Although psychologists have generally conceptualized emotions in light of individual‐ and group‐ level approaches, in the current paper we propose that there are also system‐level emotional events, including both system‐based emotions (experienced as a direct or indirect consequence of system‐level characteristics) and system‐targeted emotions (reflecting evaluations that support or oppose the overarching social system). We begin by discussing how emotions are embedded in the social system and what system‐level functions they serve. We draw on system justification theory to understand the reciprocal relations between emotional life and ideologies that justify or challenge social systems. We then focus on three empirical propositions concerning the dynamics of system‐level emotions: (I) System‐based emotions reflect one’s subjective as well as objective standing in the social order; (II) System‐based emotions reflect one’s subjective appraisal of the social order; and (III) System‐level emotions affect action tendencies and behaviors, including behaviors that promote system stability versus change. The investigation of system‐level emotions promises to deepen our scientific understanding of the motivational dynamics of social stability and social change and to uncover the affective dimension of system justification processes. Extending the social psychological analysis of emotions to include contextual features at the level of social systems builds a much‐needed bridge between emotion research in psychology and sociology

Anger in psychotherapy practises: a discourse analysis
Evran, Ahmet; Gençöz, Faruk; Department of Psychology (2019)
The purpose of the current thesis is to explore the constructions of anger in the context of psychotherapy from a social constructionist perspective. In contrast to the mainstream understanding of emotions, anger is treated as an emotion which is constructed and reconstructed by the speakers in the context of social bonds throughout human history. Being compatible with this perspective, discourse analysis is conducted to the transcriptions of psychotherapy sessions in order to explore discursive organizatio...
Exploring the Link Between Emotional and Behavioral Dysregulation: A Test of the Emotional Cascade Model
Tuna, Ezgi; Bozo Özen, Özlem (Informa UK Limited, 2014-01-01)
The emotional cascade model (Selby, Anestis, & Joiner, 2008) posits that the link between emotional and behavioral dysregulation may be through emotional cascades, which are repetitive cycles of rumination and negative affect that result in an intensification of emotional distress. Dysregulated behaviors, such as non-suicidal self-injury, are used to reduce aversive emotions and distract the person from ruminative processes. The aim of the present study was to investigate the emotional cascade model in a no...
Modeling the relationships among someattitudinal variables toward mathematics
Gün, Özge; Bulut, Safure (null; 2016-08-03)
In the field of affect many researchers have underlined to clarify constructs such as beliefs, emotions and attitudes, and to better investigate the relationships among them. In our previous study we tested the tripartite model of attitude, according to which attitude has a cognitive, an affective and behavioral component via structural equation modeling and found significant results. In this paper we hypothesize two additional structural models that investigate further relationships using the same data for...
The Relationship between the types of narcissism and psychological well-being : the roles of emotions and difficulties in emotion regulation
Akıncı, İrem; Gençöz, Tülin; Department of Psychology (2015)
The aims of this study were (1) to examine the possible effects of age and gender on the subtypes of narcissism, emotions, emotion regulation difficulties, and psychological well-being; (2) to examine the variables associated with emotions, emotion regulation difficulties, and psychological well-being; and (3) to investigate the mediating role of emotions and emotion regulation difficulties between the subtypes of narcissism and psychological well-being. To achieve these aims, 559 participants aged 18 to 75...
Psychological distress among university students: the role of mindfulness, decentering, reappraisal and emotion regulation
Kaynakci, Fatma Zehra Unlu; Güneri, Oya (2022-02-01)
This study sheds light on the extent to which the five facets of mindfulness (observing, describing, acting with awareness, nonjudging, and nonreactivity), decentering, and reappraisal predict psychological distress via emotion regulation difficulties. The study sample is comprised of 620 undergraduate students (429 females and 191 males). The participants' ages range between 18 and 30 years (M-age = 21.88, SD = 1.68). Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to test the proposed model, which explain...
