Buhle, J. T., Silvers, J. A., Wager, T. D., Lopez, R., Onyemekwu, C., Kober, H., Weber, J., & Ochsner, K. N. (2014). Cognitive reappraisal of emotion: A meta-analysis of human neuroimaging studies.

What this study supports

Supports the claim that reappraisal consistently engaged cognitive control regions and lateral temporal cortex and was accompanied by modulation of bilateral amygdala activity. Group-level activation in instructed laboratory tasks; it does not show how regulation unfolds for an individual in daily life.

Who was studied
48 neuroimaging studies of cognitive reappraisal, mostly down-regulation of negative affect.
Design
Meta-analysis
Level of evidence
Syntheses of controlled studies: meta-analyses and systematic reviews of experiments and trials.
