Study finds major measures of cognitive reappraisal ability don't correlate
A large international research collaboration compared three common ways of measuring a person's capacity for cognitive reappraisal—self-report trait questionnaires, task-based emotional ratings, and amygdala activity during brain scans—and found the measures don't align with one another. The findings were published in Nature, a rare instance of a high-profile journal accepting a study reporting null results.
