Regulation And Attention Mechanism Of Interpersonal Emotions

People often use social resource to regulate individual emotion.This method is called interpersonal emotional regulation.It involves trying to influence and regulate the emotion of others,as well as regulating one's own emotion through interpersonal interaction.Previous studies have shown that interpersonal emotion regulation contributes to the successful regulation of positive emotion and has an important impact on the attention pattern and cognitive processing of emotional information.On the basis of previous studies,this study intends to explore the relationship between interpersonal emotion regulation and positive emotion,as well as the attention mechanism of interpersonal emotion recognition and perceptual aftereffect in college students.Firstly,questionnaire survey was used to investigate the relationship between interpersonal emotional regulation and implicit and explicit positive emotion,and to explore the specific influence mechanism of interpersonal emotional regulation on implicit and explicit positive emotion at the psychological measurement level.In study 1,the Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Questionnaire,Expression Suppression Scale,Difficult Emotion Regulation Scale,implicit positive affect and positive affect schedule were used to construct models.And then explore interpersonal emotion regulation of the effect of positive emotion from two aspects of implicit and explicit positive emotion,as well as the mediating effect of expression suppression and the moderating effect of emotion regulation difficulty.Then,the attentional processing mechanism of interpersonal emotion was investigated experimentally by eye movement research.In study 2,the dual-choice Oddball paradigm was used to investigate the characteristics of the attention pattern of interpersonal emotional face recognition.In order to further reveal the perceptual human emotional faces attention to cognitive tasks,study 3 used the Go/No Go emotion Oddball paradigm,after the consciousness of self-other emotional face,different difficult pattern recognition task,inspection interpersonal emotion of a continued after effect of the processing as well as the influence on cognitive tasks,to further explore the attention of the self-other emotion face processing mechanism.The results show that:(1)Interpersonal emotional regulation has significant positive effect on both implicit and explicit positive emotion,but it is relatively separate in the mechanism of action.The regulation effect of emotion regulation difficulty on interpersonal emotion regulation and implicit positive emotion regulation is significant,and the expression suppression has a partial mediating effect on this regulation effect.The expression suppression is the mediating variable between interpersonal emotion regulation and explicit positive emotion,and emotion regulation difficulty has a moderating effect on this mediating effect.(2)The reaction speed of others' angry face recognition was faster than that of selfangry face and others' happy face,and the total gaze time and gaze times of self-happy face were higher than that of others' emotion face.It shows that the negative emotional faces of others activate the self-threat information of individual,and then show the attention vigilance to the negative emotional faces of others.The self-positive emotion face enhanced the self-positive concept of the individual,and then showed the attention bias to the self-positive emotion face.(3)Under different emotional types,there is no significant difference in the eyemovement gaze pattern of individual exploring the key features of self-others' face,which indicates that there is a certain overlap between self-others' representations and proves the sharing of self-others' representations.(4)When completing simple task,there was no significant difference in judging the response of the target stimulus under the condition of the emotion face priming of self and others,and the number of gazes of the target stimulus under the condition of the emotional face priming of self and others was higher than that of the emotional face priming of others.This suggests that the self-emotional face priming stimulus has a prolonging effect on the cognitive processing of simple tasks,but it does not show a inhibitory effect.(5)When completing the difficult task,the response time of judging the target stimulus under the condition of others' emotional face activation was longer than that under the condition of others' angry face activation,and the total fixation time and fixation times of judging the target stimulus under the condition of others' angry face activation were higher than that under other emotional face activation conditions.The results showed that the self-priming stimulus promoted the cognitive processing of the difficult task,while the angry faces of others showed the continuous occupation of attention cognitive resources and the inhibition of the cognitive processing of the difficult task.To sum up,in terms of the regulation mechanism of interpersonal emotion,interpersonal emotion regulation is an important strategy for the successful regulation of implicit and explicit positive emotion.Appropriate expression suppression helps individual to obtain better benefits of emotional regulation from interpersonal regulation,and weakens the negative impact of regulation difficulties.In terms of the attention mechanism of interpersonal emotion,the processing mode of self-others' emotion attention has both specificity and sharing,and has a lasting after-effect,which indicates that regulating self-emotion through others is an effective way to regulate.
