情感调节在减少种族偏见的几种理论中起着关键作用。在这里，我们测试了在执行内隐种族偏见任务(武器识别任务；WIT)时采用情绪调节策略是否会改变偏见的神经和行为表现。在记录脑电(EEG)的同时，参与者抑制或以积极的方式重新评估了与在机智过程中犯错误相关的痛苦。我们假设，参与情绪调节策略将减少与犯错误指示偏见相关的苦恼，导致错误期间错误相关负波(ERN)的幅度较小，并增加种族偏见的表达。受试者内部比较的结果(实验1)大体上支持这些预测。然而，当情绪调节策略在被试之间操纵时(实验2)，抑制或重新评价对偏见表达没有影响。在这两个实验中，参与情绪调节导致了发生在黑人身上的错误的ERN更大-相对于白人启动的试验。此外，还观察到了一些显著的顺序效应，这表明当参与者在第一组和第二组试验中尝试情绪调节策略时，这些策略的效果存在重要差异。在没有情绪调节指令的情况下，完成第二个试验块时，没有明显的顺序效应。在情绪调节对错误处理和认知表现的实验测试中，需要更具特异性的研究结果被讨论。
Affect regulation plays a key role in several theories of racial bias reduction. Here, we tested whether engaging in emotion regulation strategies while performing an implicit racial bias task (Weapons Identification Task; WIT) would alter neural and behavioral manifestations of bias. Participants either suppressed or reappraised in a positive light the distress associated with making errors during the WIT, while the electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded. We hypothesized that engaging in emotion regulation strategies would reduce the distress associated with making errors indicative of bias, resulting in smaller error-related negativity (ERN) amplitude during errors and increased expression of racial bias. Results of within-subjects comparisons (Experiment 1) generally supported these predictions. However, when emotion regulation strategies were manipulated between subjects (Experiment 2) there was no effect of suppression or reappraisal on bias expression. Across both experiments, engaging in emotion regulation led to larger ERNs for errors occurring on Black-relative to White-primed trials. In addition, a number of significant order effects were observed, indicating important differences in the effects of engaging in emotion regulation strategies when those strategies are attempted in participants’ first versus second block of trials. No such order effects were evident when a second trial block was completed with no emotion regulation instructions. Findings are discussed in terms of the need for greater specificity in experimental tests of emotion regulation on error processing and cognitive performance.
