Abstract

According to the emotional regulation model proposed by Gross in 2007 [1], the two main emotional regulation strategies are cognitive reappraisal and expression inhibition respectively. Previous studies have suggested that cognitive reappraisal has a better emotional regulation effect than expression inhibition, and expression inhibition has a negative effect on psychological function. However, in recent years, more and more experiments have proved that this conclusion is culturally specific, and the conclusion may be different for subjects in western culture and Eastern culture. In this paper, the ERP method was adopted to adjust 28 Chinese college students, and the eeg data under two emotional regulation strategies were collected and analyzed. The study found that for the subjects in the Chinese cultural background, both expression inhibition strategies and cognitive reassessment strategies can effectively reduce negative emotional experience. In addition, Chinese subjects used expression inhibition strategy to reduce negative emotions significantly faster than cognitive reappraisal, but expression inhibition regulation required more cognitive resources.
