Self-Regulation01:25

Self-Regulation

308
Self-regulation, also known as self-control, encompasses a range of cognitive and behavioral processes that allow individuals to adjust their internal states and outward actions to align with socially acceptable norms and long-term goals. It plays a fundamental role in adaptive functioning, from resisting impulsive behaviors to persisting through challenging tasks. While its benefits are widely recognized, self-regulation is not limitless. Muraven and Baumeister's theory posits that...

The Influence of Cognition on Affect01:29

The Influence of Cognition on Affect

267
Cognition plays a pivotal role in shaping emotional experiences, as demonstrated by Schachter and Singer’s two-factor theory of emotion. According to this model, emotion arises from a combination of physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation. The body’s physiological response to stimuli is ambiguous and only gains emotional significance through cognitive labeling. For instance, an increased heart rate and adrenaline surge while standing near an attractive person may be...

Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused01:20

Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused

670
Emotion-focused coping refers to a set of strategies aimed at managing the emotional impact of stressors, rather than directly addressing their causes. This approach involves altering one's emotional response to stressful situations to reduce their psychological effects. For example, individuals might talk with a friend or engage in activities like journaling to express their feelings. Such actions can help achieve emotional clarity or release, providing the psychological stability needed...

Self-Discrepancy Theory

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

45.0K
People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Bullying

8.9K
A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Summary

Individuals with problematic internet use (PIU) struggle with explicit emotion regulation but show intact implicit emotion regulation. Neural findings suggest altered ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmpfc) and orbitofrontal cortex (ofc) connectivity in PIU.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychology
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Emotion regulation comprises explicit and implicit processes.
  • Problematic internet use (PIU) is linked to cognitive control deficits, potentially impairing explicit emotion regulation.
  • Implicit emotion regulation, less cognitively demanding, may be preserved in PIU.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare explicit and implicit emotion regulation performance in individuals with PIU.
  • To investigate the neural mechanisms underlying emotion regulation in PIU using fNIRS.
  • To explore the role of ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmpfc) and orbitofrontal cortex (ofc) in PIU emotion regulation.

Main Methods:

  • Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) was used to assess brain activity.
  • Behavioral assessments measured explicit and implicit emotion regulation performance.
  • Analysis focused on group differences in performance and neural connectivity.

Main Results:

  • Explicit emotion regulation was less effective than implicit regulation overall.
  • Individuals with PIU showed poorer explicit emotion regulation performance.
  • No significant group differences in implicit emotion regulation performance were found.
  • The PIU group exhibited reduced vmpfc activation and vmpfc-ofc connectivity.
  • vmpfc-ofc connectivity mediated the relationship between PIU severity and explicit emotion regulation.

Conclusions:

  • Explicit emotion regulation is impaired in individuals with PIU, while implicit regulation remains intact.
  • The vmpfc and ofc are crucial neural correlates for emotion regulation in PIU.
  • Findings highlight distinct neural pathways for explicit and implicit emotion regulation in PIU.
