- We use the term ‘non-expression of negative emotions’ here as a synonym for repression. This term suggests perhaps a focus on expressive behavior only, but it actually refers to the inhibition of both emotional experiences and behaviors.

A power analysis with a power of 0.8 , with effect sizes derived from partial eta squares from previous similar studies (f = 0.20, see [22, 47, 48]), and α = 0.05, yielded a target sample size of 63 participants. To compensate for technical difficulties or participant drop-out, a sample size of 70 participants was targeted. We were able to recruit ...
The experiment consisted of 10 blocks of pictures, each testing one of the four conditions described below. 1. 1) In the Unregulatedcondition (2 blocks), participants were not given the opportunity to choose the upcoming image and were not instructed to suppress; they simply watched the pictures as displayed. 2. 2) In the Situation selection only c...
Eighty seven images were taken from the Geneva Affective Picture Database (GAPED, ), which gathers negative and positive stimuli that can be included in different categories with labelled content. Having an available label for each picture category is crucial for operationalizing Situation selection, as it allows participants to make a choice based...
We measured three emotional responses, corresponding to the three main emotional systems: emotional experience, expressivity, and physiological arousal [64,65,66]. For each, we derived parameters that reliably reflect rapid emotion emergence, and which proved to be sensitive to both our induction method and emotion regulation attempts.
Participation was divided into two sessions. In the first session, participants came in the laboratory and completed the SF-12 and the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory (see Participant section). They also completed other emotion-related questionnaires that served for another study. After checking right-handedness and absence of health-related issues,...
All data were processed with Acknowledge 4.4 (Biopac System, Goleta, CA, USA). Some channels were band-pass filtered to increase the signal-to-noise ratio (20–500 Hz for EMG, 0.5–35 Hz for ECG, and 0.05–1 Hz for respiration). Channels were then manually scanned for movement or electric interferences, which were corrected by signal interpolation. To...
We first computed the descriptive values for each parameter in the Unregulatedcondition, as a manipulation check of reactivity. We contrasted the distribution of affective experience with a 0-centered distribution to confirm induction of presumed positive and negative experience. Two steps of analyses were then successively conducted for each param...

Abstract. There is growing interest in understanding how emotion regulation affects adaptation. The present study examined expressive suppression (which involves inhibiting the overt expression of emotion) and how it affects one critical domain of adaptation, social functioning.
While repression can provide short-term relief from emotional distress, it often leads to long-term negative consequences if left unaddressed. It can hinder emotional growth, strain relationships, and contribute to mental and physical health issues.

Mar 13, 2018 · Available evidence suggests that emotion regulation can modulate both immediate (emotional experience) and long-term (episodic memory) effects of emotion, and that both explicit and implicit forms may be effective.
