自动情绪调节策略对焦虑个体负性情绪的作用

目的:探讨自动情绪调节策略对焦虑者负性情绪的调节作用。方法:以状态—特质焦虑量表(SATI)为标准,筛选出焦虑组和正常组被试各90名,以句子整理任务启动不同的自动情绪调节策略。结果:①启动自动表达抑制策略时焦虑组对情绪图片的唤醒度显著高于正常组,而启动自动认知重评策略时两组无显著差异;②焦虑个体在自动认知重评策略的调节下对情绪图片的唤醒度最低,而无策略组的唤醒度最高。结论:自动认知重评和自动表达抑制均能有效下调焦虑个体的负性情绪体验,且自动认知重评的效果优于自动表达抑制,因此自动情绪调节策略有助于缓解焦虑个体的焦虑感。

The Effect on Automatic Emotion Regulation of Anxiety Individuals in Negative Emotion

Objective: To explore the effect on automatic emotion regulation of anxiety individuals in regulating negative emotion.Methods: SATI was used to break up participants into two groups(anxiety group and normal group),then sentence unscrambling task was used to manipulate automatic emotion regulation.Results: ①Emotion experience of the anxiety group was more intense than that of the normal group in the effect of automatic expressive suppression;however,there was no difference in the two groups in the effect of automatic cognitive reappraisal.②For anxiety individuals,the emotion experience was least intense in the effect of automatic cognitive reappraisal and most intense in non-automatic emotion regulation.Conclusion: The emotion experience of anxiety individuals will less intense when priming automatic emotion regulation and the automatic cognitive reappraisal is more effective,therefore the automatic emotion regulation is contributive to down-regulating the emotion experience of anxiety individuals.
