“…The reward sensitivity model posits that the relationship between dispositional extraversion and positive affect is at least partly explained by the greater reward sensitivity of dispositional extraverts, and there is considerable evidence that more dispositionally extraverted individuals are in fact more sensitive to rewarding stimuli (e.g. DesRosiers & Robinson, 1992;Gross et al, 1998;Larsen & Ketelaar, 1989Lucas & Baird, 2004;Lucas, Le, & Dyrenforth, 2008;Mayo, 1983Mayo, , 1989Rusting, 1999). However, the present study failed to find empirical support that the reward sensitivity model can be extended to the effect of state extraversion on positive affect.…”

However, to this point there has been no test of whether reward sensitivity varies within an individual with the individual's level of state extraversion.…”

The effect of state extraversion on four types of affect

The primary purpose of this study was to determine the effect of state extraversion on different types of affect. Ninety six participants were instructed to be extraverted or introverted in a 10‐minute dyadic discussion. State extraversion had a strong effect on positive affect and smaller (but still strong) effects on pleasant and activated affect, with these latter two effects almost equal in magnitude. This pattern of findings appears to increase confidence that the effect of state extraversion is genuine rather than the result of construct overlap, in that extraversion's effect on positive affect is not dominated by its effect on activated affect. No support for reward sensitivity as a potential explanatory mechanism was found. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A test of the interacting cognitive subsystems model using a laboratory analogue of depressive interlock

The interacting cognitive subsystems (ICS) model has been described as a useful framework within which to understand a wide variety of psychological phenomena. There is now a small literature of studies that have found support for many of the model's basic features. One feature that has not been studied is depressive interlock, described as uncontrollable, repetitious processing of negative themes. To further test some of the predictions derived from ICS, we compared a group of clinically depressed participants with a non-depressed control group, using a specially designed cognitive task to examine the effects of emotional tone of stimuli on information processing. Results indicated that depression (but not euthymia) is characterized by perseverative responding for both positively and negatively emotionally toned self-related material, but not for similar neutral material. This result is suggested as further empirical support for the ICS framework.

“…As such, tendencies towards experiencing negative or positive affective states may influence one's evaluation of relationships, and underlie consistencies in the way relationships are perceived and rated. Consistent with this possibility, neuroticism has been associated with an enhanced capacity to recall unpleasant stimuli and negative personal memories, and poorer accuracy in recalling positive information (DesRosiers & Robinson, 1992;Rusting & Larsen, 1998). Forgas and colleagues (1994) further report that mood states affect evaluations of long-term relationships, especially when asked to reflect upon serious conflicts with partners.…”

Can Genetic Factors Explain the Spillover of Warmth and Negativity Across Family Relationships?

Previous studies indicate that the emotional quality of marital relationships is mirrored in parent-child relationships. We explored the degree to which these associations are explained by genetic and environmental factors. Participants were drawn from the Twin and Offspring Study in Sweden (TOSS), and included 544 female twin pairs (258 monozygotic [MZ], 286 dizygotic [DZ]), and 311 male twin pairs (128 MZ, 183 DZ). The spouses and one adolescent child of each twin also participated in this study. The twins completed self-report measures that assessed their marital quality and their warmth and negativity towards their children. Observational ratings of marital warmth and negativity, and of maternal warmth and negativity were obtained for a subset of female twin pairs (150 MZ, 176 DZ). Selfreported marital satisfaction was associated with self-reported parental warmth and negativity for mothers (rs = .25, -.36) and fathers (rs = .25, -.44). For the observational measures, marital warmth was associated with maternal warmth (r = .42), while marital negativity was associated with maternal negativity (r = .34). On average genetic factors explained nearly half of the covariance between selfreported marital satisfaction and parenting for mothers (48%) and fathers (47%). Genetic factors explained 21% of the covariance between observed marital and maternal warmth, but did not contribute to associations between marital and maternal negativity. These findings indicate that parents' genetically influenced characteristics help shape the emotional climate of the family.Over 3 decades of research have recognized that relationships within families affect each other. Of particular interest have been associations between parents' marital relationship and parent-child relationships. Previous studies report consistent associations between the parents' perceptions of the marital relationship, the presence of marital conflict, and parenting behaviors. In a meta-analysis of 68 studies, Erel and Burman (1995) found that on average, associations between indices of marital quality and parenting were moderate in magnitude. In a more recent meta-analysis, Krishnakumar and Buehler (2000) focused exclusively upon associations between marital conflict and indices of negative parenting (harsh discipline, lax control) and positive parenting styles (supportiveness and control). Similar to the earlier meta-analysis, high levels of marital conflict were correlated with greater use of harsh discipline and lower parental support.Although these associations are well established, the underlying mechanisms are not entirely clear. Current theories emphasize environmental mechanisms to explain consistencies in the expression of positive and negative affect across family relationships. For example, one predominant theory proposes that highly conflictual or poor quality marriages place emotional stress on parents, leading to deterioration in parenting quality (e.g., Easterbrooks & Emde, 1988). A second explanation is that emotions and behaviors from one r...
