for trust. We conclude by setting a research agenda for the inclusion of affective style in future studies in politics.

Affective styles are assumed to play an important role in maintaining negative affect, including anxiety and depression. However, little is known about the longitudinal relationship between affective styles and symptoms. Therefore, we conducted a longitudinal study to examine the influence of affective styles, assessed using the Affective Style Questionnaire, on anxiety and depression among clinical populations in Japan. Using an online survey, 1521 participants (406 with major depressive disorder; 479 with one or more anxiety disorders; and 636 with both) answered the Affective Style Questionnaire and measures of emotion regulation, anxiety and depression symptoms. Data were collected twice over 2 months. Confirmatory factor analyses replicated the same four-factor structure found in a previous sample of Japanese university students. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that the affective styles had a slightly greater effect on anxiety symptoms but not on depression compared to other common emotion regulation strategies, such as suppression and reappraisal measured by the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ). Limitations of this study were that it used online surveys, in which, participants' diagnostic statuses were based on unverifiable self-reports. In conclusion, the association of affective styles with anxiety and depression among the clinical populations was prospectively confirmed. Further study is needed to examine the association considering the combination or profiles of affective styles among different emotional disorders.

Background Financial toxicity describes the impairment of financial wellbeing in patients due to the burden of cancer diagnosis and care. The COST: A Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy Measure of Financial Toxicity (FACIT-COST) is the most widely used cancer-specific measure of subjective financial toxicity, having been validated in multiple languages, but not in Indonesian. This study aimed to validate the Indonesian version of FACIT-COST in a breast cancer sample. Methods A single-center prospective cohort study was performed in Indonesia. Female breast cancer patients aged ≥ 18 undergoing treatment at baseline were invited to participate and followed for up to six months. The survey included the official Indonesian version of FACIT-COST (v2) which was administered to the patients by interviewers. Clinical information (e.g., metastasis status, disease duration) was provided based on medical records. The following measurement properties of FACIT-COST were tested: distributional characteristics, structural validity (principal component [PCA] and confirmatory factor analyses [CFA]), internal consistency reliability (Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega), known-groups validity (Mann-Whitney U or Kruskal-Wallis H test), test-retest reliability, and responsiveness to change. Results Overall, 300 female patients participated at baseline. No patients reported the best or worst possible FACIT-COST total scores. The PCA proposed a two-factor model structure for the instrument, which was confirmed by the CFA (RMSEA = 0.042, SRMR = 0.049, CFI = 0.99, TLI = 0.99). The internal consistency reliability of the two factors was considered adequate (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.774–0.882, McDonald’s omega = 0.786–0.888). The FACIT-COST total score significantly discriminated across the following known-groups: age, education, residential setting, income, employment, metastasis status, number of symptoms, and financial coping strategies. The FACIT-COST demonstrated excellent test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.96) and satisfactory responsiveness to change (standardized response mean and effect size ranges=|0.39| to |0.92|). Conclusions This is the first study to validate the FACIT-COST in patients with breast cancer and to present the measurement properties of the Indonesian version of FACIT-COST. The Indonesian FACIT-COST demonstrates acceptable psychometric performance and shows potential as a valid measure of subjective financial toxicity. The instrument may serve as a valuable tool for informing health policies that focus on providing resource support to improve cancer care in Indonesia.
