Emotion regulation alters the trajectories of emotional responses and, when effective, transforms the emotional responses to help individuals adapt to their environment. Previous research has mainly focused on the efficiency of regulation strategies performed individually at a given time. Yet, in daily life, it is likely that several strategies are often combined. Thus, we question in this study the combinatorial efficiency of two emotion regulation strategies, Situation selection and Emotional suppression. In a within-subject design, sixty-five participants were asked to implement either no strategy, Situation selection only, Emotional suppression only, or both strategies together (four conditions) while looking at various emotionally charged images. Experience, expressivity, and physiological arousal were recorded throughout the viewing. Repeated-measures ANOVAs and corrected post-hoc tests were used for analyzing the data. The results of the combined strategies showed that Emotional suppression canceled the beneficial impact of Situation selection on negative experience, while significantly increasing the impact on cardiac activity. The use of both strategies together had a greater effect on respiratory function with an enhanced decrease in respiratory rate and amplitude. The combinatorial effect of emotion regulation strategies is different according to the emotional response that the individual needs to regulate. The simultaneous use of Situation selection and Emotional suppression could be particularly beneficial to relieve physiological symptoms.

同时使用情绪抑制和情境选择来调节情绪有利于生理反应

情绪调节会改变情绪反应的轨迹，并在有效时改变情绪反应以帮助个人适应环境。先前的研究主要集中在给定时间单独执行的调节策略的效率。然而，在日常生活中，很可能经常将几种策略结合在一起。因此，我们在本研究中质疑两种情绪调节策略（情境选择和情绪抑制）的组合效率。在受试者内部设计中，要求65名参与者在观察各种充满情感的图像时，既不实施策略，仅进行情境选择，仅实施情绪抑制，或两种策略一起执行（四个条件）。整个观看过程中都记录了经验，表现力和生理唤醒。重复测量方差分析和修正的事后检验用于分析数据。组合策略的结果表明，情绪抑制抵消了情境选择对消极经历的有益影响，同时显着增加了对心脏活动的影响。两种策略的共同使用对呼吸功能的影响更大，呼吸频率和幅度的降低也有所增强。情绪调节策略的组合效果根据个人需要调节的情绪反应而有所不同。同时使用“情境选择”和“情绪抑制”对缓解生理症状特别有益。组合策略的结果表明，情绪抑制抵消了情境选择对消极经历的有益影响，同时显着增加了对心脏活动的影响。两种策略的共同使用对呼吸功能的影响更大，呼吸频率和幅度的降低也有所增强。情绪调节策略的组合效果根据个人需要调节的情绪反应而有所不同。同时使用“情境选择”和“情绪抑制”对缓解生理症状特别有益。组合策略的结果表明，情绪抑制抵消了情境选择对消极经历的有益影响，同时显着增加了对心脏活动的影响。两种策略的共同使用对呼吸功能的影响更大，呼吸频率和幅度的降低也有所增强。情绪调节策略的组合效果根据个人需要调节的情绪反应而有所不同。同时使用“情境选择”和“情绪抑制”对缓解生理症状特别有益。两种策略的共同使用对呼吸功能的影响更大，呼吸频率和幅度的降低也有所增强。情绪调节策略的组合效果根据个人需要调节的情绪反应而有所不同。同时使用“情境选择”和“情绪抑制”可能对缓解生理症状特别有益。两种策略的共同使用对呼吸功能的影响更大，呼吸频率和幅度的降低也有所增强。情绪调节策略的组合效果根据个人需要调节的情绪反应而有所不同。同时使用“情境选择”和“情绪抑制”对缓解生理症状特别有益。
