Results Ratings of negative emotions The main effect of the regulation type was found to be highly significant ( F (2,174) = 303, p < 0.001, η p 2 = 0.777): participants reported fewer negative feelings in the reappraisal (3.0 ± 1.1) and distraction blocks (3.0 ± 1.0) when compared with the passive view (no-regulation) block (5.6 ± 1.1, p s < 0.001), whereas the negative feelings between the reappraisal and distraction blocks did not differ ( p = 1.000).
