背在面部感知任务中,参与者(170 名女性和 120 名男性大学生)收到了虚假的表现反馈,这些反馈与自我概念不一致,从而威胁到自我概念。然后,参与者完成了一项写作活动,鼓励他们将面部感知任务视为无效(重新评估)或有效(控制)评估工具。之后,参与者继续执行任务。结果在参与者认为具有威胁性的面部感知任务中,压抑性倾向与防御反应(对演员表情的感知情绪减少、皮肤电导水平增加和心率增加)相关,但在他们重新评估事件为无威胁后重新暴露于事件期间则不然。结论这项研究通过探索倾向-情境相互作用如何影响,提供了对以情绪为中心的应对的动态本质的更详细的理解。情绪的自我调节。
Background and ObjectivesThe malleability of emotion-focused coping was investigated by manipulating the situational context so that dispositional repressors, who typically utilize an avoidant strategy when confronted with a stressor, were led to use reappraisal and then were reexposed to the stressor.DesignA mixed design with one measured between-subjects factor (dispositional repression), two randomized between-subjects factors (performance feedback and coping strategy), and multimodal assessments across phases of the experiment was used.MethodDuring a face-perception task, participants (170 female and 120 male university students) received bogus performance feedback that was inconsistent with and thus threatening to self-concept. Participants then completed a writing activity encouraging them to perceive a face-perception task as either an invalid (reappraisal) or a valid (control) assessment tool. Afterward, participants continued with the task.ResultsA repressive disposition was associated with a defense response (decreased perceived emotion to actors' expressions, increased skin conductance levels, and increased heart rates) during the face-perception task that participants perceived as threatening, but not during reexposure to the event after they had reappraised it as nonthreatening.ConclusionsThis research provides a more detailed understanding of the dynamic nature of emotion-focused coping by exploring how the disposition-situation interaction affects self-regulation of emotion.
