For example, we say to ourselves maybe he just lost a valuable item or get a cancer diagnosis, thus venting his frustration on us. This method is called a reassessment of emotion.
The team of researchers from Stanford University consisting of Jens Blechert, Gal Sheppes, Carolina In Tella, Hants Williams, and James J. Gross wanted to study the efficiency and speed of re-assessment process emotions.
"It's kind of a race between information that is emotional and review information in the brain. Emotional processing comes from the rear to the front of the brain, and the resulting revaluation in the front to the back of the brain which modify the emotional process" as reported by Blechert said Thursday Eurekalert.org (17/01/2011).
Blechert and his colleagues conducted two experiments to study this process. Study participants were shown a series of faces and tested reactions. In one session, they were asked to imagine people who are having a bad day, but it has nothing to do with participants at all.
"We train the participants a minute to not consider these emotions personally, but directed to the person who is angry," said Blechert.
They found that once a person has adjusted its assessment of other people, they are not disturbed by the angry person's face when it is raised again. When participants were asked only feel the emotion shown by the angry faces, they become upset because those faces.
In the second study, the researchers recorded electrical activity in the brain and found that the revaluation of the signal to remove the negative emotions in people when looking at angry faces.
"If someone has been trained to do the assessment again, and knew his boss often has a bad mood, he can prepare yourself when met his superior. His boss could have screamed and shouted kepedanya, but he will be fine," said Blechert who also works as a an applicable
