人际情绪调节的认知神经基础

Neurocognitive basis underlying interpersonal emotion regulation

人际情绪调节是社会互动一方有意改变另一方情绪状态的过程,它有利于个体的心理健康和社会关系发展,并且具有不同于自我情绪调节的独特优势。近年已有不少脑成像研究考察了人际情绪调节,在一定程度上揭示了该过程的脑神经基础:人际情绪调节涉及心智化系统(楔前叶、颞顶联合区、内侧前额叶等)、情绪反应系统(杏仁核、脑岛等)和情绪调控系统(外侧前额叶、内侧前额叶、扣带回等),其中心智化系统是不同于自我情绪调节的特异性脑区。未来研究可纳入不同人群作为研究对象,将脑观测技术与脑调控技术相结合,从单脑和双脑两个层面对人际情绪调节的认知神经机制深入探讨,为人际情绪调节在应用领域的实施和推广提供科学依据。

Interpersonal emotion regulation is the deliberate process in which the regulator influences the emotional state of another(i.e.,the target)during social interactions.It has been demonstrated that interpersonal emotion regulation contributes to individual well-being,fosters relationship development,and possesses unique advantages distinct from intrapersonal emotion regulation.In recent years,research on the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying interpersonal emotion regulation has gained momentum,providing some insights into the neural basis of this process.Specifically,interpersonal emotion regulation involves the participation of the mentalizing system(including the precuneus,the temporo-parietal junction,and the medial prefrontal cortex),the emotional response system(including the lateral prefrontal cortex,ventromedial prefrontal cortex,and cingulate gyrus),and the emotion regulation system(including the frontal and parietal lobes),with the mentalizing system being the core brain area.To advance the field,future research should focus on addressing current unanswered questions,involving diverse populations,and integrating brain observation and control techniques to comprehensively and deeply investigate the cognitive and neural mechanisms of interpersonal emotion regulation from both static(single-brain level)and dynamic(dual-brain level)perspectives,providing a scientific basis for training and intervention in interpersonal emotion regulation in applied domains.
