Cognitive Reappraisal
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
It refers to changing the emotional response by altering the understanding or interpretation of the emotion-eliciting event. For example, interpreting "racing heart during an interview" as "I am excited" rather than "I am afraid." Scaffolding role: emotional alchemy. This is a healthier way of regulating emotions than "suppression." It does not change the facts but changes the meaning of the facts, thereby changing our physiological and psychological state.

Emotional alchemy. This is a healthier way of regulating emotions than "suppression." It does not change the facts but changes the meaning of the facts, thereby changing our physiological and psychological state.
Anchor fast decisions
Emotions are generated by "appraisals" of events; reappraisal changes appraisal dimensions (causality/controllability/meaning) early in the emotion generation process, reconstructing physiological and subjective experience, and is healthier than expressive suppression and does not affect memory.
