In the emotion regulation process more than one strategy is often used, though studies continue to rely on manipulation of alone. This study compares effects Combined Cognitive Reappraisal (CCR: acceptance and reappraise via perspective-taking) suppression using Trier Social Stress Test (TSST). One hundred participants were randomly assigned two groups subjective, physiological, behavioural dat...

CONTEXT Reduced neural responses to others' distress is hypothesized to play a critical role in conduct problems coupled with callous-unemotional traits, whereas increased neural responses to affective stimuli may accompany conduct problems without callous-unemotional traits. Heterogeneity of affective profiles in conduct problems may account for inconsistent neuroimaging findings in this popul...

This paper presents a meta-analytic study of the relationship between overall subjective well-being (SWB), cognitive SWB, affective and job performance ratings. The examined moderator effect source measure (self-report vs. supervisory ratings). database consists 34 independent samples (n = 5,352) using ratings 38 12,086) self-reported performance. These were located through electronic manual se...

BACKGROUND Empathy is crucial for successful social relationships. Despite its importance for social interactions, little is known about empathy in schizophrenia. This study investigated the degree to which schizophrenia patients can accurately infer the affective state of another person (i.e. empathic accuracy). METHOD A group of 30 schizophrenia patients and 22 healthy controls performed an...

Words are frequently used as stimuli in cognitive psychology experiments, for example, in recognition memory studies. In these experiments, it is often desirable to control for the words' psycholinguistic properties because differences in such properties across experimental conditions might introduce undesirable confounds. In order to avoid confounds, studies typically check to see if various a...

This study examined listener attitudes toward 7 speakers with dysarthria who implemented 3 speech supplementation strategies (topic cues, alphabet cues, and combined topic and alphabet cues) and a habitual speech control condition. Findings were similar, but not identical, to intelligibility results published in 2 earlier papers (K. C. Hustad, J. Auker, N. Natale, and R. Carlson, 2003; K. C. Hu...

We describe a novel method for measuring affective language in historical texts by expanding an affective lexicon and jointly adapting it to prior language stages. We automatically construct a lexicon for word-emotion association of 18th and 19th century German which is then validated against expert ratings. Subsequently, this resource is used to identify distinct emotional patterns and trace l...

Abstract This paper presents a collection of 350 000 German lemmatised words, rated on four psycholinguistic affective attributes. All ratings were obtained via a supervised learning algorithm that can automatically calculate a numerical rating of a word. We applied this algorithm to abstractness, arousal, imageability and valence. Comparison with human ratings reveals high correlation across a...

In a large scale study on 843 transcripts of Technology, Entertainment and Design (TED) talks, the authors address the relation between word usage and categorical affective ratings of lectures by a large group of internet users. Users rated the lectures by assigning one or more predefined tags which relate to the affective state evoked in the audience (e. g., ‘fascinating’, ‘funny’, ‘courageous...
