“…For instance, Bebko et al () found diminished pupil sizes during emotion regulation, whereas other studies indicate that both increasing and decreasing negative emotions through reappraisal amplifies pupil dilation, most likely as a result of increased cognitive effort to regulate emotional responses (Johnstone, van Reekum, Urry, Kalin, & Davidson, ; Richey et al, ; Urry et al, ; van Reekum et al, ).
