Abnormal activations of the ventral medial prefrontal cortex （vMPFC） during emotional tasks have been demonstrated in schizophrenia, suggesting its important role in emotion processing in patients. We used the resting-state functional connectivity approach, setting a functionally relevant region, the vMPFC, as a seed region to examine the intrinsic functional interactions and communication between the vMPFC and other brain regions in schizophrenic patients. We found hypo-connectivity between the vMPFC and the medial frontal cortex, right middle temporal lobe （MTL）, right hippocampus, parahippocampal cortex （PHC） and amygdala. Further, there was a decreased strength of the negative connectivity （or anticorrelation） between the vMPFC and the bilateral dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex （DLPFC） and pre-supplementary motor areas. Among these connectivity alterations, reduced vMPFC-DLPFC connectivity was positively correlated with positive symptoms on the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale, while vMPFC-right MTL/PHC/amygdala functional connectivity was positively correlated with the performance of emotional regulation in patients. These findings imply that communication and coordination throughout the brain networks are disrupted in schizophrenia. The emotional correlates of vMPFC connectivity suggest a role of the hypo-connectivity between these regions in the neuropathology of abnormal social cognition in chronic schizophrenia.展开更多

The distress experienced by many veterans of the Vietnam War and their partners prompted a strong interest in developing conjoint interventions that could both alleviate the core symptoms of PTSD and strengthen family bonds. We review the evolution of and evidence base for conjoint PTSD treatments from the Vietnam era through the post-911 era. Our review is particularly focused on the use of treatment strategies that are designed to address the emotions that are generated by the core symptoms of the disorder to reduce their adverse impact on veterans, their partners and the relationship. We present a rationale and evidence to support the direct incorporation of emotion-regulation skills training into conjoint interventions for PTSD. We begin by reviewing emerging evidence suggesting that high levels of emotion dysregulation are characteristic of and predict the severity of both PTSD symptoms and the level of interpersonal/marital difficulties reported by veterans with PTSD and their family members. In doing so, we present a compelling rationale for the inclusion of formal skills training in emotional regulation in couple–/family-based PTSD treatments. We further argue that increased exposure to trauma-related memories and emotions in treatments based on learning theory requires veterans and their partners to learn to manage the uncomfortable emotions that they previously avoided. Conjoint treatments that were developed in the last 30 years all acknowledge the importance of emotions in PTSD but vary widely in their relative emphasis on helping participants to acquire strategies to modulate them compared to other therapeutic tasks such as learning about the disorder or disclosing the trauma to a loved one. We conclude our review by describing two recent innovative treatments for PTSD that incorporate a special emphasis on emotion-regulation skills training in the dyadic context: structured approach therapy(SAT) and multi-family group for military couples(MFG-MC). Although the incorporation of emotion-regulation skills into conjoint PTSD therapies appears promising, replication and comparison to cognitive-behavioral approaches is needed to refine our understanding of which symptoms and veterans might be more responsive to one approach versus others.展开更多
文摘BACKGROUND The prevalence of negative emotional states,such as anxiety and depression,has increased annually.Although personal habits are known to influence emotional regulation,the precise mechanisms underlying this relationship remain unclear.AIM To investigate emotion regulation habits impact on students negative emotions during lockdown,using the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic as a case example.METHODS During the coronavirus disease 2019 lockdown,an online cross-sectional survey was conducted at a Chinese university.Emotional states were assessed using the Depression,Anxiety,and Stress Scale-21(DASS-21),while demographic data and emotion regulation habits were collected concurrently.Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 27.0 and includedχ^(2)-tests for intergroup comparisons,Spearman’s rank-order correlation coefficient analysis to examine associations,and stepwise linear regression modeling to explore the relationships between emotion regulation habits and emotional states.Statistical significance was set atα=0.05.RESULTS Among the 494 valid questionnaires analyzed,the prevalence rates of negative emotional states were as follows:Depression(65.0%),anxiety(69.4%),and stress(50.8%).DASS-21 scores(mean±SD)demonstrated significant symptomatology:Total(48.77±34.88),depression(16.21±12.18),anxiety(14.90±11.91),and stress(17.64±12.07).Significant positive intercorrelations were observed among all DASS-21 subscales(P<0.01).Regression analysis identified key predictors of negative emotions(P<0.05):Risk factors included late-night frequency and academic pressure,while protective factors were the frequency of parental contact and the number of same-gender friends.Additionally,compensatory spending and binge eating positively predicted all negative emotion scores(β>0,P<0.01),whereas appropriate recreational activities negatively predicted these scores(β<0,P<0.01).CONCLUSION High negative emotion prevalence occurred among confined students.Recreational activities were protective,while compensatory spending and binge eating were risk factors,necessitating guided emotion regulation.
文摘Background:Maternal mental health literacy is a cognitive resource that may support preschoolers’emotional development,yet its influence on emotional regulation and the related mechanisms remains unclear.This study examined whether maternal depressive mood and democratic parenting form a chain pathway linking maternal mental health literacy to preschoolers’emotional regulation ability.Methods:Mothers of 544 preschoolers in China’s Mainland completed an online questionnaire that assessed maternal mental health literacy,depressive mood,democratic parenting,and child emotional regulation.Structural path analysis was conducted with child age and gender controlled.Indirect effects were tested using 5000 bootstrap samples.Results:Maternal mental health literacy did not directly predict preschoolers’emotional regulation.Three indirect effects were significant.The pathway through depressive mood had an effect of 0.005,the pathway through democratic parenting had an effect of 0.004,and the chain pathway through depressive mood and democratic parenting had an effect of 0.002.All confidence intervals excluded 0.Conclusion:Maternal mental health literacy influences preschoolers’emotional regulation only through maternal depressive mood and democratic parenting,indicating that cognitive resources affect child emotional outcomes through emotional and behavioral processes rather than a direct pathway.

