Research conducted in the recent past have proposed total conviction as a factor associated with cognitive reappraisal that may produce changes in emotion and behavior. However, the factors that influence total conviction are not yet clearly identified. In this study, we focused on daily emotion regulation strategies and examined the relationship between emotion regulation strategies and total conviction. A total of 42 undergraduate and graduate students participated in this study. They measured their tendency toward daily emotion regulation strategies and then engaged in the cold pressor task (CPT) which is a distress tolerance task. Participants were then presented with information that encouraged them to engage in the task while enduring distress, creating a context for cognitive reappraisal of the task. Thereafter, they engaged in a second CPT. Finally, the degree of total conviction to the information that prompted reappraisal was measured. The results showed that total conviction in the experimental situation predicted behavior change. We found that the tendency to use routine cognitive reappraisal was not associated with total conviction, while the tendency to use expressive suppression would have a negative effect on total conviction. Furthermore, the expressive suppression tendency was found to moderate the relationship between total conviction and behavior change. These results indicate that the occurrence of total conviction in cognitive reappraisal leads to behavior change, though the tendency toward daily cognitive reappraisal is not related to the occurrence of total conviction in the experimental setting. The results also suggest that daily expressive suppression inhibits total conviction, particularly in situations where cognitive reappraisal is required.
最近进行的研究提出，完全确信是与认知重新评价相关的一个因素，认知重新评价可能会导致情绪和行为的变化。然而，影响完全确信的因素尚未明确确定。在本研究中，我们聚焦于日常情绪调节策略，并考察了情绪调节策略与完全确信之间的关系。共有42名本科生和研究生参与了本研究。他们测量了自己日常情绪调节策略的倾向，然后进行冷加压任务（CPT），这是一项痛苦耐受任务。随后，向参与者呈现鼓励他们在忍受痛苦的同时参与该任务的信息，从而为对该任务进行认知重新评价创造条件。此后，他们再次进行冷加压任务。最后，测量对促使重新评价的信息的完全确信程度。结果表明，实验情境中的完全确信预测了行为变化。我们发现，使用常规认知重新评价的倾向与完全确信无关，而使用表达抑制的倾向会对完全确信产生负面影响。此外，发现表达抑制倾向调节了完全确信与行为变化之间的关系。这些结果表明，认知重新评价中完全确信的出现会导致行为变化，尽管日常认知重新评价的倾向与实验环境中完全确信的出现无关。结果还表明，日常表达抑制会抑制完全确信，尤其是在需要认知重新评价的情况下。
