Abstract

This study evaluated subjective and physiological responses in according to using acceptance and suppression of emotion regulation strategies to negative emotion-provoking stimulus. 37 college students were randomly assigned to two groups. One group listened to a rationale for suppression emotions, and another group listened to a rationale for acceptance emotions. After that, participants watched an emotion-provoking film and applied the instructions. Subjective distress and skin conductance Response were measured before, during, and after watching the film. Both groups reported similar levels of subjective distress during the film in VAS. Suppression group was less distressed than acceptance group in PANAS-N after the film. However the suppression group's skin conductance level was higher than the acceptance group. According to the result, suppression group reported lower subjective distress, but they have higher physiological arousal. Theoretical and clinical implication of these results are discussed with the limitation of the present study and the suggestions for the future study.
