From: Emotion regulation through bifocal processing of fear inducing and disgust inducing stimuli
Regulatory effects of bifocal processing on subjective negativity. Left two bars: difference scores depicting the standardized mean difference between negativity ratings from the viewing condition minus the regulation condition for fear inducing pictures and for disgust inducing pictures during fMRI scanning. Rightmost bar: standardized mean difference between SUD ratings for the most aversive picture before tapping and after tapping. Greater regulation-related reductions in subjective negativity were observed for disgust inducing pictures versus fear inducing pictures. The effects of emotion regulation through visualized body tapping for both fear and disgust did not differ from regulation-related reductions in SUD during actual body tapping. SUD: subjective units of discomfort. fMRI: functional magnetic resonance imaging
