Objective: Interpersonal and emotional functioning are closely linked and reciprocally influence one another. Contemporary integrative interpersonal theory (CIIT) offers a useful framework to conceptualize these patterns and guide interventions in cases where these patterns result in dysfunction. Stress processes offer several dynamic frameworks to guide empirical investigations using methods that allow for fine-grained analyses in the context of daily life. METHOD Four samples of adults (Sample 1, N = 145; Sample 2, N = 160; Sample 3, N = 297; Sample 4 = 89 dyads, 178 individuals) completed ecological momentary assessment protocols focused on a variety of interpersonal and emotional experiences. Samples were enriched for aggressive and self-harming behavior (Sample 1), trait hostility (Sample 2), interpersonal problems (Sample 3), and personality disorder features (Sample 4). RESULTS Using multilevel dynamic structural equation modeling, we investigated how emotions and interpersonal functioning operate over brief timescales in daily life. We found evidence for a vicious socioemotional cycle across all four samples, whereby negative emotions related to interpersonal conflict (i.e., perceptions of and enacting cold, antagonistic, or quarrelsome behavior; components that contribute to the interpersonal situation from the perspective of CIIT) which in turn related to increased negative emotions. Although individuals differed in the strength of this process, it was unrelated to trait negative affectivity. CONCLUSIONS Viewing these results through the lens of CIIT, we discuss multiple intervention points highlighted by these dynamic results whereby the vicious cycle might be changed.

负面情绪和人际冲突的恶性社会情感循环的证据。


目标： 人际关系和情绪功能密切相关，并相互影响。当代综合人际理论 （CIIT） 提供了一个有用的框架来概念化这些模式，并在这些模式导致功能障碍的情况下指导干预。压力过程提供了几个动态框架来指导实证调查，使用允许在日常生活环境中进行精细分析的方法。方法 四个成人样本（样本 1，N = 145;样本 2，n = 160;样本 3，n = 297;样本 4 = 89 个二元组，178 人）完成了生态瞬时评估方案，重点关注各种人际关系和情感体验。样本丰富了攻击性和自残行为 （样本 1）、特质敌意 （样本 2）、人际关系问题 （样本 3） 和人格障碍特征 （样本 4）。结果使用多级动态结构方程建模，我们研究了情绪和人际功能在日常生活中的短暂时间尺度上是如何运作的。我们在所有四个样本中都发现了恶性社会情感循环的证据，其中负面情绪与人际冲突有关（即感知和实施冷漠、对抗或争吵行为;从 CIIT 的角度来看，导致人际关系状况的组成部分），这反过来又与负面情绪的增加有关。尽管个体在这个过程的强度上有所不同，但它与特质消极情感无关。结论 通过 CIIT 的镜头看待这些结果，我们讨论了这些动态结果突出的多个干预点，从而可能改变恶性循环。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 （c） 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
