Abstract

Frontal EEG asymmetry appears to serve as (1) an individual difference variable related to emotional responding and emotional disorders, and (2) a state-dependent concomitant of emotional responding. Such findings, highlighted in this review, suggest that frontal EEG asymmetry may serve as both a moderator and a mediator of emotion- and motivation-related constructs. Unequivocal evidence supporting frontal EEG asymmetry as a moderator and/or mediator of emotion is lacking, as insufficient attention has been given to analyzing the frontal EEG asymmetries in terms of moderators and mediators. The present report reviews the frontal EEG asymmetry literature from the framework of moderators and mediators, and overviews data analytic strategies that would support claims of moderation and mediation.

摘要

额叶脑电图不对称似乎起到了以下作用

（1）作为一个与情绪反应和情绪障碍相关的个体差异变量；（2）作为情绪反应的一种状态依赖性伴随现象。本综述中强调的这些发现表明，额叶脑电图不对称可能既是情绪和动机相关结构的调节变量，也是中介变量。目前缺乏明确支持额叶脑电图不对称作为情绪调节变量和/或中介变量的证据，因为在分析额叶脑电图不对称的调节和中介作用方面，关注不够。本报告从中介变量和调节变量的框架回顾了额叶脑电图不对称的文献，并概述了支持调节和中介作用的数据分析策略。
