          Abstract

          Behavioral markers are used in training and assessment of nontechnical skills (NTSs). This study tested the reliability of a unique set of markers designed to help assess heightened emotional activity (HEA) as a response to perceived threats. Using five markers that represent instances of negative emotional states, 27 commercial airline pilots recorded their observations of HEA in eight video vignettes of scripted flight deck situations. The raters’ scores were analyzed using Cronbach’s alpha for dichotomous data. The alpha statistics indicated high inter-rater reliability across all five HEAs. This study demonstrates that the chosen instances of HEA can be reliably identified by airline pilots.

          Hiding feelings: the acute effects of inhibiting negative and positive emotion.

          Emotion regulation plays a central role in mental health and illness, but little is known about even the most basic forms of emotion regulation. To examine the acute effects of inhibiting negative and positive emotion, we asked 180 female participants to watch sad, neutral, and amusing films under 1 of 2 conditions. Suppression participants (N = 90) inhibited their expressive behavior while watching the films; no suppression participants (N = 90) simply watched the films. Suppression diminished expressive behavior in all 3 films and decreased amusement self-reports in sad and amusing films. Physiologically, suppression had no effect in the neutral film, but clear effects in both negative and positive emotional films, including increased sympathetic activation of the cardiovascular system. On the basis of these findings, we suggest several ways emotional inhibition may influence psychological functioning.

            Are Emotions Natural Kinds?

            Laypeople and scientists alike believe that they know anger, or sadness, or fear, when they see it. These emotions and a few others are presumed to have specific causal mechanisms in the brain and properties that are observable (on the face, in the voice, in the body, or in experience)-that is, they are assumed to be natural kinds. If a given emotion is a natural kind and can be identified objectively, then it is possible to make discoveries about that emotion. Indeed, the scientific study of emotion is founded on this assumption. In this article, I review the accumulating empirical evidence that is inconsistent with the view that there are kinds of emotion with boundaries that are carved in nature. I then consider what moving beyond a natural-kind view might mean for the scientific understanding of emotion.
