在本研究中，我们探讨了移情释义作为一种外在情绪调节技术在社会冲突中的作用。我们假设，社会冲突引发的负面情绪可以在会话中通过听者跟随叙述者的视角并口头表达认知共情来进行外部调节。20名参与者接受了采访，正在进行或最近自我经历的社会冲突。访谈者使用了10个标准化的开放式问题，请参与者描述他们对冲突的看法。在10个描述中的每一个描述之后，面试官通过转述或做笔记（控制条件）来回应。与当前情绪状态有关的效价等级在访谈期间进行了评估，沿着有心理生理和语音记录。参与者报告说，在听到面试官转述他们所说的话后，他们的消极情绪有所减轻。此外，我们发现参与者在回答复述后的问题时声音强度较低。在生理水平上，皮肤电导反应，以及心率，在复述过程中高于在记笔记，而血容量脉冲幅度较低，在复述过程中，表明更高的自主觉醒。研究结果表明，通过释义来展示认知移情可以在短期内对负性情绪进行外调节。释义导致接受者的自主神经激活增强，同时影响情绪效价，使其感觉更好。对这些结果的一个可能的解释是，以共情的方式对待可能会刺激更强烈的情绪处理，帮助转化和解决冲突。
In the present study, we investigated the effects of empathic paraphrasing as an extrinsic emotion regulation technique in social conflict. We hypothesized that negative emotions elicited by social conflict can be regulated extrinsically in a conversation by a listener following the narrator’s perspective and verbally expressing cognitive empathy. Twenty participants were interviewed on an ongoing or recently self-experienced social conflict. The interviewer utilized 10 standardized open questions inviting participants to describe their perception of the conflict. After each of the 10 descriptions, the interviewer responded by either paraphrasing or taking notes (control condition). Valence ratings pertaining to the current emotional state were assessed during the interview along with psychophysiological and voice recordings. Participants reported feeling less negative after hearing the interviewer paraphrase what they had said. In addition, we found a lower sound intensity of participants’ voices when answering to questions following a paraphrase. At the physiological level, skin conductance response, as well as heart rate, were higher during paraphrasing than during taking notes, while blood volume pulse amplitude was lower during paraphrasing, indicating higher autonomic arousal. The results show that demonstrating cognitive empathy through paraphrasing can extrinsically regulate negative emotion on a short-term basis. Paraphrasing led to enhanced autonomic activation in recipients, while at the same time influencing emotional valence in the direction of feeling better. A possible explanation for these results is that being treated in an empathic manner may stimulate a more intense emotion processing helping to transform and resolve the conflict.
