认知重新评价的研究表明，重新解释刺激可以改变情绪反应，但很少有研究探讨了持久的影响与重新解释为基础的情绪调节策略。情绪调节的持久效果的证据可以在临床研究中找到，这些研究在认知行为治疗（CBT）中使用认知重建（CR）技术来减轻焦虑。这些技术是基于焦虑的认知理论，认为这些疾病是由有偏见的认知引起的;因此，改变一个人的思想将引起个人情绪反应的持久变化。尽管CBT在焦虑症治疗方面取得了相当大的成功，但与情绪调节相关的持久效果尚未在实验室范式的背景下得到彻底的研究。本研究的目的是确定CR（CBT中使用的一种技术，类似于认知重新评估）是否可以减弱条件性恐惧反应，以及这种效果是否会随着时间的推移（24小时）而持续。我们使用蛇或蜘蛛的图像来调节参与者，这些图像偶尔与手腕上的轻微电击配对，同时我们获得主观恐惧报告和皮肤电活动（EDA）。在条件反射之后，一半的参与者被随机分配到CR训练，旨在减少他们对电击和条件刺激的情绪反应，而另一半则没有接受过这样的训练。所有参与者在24小时后返回以重复调节会话。与对照组参与者相比，CR参与者表现出跨会话的恐惧和EDA减少。这些结果表明，CR对恐惧反应具有持久的影响。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2016阿帕，保留所有权利）
Studies of cognitive reappraisal have demonstrated that reinterpreting a stimulus can alter emotional responding, yet few studies have examined the durable effects associated with reinterpretation-based emotion regulation strategies. Evidence for the enduring effects of emotion regulation may be found in clinical studies that use cognitive restructuring (CR) techniques in cognitive–behavioral therapy (CBT) to alleviate anxiety. These techniques are based on cognitive theories of anxiety that suggest these disorders arise from biased cognitions; therefore, changing a person's thoughts will elicit durable changes in an individual's emotional responses. Despite the considerable success of CBT for anxiety disorders, durable effects associated with emotion regulation have not been thoroughly examined in the context of a laboratory paradigm. The goal of this study was to determine whether CR, a technique used in CBT and similar to cognitive reappraisal, could attenuate conditioned fear responses, and whether the effect would persist over time (24 hr). We conditioned participants using images of snakes or spiders that were occasionally paired with a mild shock to the wrist while we obtained subjective fear reports and electrodermal activity (EDA). After conditioning, half of the participants were randomly assigned to CR training aimed at decreasing their emotional response to the shock and the conditioned stimuli, while the other half received no such training. All participants returned 24 hr later to repeat the conditioning session. Compared with control participants, CR participants demonstrated a reduction in fear and EDA across sessions. These findings suggest that CR has durable effects on fear responding.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
