Abstract

Emotion malleability beliefs (EMB) have been shown to be a potential predictor of cognitive reappraisal use. However, the nature of the relationship between EMB and cognitive reappraisal use remains unclear. The present study manipulated EMB with an online intervention and measured participants' EMB and cognitive reappraisal before the intervention as well as at three follow-ups. Eighty-six late adolescents who scored in the bottom 50% on EMB in a previous investigation were randomly assigned to the intervention group (increasing EMB) and the control group. The intervention significantly increased EMB, and this effect remained one week and one month after the intervention. More importantly, the results showed that the lag paths from a previous measure of EMB on later cognitive reappraisal were positive and significant. The cross-lagged paths from cognitive reappraisal to EMB were not significant. The intervention to increase EMB showed significant indirect effects on cognitive reappraisal via EMB. The findings not only support that the intervention of EMB had a sustained effect but also evidenced that EMB had a causal effect on cognitive reappraisal. This suggests a promising way to enhance cognitive reappraisal for application in the treatment of clinical emotion disorders.

情绪可塑性信念促使认知重新评估：青少年在线纵向干预的证据。

情绪可塑性信念（EMB）已被证明是认知再评价使用的潜在预测因子。然而，EMB与认知再评价使用之间关系的本质仍不清楚。本研究通过在线干预来操纵EMB，并在干预前以及三次随访中测量参与者的EMB和认知重评。86名在之前的调查中EMB得分处于后50%的晚期青少年被随机分配到干预组（增加EMB）和对照组。干预显著增加了EMB，这种效果在干预后一周和一个月仍然存在。更重要的是，结果表明，先前的EMB测量对后来的认知重评价的滞后路径是积极的和显著的。从认知重评到EMB的交叉滞后路径不显著。增加EMB的干预对通过EMB进行的认知重评有显著的间接影响。研究结果不仅支持EMB干预具有持续效果，而且证明了EMB对认知重评价有因果效应。这为加强认知重评在临床情绪障碍治疗中的应用提供了一条有希望的途径。
