The results revealed a reversed u-shaped relation between girls' emotional variability and the number of conflicts. Moreover, girls who showed limited variability in emotional states across conflict episodes tended to attach the same emotional state to divergent conflict topics. Explained as the result of a self-organizing process, emotional rigidity (i.e., a lack of variability and contextual sensitivity) possibly undermines the adaptive
