尽管情绪障碍在精神病理学中占有重要地位，但明确研究成人情绪调节的实验相对较少。本研究考察了一种类型的情绪调节：对不愉快的视觉刺激的短期情绪反应的自愿调节。在48名大学生的样本中，眨眼惊度和瓦楞肌活动对实验操作都很敏感。抑制负面情绪的指示导致受惊时眨眼次数减少和瓦楞肌活动减少。增强负面情绪的指示导致更大的惊吓眨眼和增加的瓦楞肌活动。讨论了这种实验操作的几个优点，包括抑制和增强情绪条件的使用，对初始情绪激发和随后情绪调节的独立测量，完全在受试者内部设计的使用，以及自然情绪调节策略的使用。
Despite the prominence of emotional dysfunction in psychopathology, relatively few experiments have explicitly studied emotion regulation in adults. The present study examined one type of emotion regulation: voluntary regulation of short-term emotional responses to unpleasant visual stimuli. In a sample of 48 college students, both eyeblink startle magnitude and corrugator activity were sensitive to experimental manipulation. Instructions to suppress negative emotion led to both smaller startle eyeblinks and decreased corrugator activity. Instructions to enhance negative emotion led to larger startle eyeblinks and increased corrugator activity. Several advantages of this experimental manipulation ale discussed, including the use of both a suppress and an enhance emotion condition, independent measurement of initial emotion elicitation and subsequent regulation of that emotion, the use of a completely within-subjects design, and the use of naturalistic emotion regulation strategies.
