“…Finding that Sadness variability explained significant variance in generalized disturbance at Day_28 supports the notion that patterns of within-person variation can operate as important between-persons predictors (see Eizenman et al, 1997). The extent to which participants varied in their reports of Sadness was a critical factor in predicting depression and anxiety over time, explaining 7% of the adjusted variance in generalized distress beyond the effects of self-blame and mean Sadness.…”

This study prospectively examined the emotional experiences of 58 young adult college students who had, within the previous two weeks, ended a committed romantic relationship lasting an average of 20 months. Participants completed an intake questionnaire battery and then rated their emotional experiences in a daily diary when signaled at random each day for 28 days. After the month period, participants were re-assessed with the same intake questionnaire materials. The chief aims of this study were to prospectively investigate how individuals emotionally cope with a separation experience and to examine patterns of affect regulation that are associated with better or worse psychological adjustment over time.In cross-sectional analyses, attachment security and coping self-blame and avoidance were significantly related to both the non-diary and diary outcome measures. Comparisons with a sample of individuals in intact dating relationships indicated that the experience of ending a relationship is highly dysregulating, both in terms of mean daily affect as well as observed variability in affect. Confirmatory factor analyses of the diary items revealed that the structure of affect could not be described as invariant, indicating that qualitative (rather than quantitative) change occurred in the way participants reported their emotional experiences over time.Growth curve models indicated that each of the four diary composites evidenced significant change over time; however, the slope basis and nature of change differed for each emotion. Individual difference variables were significantly associated with the levels and slopes of these models, and the time-varying covariate of contact (with one's former partner) was strongly associated with increases in Love and Sadness within the growth models. In the final set of analyses, small but reliable sub-groups of similarly varying participants were iii identified and their covariance structures were pooled for dynamic factor modeling. The bivariate factor analyses demonstrated clear evidence of cross-factor loadings both within and across time, indicating that systematic patterns of interrelations among the diary composites could be identified and modeled. Overall, the findings are discussed in terms of their contribution to the study of basic emotion and emotion regulation, as well as the implications for grieving a separation experience.iv Acknowledgements

“…Aging and quality of life among the elderly cannot be understood fully without knowledge of the prior life course. Furthermore, according to Eizenman, Nesselroade, Featherman, and Rowe (1997), a high sense of perceived control is a hallmark of successful aging. Thus, the question arises as to how past feelings of perceived control can affect present psychological and physical health of the elderly.…”

Spiritual Turning Points and Perceived Control over the Life Course

Recent evidence indicates that spirituality and religion are associated with both physical and psychological health. Because a belief that rewards are largely determined by external forces tends to be detrimental to mental health, the idea that God can be equated with such an external force seems contradictory to the proven benefits of religion and spirituality. The purpose of this article is to examine changes in perceived control in the context of spiritual turning points as uncovered in the narrative histories of 30 elderly people. We propose that for many people who derive benefits from religion or spirituality, God may act as a mediator, in the sense that trusting in God provides personal control. In addition to creating a model of God-mediated control, the study's findings suggest a relationship between recall for type of control during a spiritual turning point and the interpretation of that turning point in late life.

“…To assess shortterm variability, participants are asked to complete the Self-Esteem Scale either once or twice a day for consecutive days with directions to evaluate how they feel about themselves at that particular point in time. Similar to Eizenman et al (1997), the standard deviation of the total scores from these repeated assessments are calculated for each individual and used as a measure of intraindividual variability. The larger the standard deviation, the greater the variability the individual exhibits.…”

Intraindividual variability of self-evaluations in the physical domain: Prevalence, consequences, and sources

Research and theory have highlighted the influence of self-evaluations on achievement behaviors, cognitions, and affective responses. Nevertheless, the focus has primarily been on level of self-evaluations (i.e., high or low). One individual difference factor receiving increasing attention is the degree to which individuals exhibit short-term fluctuations in their self-evalu~tions (i.e., intraindividual variability). Research in developmental and social psychology has shown that intraindividual variability of global self-esteem is related to motivational and affective responses above and beyond level of self-esteem. The goal of this study was to extend the literature on self-evaluations by examining intraindividual variability of global and physical self-evaluations (i.e., global self-worth, physical self-worth, perceived physical competence). Specifically, the study examined: (a) the prevalence of intraindividual variability of global and physical selfevaluations; (b) the independent and combined influence of level and intraindividual variability of self-evaluations on motivation and affect toward physical activity; and, (c) the relationship between social sources of evaluative information and intraindividual variability. Middle school students (N = 167) ranging in age from 12-15 years (M = 13.48 years, SD = .56) completed questionnaires each day that they were in physical education class for 3 weeks (i.e., 6 occasions). Results revealed that the majority of the boys and girls exhibited fluctuations in their self-evaluations over the 3 weeks. Level of self-evaluations was the critical predictor of affect and intrinsic motivation in most analyses; however, stability of self-evaluations did make varying contributions to the prediction of intrinsic motivation and affect, but not effort and persistence. The influence ·of intraindividual variability was particularly salient for adolescents with higher levels of iii global self-worth. Students with higher but relatively less stable global self-worth exhibited lower intrinsic motivation and affect than students with higher but stable global self-evaluations. Nonsignificant relationships were found between intraindividual variability and the importance that students' placed on social sources of evaluative information. Overall, results indicated that intraindividual variability of global and physical self-evaluations should be considered along with level to gain a more complete understanding of adolescents' sport and physical activity experiences.IV ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
