MARINO, Julián; SILVA, Joaquín D.; LUNA, Fernando G.  e  MESAS, Alberto Acosta. Behavioral Evaluation of Emotional Regulation: reappraisal and Suppression Ability, and their relation to Executive-Semantic Control and Emotional Intelligence. Neuropsicologia Latinoamericana [online]. 2014, vol.6, n.3, pp. 55-65. ISSN 2075-9479.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5579/rnl.2014.0212.

An experimental task of emotional regulation strategies reappraisal and suppression was performed by inducing disgust, amusement, and neutral emotion, by audiovisual stimuli. An inter-group design was used, being formed 3 groups (suppression, reappraisal, attention to the stimulus). Each group consisted of 18 female college students and ages 18 and 25. Were used as dependent measures, categorical and dimensional self-reports, and film recording of facial expressions. Executive-semantic tests (Verbal Fluency, Executive Control Semantic Emotional Task) processing is applied, and scales that assessed self-reported manner, the daily use of regulation strategies (ERQ), self-perceived emotional intelligence (TMMS) and trait anxiety (STAI-R). The results suggest independence between effective regulation skills, and selfperceived daily use of regulation strategies, as well as the perceived ability of emotional control. However, both selfreported use of regulation strategies (ERQ), as the ability to self-perceive emotional control (TMMS), are associated with lower trait anxiety. In addition, self-perceived emotional intelligence could be moderating performance in down-regulation to negative emotions. Finally, the ability for the reappraisal is associated with skills in executive semantic processing to a greater extent than the ability to suppress.
