碩士 === 輔仁大學 === 心理學系 === 106 === It is easy for people to regret things when they are impulsive. The main cause of impulsiveness is intense emotional fluctuations. I hope to find an effective way to control emotions and choose the direction of emotion regulation. Distraction is one of the means to effectively regulate negative emotions. It refers to the individual's removal of attention from the emotional situation. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether differences in cognitive load task distractions have different effects on negative emotional regulation, and whether distraction strategies have the same effect on different intensity emotional stimuli. In Experiment 1, whether the distraction task was different for different levels of negative emotions, it was found that the distraction task had a better adjustment effect for stronger negative emotions. In experiment 2, the experimental participants achieved different intensity cognitive loads by calculating different difficult math questions, and compared the effects of different degrees of negative emotion regulation, and no experimental results were obtained. Cognitive load tasks of different intensities have a regulating effect on negative emotions. Experiment 3, to verify whether the high cognitive load task has a true adjustment effect on negative emotions, and added a control group without distraction, and found that time has an effect on emotional calming, and cognitive load task has a true adjustment effect on emotional regulation. Studies have shown that distractions have a moderating effect on all negative emotions, a strong negative-sense-stimulus adjustment effect is better than a weak-negative emotion, and high cognitive load tasks have a true adjustment effect on strong negative-sense stimulation. Time has a certain influence on the effect of emotion regulation.
