情绪调节（ER）对健康的适应至关重要，并影响个人如何应对压力和从压力中恢复。我们调查了ER是否改善心血管，神经内分泌和心理应激反应，同时考虑到习惯性ER倾向的调节作用。86名女性在经历压力源时应用认知重新评价或表达抑制（与对照组相比）。重新评估降低了压力期间的心率变异性（HRV），但也启动了一个更强的压力后HRV恢复相对于抑制。这种重新评价引起的心脏迷走神经的灵活性，特别是在习惯性的重新评价。此外，重新评价组报告增强了积极的影响，而抑制组经历了更多的不愉快，并表示比对照组更高的皮质醇水平。在重新评价组中也发现了皮质醇反应性升高，但仅限于在特质重新评价中得分低或平均的个体。这些结果提供了初步的证据，重新评价促进心理生理适应压力，但也表明，ER策略的有效性严重依赖于其习惯的使用。
Emotion regulation (ER) is vital for healthy adaptation and influences how individuals respond to and recover from stress. We investigated whether ER improves cardiovascular, neuroendocrine and psychological stress responses, while taking into account the moderating role of habitual ER tendencies. Eighty-six women applied either cognitive reappraisal or expressive suppression (vs. control) while undergoing a stressor. Reappraisal decreased heart rate variability (HRV) during stress, but also initiated a stronger post-stress HRV-recovery relative to suppression. This reappraisal-induced cardiac-vagal-flexibility was particularly observed in habitual reappraisers. Furthermore, the reappraisal group reported enhanced positive affect, whereas the suppression group experienced more unpleasantness and expressed higher cortisol levels than controls. Heightened cortisol reactivity was also found in the reappraisal group, but only for individuals scoring low or mean on trait reappraisal. These results provide preliminary evidence that reappraisal fosters psychophysiological adaptation in response to stress, but also suggest that ER-strategy-efficacy critically depends on its habitual use.
