“…Since no microstate differences emerged from the repeated application of the ER strategies, the training effect might have been too small to detect, especially because it is smaller for down- than up-regulation 79 . Relating this finding to EEG studies of re-exposure 36 , 80 is not appropriate because we presented new stimuli in the last block. Moreover, studies on ER training often either focus on behavioral outcomes or on improving ER by training a different skill altogether 81 – 84 .…”

In electroencephalography (EEG), microstates are distributions of activity across the scalp that persist for several tens of milliseconds before changing into a different pattern. Microstate analysis is a way of utilizing EEG as both temporal and spatial imaging tool, but has rarely been applied to task-based data. This study aimed to conceptually replicate microstate findings of valence and emotional arousal processing and investigate the effects of emotion regulation on microstates, using data of an EEG paradigm with 107 healthy adults who actively viewed emotional pictures, cognitively detached from them, or suppressed facial reactions. Within the first 600 ms after stimulus onset only the comparison of viewing positive and negative pictures yielded significant results, caused by different electrodes depending on the microstate. Since the microstates associated with more and less emotionally arousing pictures did not differ, sequential processing could not be replicated. When extending the analysis to 2000 ms after stimulus onset, differences were exclusive to the comparison of viewing and detaching from negative pictures. Intriguingly, we observed the novel phenomenon of a microstate difference that could not be attributed to single electrodes. This suggests that microstate analysis can detect differences beyond those detected by event-related potential analysis.

“…We also have to assume that the expected training effect might have been too small to detect. Relating this finding to EEG studies of re-exposure (Chen et al, 2020;Thiruchselvam et al, 2011) is not appropriate, as we did not use the same stimuli in the last block as in the blocks before. Moreover, studies on ER training either focus on behavioral outcomes or aim to improve ER by training a different skill altogether (Jazaieri et al, 2014;Nesayan et al, 2017;Schuppert et al, 2009;Wadlinger & Isaacowitz, 2011).…”

In electroencephalography (EEG), microstates are distributions of activity across the scalp that persist for several tens of milliseconds before changing into a different topographical pattern. Microstate analysis is a promising way of utilizing EEG as both temporal and spatial imaging tool, but has mostly been applied to resting state data. This study aimed to conceptually replicate microstate findings of valence and arousal processing and to investigate the effects of emotion regulation on microstates, using existing data of an EEG paradigm with 107 healthy adults who were to actively view emotional pictures, cognitively detach from them, or suppress facial reactions. EEG data were clustered into microstates based on topographical similarity and compared on global and electrode level between conditions of interest. Within the first 600 ms after stimulus onset only the comparison of viewing positive and negative pictures yielded significant global results, caused by different electrodes depending on the microstate. Since the microstates associated with more and less arousing pictures did not differ from each other, sequential processing of valence and arousal information could not be replicated. When extending the analysis to 2,000 ms after stimulus onset, global microstate differences were exclusive to the comparison of viewing and detaching from negative pictures. Intriguingly, we observed the novel phenomenon of a significant global difference that could not be attributed to single electrodes on the local level. This suggests that microstate analysis can detect differences beyond those detected by event-related potential analysis, simply by not confining the analysis to a few electrodes.

“…Implicit ER is a goal-driven process in which individuals adjust their emotions unconsciously or automatically. Research in adults has revealed that in comparison to the explicit use of adaptive ER strategies, employing implicit ER with the same strategies can also reduce subjective experiences or physiological indicators of negative emotions without the substantial involvement of subjective endeavors and consumption of cognitive resources [34][35][36][37]. In contrast, because the processes of explicit ER are associated with greater cognitive and physiological costs than those of implicit ER, the implementation of explicit ER may not always be successful and realize positive effects in regulating emotions [20].…”

The development of adaptive emotion regulation (ER) plays a pivotal role in adolescent mental health and socio-emotional adaptation. Dispositional optimism, as an important protective factor for adolescent adjustment, may affect adolescent ER and subsequently influence adaptive outcomes. In this review, the changes and challenges, the role of ER in socio-emotional adjustment, and the developmental characteristics of implicit and explicit ER during adolescence are described. Subsequently, by employing the top-down model of personality, coping, and emotion, how dispositional optimism may affect psychological adjustment from the perspective of ER is analyzed. Furthermore, how the differences in adolescents’ dispositional optimism may be reflected by the differences in implicit ER is discussed. Finally, recommendations for future research are outlined.
