Abstract
Clift and Veilleux adapt the reflexive-responding-to-emotion model to momentary states — eight days of EMA show affect and perceived emotional control jointly predict rash action and inaction.
Clift, J. B., & Veilleux, J. C. (2024). Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science, 133(7), 541–553. DOI
Key findings
- Dynamic impulsivity — Emotion-related impulsivity fluctuates within persons; trait scales miss state-level urges and actions.
- Control moderation — Momentary willpower and distress intolerance moderate links between affect and rash behaviour.
- EMA volume — Over five thousand momentary prompts across 197 participants power within-person models.
Application
When your grid logs trigger and cost daily, you are sampling the same dynamic signal EMA uses — count rows before rewriting the Battle.
