New preprint with @HayoungAhn, @jschleiderphd.bsky.social, and @leahsom! We find that language becomes both more psychologically distanced and more *abstract* when regulating emotions. Results nicely align with Construal Level Theory and extend understanding of lang-emotion relations! osf.io/a2zv3/

Important takeaway: The semantic space model is more informative than the others; you can't discover what you don't measure. Amusement, cute, wonder, pride--all associated with post sharing. It's not just about anger etc.
