Better Emotion Regulation-the Adaptability Of Emotion Regulation And The Emotion Regulation Choice

Emotion regulation is an important mechanism to maintain mental health,adapt to good emotion regulation,need in different situations,the appropriate choice of different emotion regulation strategies,so as to achieve the appropriate emotion regulation goals.Adaptability of emotion regulation strategies and flexible choice under different scenarios corresponding strategies,are two important conditions of the successful emotion regulation.However,there are some differences in the adaptability of different emotion regulation strategies in different cultural backgrounds.At the same time,the choice of emotion regulation as a new research field still lacks some research.Therefore,in this paper,from these two aspects,to explore the adaptability of emotion regulation.Recent studies have shown that strategy-situation-fit is a necessary condition for adaptive emotion regulation,and controllability as an important dimension of the situation,in which to a certain regulatory role.In the study 1,we used the method of person-by-situation approach and scene to measure the degree of anxiety of the subjects through the scale,through the standardized laboratory program to measure the emotion regulation ability of the subjects,to explore the relationship between the stressors controllability,emotion regulation ability and the degree of anxiety.Regression analysis shows that higher cumulative stress levels significantly predict the higher degree of anxiety.Simple slope analysis shows that in low cumulative stress and high controllable situation,cognitive reappraisal ability significantly predict the lower anxiety levels,and in low cumulative stress and low controllable situation,cognitive reappraisal ability to just marginally significant predict the anxiety level.The experimental results provide convergence evidence of the adaptability of specific emotion regulation strategy in different situations.In the study 2,from the another condition of adaptative emotion regulation,choosing the appropriate emotion regulation strategy,namely the perspective of emotion regulation choice,while verifying the motivational dimension of emotional stimulation and testosterone levels of two possible factors,through a random cross design,administration of a single dosage of testosterone gel(150mg testosterone)for male with Emotion Regulation Choice Task(ERCT),although result did not prove the causal relationship between testosterone and emotion regulation choice,but the main effect in the motive direction showed that Motivation has a significant impact on the choice of emotional regulation strategy,the stronger the motivation to avoid,the more inclined to use the distraction strategy.To sum up,in daily life,individual psychological health affected by the accumulation of pressure which caused by their encountered life events,at the same time,the limited evidence that cognitive reappraisal,even considered adaptive emotion regulation strategies,still need to be in a particular situation so that it can play a better role.And in different scenarios,namely,individual in the face of the different motive direction of emotional stimuli tend to choose different emotion regulation strategies to adjust their own emotions.
