Reappraisal modulates the electrocortical response to unpleasant pictures (2006, unknown): “…have found that reappraisal of negative events is associated with increased activity in prefrontal brain areas involved in cognitive control and decreased activity in the amygdala and other brain areas involved in emotional response (Ochsner et al., 2002; Ochsner & Gross, 2004; Phan et al., 2005).”
Attachment-style differences in the ability to suppress negative thoughts: Exploring the neural correlates (2005, result): “The results fit well with other neuroscientific studies of emotion regulation (e.g., Ochsner and Gross, 2004), which suggests that emotional processes are modulated by top – down control from the OFC and PFC and bottom – up processes in the anterior temporal pole and hippocampus.”
The cognitive control of emotion. (2005, background): “inattention to emotional stimuli [19‐22,25] Performing distracting secondary task [31‐35] Attention to and judgement of emotional vs. non-emotional stimulus attributes [23,24,26‐28] Anticipatory/ expectancydriven emotion [37‐40,42‐46] Top-down appraisal [ 17 ]”
Resisting Everything except Temptation: Evidence and an Explanation for Domain–specific Impulsivity (2012, background): “The same psychological distancing strategy has been shown to facilitate self-control in other domains, including emotion regulation (Kross & Ayduk, 2008; Kross, Ayduk, & Mischel, 2005; Kross, Duckworth, Ayduk, Tsukayama, & Mischel, in press; Ochsner & Gross, 2004).”
The neural architecture of emotion regulation (2007, background): “Regions of orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), medial PFC (MPFC), ACC, and dorsolateral PFC (dlPFC) may be more active during distraction (Frankenstein et al., 2001; Tracey et al., 2002; Valet et al., 2004), although it is not yet clear whether these activations reflect processes supporting performance of t”
Trait emotional intelligence and the cognitive appraisal of stressful events : an exploratory study (2008, background): “Indeed, one particularly powerful stress regulation strategy involves ‘‘changing the way we think in order to change the way we feel” ( Ochsner & Gross, 2004, p. 229 ).”
Cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire - development of a short 18-item version (CERQ-short). (2006, background): “Thompson, 1994). Research has shown that a particularly powerful category of emotion regulation involves the cognitive way of handling the intake of emotionally arousing information (e.g., Thompson, 1991; Ochsner & Gross, 2004, 2005 ).”
TARGET ARTICLE: Selective Investment Theory: Recasting the Functional Significance of Close Relationships (2006, unknown): “18See Ochsner and Gross (2004) for a model of cognitive reappraisal that appears compatible with our hypothesized emotion-regulating function of the social bond, and that is supported by both behavioral and neurological evidence. ductively from investments, may affect bond strength.”
Aging and motivated cognition: the positivity effect in attention and memory. (2005, background): “Research with younger adults suggests that mechanisms used to regulate emotions are implemented by some of the same brain regions as mechanisms used to control cognition [13].”
Mindful emotion regulation: An integrative review. (2009, background): “It is thought to occur before emotional response tendencies become fully activated (Gross & John, 2003; Ochsner & Gross, 2004), and is thus able to alter the entire subsequent emotion trajectory.”
Reflecting upon Feelings: An fMRI Study of Neural Systems Supporting the Attribution of Emotion to Self and Other (2004, background): “…Frith, 2003; Frith & Frith, 1999) and in the representation of meta-states of self-awareness, thought to be necessary for reflecting upon (Lane & McRae, in press) and regulating (Ochsner, Ray, Robertson, Cooper, Chopra, Gabrieli, & Gross, in press; Ochsner & Gross, 2004) one's own emotional state.”
For better or for worse: neural systems supporting the cognitive down- and up-regulation of negative emotion (2004, background): “…is not likely to involve the retrieval of emotion knowledge per se, but rather may involve mediating interference between negative bottom-up appraisals of stimuli and neutralizing top–down reappraisals of them (Bechara et al., 2000; Ochsner and Gross, 2004; O'Doherty et al., 2003; Rolls, 2000).”
The Role of Cognitive Control in Older Adults' Emotional Well-Being (2008, background): “Controlling emotions through cognitive processing requires the appraisal of affective information (Ochsner & Gross, 2004) and the alignment of cognition with emotional goals (Mather & Carstensen, 2005; Mather & Knight, 2005).”
The role of emotional dysregulation in perfectionism and psychological distress. (2006, background): “Ochsner and Gross (2004) described five types of emotion regulation strategies, one or more of which might be beneficial in treating perfectionistic clients: situation selection or situation modification to modify appraisal inputs or cues regarding emotionally relevant situations, attentional…”
