The Effects of Individual Differences in Emotion Regulation Strategies on Emotional Responses
Abstract
This study is to examine the effects of emotional expression, cognitive reappraisal and expressive dissonance on negative emotional experiences. A total of 50 female undergraduate students were instructed to use different emotion regulation strategies, while viewing a disgust-inducing film. While watching, their experiential, physiological, and cognitive behavioral responses were measured. The results of the subjective emotional experiences indicated the largest decrease of positive emotions reported in the DG (expressive dissonance group), followed by the EG (emotional expression group), and then the CG (cognitive reappraisal group). However, the largest increase of negative emotions reported in the DG, and they reported in the following order, the CG, and the EG. For physiological responses, the DG showed skin conductance level (SCL) increase, while pulse volume amplitude decrease which are consistent with the emotional experience of disgust. However, the CG showed a decrease of SCL, which is associated with relief. For a cognitive behavioral response, there was no significant difference between the groups. This study suggests that cognitive reappraisal to a negative event is a more functional emotion regulation strategy, compared to that of the other strategies, which is related to experiential and physiological responses that affect emotion regulation strategies.
