“…Cognitive reappraisal, one of the most important cognitive strategies of emotion regulation, aims to reinterpret the meaning of an emotional event or stimulus (Buhle et al, 2014; Foti & Hajcak, 2008; Gross & John, 2003; Hajcak & Nieuwenhuis, 2006; Ochsner & Gross, 2005). Reappraisal appears to be highly effective in down‐regulating the experience of negative emotions with few cognitive and physiological costs (Gross, 1998, 2002; Hermann, Kress, & Stark, 2017; Ochsner, Silvers, & Buhle, 2012; Shafir, Schwartz, Blechert, & Sheppes, 2015; Silvers, Buhle, Ochsner, & Silvers, 2013). The effects of reappraisal aimed to decrease negative emotions are reflected behaviorally in the reduction of self‐reported negative experience (Staudinger, Erk, Abler, & Walter, 2009; Wager, Davidson, Hughes, Lindquist, & Ochsner, 2008), that is, reduced unpleasantness of, and arousal associated with, negative stimuli (Foti & Hajcak, 2008; Hajcak & Nieuwenhuis, 2006; Thiruchselvam, Blechert, Sheppes, Rydstrom, & Gross, 2011; Van Cauwenberge, Leeuwen, Hoppenbrouwers, & Wiersema, 2017; Yuan, Zhou, & Hu, 2014).…”
