Article Synopsis
- Reappraisal is an emotion regulation strategy that involves reinterpreting and labeling emotions, primarily engaging the lateral prefrontal cortex, which is critical for cognitive regulation.
- An experiment with 35 participants showed that while reappraisal reduced negative emotions, combining it with affect labeling did not enhance this effect, and was actually less effective than reappraisal alone.
- The study measured changes in subjective negative emotions and brain activity, suggesting that affect labeling may not facilitate emotional regulation as previously thought.
