SGER: A Social Cognitive Neuroscience Approach to the Regulation of Self, Emotion and Thought

三项研究将使用功能磁共振成像来测试关于心理过程和支持自我调节的神经系统的假说。第一个实验旨在通过自我提升或改变态度来调节自我概念以应对自我威胁的能力。第二个实验的目标是通过抑制情绪反应或重新评估情感刺激来调节情绪的能力。第三个实验的目标是通过抑制或表达目标认知来调节思维的能力。总而言之，这些研究将为调节自我概念、情绪和思想的共同和独特的神经功能系统提供新的见解。

Three studies will be conducted using functional magnetic resonance imaging to test hypotheses about psychological processes and neural systems that support self-regulation. The first experiment targets the ability to regulate the self-concept in response to an ego threat by either self-enhancing or changing an attitude. The second experiment targets the ability to regulate emotion through suppression of an emotional response or reappraisal of an affective stimulus. The third experiment targets the ability to regulate thought through the suppression or expression of target cognitions. Together, these studies will provide new insight on the common and distinct neurofunctional systems used to regulate the self-concept, emotion, and thought.