文摘Background:Understanding the factors that influence adolescent psychological resilience is critical for promoting mental health.This study explores the impact and mechanism of labor values on adolescent psychological resilience from the perspective of emotion regulation theory.Methods:This study conducted an in-depth analysis using the Labor Value Scale on 2691 elementary school upper-grade students,middle school students,and high school students.Results:The results show that:(1)labor values can positively predict adolescents’mental resilience;(2)cognitive reappraisal and expression inhibition play a partial mediating role in the relationship between labor values and adolescents’psychological resilience.Among them,labor values can positively predict adolescents’mental resilience through positive cognitive reappraisal,and labor values can also predict adolescents’mental resilience through expression inhibition.Conclusion:Based on the theory of emotion regulation,this study explores the direct effect of labor values on mental resilience and the mediating effect of different strategies of emotion regulation.The results of this study provide a theoretical basis for improving the mental resilience of adolescents.
文摘BACKGROUND Autism spectrum disorder(ASD)is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by difficulties in social communication,restricted interests,and repetitive stereotyped behaviors.In recent years,the prevalence of ASD has continued to rise,with boys having a significantly higher incidence rate than girls.Children with ASD often have intellectual and language impairments,which seriously affect their social skills,emotional regulation,and daily life.Although traditional treatment methods have shown some effectiveness,they still have limitations in addressing social and emotional regulation.Neurobiofeedback therapy is a noninvasive,drug-free treatment method that helps individuals regulate physiological responses through feedback mechanisms,and it has shown potential in various psychological disorders and emotional regulation.However,there is limited research on the social skills and emotional regulation in children with ASD.Therefore,this study aims to explore the impact of neurobiofeedback technology on children with ASD through a retrospective cohort study,supplementing existing treatment methods and promoting a more comprehensive treatment of ASD.AIM To investigate the effects of neurobiofeedback therapy on social skills and emotional regulation in children with ASD.METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on 92 children with ASD who were admitted to our hospital from January 2023 to June 2024.According to their different trea-tment plans,they were divided into a conventional group(conventional rehabilitation treatment;n=43)and a combined group(conventional rehabilitation treatment combined with neurobiofeedback therapy;n=49).The general characteristics,Aberrant Behavior Checklist scores,Chinese version of the Psycho-Educational Profile,Third Edition scores,Social Responsiveness Scale scores,Emotion Regulation Checklist scores,Social Communication Questionnaire scores,and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between groups.RESULTS After intervention,the Aberrant Behavior Checklist and Social Responsiveness Scale scores of the combined group were lower than those of the conventional group.In contrast,scores on the Chinese version of the Psycho-Educational Profile,Third Edition,Emotion Regulation Checklist,and Social Communication Questionnaire were significantly higher in the combined group than in the conventional group(all P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups.CONCLUSION Neurobiofeedback therapy can effectively improve clinical symptoms,emotional regulation,and social skills in children with ASD.

文摘Although numerousfindings show that people experience both positive and negative experiences with regards to solitude,the relationship between solitude capacity and emotional experience remains unclear.The current study investigated the extent to which emotion regulation may play a suppressive role in the relationship between solitude capacity and emotional experience.Questionnaires on solitude capacity,emotion regulation,and emotional experience were completed by a sample of Chinese college students(n=844;432 females;Meanage=19.79 years,SD=1.43 years).The results of the indirect effect test showed that cognitive reappraisal suppresses the prediction of solitude capacity on positive emotions,while the solitude capacity prediction of negative emotions was suppressed by both cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression.This suggests that solitude capacity does not predict emotional experience directly,but instead is realized through an antagonistic system consisting of adaptive and nonadaptive emotion regulation strategies.Thesefindings provide cross-sectional empirical support for the ecological niche hypothesis of solitude,and are of theoretical significance in clarifying the role of internal mechanisms of solitude capacity on the human emotional experience.

