Neural characteristics of cognitive reappraisal success and failure: An ERP study

TLDR

Investigation of event‐related potential (ERP) characteristics of reappraisal success and of reappRAisal failure found that event-related potential is a major determinant of re-appraisal failure.

Abstract

Cognitive reappraisal, an important strategy of emotion regulation, can change emotional experience and attention to emotional information. However, not all individuals can deploy reappraisal strategies successfully. In the current study, we investigated event‐related potential (ERP) characteristics of reappraisal success and of reappraisal failure.
