The ability to manage difficult feelings is so essential to everyday life that failures to regulate emotion effectively are associated with detrimental social, occupational and physical-health outcomes. One of the most well-studied regulation strategies is cognitive reappraisal, in which a person changes how they think about an event to alter its emotional impact — for example, finding the ‘silver lining’. Writing in Nature, Sicorello et al.1 investigate an assumption that researchers have held about measuring reappraisal.
