Leveraging emotion regulation techniques to promote health and wellbeing in daily life
Público DepositedContenido Descargable
open in viewerGiven the youth mental health crisis, there is a pressing need to develop personalized interventions to promote emotion regulation and improve mental health in daily life. Research suggests that contingent self-esteem (i.e., self-esteem dependent on others' approval) is a risk factor for poor mental health, making it a potential target for intervention. This study investigated the neural mechanisms of social threat processing, which may underlie contingent self-esteem. Specifically, college students completed an ambiguous faces task during an fMRI scanning session. Participants’ self-esteem and experiences of recent life stressors were also assessed. Results showed that self-esteem (but not life stressors) was associated with differential amygdala activity during social threat processing. This project's findings may help refine future emotion regulation interventions.
