Q

Give the definition of cognitive restructuring

A

How thoughts about emotional events shape reactions
e.g. Adding new information may change how an image is perceived, which may change one’s thoughts and feelings

Q

What are the three different types of strategies one can choose when doing the reappraisal task?

A

Increase, decrease and attend.
(1) Increase
-Imagine themselves or a loved one experiencing the situation being depicted
-Imagine a more extreme outcome than the one depicted
(2) Decrease
-View the situation as fake or unreal
-Imagine that the situation being depicted has a different outcome than the one suggested
(3)Attend
-Maintain their attention to the picture without changing their negative affective experience

22
Q

What is the inferior parietal cortex responsible for?

A

Attention and working memory

23
Q

What is the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex responsible for?

A

Left: Controlled retrieval of semantic and episodic memory
Right: Response selection/ inhibition

24
Q

What is the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex responsible for?

A

Attention and working memory

25
Q

What is the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex responsible for?

A

(1) Response selection/ inhibition
(2) Conflict monitoring

26
Q

Give a brief definition of affect labeling

A

Explicit naming of an emotion

27
Q

What is the effect of affect labeling having on affective evaluation of both negative and positive stimuli?

A

Affect labeling reduce the affective evaluation of both negative and positive stimuli

28
Q

What is the effect of concentrating and cognitively elaborating on an emotion have on the emotion regulation outcome?

A

It fails to reduce and may even increase that emotion

29
Q

According to the study in the compulsory reading, participants who write about emotional events showed a working memory improvement or decrease?

A

Improvement

30
Q

Cognitive change strategies are also called what?

A

Reappraisals

31
Q

Give a brief definition for cognitive change

A

Cognitive operations that change the way individuals think about an emotional event or experience

32
Q

Give a brief definition of cognitive restructuring.

A

Using complex instruction that provide new information and additionally tap into the participants’ imagination

33
Q

Strategies involve the enhancement or suppression of one or more aspects of an emotion are referred to as what?

A

As response modulation

34
Q

What does antecedent-focused emotion regulation mean?

A

Attempts to subdue an emotion before or while that emotion is being elicited

35
Q

What does response-focused emotion regulation mean?

A

Attempts to subdue an emotion after that emotion was elicited and is directed at the output processes of a putative emotion system

36
Q

Attentional deployment and cognitive change belong to which type of strategy, antecedent-focused emotion regulation or response-focused emotion regulation?

A

Antecedent-focused strategies

37
Q

Response modulation belongs to which type of strategy, antecedent-focused emotion regulation or response-focused emotion regulation?

A

Response-focused emotion regulation

38
Q

Attentional deployment strategies are more effective for weak or strong emotions?

A

Weak emotions

39
Q

For strong emotions, what strategies can we use?

A

Cognitive engagement and restructuring

40
Q

What does sentience mean?

A

The ability to apprehend one’s own mental and bodily states

41
Q

How is sentience measured?

A

The difference between a participant’s perceived and actual heartbeat

42
Q

The amygdala typically becomes more active or less active when participants engage in attentional deployment, cognitive change, or response modulation?

A

Less active

43
Q

The control process of inhibiting amygdala is initiated by which brain lobe?

A

Frontal lobe

44
Q

What mental disorder symptoms are positively associated with the self-reported use of attentional deployment (e.g. distraction, rumination) and response modulation strategies (e.g. suppression of expression and thought)?

A

MDD

45
Q

What strategies are negatively associated with MDD symptoms?

A

Cognitive change strategies (e.g. mindfulness, reappraisal)

46
Q

In thought suppression, one thought must be replaced by another, or it can be singly reduced?

A

One thought must be replaced by another

47
Q

What problem may the broadness of the definition of emotion regulation caused?

A

(1) It fails to demarcate differences between emotion regulation and other mental and behavioral processes. Thus, any process that is not an emotion could potentially be regulatory strategy

(2) It fails to demarcate what distinguishes emotion regulation from the processes that evoke an emotion in the first place, it simply assumes that such a distinction exists

48
Q

What plays a central role in emotion regulation research?

A

Strategy

*: Typically, participants are instructed to engage in a certain regulation strategy, which is then compared against another strategy and/or a control condition

49
Q

Such comparison can be problematic for a number of reasons, please briefly indicate them.

A

(1) Researchers may fail to ensure that a chosen regulatory strategy is sufficiently dissociable from other
strategies.
(2) Researchers have not yet established a standard control condition against which emotion regulation
efforts can be measured.
(3) (perhaps most important) Researchers have at present no means to ensure whether participants
comply with the regulation instructions

50
Q

Working memory and sentience are examples of natural inclinations or personal characteristic s that affect emotion regulation?

A

Natural inclinations

51
Q

Which part of the brain is responsible for conflict monitoring?

A

Rostral ACC

52
Q

What result can support that conflict monitoring indeed happens?

A

Incongruent > Congruent
Incongruent > Neutral

53
Q

Which part of the brain is responsible for response inhibition?

A

Ventral lateral prefrontal cortex

54
Q

What result can support that response inhibition indeed happens?

A

Nogo > Congruent, Nogo > Neutral
