Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the basic psychological and neural mechanisms underlying the social regulation of emotion - that is, how one person's actions can impact, or regulate - the emotions of another person - and how this ability changes with practice. As such, this study is not designed to directly address clinical health outcomes and provide no treatment or intervention.

Conditions

  • Emotions
  • Rumination

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Social regulation

Participants will be instructed to help another person think about their negative events differently using an emotion regulation strategy called reappraisal.

BEHAVIORAL

Self regulation

Participants will be instructed to think about their negative events by reframing the meaning of the event. This is a typical strategy in emotion regulation research known as reappraisal.
