Overview of self-regulation targets, assays to assess these targets and the settings in which assays were undertaken.
| Target | Assay settings | Assay Domains | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MRI | Behavior | Physiology | Self-Report | ||
| Regulation of Emotion | Lab-based | “Affective circuit” reactivity and connectivity elicited by emotional regulation and viewing of facial expression tasks | Reaction time biases generated by priming from the emotional content of images | Heart rate variability, respiration rate, and skin conductivity recorded with fMRI during emotion tasks | Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) for self-reported regulation Psychological strategies for cognitive coping using the COPE Inventory: emotion regulation subscales BRISC questionnaire for emotional resilience and self-efficacy |
| Virtual Reality | Screen recording of virtual reality headset, coded for behavior Head orientation data collected multiple times per second during emotional regulation environments |
Perceived strength of emotions, immersion, felt before and after regulation | |||
| Naturalistic | Emotional experience relevant passive smartphone sampling | ||||
| Regulation of Cognition | Lab-based | “Cognitive Control” circuit reactivity and connectivity elicited during a Go-NoGo inhibition task | Errors of omission and commission during the Go- NoGo task | Heart rate variability, respiration rate, and skin conductivity recorded with fMRI during the Go-NoGo cognitive task | Psychological strategies for cognitive coping using the COPE Inventory: cognitive regulation subscales |
| Virtual Reality | Screen recording of virtual reality headset, coded for behavior, “Score” on VR version of GoNoGo, “hits (non-wasps)’ and “misses (wasps)” Head orientation data collected during cognitive control environments |
Index of immersion in cognitive challenges | |||
| Naturalistic | Passive smartphone sampling of cognitive metrics | ||||
| Regulation of Self- Focused Reflection | Lab-based | “Default Mode circuit” reactivity and connectivity elicited during rest | Heart rate variability, respiration rate, and skin conductivity recorded with fMRI during rest | Psychological strategies for cognitive coping using the COPE Inventory: self-focused regulation subscales | |
| Virtual Reality | Screen recording from virtual reality headset, coded for behavior Head orientation data during self-reflection environment |
Self-reported strength of emotional immersion | |||
