Emotion Regulation and Trait anxiety: Spontaneous Versus Instructed Use of Emotion Suppression and Reappraisal strategy
Abstract
Emotion dysregulation is known vulnerability factor for anxiety disorders. However, few empirical studies have focused on this concept. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that trait anxiety is related to difficulties with emotion regulation by comparing anxiety-prone participants (n=40) and low anxiety participants (n=40). In the first phase, participants completed questionnaires to assess standard use of emotion regulation strategies. In the second phase, fear mood was induced using a film clip, and the participants were assessed for employing spontaneous suppression versus reappraisal to regulate their emotion. In the third phase, participants received suppression or reappraisal instructions prior to watching a second fear-inducing film. As predicted, suppression was ineffective for down-regulating negative emotions, and high-anxiety participants reported spontaneous used this strategy during the first fear-inducing film more often than low anxiety participants. The results of the provoked suppression versus reappraisal on negative mood indicated that the high-anxiety participants reported significantly higher emotional response during the film as compared to low-anxiety participants. These results provided evidence for a role for spontaneous suppression and indicated a reduced effectiveness of instructed reappraisal as a functional strategy in anxiety-prone individuals.
