Abstract
The present study examined the differences in frontal EEG asymmetry during emotion regulation between participants who had different levels of trait mindfulness. EEG recordings were taken from 23 high mindfulness adolescents (Mage = 12.34) and 22 low mindfulness adolescents (Mage = 12.53) during the Reactivity and Regulation-Image Task. The results showed that (1) high mindfulness adolescents had greater left (relative to right) asymmetry than low mindfulness adolescents in down-regulation and up-regulation conditions; however, there was no significant difference in the non-regulation condition; (2) In the up-regulating condition, adolescents showed greater right (relative to left) asymmetry for negative stimuli compared to neutral stimuli; however, there was no significant difference in down-regulation and non-regulation conditions. The results provide neurological evidence that trait mindfulness was highly related to the regulation of emotions and affects how emotions are processed.
1. Introduction
Mindfulness affects emotion regulation practices such as decreased negative emotions (Goldin & Gross, 2010) and improvement in physical and mental health (Erisman & Roemer, 2010; Tan & Martin, 2015), etc. As a biomarker of emotion regulation and mindfulness, the electroencephalogram (EEG) asymmetry indicated that the frontal region played an important and essential role (Atzaba-Poria, Deater-Deckard, & Bell, 2017). Previous findings suggest that higher levels of trait mindfulness are associated with a higher quality of life, lower levels of physical pain, and negative affect in adolescents (Petter, Chambers, McGrath, & Dick, 2013). An understanding of the relationship between mindfulness and the frontal EEG asymmetry during emotion regulation in this important period might improve our understanding of socio-emotional development and create a possible assessment marker for the influence of mindfulness on emotion regulation in adolescence. Thus, the current study aimed to understand socio-emotional development, and create a possible assessment marker for mindfulness and emotion regulation for adolescents.
