Article Abstract
Emotion malleability beliefs have been demonstrated to influence emotion regulation at the trait level. Contemporary theories propose that emotion regulation involves several stages: identifying the need to regulate, selecting strategies, and implementing those strategies. It remains unclear how emotion malleability beliefs relate to these stages in everyday life. This study examined the relationships between emotion malleability beliefs and the three stages of emotion regulation using a dynamic structural equation modelling (DSEM). Data from three studies (total = 390) from the EMOTE database employing daily diary and ecological momentary assessment (EMA) were analysed. Emotion malleability beliefs were assessed at baseline, while emotion regulation strategies and negative emotions were assessed in daily lives. Results showed that emotion malleability beliefs were associated with the selection of cognitive reappraisal in the daily diary study, but not with any stage of emotion regulation in the EMA studies. Exploratory analyses further demonstrated a significant association between emotion malleability beliefs and the selection of situation modification in the daily diary study. These findings highlight the potential of EMA and daily diary studies to explore emotion regulation theories, while emphasising the need for further research into the dynamic relationships between emotion beliefs and regulation in daily life.

One factor that relates to clinical symptoms, affect, and emotion regulation is beliefs that individuals hold about the nature of emotions, specifically the degree to which they view emotions as changeable (E. T. Kneeland, Dovidio, et al.

The family stress model has illuminated pathways from economic hardship to parents' psychological distress to impaired caregiving. However, there is less family stress model research examining other risk processes that link parental stressors to parenting or resilience processes that counteract these pathways. This study examined parents' developmentally appropriate attributions (DAAs) of young children's behavior as a link between multiple dimensions of parental adversity and stress, and multiple parenting indicators.

Mindfulness meditation is a systematic training in equanimity, sensory clarity, and concentration rooted in ancient contemplative traditions. Here, we synthesized cognitive-behavioral outcomes in long-term meditators (LTMs) resulting from diverse, prolonged meditation practices. Preliminary evidence suggests that LTMs exhibit increased cognitive-sensory integration and decoupling of affective processes, demonstrated by enhanced interoceptive awareness, reduced negative affective pain perception, and more rational decision making.

Mental body representations are malleable and can be influenced by auditory cues. In the "Footsteps illusion," real-time alterations of walking sounds simulate those produced by heavier or lighter bodies, affecting perceptions of body weight, speed, and gender traits, and triggering emotional, behavioral, and physiological changes. While body illusions are known to affect social attitudes, less is known about how social factors influence body perception malleability.

This paper introduces the concept of "malleability" as a lens for understanding human interactions with writhing animals, using leech-human relations as a case study. Our research is based on ethnographic fieldwork among Dagestani healers in Dagestan and Turkey, 2019-2024. We argue that the malleability of leeches influences leeches' capacity for reversibility and shapes human-leech communication through their physical transformations and social roles.
