The present study investigated whether counter-regulation in affective processing is triggered by emotions. Automatic attention allocation to valent stimuli was measured in the context of positive and negative affective states. Valence biases were assessed by comparing the detection of positive versus negative words in a visual search task (Experiment 1) or by comparing interference effects of positive and negative distractor words in an emotional Stroop task (Experiment 2). Imagining a hypothetical emotional situation (Experiment 1) or watching romantic versus depressing movie clips (Experiment 2) increased attention allocation to stimuli that were opposite in valence to the current emotional state. Counter-regulation is assumed to reflect a basic mechanism underlying implicit emotion regulation.
本研究旨在探讨情绪是否会引发情感加工中的反向调节。在积极和消极的情绪状态下，测量了对有价值刺激的自动注意力分配。通过在视觉搜索任务中比较正性词和负性词的检测（实验 1），或者在情绪 Stroop 任务中比较正性和负性干扰词的干扰效应（实验 2），评估了效价偏差。想象一个假设的情绪情境（实验 1）或观看浪漫与压抑的电影片段（实验 2）会增加对与当前情绪状态相反的刺激的注意力分配。反向调节被认为反映了一种潜在的情绪调节的基本机制。
