Construct Validity of the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire in Meditating and Nonmeditating Samples (2008, result): “Findings for the describing facet also are consistent with recent neuroscience data suggesting that verbal labeling of affect modulates brain responses to emotional stimuli in normal volunteers (Hariri, Bookheimer, & Mazziotta, 2000; Lieberman et al., 2007).”
Don't fear ‘fear conditioning’: Methodological considerations for the design and analysis of studies on human fear acquisition, extinction, and return of fear (2017, neutral): “…unintentionally trigger other memory processes (i.e. reconsolidation after reactivation through CS+ presentation during the rating; Schiller et al., 2010), or directly influence the strength of the developing CR due to the emotion regulating effect of affect labelling (Lieberman et al., 2007).”
Maximizing Exposure Therapy: An Inhibitory Learning Approach (2014, neutral): “A number of studies have shown that linguistic processing activates a region of the cortex, the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, that reduces activity in the amygdala, thereby attenuating anxious responding (Lieberman et al., 2007).”
RULER: A Theory-Driven, Systemic Approach to Social, Emotional, and Academic Learning (2019, background): “…helps children become consciously aware of their own and others’ emotions, communicate effectively about emotions, and better regulate emotions and their behavior (e.g., Feldman Barrett, Lindquist, & Gendron, 2007; Harre, 1986; Hesse & Cicchetti, 1982; Lieberman et al., 2007; Russell, 1990).”
The Common Neural Basis of Exerting Self-Control in Multiple Domains (2009, neutral): “…are beginning to incorporate such designs into their research to explore unintentional emotion regulation (Hariri et al., 2000; Hariri et al., 2003; Lieberman et al., 2007). e rapidly growing literature focusing on the neural correlates of emotion regulation fairly consistently implicates the…”
Prefrontal-subcortical pathways mediating successful emotion regulation. (2008, neutral): “Second, studies of reappraisal and other cognitivemeans of regulating affective responses (Cunningham and Zelazo, 2007; Lieberman et al., 2007) have consistently activated rvlPFC.”
RESILIENCE TRAINING THAT CAN CHANGE THE BRAIN (2018, background): “Simply putting feelings into words activates the LPFC, which in turn reduces activation in the amygdala (Lieberman et al., 2007; Torrisi, Lieberman, Bookheimer, & Altshuler, 2013).”
Optimizing inhibitory learning during exposure therapy. (2008, neutral): “…activity in the ventrolateral PFC increases, activity in the amygdala decreases (Hariri, Bookheimer, & Mazziotta, 2000; Hariri, Mattay, Tessitore, Fera, & Weinberger, 2003; Lieberman et al., 2007; Lieberman, Hariri, Jarcho, Eisenberger, & Bookheimer, 2005; Ochsner, Bunge, Gross, & Gabrieli, 2002).”
Psychological, Relational, and Emotional Effects of Self-Disclosure After Conversations With a Chatbot (2018, background): “This switch to a cognitive nature reduces the intensity and power of the negative emotion (Lieberman et al., 2007).”
Emotion and the Prefrontal Cortex: An Integrative Review (2017, background): “The VLPFC in particular has been associated with attaching verbal labels to emotions (Lieberman et al., 2007).”
Lay Theories of Emotion Transience and the Search for Happiness: A Fresh Perspective on Affect Regulation (2009, neutral): “We pretested the materials, and because the act of labeling a mood can potentially attenuate the actual affective experience (Lieberman et al. 2007), we had coders (rather than participants themselves) rate the positivity of the descriptions.”
