Mechanisms underlying the alleviation of negative emotions from social exclusion by interpersonal emotion regulation.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Negative emotions induced by social exclusion can exert a significant detrimental effect on an individual's physical and mental health. To explore the effects and neural mechanisms of interpersonal emotion regulation on the negative emotions caused by social exclusion, this study conducted two experiments. Experiment 1compared the effects of interpersonal versus intrapersonal emotion regulation on the negative emotions induced by social exclusion through behavioral indicators. The results showed that interpersonal emotion regulation produced a superior reduction in negative emotions. Then, Experiment 2, utilizing the fNIRS hyper-scanning technology, explored the mechanisms underlying this effect. The results revealed reduced functional brain connectivity in the left medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) of the emotion experiencer. Furthermore, during the regulation process, there was enhanced inter-brain synchronization between the left mPFC of the emotion regulator and the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) of the emotion experiencer. These findings, from the perspective of social interaction, validate the critical role of interpersonal emotion regulation in mitigating the negative emotions caused by social exclusion and elucidate the underlying mechanisms of this effect. This provides empirical support for the application of interpersonal emotion regulation techniques in psychological counseling and interventions.
