We hypothesized that an adaptive form of emotion regulation-cognitive reappraisal-would decrease negative emotion and increase support for conflict-resolution policies. In Study 1, Israeli participants were invited to a laboratory session in which they were randomly assigned to either a cognitive-reappraisal condition or a control condition; they were then presented with anger-inducing information related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Participants in the reappraisal condition were more supportive of conciliatory policies and less supportive of aggressive policies compared with participants in the control condition. In Study 2, we replicated these findings in responses to a real political event (the recent Palestinian bid for United Nations recognition). When assessed 1 week after training, participants trained in cognitive reappraisal showed greater support for conciliatory policies and less support for aggressive policies toward Palestinians compared with participants in a control condition. These effects persisted when participants were reassessed 5 months after training, and at both time points, negative emotion mediated the effects of reappraisal.
我们假设一种适应性的情绪调节形式——认知重评——可以减少消极情绪，并增加对解决冲突政策的支持。在研究 1 中，以色列参与者被邀请参加一个实验室会议，他们被随机分配到认知重评组或对照组；然后他们被呈现与以巴冲突相关的愤怒信息。与对照组相比，重评组的参与者更支持和解政策，不太支持激进政策。在研究 2 中，我们在对一个真实政治事件（最近巴勒斯坦争取联合国承认的尝试）的反应中复制了这些发现。在训练后 1 周评估时，与对照组相比，接受认知重评训练的参与者对和解政策的支持更大，对巴勒斯坦的激进政策的支持更小。这些影响在训练 5 个月后再次评估时仍然存在，并且在这两个时间点上，重评的效果都受到消极情绪的影响。
