In everyday life, negative emotions can be implicitly regulated by positive stimuli, without any conscious cognitive engagement; however, the effects of such implicit regulation on mood and related neuro-mechanisms, remain poorly investigated in literature. Yet, improving implicit emotional regulation could reduce psychological burden and therefore be clinically relevant for treating psychiatric disorders with strong affective symptomatology.
Music training reduced the negative emotional state elicited by negative odours. However, such change was not reflected at the brain level.
In a context of affective rivalry a musical training enhances implicit regulatory processes. Our findings offer a first base for future studies on implicit emotion regulation in clinical populations.
在日常生活中,人们可以在无需任何有意识的认知参与的情况下,通过积极的刺激来进行情绪的内隐调节;然而,这种内隐调节对情绪和相关神经机制的影响在文献中仍研究甚少。尽管如此,改善内隐情绪调节能力可能会减轻心理负担,因此对于治疗具有强烈情感症状的精神障碍具有重要的临床意义。
音乐训练减少了由负面气味引起的负面情绪状态。然而,这种变化并没有反映在大脑水平上。
在情感竞争的情况下,音乐训练增强了内隐调节过程。我们的发现为未来在临床人群中进行内隐情绪调节的研究提供了初步基础。
