A

How people use cues in their environment

87
Q

What were the 3 hypotheses of Schachter and Singer’s study investigating how people use cues in their environment to explain the physiological changes they experience?

A
  1. If a person experiences a state of arousal for which they have no immediate explanation, they will “label” this state and describe their feelings in terms of the cognitions available to them at that time.
  2. If a person experiences a state of arousal for which they have an appropriate explanation (e.g., “I feel this way because I have just received an injection of adrenaline”), they will be unlikely to label their feelings in terms of the alternative cognitions available.
  3. If a person is put in a situation, which in the past could have made them feel an emotion, they will react emotionally or experience emotions only if they are in a state of physiological arousal.
88

90
Q

91
Q

What did the findings of Schachter and Singer’s study, investigating how people use cues in their environment to explain the physiological changes they experience, conclude?

Emotions are the result of the interaction between physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation

118
Q

Describe the aim of Nord et al.’s study investigating neural changes following antidepressant treatment versus psychological therapy for affective disorders

To test the convergence and divergence of antidepressant- and psychotherapy-evoked neural changes, and their overlap with the brain’s affect network

119
Q

Describe the methods of Nord et al.’s study investigating neural changes following antidepressant treatment versus psychological therapy for affective disorders

A

120
Q

Describe the findings of Nord et al.’s study investigating neural changes following antidepressant treatment versus psychological therapy for affective disorders

A

Reduces levels of negative emotional experience

126
Q

True or False?

Treatments for anxiety and mood-related conditions lead to changes in the emotion network and all mechanisms are the same

A

False

Treatments for anxiety and mood-related conditions lead to changes in the emotion network but the mechanisms are different

127
Q

What are the 5 parts of the valuation systems (appraisal/evaluation stage of emotion regulation) that are involved in the Neural Basis of Emotion Regulation?

A
  • Dorsal mPFC (conceptual/belief-desire descriptions of value)
  • Rostral mPFC (attending to and judging value)
  • Ventral mPFC (value of stimulus in current context)
  • Ventral Striatum (reward/reinforcement value)
  • Amygdala (arousal/threat value of stimulus)
128
Q

What are the 5 parts of the regulation/control systems that are involved in the Neural Basis of Emotion Regulation?

A
  • Dorsal ACC (conflicting monitoring)
  • Dorsal posterior mPFC (selective attention/working memory)
  • Dorsolateral PFC (selective attention/working memory)
  • Inferior Parietal (selective attention/working memory)
  • Ventrolateral PFC (selection/inhibition)
129
Q

What is the role of the regulation/control systems in emotion regulation? List 3 roles

A

1) Monitoring conflicts between the desired state and the actual state

2) Thinking about the different emotion regulation strategies we have access to and which would be best applied to reach a particular goal

3) Generating context-appropriate responses

130
Q

What is the role of the valuation systems in emotion regulation? List 2 roles

A

Evaluate the situation or stimuli given goals, context and prior experiences (appraisal/evaluation stage in emotion regulation process)

Q

Is Amygdala involved in the valuation systems or regulation/control systems?

A

141
Q

Which regions of the brain are active during cognitive appraisal in emotion regulation?

A
  • Amygdala
  • PFC
  • Dorsal medial PFC
  • Dorsal lateral PFC
  • Medial PFC
  • Ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC)
  • Dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC)
142
Q

Define a Meta-analysis

A

Using a statistical technique to summarise info from lots of different studies to create an overarching overview

The overview has a lot more power than each individual study, often with small sample sizes

143
Q

According to a Meta-analysis of Emotion Regulation in the Brain, which parts of the brain are active during reappraisal?

A
  • Middle and Inferior frontal gyrus
  • Cingulate gyrus
  • Insular
  • Superior, Temporal and Super marginal gyrus
144
Q

What is the drawback of a Meta-analysis study of Emotion Regulation in the Brain?

A

You lose the specificity of the particular emotion regulation task you’re looking at

Some regions are only activated during particular emotion regulation strategies and won’t show up in the wider picture if you’re looking at lots of different strategies together

145
Q

What were the results of meta-analysis studies investigating Emotion Dysregulation measured in brain activity? List 2 results

A

1) People with mood and anxiety conditions recruited the regulatory network to a lesser extent than people who did not have mood and anxiety-diagnosed conditions

2) People with mood and anxiety conditions experienced an increase in activation in regions associated with emotional experience and in regions that help compensate for emotion regulation

146
Q

People with mood and anxiety conditions recruited the regulatory network to a lesser extent than people who did not have mood and anxiety-diagnosed conditions

What does this suggest?

A

The regulation network does not work as well for people with mood and anxiety conditions

147
Q

People with mood and anxiety conditions experienced an increase in activation in regions associated with emotional experience and in regions that help compensate for emotion regulation

What does this suggest?

A

There are 2 different ways in which the networks involved in emotion regulation might be different for people with mood and anxiety disorders compared to people without disorders

Shows there’s more than one way to explain why a person with depression or anxiety can respond to a particular situation

148
Q

c. Down-regulating negative emotions
d. Up-regulating positive emotions

A

Adolescence (12-25 years old)

151
Q

How are discrepancies identified according to the process model of emotion regulation?

A

One’s state in which they would like to be in is compared with the state they are currently in (discrepancy between current state and goal state)
