“…Specifically, better working memory appeared to support quicker generation of reappraisals for the personal task, and seemed important for generating a greater number of reappraisals on the impersonal task. This extends well-established findings of working memory and reappraisal (Hendricks & Buchanan, 2016;Jasielska, Kaczmarek, Brońska, Dominiak et al, 2017;McRae et al, 2012;Rowlands et al, 2019). It is, somewhat, surprising that working memory was not found to be predictive of the number of reappraisals produced on the personal task, given the previous findings using that same task (Rowlands et al, 2019).…”

Neuropsychological Rehabilitation

There has been substantial interest in emotion after acquired brain injury (ABI), but less attention paid to emotion regulation (ER). Research has focused primarily on the ER strategy of reappraisal for regulating negative emotions, without distinguishing between classes of emotion, and there has been no attempt at exploring these differences in patients with ABI.The present study explored components of reappraisal, across classes of emotion, and their associated neuropsychological mechanisms. Thirty-five patients with ABI and twenty-two matched healthy control participants (HCs) completed two questionnaires, a battery of cognitive tasks, and an emotion regulation task (the Affective Story Recall Reappraisal task).Results suggest that those with ABI take longer, and generate fewer reappraisals than HCs across several discrete emotions. Notably, their ability to decrease emotional intensity did not differ significantly to HCs for negative emotions, but findings suggest that their reappraisals are less effective when up-regulating neutral emotions to positive. Working memory was the only significant predictor of the total number of reappraisals generated, and the time taken to produce a first reappraisal. Implications of these findings are discussed in the context of neuropsychological rehabilitation, including the role of the relatives in implementing and reinforcing micro-interventions.

“…One possible explanation for this finding is that the intervention group, after receiving the ERT, may have become more adept at regulating their emotions after viewing the emotionally evocative videos. It is possible the intervention group chose adaptive regulation strategies, such as reappraisal, which has been associated with memory improvements (Hayes et al., 2010; Jasielska et al., 2017) and enhanced performance (Jamieson et al., 2010, 2013). However, further research utilizing large sample sizes and biological markers of stress, like salivary cortisol (Bozovic, Racic, & Ivkovic, 2013), would help to strengthen these findings.…”

“…Empirical research has demonstrated suppression of emotions is correlated with a reduction in working memory (Richards & Gross, 2000) and cognitive capability (Baumeister, Vohs, & Tice, 2007), while reappraisal has been shown to be linked with memory enhancements (Hayes et al., 2010; Jasielska et al., 2017) and improved performance (Jamieson, Mendes, Blackstock, & Schmader, 2010; Jamieson, Mendes, & Nock, 2013). The ERT program aimed to increase the use of adaptive coping techniques (e.g., reappraisal) while minimizing the employment of less adaptive strategies (e.g., suppression).…”

Validation of an Emotion Regulation Training Program on Mental Well-Being

et al. 2019

This research aimed to validate an Emotion Regulation Training program cultivating resilience, strengthening interpersonal communication, and enhancing emotional intelligence. A community sample of 104 participants were assigned to either an intervention ( n = 51) or nonactive control ( n = 53) group matched by age and gender. In addition, data were gathered via a cognitive performance test conducted pre- and postmeasurement in a subset of the larger sample ( n = 19 intervention, n = 19 control). Results revealed reappraisal significantly increased in the intervention group, which was associated with a decrease in depressive symptomology, worry, and suppression, and a concurrent increase in overall mental well-being, supporting the validation of the Emotion Regulation Training program.
