虽然情绪本身对我们的生存是有益的，但它们也是需要适当调节以适应社会环境的目标。已有研究表明，认知重评和表达抑制等认知策略可以有效地增强和减弱情绪。这种情绪调节的认知策略是基于皮层下情绪相关脑区的皮层调制。虽然在以往的研究中，情绪调节是在情绪诱发的同时或之后进行的，但我们的一系列研究表明，先前的认知活动可以自动地和无意地减弱随后的情绪反应。在这篇文章中，在回顾了以前的研究结果的情绪调节，我们介绍了我们的实证研究结果表明，认知活动的情绪调节神经系统将被招募可以无意中和自动抑制心理和生理的情绪反应。最后，我们提出了可能的神经机制调制的情绪认知活动。
While emotions themselves are beneficial for our survival, they are also the targets to be regulated appropriately to adapt to social environments. Previous studies have demonstrated that cognitive strategies such as cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression can effectively enhance and attenuate emotions. Such cognitive strategies of emotion regulation are based on cortical modulation of sub-cortical emotion-related brain regions. Though in the prior studies emotion regulation was conducted in parallel with or after the emotion elicitation, a series of our studies showed that prior cognitive activities can automatically and unintentionally attenuate subsequent emotional responses. In this article, after reviewing the previous findings about emotion regulation, we introduce our empirical findings showing that cognitive activities where the neural system of emotion regulation would be recruited can unintentionally and automatically dampen psychological and physiological emotional responses. Finally, we propose possible neural mechanisms underlying modulation of emotion by cognitive activity.
