This article summarizes the differences between self-reported and non-self-reported methods for measuring emotions. It also provides an overview of previous studies that examine indexes related to these methods, mainly in field affective trait research. Finally, discusses application explicit implicit measures. The main arguments this are as follows: (1) There is no superiority or inferiority m...

This study examined the effects of emotion on implicit timing. In the implicit timing task used, the participants did not receive any temporal instructions. Instead they were simply asked and trained to press a key as quickly as possible after a stimulus (response stimulus) that was separated from a preceding stimulus by a given temporal interval (reference interval duration). However, in the t...

The authors demonstrate that people differ systematically in their implicit theories of emotion: Some view emotions as fixed (entity theorists), whereas others view emotions as more malleable (incremental theorists). Using a longitudinal and multimethod design, the authors show that implicit theories of emotion, as distinct from intelligence, are linked to both emotional and social adjustment d...

In a recent review Shaheen (2014) surveys evidence-based and popular programs that are designed to advance the development of executive function in children. In this commentary I propose that psychoanalytic psychotherapy with children is an additional program and therapeutic orientation that promotes executive function development. In support of this proposal I review the executive function con...

Implicit theories of emotion--assumptions about whether emotions are fixed (entity theory) or malleable (incremental theory)--have previously been shown to influence affective outcomes over time. We examined whether implicit theories of emotion also relate to the immediate regulation of negative affect. Consistent with our hypotheses, we found that the more students endorsed an entity theory of...

Human-machine interaction is performed by devices such as the keyboard, the touch-screen, or speechto-text applications. For example, a speech-to-text application is software that allows the device to translate the spoken words into text. These tools translate explicit messages but ignore implicit messages, such as the emotional status of the speaker, filtering out a portion of information avai...

Sentiment analysis is one of the recent, highly dynamic fields in Natural Language Processing. Most existing approaches are based on word-level analysis of texts and are able to detect only explicit expressions of sentiment. In this paper, we present an approach towards automatically detecting emotions (as underlying components of sentiment) from contexts in which no clues of sentiment appear, ...

One in five American children grows up in poverty. Childhood poverty has far-reaching adverse impacts on cognitive, social and emotional development. Altered development of neurocircuits, subserving emotion regulation, is one possible pathway for childhood poverty's ill effects. Children exposed to poverty were followed into young adulthood and then studied using functional brain imaging with a...
