Area of Science:

  • Environmental psychology
  • Clinical psychology
  • Psychophysiology

Background:

  • Established link between environment and mental health.
  • Limited research on environmental stress (ES) and emotional reactivity.
  • Gap in understanding momentary emotional responses to daily stressors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate the impact of daily environmental stress (ES) on momentary emotional reactivity.
  • Examine differences in emotional responses to ES between individuals with depression and healthy controls.
  • Explore the role of perceived control and environmental interaction.

Main Methods:

  • Employed a 7-day experience sampling method (ESM) with 8 daily assessments.
  • Recruited 15 participants with depression and 15 healthy controls from a Hong Kong cohort.
  • Utilized multilevel linear regression to analyze associations between ES, positive affect (PA), negative affect (NA), and group status.

Main Results:

  • Depressed group showed significantly increased NA in response to ES.
  • Control group exhibited decreased PA in response to ES.
  • Depressed individuals reported lower perceived control and environmental interaction.

Conclusions:

  • Experience sampling method (ESM) is a valid tool for studying environmental stress and emotional responses.
  • Findings offer insights into mechanisms of emotional dysregulation in stressful environments.
  • Highlights differential emotional reactivity to environmental stress in depression.