文摘People with schizophrenia exhibit impaired social cognitive functions, particularly emotion regulation. Abnormal activations of the ventral medial prefrontal cortex （vMPFC） during emotional tasks have been demonstrated in schizophrenia, suggesting its important role in emotion processing in patients. We used the resting-state functional connectivity approach, setting a functionally relevant region, the vMPFC, as a seed region to examine the intrinsic functional interactions and communication between the vMPFC and other brain regions in schizophrenic patients. We found hypo-connectivity between the vMPFC and the medial frontal cortex, right middle temporal lobe （MTL）, right hippocampus, parahippocampal cortex （PHC） and amygdala. Further, there was a decreased strength of the negative connectivity （or anticorrelation） between the vMPFC and the bilateral dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex （DLPFC） and pre-supplementary motor areas. Among these connectivity alterations, reduced vMPFC-DLPFC connectivity was positively correlated with positive symptoms on the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale, while vMPFC-right MTL/PHC/amygdala functional connectivity was positively correlated with the performance of emotional regulation in patients. These findings imply that communication and coordination throughout the brain networks are disrupted in schizophrenia. The emotional correlates of vMPFC connectivity suggest a role of the hypo-connectivity between these regions in the neuropathology of abnormal social cognition in chronic schizophrenia.

文摘Major depressive disorder(MDD)is characterized by emotion dysregulation.Whether implicit emotion regulation can compensate for this deficit remains unknown.In this study,we recruited 159 subjects who were healthy controls,had subclinical depression,or had MDD,and examined them under baseline,implicit,and explicit reappraisal conditions.Explicit reappraisal led to the most negative feelings and the largest parietal late positive potential(parietal LPP,an index of emotion intensity)in the MDD group compared to the other two groups;the group difference was absent under the other two conditions.MDD patients showed larger regulatory effects in the LPP during implicit than explicit reappraisal,whereas healthy controls showed a reversed pattern.Furthermore,the frontal P3,an index of voluntary cognitive control,showed larger amplitudes in explicit reappraisal compared to baseline in the healthy and subclinical groups,but not in the MDD group,while implicit reappraisal did not increase P3 across groups.These findings suggest that implicit reappraisal is beneficial for clinical depression.

文摘In order to use mathematical methods to study how cognitive reappraisal strategies affect the output state of emotions,Gross's cognitive reappraisal strategy is transformed into a quantitative parameter which is proposed to describe the general perception of emotional events on the basis of the emotion regulation.According to Gross's emotional regulation model,the Finite State Machine(FSM) model is used for describing the process of emotional state transition and the Likert 5 grading scale is introduced to study the level of an individual's reappraisal according to the participant's self-evaluation.The experimental results verify that the algorithm can effectively describe the relationship between the reappraisal strategy,emotional events and an emotiongenerative process.There are multiple dimensions of a human's emotional state.Thus,in the field of human-computer interaction,further research requires the development of a specific algorithm which can be implemented by a computer for the emotion regulation process.

文摘Evidence suggests that explicit reappraisal has limited regulatory effects on high-intensity emotions,mainly due to the depletion of cognitive resources occupied by the high-intensity emotional stimulus itself.The implicit form of reappraisal has proved to be resource-saving and therefore might be an ideal strategy to achieve the desired regulatory effect in high-intensity situations.In this study,we explored the regulatory effect of explicit and implicit reappraisal when participants encountered low-and high-intensity negative images.The subjective emotional rating indicated that both explicit and implicit reappraisal down-regulated negative experiences,irrespective of intensity.However,the amplitude of the parietal late positive potential(LPP;a neural index of experienced emotional intensity)showed that only implicit reappraisal had significant regulatory effects in the high-intensity context,though both explicit and implicit reappraisal successfully reduced the emotional neural responses elicited by low-intensity negative images.Meanwhile,implicit reappraisal led to a smaller frontal LPP amplitude(an index of cognitive cost)compared to explicit reappraisal,indicating that the implementation of implicit reappraisal consumes limited cognitive control resources.Furthermore,we found a prolonged effect of implicit emotion regulation introduced by training procedures.Taken together,these findings not only reveal that implicit reappraisal is suitable to relieve high-intensity negative experiences as well as neural responses,but also highlight the potential benefit of trained implicit regulation in clinical populations whose frontal control resources are limited.

