Determine whether repeated, guided practice across multiple laboratory sessions increases the behavioral efficacy of cognitive reappraisal strategies.
Assessed behavioral responses across four laboratory practice sessions involving down-regulation of emotional responses to aversive photos.
Allocated participants across three groups: psychological distancing training, reinterpretation training, or a no-regulation control group that viewed images without regulatory instructions.
Both psychological distancing and reinterpretation training produced significant reductions in self-reported negative affect over time.
Participants practicing psychological distancing exhibited reductions in negative affect during baseline trials responding naturally, exceeding reductions in the control group and ruling out habituation.
Only participants in the psychological distancing condition reported significant reductions in perceived daily life stress.
