Cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression strategies role in the emotion regulation: an overview on their modulatory effects and neural correlates

Open access
Cutuli, Debora·2014·Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience

Abstract

Individuals regulate their emotions in a wide variety of ways. In the present review it has been addressed the issue of whether some forms of emotion regulation are healthier than others by focusing on two commonly used emotion regulation strategies: cognitive reappraisal (changing the way one thinks about potentially emotion-eliciting events) and expressive suppression (changing the way one behaviorally responds to emotion-eliciting events). In the first section, experimental findings showing that cognitive reappraisal has a healthier profile of short-term affective, cognitive, and social consequences than expressive suppression are briefly reported. In the second section, individual-difference findings are reviewed showing that using cognitive reappraisal to regulate emotions is associated with healthier patterns of affect, social functioning, and well-being than is using expressive suppression. Finally, brain structural basis and functional activation linked to the habitual usage of cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression are discussed in detail.

  • The increased use of suppression strategies over reappraisal strategies is thought to lead to a variety of negative physical and mental health outcomes.

    “The increased use of suppression strategies over reappraisal strategies is thought to lead to a variety of negative physical and mental health outcomes (Cutuli, 2014; Gross and John, 2003; John and Gross, 2004).”

    The Individual difference studies section links habitual suppression, compared with reappraisal, to poorer psychological well-being and depressive symptoms. The Experimental studies section reports greater physiological activation and, in social interactions, increased blood pressure. But the paper does not establish negative physical health outcomes from increased suppression use; its Conclusions say whether suppression is a causal factor in depression and stress-related symptoms remains open.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
