Psychology emotion regulation The ability to regulate one's emotions is an integral part of social behavior. One emotion regulation strategy, known as reappraisal, is characterized by cognitively evaluating an emotional stimulus to reduce its emotional impact. This study was designed to determine what emotion regulation strategies people naturally use in emotional situations and to test whether reappraisal is an ability that can be taught. Participants (50 men, 63 women) were shown a negative and a positive film clip, an experimental group received reappraisal training, and two more negative and positive clips were shown. Participants with high baseline respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) naturally used more reappraisal than those with low RSA, but low RSA participants made greater advances in reappraisal use after training. Increased behavioral inhibition was associated with increased self-reported negative affect and decreased arousal to the negative films, while increased behavioral activation was related to greater sympathetic activation to the positive films. 2008-07-16 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1212754868 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1212754868 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
