Although a great deal of literature has been dedicated to the mutual links between emotion and selective attention component executive control, there is very little data regarding inhibitory control. In current study we employed an emotional stop-signal task in order examine whether modulates modulated by Results replicated previous findings showing reduced control (longer reaction time) following negative, compared neutral pictures. Most importantly, results show decreased interference...
Rumination, a maladaptive self-reflection, is risk factor for depression, thought to be maintained by executive control deficits that impair ruminators’ ability ignore emotional information. The current research examined whether training individuals exert when exposed negative stimuli can ease rumination. A total of 85 participants were randomly assigned one two conditions. In the experimental condition activation was followed predominantly presentation pictures, whereas in it neutral...
Irrelevant emotional information influences adaptive behavior. Previous results demonstrated that executive control may help reduce such influence. The current research studied the relationship between tendency to use emotion regulation strategies (e.g., reappraisal and suppression) ability of interference. Our demonstrate negative stimuli disrupt performance in congruent flanker trials, regardless individual tendencies or suppression. In contrast, did not incongruent trials people who...
Evolution theory suggests that adaptive behavior depends on our ability to give preferential attention emotional information when it is necessary for survival, and down-regulate irrelevant influence. However, empirical work has shown the interaction between emotion varies, based attentional network in question. The aim of current research was examine influence stimulus emotionality three networks: alerting, orienting, executive functions. In two studies, using negative neutral cues a...

Emotions play a significant role in well-being and interpersonal relationships. The presence of others is indispensable facilitating the regulation an individual's emotions. Despite extensive research on intrinsic emotion strategies, specific strategies employed during extrinsic (EER), particularly among individuals with depression, remain underexplored. In this study, conducted 2020, we investigated EER used by low high depression symptoms whether beneficial to their well-being. A total 130...
To manage life’s stressors, we can self-regulate our emotions or seek social regulatory support. One commonly used strategy is reappraisal, where individuals reframe their own negative (i.e. self-reappraisal) help others social-reappraisal). Here, compared the neural mechanisms underlying self- and social-reappraisal of autobiographical memories using standard univariate contrasts, Bayes factor multivariate classifier approaches. Both recruited regions associated with control, such as...

The current study explored the role of valence and self-relevance in size estimation neutral aversive animals. In Experiment 1, participants who were highly fearful spiders with low fear rated unpleasantness other animals (birds butterflies). We found that although individuals both high as unpleasant, only larger than butterflies. 2 included additional pictures wasps (not self-relevant, but unpleasant) beetles. results this experiment replicated those 1 showed a similar bias for beetles, not...
In the current study we explored whether training individuals to recruit cognitive control prior exposure negative pictures can facilitate propensity use reappraisal and success. Participants were randomly assigned one of two groups. group, typically preceded by a stimulus that recruits control, whereas in does not control. subsequently asked reflect on personal event later reappraise event. As predicted, compared participants those group more likely spontaneously, when instructed...
The current study examined whether the interaction between emotion and executive control (EC) is modulated by processing type of emotional information. Namely, information explicitly processed, implicitly processed or passively viewed. In each trial, a negative neutral picture preceded an arrow-flanker stimulus that was congruent incongruent. Incongruent stimuli are known to recruit EC. Explicit pictures (Experiment 1a), which required responding their content, resulted in interference for...
