Front 1

what is the definition of emotion regulation by thompson?

Back 1

extrinsic and intrinsic processes responsible for monitoring, evaluating, and modifying emotional reactions, especially their intensive and temporal features, to accomplish one's goal

Front 2

What is gross's definition of emotion regulation?

Back 2

emotion regulation includes all of the conscious and unconscious strategies that we use to increase, maintain, or decrease one or more components of the emotional responses

Front 3

what is the prof's view of emotion regulation?

Back 3

- the occurence, form, intensity, or duration of internal feelings states, emotion related physiological states, and/or behavioral concomitants of emotion to accomplish emotion- related biological or social adaptation or achieving individual goals

Front 4

Front 8

How did Gross view emotion regulation strategies?

Back 8

as being on a linear line, in different times along the course of your emotional experience you can engage in different strategies to regulate your emotions

Front 9

what are the two main time points of emotion regulation strategies?

Back 9

- antecedent focused emotion regulation

- response focused emotion regulation

Front 10

what are four types of antecedent focused emotion regulation in order?

Back 10

- situation selection

- situation modification

- attentional deployment

- cognitive change (ex: reappraisal)

- response modulation (ex: suppression)

Front 11

describe a study by Gross that compared the effects of the supprsion strategy to the reappraisal strategy

Back 11

diff conditions were thhey were given diff instructions to regulate their emotins when watching the disgusting movie

the suppression group showed higher sympathetic nervous system arousal than the other two groups

Front 12

Gross did 5 studies that tested two general hypothesises, what are these 2 hypothesises:

Back 12

- people differ in their use of emotion regulation strategies of reappraisal and suppression

- these differences are related to different outcomes in social, wellbeing, and emotional

Front 13

what does the emotion regulation questionnaire look at?

Back 13

they are looking at people's general tendencies to use these different startegies of reappraisal and surpression

Front 14

in the first study they found that reappraisal was:

Back 14

related to greater positive emotional experiences

less negative emotional experiences

more positive emotional expression

less negative emotional expression

greater interpersonal functioning

greater wellbeing

Front 15

in this first study they found that suppression was:

Back 15

related to less positive emotional experience,

no impact or greater negative emotional experiences

less expression of positive emotions

less expression of negative emotions

less interpersonal functioning

less wellbeing

Front 16

what were the gender differnces they found in study 1:

Back 16

- men reported greater suppression than women

- there was no gender differences for the reappraisal strategy

Front 17

what was the finding for ethnicity in study 1?

Back 17

- the white sample used less suppression than any of the other ethnic groups (latino, asian, black)

Front 18

In study 2, they looked at how reappraisal and suppression was associated with the other constructs

for perceived regulation success theyfound

Back 18

suppression: high

reappraisal high

Front 19

negative mood regulation

Back 19

reappraisal : high

suppression: low

Front 20

rumination

Back 20

reappraisal: low

suppression : high

Front 21

neuroticism:

Back 21

reappraisal: low

suppression: not related to it

Front 22

extraversion

Back 22

reappraisal: high

suppression: low

Front 23

cognitive ability or social desireability

Back 23

not related to either reappraisal or suppression

Front 24

study 3 looked at self and peer reported emotional experience and expression

Back 24

ll

Front 25

for positive emotional experiences they found that:

Back 25

reappraisal is positively related to positive emotional expeirence

suppression is negatively related to positive emotional experience

Front 26

for positive expression of emotion:

Back 26

reappraisal is assocaited with higher expression of positive emotions

suppression is associated with less expression of positive emotions

Front 27

for experiencing negative emotions

Back 27

reappraisal is negatively correlated with experiencing negative emotions

suppression is positively associated with experienceing negative emotions

Front 28

for expression of negative emotions:

Back 28

peopple who reappraise are less likely to express negative emotions

for suppression there is no significant negative correlation between expression of negative emotions and supppression

which shows that people who use suppression actually do express some negative emotion, they strategy to not show emotion is not completely effective

Front 29

study 4 looked at social functioning:

Back 29

yayy

Front 30

for sharing positive emotions with others:

Back 30

reappraisal is associated with sharing both positive and negative emtions with others

suppression is not

Front 31

for avoidance of attachment:

Back 31

reappraisal was not related to avoidance of attachment

people who showed suppression did have avoidance of attahcmetn

Front 32

for close relationships:

Back 32

reapparisal assocaited with many close relationships

suppression assoociated with less close relationships

Front 33

likeability:

Back 33

people who show reappraisal are more liked by their peers

people who show suppression are less liked by their peers

Front 34

social support:

Back 34

was negatively related to suppression

not related to reappraisal

Front 35

study 5 looked at wellbeing

what did it find for depression:

Back 35

people who used reappraisal were less likely to have depressive symptoms

people who used suppressin were more likely to have depressive symptoms

Front 36

what did it find for wellbeing and life satisfaction:

Back 36

reappraisal is positively related to all of these aspects of wellbeing

the more peope suppressed their emotions the lower their wellbeing on the various domains

Front 37

what do we expect for emotional regulation and development?

Back 37

as people grow older their emotion regulation strategies become more habitual and stable over time

Front 38

what did a study looking at emotional regulation over development find for reappraisal

Back 38

- reappraisal scores were the same over time

- boys reported using less reappraisal than females

Front 39

what did this study find for suppression?

Back 39

- suppression scores tended to decrease as children got older

- males reported using more suppression than females

Front 40

what is one weakness of Gross's experiments?

Back 40

he only looked at two types of emotion regulation strategies but thier are otherones!

and in some situations some are better than other, it depends on the context!!

so it is better to have a wide range of strategies and be able to use the appropriate ones in the appropriate situations

it is important to look at the pattern of strategies, rather tahn just which strategy you use most often!

Front 41

In the prof's study, she looked at which different emotion strategies:

Back 41

- adjustment

- conceiling (you only suppress the expression of the emotion not the intenal experience of the emotion)

- reappraisal

- suppression

- emotional engagement (being able to recognise your emotions, idenfitiy with it and engage with it in some way (rather than avoiding the emotions))

Front 42

what were her results for the patterns of emotions regulation strategies that teenagers use?

Back 42

- there were 5 different clusters of responses

Front 43

what are these 5 clusters of responses?

Back 43

- average strategy use group

- adjustment propensity

- suppression propensity

- conceiling and suppression group

- emotionally disengaged (they were low on the emotional engagement strategy)

- no strategies (they didnt use any strategies to regulate their emotions)

Front 44

which groups were associated with the worst outcomes, and what were those outcomes?

Back 44

- no strategies

- emotionally disengaed

- conceiling and suppression group

led to the worse outcomes

it was related to anxiety and depression

Front 45

what group led to the best outcome?

Back 45

adjustment propensity group

(because they adapt themselves to the situation that they were in)

this group was much less likely to have anxiety or depression

Front 46

what are the main points from this week's lecture?

Back 46

According to the Process Model, emotionscan be regulate at different points in theemotion generation process

When and how emotions are regulated(and in what context) determines whetherstrategies are adaptive or not

• The use of ER strategies probablybecomes more trait-like over development
