Cognitive Coping Style Modulates Neural Responses to Emotional Faces – a 3t Fmri Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction: Repression designates coping strategies that aim to shield the organism from distressing stimuli by disregarding their aversive characteristics. In contrast, sensitization comprises coping strategies employed to reduce situational uncertainty, e.g. analyzing the environment. FMRI was used to study neural correlates of coping styles during the perception of threatening and non-threatening socially relevant information.

High responsivity to threat during the initial stage of perception in repression: a 3 T fMRI study.
Repression designates coping strategies such as avoidance, or denial that aim to shield the organism from threatening stimuli. Derakshan et al. have proposed the vigilance-avoidance theory of repressive coping. It is assumed that repressors have an initial rapid vigilant response triggering physiological responses to threat stimuli. In the following second stage repressors manifest avoidant cog...
متن کاملAttention Modulates Neural Responses to Unpredictable Emotional Faces in Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex
Unpredictability about upcoming emotional events disrupts our ability to prepare for them and ultimately results in anxiety. Here, we investigated how attention modulates the neural responses to unpredictable emotional events. Brain activity was recorded using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) while participants performed a variation of the emotional task. Behaviorally, we reported a...
متن کاملInfluence of Repressive Coping Style on Cortical Activation during Encoding of Angry Faces
BACKGROUND Coping plays an important role for emotion regulation in threatening situations. The model of coping modes designates repression and sensitization as two independent coping styles. Repression consists of strategies that shield the individual from arousal. Sensitization indicates increased analysis of the environment in order to reduce uncertainty. According to the discontinuity hypot...
متن کاملSex differences in the response to emotional distraction: an event-related fMRI investigation.
Evidence has suggested that women have greater emotional reactivity than men. However, it is unclear whether these differences in basic emotional responses are also associated with differences in emotional distractibility, and what the neural mechanisms that implement differences in emotional distractibility between women and men are. Functional MRI recording was used in conjunction with a work...
متن کاملAttachment-security priming attenuates amygdala activation to social and linguistic threat.
A predominant expectation that social relationships with others are safe (a secure attachment style), has been linked with reduced threat-related amygdala activation. Experimental priming of mental representations of attachment security can modulate neural responding, but the effects of attachment-security priming on threat-related amygdala activation remains untested. Using functional magnetic...
