The Study on Brief Reappraisal Interventions
The study discussed in this podcast episode focused on a multinational study of brief emotional regulation interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Over 20,000 participants across 87 countries were involved, and the study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two forms of reappraisal (repurposing and reconstrual) in changing emotions. The results showed that both forms of reappraisal were effective in decreasing negative emotions and increasing positive emotions compared to control conditions. While there were no significant differences between the two types of reappraisal, the study demonstrated that reappraisal interventions could have a positive impact on emotions during challenging circumstances like the pandemic.
