The Effect Of Physical Exercise On The Effect Of Implicit Emotion Regulation In The Elderly

With the deepening of the research on the relationship between exercise and emotion,the influence of exercise on the effect of implicit emotion regulation strategy has been paid more and more attention by scholars.Previous studies focused on the relationship between emotion regulation and exercise of young groups such as college students,but there is still a lack of empirical research on the dual effects of implicit emotion regulation strategy and exercise on the emotion regulation effect of the elderly in the field of sports.Based on the study of long-term exercise,this experiment explored whether the effect of implicit emotion regulation in short-term aerobic exercise has different changes in subjective emotional experience and physiological response.This study takes the elderly as the research object to explore the influence of physical exercise and different implicit emotion regulation strategies on the negative emotion regulation effect in the context of long-term exercise and short-term aerobic exercise from two aspects of subjective emotional experience and physiological response.This study included two experiments.In Experiment 1,32 exercise aged people and 26 non exercise aged people were selected as subjects to explore the difference of the effects of different implicit emotion regulation strategies on negative emotion regulation between exercise aged people and non exercise aged people,The changes of skin electricity,heart rate and other indicators from the quiet state to 1 minute after watching the emotional film were recorded synchronously by the multi-channel physiological feedback instrument and multi-channel physiological recorder.The results showed that:(1)after watching the film,the negative sadness emotion was significantly induced,while the positive emotions of happiness and excitement were significantly reduced;(2)The change of skin electricity in the implicit cognitive reappraisal group was significantly lower than that in the implicit expression inhibition group and the simple viewing group,but there was no significant difference between the implicit expression inhibition group and the simple viewing group;(3)In the implicit cognitive reappraisal group,the change of skin electricity in the exercise elderly was significantly lower than that in the non exercise elderly.In Experiment 2,28 elderly exercisers were selected as subjects.After a short-term aerobic exercise,the sentence sorting task was used to activate the goal of implicit knowledge reappraisal or expression inhibition,The emotional responses before and after watching negative emotional films were measured,and the changes of skin electricity,heart rate and other indicators from the quiet state to 1 minute after watching emotional films were recorded synchronously by using multichannel physiological recording feedback instrument.The results showed that:(1)after watching the film,sad emotion was significantly induced in different emotion regulation strategies groups,while the positive emotions of happiness and excitement were significantly reduced;(2)The posttest score of negative sadness emotion in implicit cognitive reappraisal group was significantly lower than that in implicit expression inhibition group,and the marginal score was significantly lower than that in simple viewing group.There was no significant difference between the two groups;(3)The change of skin electricity in the implicit cognitive reappraisal group was significantly lower than that in the implicit expression inhibition group,and also significantly lower than that in the simple viewing group.There was no significant difference between the implicit expression inhibition group and the simple viewing group.The conclusion of this study is that the effect of implicit cognitive reappraisal strategy on emotion regulation of the elderly is better than that of implicit expression inhibition strategy,and the effect of emotional regulation of exercise elderly is better than that of non exercise elderly when using implicit cognitive reappraisal strategy,which is mainly reflected in the skin electrical index.In the short-term aerobic exercise situation,the exercise elderly can effectively use the implicit cognitive reappraisal strategy to reduce the subjective experience of negative emotions and the level of skin electricity,but the effect of implicit expression inhibition strategy is not obvious.
