Abstract

In the era of multicultural society, one of the social issues in Korea is hatred toward immigrants. This study suggested emotion regulation as a way to resolve this issue and investigated the effect of emotion regulation on changing emotions toward immigrants. In study 1, 236 participants completed online survey in which emotion regulation strategies (cognitive reappraisal, emotion suppression) and emotional experiences (sympathy, fear, hostility, and anger) toward immigrant workers were asked. Results showed that when age, gender, right-wing authoritarianism, and hostile attribution bias were controlled, sympathy was explained by cognitive reappraisal and emotion suppression. In addition, hostility was explained by emotion suppression. Study 2 was designed to investigate the effect of training on the change of emotional experience toward immigrants. In the training session, participants exercised cognitive reappraisal for 15 minutes upon the exposure to a series of emotion-eliciting pictures. Participants in control group were instructed to accept aroused emotions as it is for the same time amount of time. Participants completed three times of emotion ratings including post-training session (Time 1) and two times of online follow-up sessions for the following two months (Times 2 and 3). Results of hierarchical linear model, in which three times of emotion ratings are entered as within-person variables and group conditions as a between-person variable, showed that training group (n = 27) reported higher sympothy than the control (n = 27). The changing rate in the sympathy across times did not differ across groups. The results suggest the potential of short-term effect of cognitive reappraisal training in reducing negative emotions toward immigrants in Korea.
