The Neural Bases of Distraction and Reappraisal (2010, neutral): “The ventral striatum, which has a strong role in processing reward and positive affect, was more active in those that had greater reappraisal-related decreases in negative affect (McRae et al., 2008; Wager, Davidson, Hughes, Lindquist, & Ochsner, 2008).”
Revisiting gender differences: What we know and what lies ahead☆ (2015, background): “, view them from a different perspective), both genders were effective in down-regulating their negative emotional responses, but they used different brain activity in the process (McRae et al., 2008).”
Understanding resilience (2013, background): “Neural data suggest that women might employ positive emotions to help them regulate their emotions to a larger extent than men; it is possible that in men, use of emotion regulation is more automatic (McRae et al., 2008).”
Emotion regulation and psychopathology: the role of gender. (2012, background): “…1999), the therapies that teach these strategies and show reductions in psychopathology (e.g., Beck et al. 1979, Hayes et al. 2011), and the experimental evidence that inducing people to engage in reappraisal or acceptance lowers subjective distress (e.g., Kuehner et al. 2009, McRae et al. 2008)?”
What’s Love Got to Do with It? A Longitudinal Study of the Culture of Companionate Love and Employee and Client Outcomes in a Long-term Care Setting (2014, result): “…might have influenced our results through either feeling or normative mechanisms, particularly given previous research showing that there are differences between men and women in emotional expression, regulation, and susceptibility to emotional contagion (see McRae et al., 2008, for example).”
Prefrontal-subcortical pathways mediating successful emotion regulation. (2008, neutral): “Striatal activity has been reported in reappraisal studies, although its functional role has not been clarified ( McRae et al., 2008a; Ochsner et al., 2002, 2004; van Reekum et al., 2007).”
The development of emotion regulation: an fMRI study of cognitive reappraisal in children, adolescents and young adults. (2012, methodology): “Data from a subset of the young adult participants in this sample have been reported elsewhere, combined with data not reported here to investigate gender differences in emotion regulation (McRae et al., 2008).”
Functional imaging studies of emotion regulation: A synthetic review and evolving model of the cognitive control of emotion (2012, neutral): “HYA Dec Both Unclear Photos Early∗ No McRae et al.(211) HYA Dec Neg Reint Photos Early Yes McRae et al.”
