Mean change in affect ratings (and standard error) as a function of emotion regulation for the two groups.

<p>A greater mean change in affect rating is indicative of more successful emotion regulation (i.e. a larger reduction in affect ratings for the emotion regulation compared to not regulating emotion).</p

Correlation between the left amygdala signal during emotion regulation and the reduction in self report affect rating as a result of emotion regulation.

<p>The greater the reduction in affect rating rating is indicative of more successful emotion regulation (i.e. a larger reduction in affect ratings for the emotion regulation compared to not regulating emotion).</p
