Torn Between Valences: Mixed Emotions Predict Poorer Psychological Well-Being and Job Burnout.

ABSTRACT: Conflicting perspectives on whether mixed emotions are adaptive states which promote integrative processes or uncomfortable states which are agonizing make divergent predictions on whether mixed emotions in daily life are conducive towards psychological well-being. We examined this across three studies. Study 1 (N = 335, 135 males; M _age = 41.31) examined associations between state mixed emotions and psychological well-being. Study 2 (N = 389; 160 males; M _age = 40.86) examined associations between workplace-specific mixed emotions and workplace ill-being assessed based on burnout. Both direct measures and indirect measures were examined in Study 1 and 2, allowing some comparison of methodological issues related to their predictive validity
