Negative emotion differentiation and long-term physical health-The moderating role of neuroticism.

For individuals low on neuroticism, negative emotion differentiation is a beneficial regulatory capacity that has substantial positive associations with later health outcomes. However, these health benefits did not generalize to individuals higher on neuroticism, suggesting that there are limits to the regulatory benefits afforded by negative emotion differentiation. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).
