主观报告下情绪标注对正负性情绪的作用

摘要

在情绪标注的研究中，存在着情绪标注是增强还是抑制了情绪的争论。实验1以负性情绪图片为材料，分别在实验条件和预期条件下，比较了情绪标注和观看情绪刺激后的主观评定。结果发现，在预期条件下，被试在情绪标注时比观看时对情绪刺激评定的情绪强度更高；而在实验条件下，被试在情绪标注时比观看时对情绪刺激评定的强度更低。实验2以正性情绪图片为材料，分别在实验条件和预期条件下，比较了情绪标注和观看情绪刺激后的主观评定。结果发现，在预期条件下，被试在情绪标注时比观看时对情绪刺激评定的情绪强度更高；而在实验条件下，被试在情绪标注时和观看时相比在情绪刺激评定上没有差异。研究表明被试认为情绪标注会增强情绪，而在实际进行情绪标注时会抑制情绪，尤其是在负性情绪时。%In the study of affect labeling , there is one question at issue , namely whether affect labeling will enhance emotion of subjects or will reduce emotion , especially for the Chinese subjects using Chinese characters .To test this question , We conducted two experi-ments.In study one, the self-reported distress is lower during affect labeling , compared to passive watching , of negative emotional pic-tures.But participant predictions about the effects of affect labeling suggest that people do not believe affect labeling to be an effective emotion regulation strategy .Study two employs positive emotional pictures and affect labeling was not associated with diminished self -reported pleasure , relative to passive watching .Participant predictions about the effects of affect labeling will enhance positve emo -tions.In conclusion, the present study demonstrates that affect labeling can reduce the self -reported distress for negative emotions only;but they believe affect labeling will enhance the emotions whether to negative emotions or to positive emotions .