文摘To explore the appropriate exercise methods and means for astronauts in confined and small isolation conditions,a set of XunTian Tai Chi suitable for the spaceflight workforce was created,with the aim of discovering the practical effects of XunTian Tai Chi and providing a scientific basis for the subsequent development of new astronaut health maintenance techniques with Chinese characteristics.Using the Controlled Ecological Life Support System(CELSS)as a research platform,we observed the changes in a crew member’s emotion regulationrelated indexes during 180 days of working and living in a confined isolation chamber through periodic interventions of the XunTian Tai Chi and conducted statistical analyses.During the 180-day cabin mission,expression suppression,cognitive reappraisal,attention index,and relaxation index were all lower than those before entering the cabin,suggesting that the crew member’s emotion regulation ability decreased during the incabin mission.A single Tai Chi exercise could cause favorable changes in the indicators,positively affecting the crew member's emotional regulation.The attention and relaxation indices of the occupants were improved significantly by both single and periodic Tai Chi exercises.After the Tai Chi exercise cycle,the results of each index showed a certain degree of effect.The 180-day ground-based simulation of Tai Chi in the confinement of a space capsule positively affects the occupant’s emotional regulation.

文摘BACKGROUND The coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)pandemic has been an emotionally challenging time,especially for young adults.It is associated with a substantial increase in the prevalence of mental health problems,negative symptoms,and stressful experiences that compromise well-being.In low-income countries,internet-delivered psychological services could have a remarkable impact on the population’s mental health,given the lack of mental health professionals.AIM To investigate the efficacy of internet-delivered cognitive-behavior therapy(CBT)-transdiagnostic intervention for adults with emotional disorders.METHODS In this internet-delivered randomized controlled trial,102 students with an emotional disorder(mean age=28.20 years,standard deviation=5.07)were randomly allocated to receive unified protocol(UP)(n=51)or treatment as the usual intervention.Following a semi-structured clinical interview,participants completed an online survey including the Overall Anxiety Severity and Impairment Scale,Overall Depression Severity and Impairment Scale,Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale,Positive and Negative Affect Schedule,and Emotional Style Questionnaire.RESULTS The participants showed a high degree of adherence.In total,78%(n=40)of the experimental group participants completed the UP treatment.Considering the intention to treat procedure,the results of the analysis of covariance indicated that participants who received UP showed statistically significant changes in depression symptoms[Cohen’s d=-1.50 with 95%confidence interval(CI):-1.90 to-1.10],anxiety(Cohen’s d=-1.06 with 95%CI:-1.48 to-0.65),difficulties with emotion regulation(Cohen’s d=-0.33 with 95%CI:-0.7 to-0.06),positive affect(Cohen's d=1.27 with 95%CI:0.85 to 1.68),negative affect(Cohen’s d=-1.04 with 95%CI:-1.46 to-0.63),and healthy emotionality(Cohen’s d=0.53 with 95%CI:0.09 to 0.13)compared with the control group.CONCLUSION This study’s findings highlight the potential value of transdiagnostic internet-delivered programs for young adults with an emotional disorder during the COVID-19 pandemic,and expand the research examining emotional well-being improvements resulting from CBT-transdiagnostic interventions.The findings suggest that UP,which generally concentrates on reducing negative effects,can increase positive effects.
文摘Post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD) is a disabling, potentially chronic disorder that is characterized by re-experience and hyperarousal symptoms as well as the avoidance of trauma-related stimuli. The distress experienced by many veterans of the Vietnam War and their partners prompted a strong interest in developing conjoint interventions that could both alleviate the core symptoms of PTSD and strengthen family bonds. We review the evolution of and evidence base for conjoint PTSD treatments from the Vietnam era through the post-911 era. Our review is particularly focused on the use of treatment strategies that are designed to address the emotions that are generated by the core symptoms of the disorder to reduce their adverse impact on veterans, their partners and the relationship. We present a rationale and evidence to support the direct incorporation of emotion-regulation skills training into conjoint interventions for PTSD. We begin by reviewing emerging evidence suggesting that high levels of emotion dysregulation are characteristic of and predict the severity of both PTSD symptoms and the level of interpersonal/marital difficulties reported by veterans with PTSD and their family members. In doing so, we present a compelling rationale for the inclusion of formal skills training in emotional regulation in couple–/family-based PTSD treatments. We further argue that increased exposure to trauma-related memories and emotions in treatments based on learning theory requires veterans and their partners to learn to manage the uncomfortable emotions that they previously avoided. Conjoint treatments that were developed in the last 30 years all acknowledge the importance of emotions in PTSD but vary widely in their relative emphasis on helping participants to acquire strategies to modulate them compared to other therapeutic tasks such as learning about the disorder or disclosing the trauma to a loved one. We conclude our review by describing two recent innovative treatments for PTSD that incorporate a special emphasis on emotion-regulation skills training in the dyadic context: structured approach therapy(SAT) and multi-family group for military couples(MFG-MC). Although the incorporation of emotion-regulation skills into conjoint PTSD therapies appears promising, replication and comparison to cognitive-behavioral approaches is needed to refine our understanding of which symptoms and veterans might be more responsive to one approach versus others.
