New publication on emotion regulation

The study investigated how rumination and reappraisal as emotion regulation strategies affect psychophysiological responses to repeated social stress.

Rumination increased negative emotions and prevented physiological habituation, as shown by stable cortisol and heart rate responses. Reappraisal unexpectedly reduced perceived coping abilities in men and prolonged noradrenergic stress responses, but did not affect cortisol recovery or habituation. Overall, the findings suggest that rumination and reappraisal have distinct effects on adaptation to repeated stress. You can find the paper here.
