Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Behaviorally, no age differences in self-reported emotional reactivity, but linear and quadratic relationships between reappraisal ability and age across 10–22-year-olds. → McRae et al 2012
Evidence¶
McRae et al 2012¶
McRae et al. (2012). The development of emotion regulation: an fMRI study of cognitive reappraisal in children, adolescents and young adults. Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience 7(1), 11–22. https://doi.org/10.1093/scan/nsr093
q3 · i? · associational · r?
Behavioral results from an fMRI task comparing older children (10–13), adolescents (14–17), and young adults (18–22) on reappraisal. The study "observed no age differences in self-reported emotional reactivity, but linear and quadratic relationships between reappraisal ability and age."
"Behaviorally, we observed no age differences in self-reported emotional reactivity, but linear and quadratic relationships between reappraisal ability and age."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Age and Developmental Stage — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
Related Claims¶
- The disgust film induction elevated disgust ratings comparably in young and older adults, with no age differences in reactivity or recovery after baseline — related
- Social-cognitive regions show quadratic activation patterns with age, with adolescents showing lower reactivity-related but higher reappraisal-related activation — related
- Left ventrolateral prefrontal cortex activation shows linear age-related increases during reappraisal — related
- Stronger executive function is concurrently associated with greater cognitive reappraisal and less expressive suppression in adolescents — related
- High-intensity digital users show lower EF and reappraisal than moderate and low users, suggesting a threshold rather than linear dose-response pattern — related
- Instructed reappraisal success improves with age across ages 10-23, following linear and quadratic trends — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
