Emotion is a component of human psychology. Emotion regulation (ER) is called regulating the way that emotion is experienced and expressed. Emotion regulation can be done automatically and in a controlled manner. Working memory (WM) is an executive function necessary for the functionality of daily life. Working memory models are built on optimum emotional state. Previous studies have found that emotional state influences the WM. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of ER skill on WM. For this, a disturbing video was watched for emotional stimulation and with that, the difference between the 2-back pre-post tests and the 2-back performance was observed. ADFES-BIV was applied to measure the emotion regulation skills. The results show that the people with good ER have less impairment in WM than those with poor ER. The main hypothesis is supported by both behavioral data and neuroimaging results. During the working memory task, an hyperactivation was observed in the right/left dlPFC and mPFC regions of the group with high emotion recognition scores compared to the lower group. Furthermore, our results show that trait anxiety level is also related to the emotion regulation skills. |
