Bo, Kraynak, Kwon, Sun, Gianaros & Wager, LIT-1359, read in full in NOTE-1061 from the bioRxiv preprint, version 2 (10 May 2023). The authors say the subcortical nulls “might indicate that subcortical affective processes are less modifiable by reappraisal than previously thought” (p. 20). Their closing sentence goes further, that reappraisal “is not able to modulate subcortical-level affective experience” (p. 22). THEORY-871’s “What this does not say” rejects that step to experience, and this entry does not carry it either.
Where the evidence stands
What the study shows is THEORY-871, Active, which this entry extends: that
entry is the reading, and this one is the thesis. The evidence covers one
instructed strategy, mostly reinterpretation, in two midlife community
samples, with BOLD means at 2 mm voxels and one rating per trial. The
promote_when above is THEORY-871’s condition before the twenty-fourth
status review promoted it. It is carried unchanged, except for the
version-of-record clause, because it asks what would make the thesis true
and not what the study reported.
