The present article reviews modern research on the psychology of emotion regulation. Emotion regulation determines offset emotional responding and is thus distinct from sensitivity, which onset responding. Among most viable categories for classifying emotion-regulation strategies are targets functions emotion-generating systems that targeted in include attention, knowledge, bodily responses. satisfying hedonic needs, supporting specific goal pursuits, facilitating global personality system....
Good self-control has been linked to adaptive outcomes such as better health, cohesive personal relationships, success in the workplace and at school, less susceptibility crime addictions. In contrast, failure is maladaptive outcomes. Understanding mechanisms by which predicts behavior may assist promoting regulation A popular approach understanding strength or resource depletion model. Self-control conceptualized a limited that becomes depleted after period of exertion resulting failure....
Although psychotherapy and antidepressant medication are efficacious in the treatment of depressive anxiety disorders, it is not known whether they equally for all types antidepressants each disorder. We conducted a meta-analysis studies which were directly compared disorders. Systematic searches bibliographical databases resulted 67 randomized trials, including 5,993 patients that met inclusion criteria, 40 focusing on disorders 27 The overall effect size indicating difference between...
We conducted a meta-analysis of randomized trials in which the effects treatment with antidepressant medication were compared to combined pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy adults diagnosed depressive or anxiety disorder. A total 52 studies (with 3,623 patients) met inclusion criteria, 32 on disorders 21 (one both disorders). The overall difference between was Hedges' g = 0.43 (95% CI: 0.31-0.56), indicating moderately large effect clinically meaningful favor treatment, corresponds number...
The present research examined whether and how loading working memory can attenuate negative mood. In three experiments, participants were exposed to neutral, weakly negative, or strongly pictures followed by a task mood scale. Working demands varied manipulating presence (Study 1), complexity 2), predictability 3). Participants in all experiments reported less moods trials with high compared low demand. did not affect the neutral trials. When high, no longer more response than pictures....
Although replications are vital to scientific progress, psychologists rarely engage in systematic replication efforts. In this article, we consider psychologists’ narrative approach publications as an underlying reason for neglect and propose incentive structure within psychology. First, researchers need accessible outlets publishing replications. To accomplish this, psychology journals could publish reports files that electronically linked of the original research. Second, should get cited....
Although emotion regulation has traditionally been conceived as a deliberative process, there is growing evidence that many emotion-regulation processes operate at implicit levels. This special issue of Cognition and Emotion showcases recent advances in theorising empirical research on regulation. Implicit can be broadly defined any process operates without the need for conscious supervision or explicit intentions, aims modifying quality, intensity, duration an emotional response. likely to...
When people interact, their behavior tends to become synchronized, a mutual coordination process that fosters short-term adaptations, like increased affiliation, and long-term bonding. This paper addresses for the first time how such adaptivity induced by synchronization can be modeled computationally second-order multi-adaptive neural agent model. It movement, affect verbal modalities both intrapersonal synchrony interpersonal synchrony. The of introduced model was evaluated in simulation...

This article explores the links between implicit self-esteem and automatic self (D. L. Paulhus, 1993). Across 4 studies, name letter evaluations were positively biased, confirming that is generally positive (A. G. Greenwald & M. R. Banaji, 1995). Study 1 found this bias was stable over a 4-week period. 2 for letters birth date numbers correlated both biases became inhibited when participants induced to respond in deliberative manner. Studies 3-4 self-evaluations corresponded with...
The authors propose that volitional action is supported by intuitive affect regulation, defined as flexible, efficient, and nonrepressive control of own affective states. Intuitive regulation should be most apparent among action-oriented individuals under demanding conditions. Consistent with this, a context led to down-regulate negative in self-reports (Study 1), an Simon task 2), face discrimination 3). In line the idea guided top-down self-regulation processes, was mediated increases...
Negotiators tend to believe that own and other's outcomes are diametrically opposed.When such fixed-pie perceptions (FPPs) not revised during negotiation, integrative agreements unlikely.It was predicted accuracy motivation helps negotiators release their FPPs.In 2 experiments, manipulated by (not) holding accountable for the manner in which they negotiated.Experiment 1 showed accountability reduced FPPs face-to-face negotiation produced more agreements.Experiment corroborated these results:...
Background Randomized trials can show whether a treatment effect is statistically significant and describe the size of effect. There are, however, no validated methods available for establishing clinical relevance these outcomes. Recently, it was proposed that standardized mean difference (SMD) 0.50 be used as cutoff in depression. Methods We explore what means why an has little bearing on its relevance. will also examine how "minimally important difference," seen from patient perspective,...
Abstract Fully functioning persons are characterized by a unity in thought, emotion, and action that amounts to “being someone” or having “an integrated self.” Psychologists have typically treated the self as merely descriptive term summarizes significant behavioral achievements. In present article, authors seek place on firmer theoretical grounds relating neurobiological system with distinct processing characteristics. Building personality systems interactions theory (Kuhl, ), suggest is...
Cervone, Shadel, Smith, and Fiori (2006 ) propose that theories of personality architecture may provide an integrative theoretical framework for self‐regulation research. Building further on this argument, the present paper considers one comprehensive modern approach to architecture, systems interactions (PSI) theory. The authors a brief overview PSI theory discuss simple, three‐step “user's manual” has guided applications real‐life behavior. Work highlights some potential science in field...
