Article Abstract

In the study of emotional memory bias in depressed individuals, most previous studies have used emotional materials, but there were significant differences in the effects of different emotion-inducing methods on face memory. In the present study, two experiments were conducted to explore the effects of different emotion-inducing methods on memory between healthy participants and non-clinically depressed participants. The results from experiment 1 showed that when feedback was used as induction, the memory performance of the non-clinical depression group was significantly higher than that of the healthy group under the condition of negative feedback. Under positive and neutral feedback, there were no significant differences between the two groups. In experiment 2, when emotional materials were used as a mode of induction, no significantly difference in each emotional condition between the healthy and depressed groups was found. The results of the present study show that different methods of emotional induction have different effects on depressed participants. Compared with the emotion induced by the emotional material, the non-clinical depressed participants had a better memory effect induced by negative emotional events.

Unlabelled: Dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by reading difficulties, yet there is growing evidence for coinciding social and emotional strengths. In our previous work, we found children with dyslexia displayed greater emotional facial behavior to affective stimuli than their well-reading peers, an enhancement that related to better social skills. Traditional measures provide static "snapshots" of emotional facial behavior but overlook important dynamic information about the face's movements that may confer interpersonal advantages.

Although psychopathic personality traits are widely reported to be related to reduced reactivity to emotion-eliciting situations, findings are not consistent. It has been argued that these differences could be related to variations in the way psychopathy is measured. To examine whether measurement variance resulting from the use of clinical assessment versus self-report assessment could be driving such differences, this systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the comparability of relations between psychopathic traits and responsiveness to emotion-inducing tasks for clinical versus self-report measures.

Sex differences in affective disorders suggest the role of circulating sex hormones in risk. Prior research has almost exclusively focused on distal symptom outcomes and negative emotions with mixed results. However, the emerging evidence of an etiological link between positive emotion responsivity and lifetime risk for affective disorders suggests that investigating the relationship between sex hormones and proximal, positive emotional reactivity needs further exploration.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates how reappraisal affects emotional experiences and related brain responses, focusing on the Late Positive Potential (LPP) during emotional stimuli presentations.
  • When participants reappraised negative images, the LPP was sustained longer, indicating a complex relationship between emotion regulation and neural responses rather than a simple decrease.
  • Despite exploring different brainwave characteristics, especially theta oscillations associated with cognitive control, no significant effects were found, suggesting that further research is needed to understand its role in emotional regulation.

Interpersonal emotion regulation commonly occurs in the context of close relationships. The present study examined whether accurately knowing the emotions that one's romantic partner would feel in a given situation was associated with the effectiveness of interpersonal emotion regulation attempts. One partner from 92 romantic dyads ( = 184) was randomly assigned to the role of the target, and the other was assigned to the role of the regulator.
