“…In terms of how a stimulus is appraised, perspective-taking reappraisal is a case of detached reappraisal (also called as self-focused) that reinterprets one’s subjective relationship to emotional events in a detached and unemotional way (Qi et al, 2017 ). Consistent with the meta-analysis by Webb et al ( 2012 ), our recent ERP study also found that detached reappraisal supported by implementation intention led to lower physiological responses to disgusting stimuli than positive reappraisal supported by implementation intention that requires a reinterpretation of an emotionally charged situation in a constructive manner (Ma et al, 2019 ).…”

Implementation intention has proven effective in regulating intense emotions but is found to be difficult when instructed regulation is used. Here, we aim to test whether automatic reappraisal-based implementation intention (RII) downregulates intense negative emotion more efficiently than controlled reappraisal (CR) using a two-phase event-related potential (ERP) experiment. In the regulation phase, both RII and CR decreased subjective experiences of negative emotion relative to passive watching, irrespective of emotional intensity. Moreover, RII reduced the central-parietal late positive potential (LPP) amplitudes for both intensities in the 300-1,700-ms epoch after picture onset, whereas CR reduced LPP amplitudes just in the 500-700-ms interval. Moreover, the application of RII but not CR produced a reliable long-term LPP attenuation compared to passive watching in the unexpected re-exposure phase. These findings demonstrate that reappraisal-based implementation intention yields an earlier and more sustainable emotion regulatory effects than controlled reappraisal.

“…Cognitive reappraisal (CR)—changing one's views on a situation to influence emotional response—is an effective method of emotion regulation (Ma et al, 2019; McRae & Gross, 2020). Although previous studies have found many factors including the stimulus‐, situation‐, dose‐, timing‐, individual‐, and culture‐related ones that could influence CR's regulation efficacy (McRae & Gross, 2020), studies on the content‐related factors (i.e., the reinterpretation ways or strategies that the CR took; McRae et al, 2012) are relatively rare.…”

“…The implementation intention, the socalled "if-then" plan, is based on goal intention and employs a specific implementing method to achieve the goal, which makes individual know when, where, and how to achieve the goal, such as "I will not feel scared. And if I see a spider, then I will remain calm and relaxed" [13,14]. A rehearsal of the goal and the if-then plan then leads to the formation of contingency between the if-situation and the then-response.…”

Anxiety is characterized by anticipatory emotions as a response to potential threats. Despite knowledge of the effectivity of implementation intention in regulating emotion evoked by aversive stimuli, whether this method is effective in regulating anticipatory anxiety for potential threats remains unknown. To bridge this gap, this study applied a cue-target paradigm to induce anticipatory anxiety toward potential negative pictures among participants. Specifically, emotion feeling (no-regulation), goal intention, goal intention+response and implementation intention were administered to different groups to explore their regulatory effects on anticipatory anxiety. The results demonstrated a unique regulatory effect of implementation intention on anticipatory anxiety, regardless of the type of cue. However, this effect is absent under the goal intention and goal intention+response conditions. These findings suggest that implementation intention is effective in downregulating anticipatory anxiety. In addition, its regulatory effect cannot be attributed to a mere goal setup or the setup of goal and response combination, but should be accounted for by the setup of the situation-response contingency in addition to goal representation.
