Real-Time and Retrospective Emotion Awareness With Cognitive Reappraisal: Effects on Anxious-Depressive Symptoms and Well-Being
This pilot randomized active-comparison study examined two formats of emotional awareness and cognitive reappraisal training for adults with co-occurring anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Participants were assigned to either a real-time awareness group or a retrospective awareness group.
The real-time awareness group used a smartwatch-based heart-rate prompting system to identify emotions in daily life and later complete cognitive reappraisal exercises.
The retrospective awareness group completed daily evening reflection and cognitive reappraisal exercises based on emotional events from that day.
The study lasted six weeks and included assessments at baseline, mid-intervention, and post-intervention.
Outcomes included anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, emotional clarity, mood repair, cognitive reappraisal, expressive suppression, and psychological well-being.
The purpose of the study was to examine preliminary patterns of change and compare how the two formats may support emotion regulation processes.

Detailní popis
The study used a pilot randomized active-comparison design. Participants were adults aged 18 to 45 years with co-occurring anxiety and depressive symptoms. Eligible participants were randomly assigned to one of two intervention conditions: a real-time awareness condition or a retrospective awareness condition. The intervention lasted six weeks and included three assessment points: baseline/pretest, mid-intervention assessment, and post-intervention assessment.
The intervention consisted of two sequential phases. The first phase lasted approximately two weeks and focused on heart-rate baseline collection and emotional awareness training. Participants in the real-time awareness condition wore a smartwatch for three consecutive days to establish an individualized heart-rate baseline, followed by eleven days of real-time emotion identification training triggered by physiological prompts. When heart rate exceeded the individualized threshold, participants received a vibration prompt and selected the emotion category that best represented their current state. Participants in the retrospective awareness condition received no active intervention during this initial phase.
The second phase consisted of four weeks of cognitive reappraisal training for both groups. The reappraisal training was based on psychological distancing, particularly self-distancing and third-person perspective taking. During this phase, participants in the real-time awareness condition continued to receive physiological prompts and completed cognitive reappraisal exercises immediately after these prompts. Participants in the retrospective awareness condition completed daily evening reappraisal exercises based on emotionally salient events recalled from that day. Both groups attended weekly meetings with the researcher to review strategy use and discuss difficulties encountered during implementation.
Self-report outcomes were assessed at baseline, mid-intervention, and post-intervention. The study examined changes in anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, emotional clarity, mood repair, cognitive reappraisal, expressive suppression, and psychological well-being. The primary purpose was to characterize feasibility, preliminary effects, and temporal patterns of change associated with the two intervention formats rather than to establish definitive treatment efficacy.

Experimentální: Real-Time Awareness With Cognitive Reappraisal
Participants in this arm wore a smartwatch to establish an individualized heart-rate baseline and subsequently received vibration prompts when heart rate exceeded the individualized threshold.
During the emotional awareness phase, participants identified their current emotional state following physiological prompts.
During the cognitive reappraisal phase, participants completed a third-person perspective-taking reappraisal exercise immediately after physiological prompts.
|
This behavioral intervention combined wearable-based physiological prompting, real-time emotion identification, and third-person cognitive reappraisal.
Participants wore a smartwatch that monitored heart rate continuously.
When heart rate exceeded 20% above the individualized baseline, the device delivered a vibration prompt.
Participants identified their current emotion from six basic emotion categories.
During the reappraisal phase, they recorded the triggering event, emotion category, emotional intensity, and thoughts, and then completed a third-person perspective-taking reappraisal exercise.

Aktivní komparátor: Retrospective Awareness With Cognitive Reappraisal
Participants in this arm received no active intervention during the initial awareness phase.
During the cognitive reappraisal phase, participants completed a daily evening reappraisal exercise based on an emotionally salient event from that day.
They recorded the emotion category, emotional intensity, and thoughts experienced at the time of the event, then completed the same third-person perspective-taking reappraisal exercise as the real-time awareness group.
|
This behavioral intervention combined daily end-of-day emotional reflection with third-person cognitive reappraisal.
Participants recalled an emotionally salient event from that day, recorded the emotion category, emotional intensity, and thoughts experienced at the time of the event, and then reinterpreted the event from the perspective of a personally significant or neutral third-person figure.
They subsequently reported their post-reappraisal emotion category, emotional intensity, and new thoughts.
