“…Analyses were then performed using the lavaan package on R , and a latent variable cross-lagged panel model was examined to test long-term bidirectional relationships between emotional ambivalence and psychological well-being about a decade later after controlling for baselines. This analytic strategy is well-validated and consistent with many other recent analyses of the MIDUS dataset (Dewitte et al, 2020 ; Hartanto et al, 2019 ; Tong et al, 2021 ; Wiese et al, 2019 ) as well as of other longitudinal datasets (Orth et al, 2021 ). 5 Additionally, we addressed missing data using full information maximum likelihood (FIML) procedures, which are widely considered the gold standard for handling missing data (Enders & Bandalos, 2001 ).…”

Conflicting perspectives on whether mixed emotions are adaptive states which promote integrative processes or uncomfortable states which are agonizing make divergent predictions on whether mixed emotions in daily life are conducive towards psychological well-being. We examined this across three studies. Study 1 ( N = 335, 135 males; M age = 41.31) examined associations between state mixed emotions and psychological well-being. Study 2 ( N = 389; 160 males; M age = 40.86) examined associations between workplace-specific mixed emotions and workplace ill-being assessed based on burnout. Both direct measures and indirect measures were examined in Study 1 and 2, allowing some comparison of methodological issues related to their predictive validity. Study 3 ( N = 3444; 1587 males; M age = 55.34) examined bidirectional relationships between an index of emotional ambivalence and psychological well-being about ten years later, controlling for baselines. Demographic covariates, positive emotions, and negative emotions were controlled for in all studies. Analyses were performed using latent variable structural equation modelling. After adjusting for all covariates, the direct measures of mixed emotions predicted poorer psychological well-being (Study 1) and greater burnout (Study 2). However, indirect measures were found to suffer from relatively greater multicollinearity and poorer predictive validity upon controlling for positive and negative emotions. In Study 3, emotional ambivalence predicted poorer long-term psychological well-being, while psychological well-being also predicted lower emotional ambivalence, supporting bidrectionality. The findings provide preliminary evidence that naturalistically experienced mixed emotions may be conflicting and unpleasant, with potentially negative implications for psychological well-being over and above positive and negative emotions.

“…Even when seeking to assess positive conditions, one can assess it alongside negative conditions or variables, as when comparing between positive and negative economic changes on societal well-being (De Neve et al, 2018). This also extends to modeling outcomes of well-being where positive and negative emotions have been found to have independent effects on future physical health (Wiese, Chen, Tay, Friedman, & Rector, 2018).…”

This chapter examines 10 methodological issues when assessing and analyzing societal well-being using self-reports. First, there are unit-of-analysis issues: deciding the appropriate level of analysis, accounting for individual-level score variability in societal-level scores, testing isomorphism across levels, and finding ways of aggregating and accounting for score variability. Second, there are comparability issues: researchers have sought to homogenize well-being scales with different response scales or use translated measures to compare across nations. Furthermore, there is the concern of whether well-being measures can capture the full range of well-being (both positive and negative aspects). The final set of issues are prediction issues: well-being measures may be more sensitive to negative than positive events/experiences, societal well-being may not always be linearly related to variables of interest, and domain-specific measures may be more sensitive than general measures of well-being, especially when tracking specific changes in well-being or comparing subgroups.

“…For decades, researchers have examined how positive and negative affect relate to different aspects of adaptive functioning including mental health, well-being, and physical health (e.g., Kahneman, Diener, & Schwarz, 1999; Pressman & Cohen, 2005; Ryan & Deci, 2001; Watson, Clark, & Carey, 1988; Wiese, Chen, Tay, Friedman, & Rector, 2018). Most work on relationships between affect and various aspects of health and well-being has focused on the average level of experienced positive and negative affect.…”

Emodiversity, or the variety and relative abundance of emotions experienced, provides a metric that can be used to understand emotional experience and its relation to well-being above and beyond average levels of positive and negative affect. Past research has found that more diverse emotional experiences, both positive and negative, are related to better mental and physical health outcomes. The present research aimed to test the relationship between positive and negative emodiversity across the span of 8 days with measures of health and well-being using 2 samples of the Midlife in the United States study (http://midus.wisc.edu/). Participants (N ϭ 2,788) reported emotional states (14 negative, 13 positive) once each day for 8 days. Emodiversity scores were computed for each day using an adaptation of Shannon's biodiversity index and averaged across the days. All models included average affect and demographic covariates. Greater positive emodiversity was associated with fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety and fewer physical health symptoms but was not related to eudaimonic well-being nor cognitive functioning. In contrast to previous research, greater negative emodiversity was related to more symptoms of depression and anxiety and more physical health symptoms. Greater negative emodiversity was only associated with one positive outcome: better executive functioning. These findings illustrate inconsistencies across studies in whether negative emodiversity is associated with better or worse outcomes and raise further questions about how the construct of emodiversity can be better refined.
