Abstract

Emotion regulation has become a hot research topic in psychological research in recent years; this study reviewed the research on emotion regulation strategies in the last ten years, and the previous research focused on introducing a new concept of regulation strategy-reception strategy, and to explore the similarities and differences between the emotional response and the neural mechanism of cognitive assessment and the expression of inhibitory strategies. It was found that cognitive assessment could reduce the emotional experience, reduce the activation of the physiological response and sympathetic nervous system, and decrease the level of activation of the amygdala; while the inhibition of expression was able to reduce emotional behavior, but the physiological response and sympathetic nervous system activation was enhanced, and the level of activation of the amygdala did not decrease; at the same time, it was a kind of emotion regulation strategy between cognitive reappraisal and expression inhibition, the regulation effect of the emotion was better than that of the expression inhibition, but less than the cognitive reappraisal, in the neural mechanism, the three common brain areas.

Highlights

  • The study of human emotion has a long history, and the influence of emotion on human cognition and decision making process has been widely explored and measured by psychologists

  • Based on the review and integration of these studies, this study focuses on the comparison of these three strategies in emotional experience and physiological responses and activation of different brain regions, to find cognitive reappraisal, expression inhibition and accepted strategy, which is better in the process of emotion regulation, and from the perspective of the brain mechanism to be revealed

  • 5 Summary and Outlook In the study of emotion regulation strategies, it is focused on the effects of cognitive reappraisal of expression inhibition and reception strategies on the emotional response and the corresponding mechanisms of the brain

Summary

Introduction

The study of human emotion has a long history, and the influence of emotion on human cognition and decision making process has been widely explored and measured by psychologists. In the study of cognitive psychology, it is found that different emotion regulation strategies can affect the memory and the distribution of attention [1] [2]. The common basis of these accepted orientations of psychotherapy—accepted strategy as a kind of emotion regulation strategy begins to receive extensive attention and a lot of research. A large number of studies have explored and measured the different effects of these three kinds of emotion regulation modes on emotion, cognition and social behavior. Based on the review and integration of these studies, this study focuses on the comparison of these three strategies in emotional experience and physiological responses and activation of different brain regions, to find cognitive reappraisal, expression inhibition and accepted strategy, which is better in the process of emotion regulation, and from the perspective of the brain mechanism to be revealed
