PSY331H1 Chapter Notes - Chapter 8: Philip David Zelazo, Expressive Suppression, Interstimulus Interval
Document Summary
Effects of emotion regulation on concurrent attentional performance. Catherine n. m. ortner, philip david zelazo, and adam k. anderson- Both viewing emotional stimuli and regulating one"s emotions using either reappraisal or suppression draw upon common attentional resources, but only suppression results in the distinct cost of maintaining the effects of negative emotion. Expression suppression is a behavioral strategy that involves inhibiting outward displays of emotion: suppression need not just focus on behavioral outputs, individuals can reduce their feelings through thought suppression. Emotion regulation strategies, such as suppression, that do not modify one"s appraisal of an event"s significance may have potentially detrimental consequences for well-being, physiology, and cognition. Expressive suppression reduces explicit recall of details of emotionally evocative slides. Also impairs recall of information presented simultaneously with emotion- eliciting slides and of non-emotional material that was studied in preparation for an evaluated speaking task. Reappraisal occurs early in the emotion generative process, and so does not affect later encoding into long-term memory.
