Dynamic interpersonal criticism task. Each block “Watch” or “Reappraise” consisted of: 1) a 1.5 s “Cue”; 2) a video-clip of an actor delivering interpersonal criticism; and 3) a negative emotion rating scale. Participants were instructed to either “Just Watch”—react normally to the stimuli without any attempt to control, modify or regulate their reactions—or to “Reappraise” by trying to down-regulate negative emotion reactions by actively reinterpreting the meaning of the emotion-inducing stimulus. The task consists of 2 conditions: (A) Watch Criticism and (B) Reappraise Criticism. This figure was taken from Ziv et al. (2013a,b).
