“…Second, given that participants in the current study completed three viewing paradigms, the number of trials within each paradigm was reduced to avoid fatigue. Although at least 24 trials were included in each cell for comparison, more than enough to ensure a stable LPP during affective picture processing (see Moran, Jendrusina, & Moser, 2013), future researchers should consider increasing the number of trials per condition to better represent estimates of neural response across valence categories and viewing paradigms.…”

It is widely believed that negative information is psychologically more meaningful than positive information, a phenomenon known generally as the negativity bias. However, findings concerning the possibility of a negativity bias in emotional picture processing have been mixed, with recent studies indicating the lack of such a bias in event-related brain potentials (ERPs) when pleasant and unpleasant images are equated for motivational relevance. Here, we investigated two factors that could influence the detection of a negativity bias: picture presentation paradigm and specific picture content. Across two studies, participants viewed pleasant-affiliative, pleasant-thrilling, unpleasant-threatening and neutral images presented in the context of oddball, blocked and random viewing paradigms. Across paradigms, emotional images elicited larger responses in the late positive potential (LPP) than did neutral images. A negativity bias was detected in the oddball paradigm and when thrilling, rather than affiliative, pleasant stimuli were used. Findings are discussed in terms of factors known to influence LPP amplitude and their relevance to differential effects across picture viewing paradigms.

“…We focused on females because a) previously reported sex differences in brain structure and function, including emotion processing and regulation, could obscure results (Canli, Desmond, Zhao, & Gabrieli, 2002;Cahill et al, 2001;McRae, Ochsner, Mauss, Gabrieli, & Gross, 2008) and b) women are twice as likely to suffer from anxiety-related problems (Kessler et al, 2005;Lewinsohn, Gotlib, Lewinsohn, Seeley, & Allen, 1998), thus making them a particularly clinically relevant 1 A subset of the current sample was reported on elsewhere as part of a psychometric investigation of the LPP (Moran, Jendrusina, & Moser, 2013).

Positively reinterpreting negative experiences is important for psychological well-being and represents a key mechanism of cognitive-behavioral therapies for emotional problems. Yet, little is known about the neural mechanisms that underlie this process and how they relate to clinically relevant individual differences. Here we demonstrate using event-related potentials (ERPs) that positively reappraising distress-inducing images is associated with early increases in frontal control activity and later decreases in parietal arousal-related activity. Moreover, we show that people's chronic tendencies to reappraise versus worry modulate neural activity in opposing directions-trait reappraisal predicts decreases in parietal arousal-related activity during positive reappraisal implementation whereas worry predicts increases in the same waveform. These findings provide novel insights into the neural time course of positive reappraisal. They also speak to the potential clinical utility of neurophysiological measures as relatively inexpensive, noninvasive biomarkers that could serve as risk indicators and treatment mediators.
