The Structure And Emotional Regulating Function Of Cognitive And Re - Evaluation Of Emotional Adjustment

Cognitive reappraisal refers to the change of understanding of emotional events and perception of the significance of personal emotional events (Gross,2001). Study1developed the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire of Cognitive Reappraisal, and examined its reliability and validity. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (188subjects for preliminary test and497subjects for formal test) indicates that cognitive reappraisal can be divided into four factors which including positive reappraisal, negative reappraisal, involved reappraisal and detached reappraisal, the indices of fit of self-made questionnaire is ideal, indicating that the questionnaire has a good construct validity; Positive reappraisal has a significant positive correlation with life satisfaction and positive emotion, a significant negative correlation with negative emotion and neuroticism; Positive reappraisal and detached reappraisal have a significant positive correlation with extraversion, while negative reappraisal and involved reappraisal have a significant positive correlation with negative emotions, a significant negative correlation with extraversion and a significant positive correlation with neuroticism, indicating that the self-made questionnaire has a good criterion validity; The coefficient of internal consistency of positive reappraisal, negative reappraisal, involved reappraisal and detached reappraisal is0.734,0.779、0.762and0.739, respectively, all of them meet the requirements of psychometrics, indicating that the self-made questionnaire has a good reliability. Study2compares differences of positive reappraisal and detached reappraisal in the regulation of negative emotion in fourth. Use2(Gender:male, female) x2(Reappraisal type:positive reappraisal, detached reappraisal)x2(Watch mode:natural watch, reappraisal watch) x2(Emotional type:sadness, fear) mixed experimental design, gender and reappraisal type as the between group variables, watch mode and emotional type as the within group variables, comparing the differences of these factors on subjective emotional experience report (including the overall valence, overall emotional intensity and target negative emotional intensity) and physiological responses (heart rate, skin conductance level) on.The results showed that:(1) Self designed cognitive reappraisal questionnaire has good reliability and validity, and meets the psychometric standards; (2) The cognitive reappraisal is a four-factor model, including four types which are positive reappraisal, negative reappraisal, involved reappraisal and detached reappraisal;(3) Positive reappraisal and detached reappraisal can effectively increase the valence of negative emotion, and effectively reduce the intensity of target negative emotion;(4) Reappraisal watching can significantly reduce the overall emotional intensity, and the regulation of sadness is better than the regulation of fear for women;(5) Males were isolated reappraisal fear emotions of sadness regulation titer titer more effectively, while no matter detached reappraisal or positive reappraisal, women can make higher valence of fears than the valence of sadness.(6) Reappraisal can significantly reduce heart rate, and detached reappraisal can reduce more heart rate than positive reappraisal.
