最近的研究发现认知再评价的创造性与其调节效能之间存在联系。本研究提出并验证了一个关于认知再评价功能的新假设，特别是创造性的认知再评价。也就是说，他们是否能积极地改变对不愉快刺激的负面情绪唤起。为此，研究了两个问题：（a）创造性再评价是否比普通再评价更有能力将负面刺激（图片）转化为积极的，以及（B）这两种再评价是否通过不同的机制进行“负面到积极的转化”。为了回答第一个问题，我们使用间接和延迟的“积极或消极”图片分类任务（Exp. 1，n= 41，统计功效为0.877），或使用直接和即时的主观评级（Exp. 2，n= 31，统计功效为0.768）。为了回答第二个问题，我们检查了创造性因素（创造性与普通重新评估）与“时间”因素（同时与延迟重新评估交付，实验）的相互作用。1），或与“剂量”（一个与三个重新评估申请;实验。（2），分别在“负向正转换”中，考察了“时机”或“剂量”因素的变化是否会对创造性再评价和普通再评价的调节功能产生不同的影响。我们的研究结果总体上证明，创造性重评比普通重评更有能力进行“消极到积极的转化”，无论直接和间接的情感评价评级以及重评交付的时间和剂量的变化如何。此外，我们发现，这两种重新评价可以显示出可分离的剂量依赖效应（而不是时间依赖效应），从而部分暗示创造性和普通重新评价可能通过根本不同的过程或机制实现“消极到积极的转变”。
Recent studies have found the connections between cognitive reappraisals’ creativity and their regulatory efficacy. The present study proposed and tested a novel hypothesis on the function of cognitive reappraisals, especially creative ones. That is, whether they could positively alter negative emotional arousal toward unpleasant stimuli. To this end, two questions were investigated: (a) whether the creative reappraisals were more capable than ordinary ones of transforming the negative stimuli (pictures) to be perceived as positive, and (b) whether these two kinds of reappraisals made the “negative‐to‐positive transformation” through different mechanisms. To answer the first question, we examined the power of the creative and ordinary reappraisals in making the “negative‐to‐positive transformation” using an indirect and delayed “positive‐or‐negative” picture‐sorting task (Exp. 1,n= 41 with a statistical power of 0.877), or using a direct and immediate subjective rating (Exp. 2,n= 31 with a statistical power of 0.768). To answer the second question, we checked how the factor of creativeness (creative vs. ordinary reappraisal) interacted with the factor of “timing” (simultaneous vs. delayed reappraisal delivery, Exp. 1), or with that of “dose” (one vs. three reappraisal applications; Exp. 2), in making the “negative‐to‐positive transformation,” respectively, and examined if the variation of “timing” or “dose” factors would exert different effects on the creative and ordinary reappraisals’ regulatory function. Our results generally proved that creative reappraisal was more capable of making the “negative‐to‐positive transformation” than the ordinary reappraisal, regardless of the direct and indirect emotion evaluation ratings as well as the variations in the timing and dose of reappraisal delivery. Moreover, we found that these two kinds of reappraisals could show dissociable dose‐dependent effects (but not timing‐dependent ones), thus partially implying that creative and ordinary reappraisal might make the “negative‐to‐positive transformation” through fundamentally different processes or mechanisms.
