Abstract:
Objective: To compared the efficacy and transferability of creative cognitive reappraisal (CCR) versus traditional cognitive reappraisal (TCR) for emotion regulation. Methods: Forty-two healthy university students were randomly assigned to three groups: a CCR group (trained with highly creative reappraisal statements), a TCR group (trained with low-creativity reappraisal statements), and a no-reappraisal control group. The experiment consisted of a learning phase (only CCR and TCR groups learned strategies for 5 negative pictures) and a test phase (all participants generated reappraisal strategies for 19 novel negative pictures and rated their effectiveness). Emotion regulation effectiveness was measured by the evaluation that after reappraisal. Results: Results revealed a significant difference in regulation effectiveness among the three groups (F=49.07, p<0.05). Post-hoc tests showed that the CCR group exhibited significantly higher effectiveness (127±12) compared to the TCR group (98±25) and the control group (65±12). Conclusion: These findings indicate that CCR is an effective emotion regulation strategy whose effects transfer to novel negative stimuli and significantly outperform those of TCR.
目的:旨在比较创造性认知重评与传统认知重评策略的情绪调节效果及其迁移性。方法:42名健康大学生被随机分为三组:创造性认知重评组(学习高创造性重评语句)、传统认知重评组(学习低创造性重评语句)和无认知重评组。实验包括学习阶段(仅前两组学习针对5张负性图片的重评策略)和测试阶段(所有被试对19张新负性图片自主生成重评策略并评估其调节有效性)。以情绪调节后的愉悦度评分为重评效果指标。结果:三组重评效果存在显著差异(F=49.07,p<0.05)。事后检验表明,创造性认知重评组的效果(127±12)显著优于传统认知重评组(98±25)和无认知重评组(65±12)。结论:创造性认知重评策略不仅能有效调节情绪,且其效果能够迁移到新的负性刺激情境中,并显著优于传统认知重评策略。
