| dc.description.abstract | Based on the empirical-grounded Self-Determinated Theory, Emotion Crafting has broadened the emotion regulation theory. Emotion crafting is defined as a proactive and anticipatory act, performed with consciousness and receptiveness, which have integrated the essence of the contemporary concept of mindfulness. As other studies have suggested that is important to understand the conceptualizing of mindfulness because of its relationship with other variables, thus, this paper aims to understand the relationship between mindfulness and emotion crafting, by looking at cultural values like uncertainty avoidance as a moderator. A cross-sectional, diary study in Norway consisting of 116 participants (Mage=29.41, SD=11.87, 58.3% female) found a significant relationship between mindfulness and emotion crafting, but, surprisingly not any effect of the moderator i.e. uncertainty avoidance. Regardless of the nonsignificant findings, there is important to continue examining variables that could predetermine ways to enhance emotion crafting regardless of cultural values and beliefs. | |
