Wang, Ke; Goldenberg, Amit; Dorison, Charles A; Miller, Jeremy K; Uusberg, Andero; Lerner, Jennifer S; Gross, James J; Agesin, Bamikole BamikoleThe COVID-19 pandemic has increased negative emotions and decreased positive emotions globally.

To reduce negative emotions and increase positive emotions, we tested the effectiveness of reappraisal, an emotion-regulation strategy that modifies how one thinks about a situation. Participants from 87 countries and regions (n = 21,...
