Although general emotion coping difficulties are well documented in schizophrenia, there has been limited study of specific regulatory strategies such as suppression, reappraisal, and acceptance. In the present study, clinical and control participants were asked to watch video clips selected to elicit negative affect while engaging in one of these three different emotion regulation strategies (counterbalanced), versus a passive viewing condition. The experiential and expressive components of emotion were quantified using self-report and facial electromyography, respectively. A major finding was that, in contrast to control participants, individuals with schizophrenia did not report a greater willingness to reexperience negative emotion after engaging in acceptance. These data are discussed in the context of evidence highlighting the potentially important role of acceptance in understanding affective abnormalities in clinical conditions such as schizophrenia.
尽管精神分裂症患者普遍存在情绪应对困难，但对于特定的调节策略，如抑制、重评和接纳，研究却很有限。在本研究中，让临床和对照组参与者观看视频剪辑，同时分别采用这三种不同的情绪调节策略（平衡）之一或被动观看条件来诱发负面情绪。情绪的体验和表达成分分别使用自我报告和面部肌电图进行量化。一个主要发现是，与对照组参与者不同，精神分裂症患者在采用接纳策略后，并不报告更愿意重新体验负面情绪。这些数据在强调接纳在理解精神分裂症等临床情况下的情感异常方面的潜在重要作用的证据背景下进行了讨论。
