与严重依赖前额皮质（PFC）自上而下控制功能的认知调节策略不同，最近发现前额皮质（PFC）在压力情况下可能会严重受损，而中国传统哲学和医学将不同类型的情绪视为相互促进和抵消（MPMC）关系，这意味着一种需要较少认知的情绪调节新方法。事实上，我们之前的研究表明，愤怒反应可以通过悲伤的诱导来成功调节，并且这种效率不受压力的影响，从而为MPMC情绪理论提出的“悲伤抵消愤怒”（SCA）的假设提供了证据（Zhan等，2015，2017）。在这项研究中，我们通过实验检验了 MPMC 假设“愤怒抵消沉思”（ACR），该假设假设愤怒情绪可能会减轻沉思。在研究1中，所有参与者首先被引发沉思状态，然后引发愤怒、喜悦或中性情绪，结果显示，与引发喜悦或中性情绪后相比，引发愤怒后沉思相关的影响有所减轻。在研究2中，招募了具有高特质沉思的女性参与者，并将其分为两组进行愤怒或中性情绪干预，结果表明，愤怒干预组比中性情绪干预组表现出更大的特质沉思下降。这些发现提供了支持 ACR 假设的初步证据，该假设提出了一种新策略，即使用较少的认知资源通过诱发愤怒来调节状态和特质沉思。
Unlike the strategy of cognitive regulation that relies heavily on the top-down control function of the prefrontal cortex (PFC), which was recently found may be critically impaired in stressful situations, traditional Chinese philosophy and medicine views different types of emotionality as having mutual promotion and counteraction (MPMC) relationships, implying a novel approach that requires less cognition to emotional regulation. Actually, our previous studies have indicated that anger responses could be successfully regulated via the induction of sadness, and this efficiency could not be influenced by stress, thus providing evidences for the hypothesis of “sadness counteracts anger” (SCA) proposed by the MPMC theory of emotionality (Zhan et al., 2015, 2017). In this study, we experimentally examined the MPMC hypothesis that “anger counteracts rumination” (ACR) which postulates that rumination may be alleviated by the anger emotion. In Study 1, all participants were initially caused state rumination and then induced anger, joy or neutral mood, the results showed that the rumination-related affect was alleviated after anger induction relative to that after joy or neutral mood induction. In Study 2, female participants with high trait rumination were recruited and divided into two groups for exposure to an anger or neutral emotion intervention, the result indicated that the anger intervention group exhibited a greater decline in trait rumination than the neutral emotion intervention group. These findings provided preliminary evidence supporting the hypothesis of ACR, which suggested a new strategy that employs less cognitive resources to regulating state and trait rumination by inducing anger.
