A Research On Influences Of Cognitive Reappraisal,Expression Suppression And Acceptance On State Anxiety

State anxiety is closely related to our life,and it is an important indicator of mental health.Some researchers pointed out that college students' self regulation and emotional control ability is not mature enough,so it is necessary to study on how to regulate and buffer state anxiety.The purpose of this study is to explore the different effects of the traditional cognitive reappraisal,expression suppression and acceptance strategies on two levels of consciousness.Firstly,to evaluate the effectiveness of induced anxiety in laboratory,we refer to foreign extemporaneous speech paradigm.we recruit students in a university in Shanxi,ask everyone to complete the state trait anxiety questionnaire,selected 38 students around the three controversial topic of impromptu speech,and scores on state anxiety during his speech.The results showed that there was a significant difference in the level of state anxiety before and after the test,which indicated that the impromptu speech task evoked the emotion successfully,which provided a good foundation for the formal study.Secondly,to explore the influence of cognitive reappraisal,expression suppression and acceptance on the state anxiety of consciousness and automatic level,In Shanxi,a total of 181 college students were randomly divided into two groups: cognitive reappraisal group,expression suppression group and acceptance group,Through instruction paradigm participants induced three strategies on level of consciousness,and through the sentence sorting task paradigm participants induced three strategies of automatic level,observation and test anxiety level to take a different mood in the impromptu speech under the state after adjusting strategy.The results showed that cognitive reappraisal state anxiety score was significantly lower than the experimental group stage expression suppression group and acceptance group,state anxiety score was significantly lower than that in the stage ofcognitive reappraisal and expression suppression group,and three kinds of emotion regulation strategies of automatic level of state anxiety scores were significantly lower than the level of consciousness.Conclusion:(1)Regardless of the level of consciousness or automatic,cognitive reappraisal of state anxiety was significantly higher than the control effect of admission and inhibition of expression,which is the best effect on the recovery of induced state anxiety;(2)Compared with cognitive reappraisal and acceptance,inhibition of expression is not an adaptive strategy;(3)The level of emotion regulation strategy is more effective than the level of consciousness.
