We investigated gender differences in emotion regulation depending on the cognitive disclosure of negative emotive content of 3 different texts after their presentations. For the purposes of the study we varied order between (i) completing of special checklists, created for specification of emotive and arousing attributes of the text contents and (ii) readings of autonomic activity. Results suggested that completing of the checklists increased engagement in processing of the most arousing text's content in men, while no effect was found in women, who were proposed to be engaged in content processing already during the text presentation. Results of the present study are discussed in the context of the recent findings on the emotional regulation. |
