Example Trial Sequence with Eye Tracking Data and Emotional Interest Areas Depicted.
The trial started with a 1000ms fixation, followed by a 200ms instruction cue (distract, reappraise, watch, view), a 5000ms IAPS stimulus presentation, and unlimited time for self-reported negative affect. The unpleasant image presented is a sample stimulus. It is not part of the IAPS library and was not included in the task. Actual IAPS images could not be displayed due to copyright limitations.

Mean self-reported negative emotion, total fixations, and pupil dilation across the entire image.
A) Mean (SE) self-reported negative affect for each condition; B) Mean (SE) total number of fixations throughout the entire image for each condition; C) Mean (SE) pupil dilation hroughout the entire image for each condition.

Mean Proportion Dwell Time and Pupil Dilation within the Emotional Areas of Interest.
A) Mean (SE) proportion dwell time to the emotional interest areas for each condition, collapsing across the entire 5 second period; B) Mean (SE) proportion dwell time to the emotional interest areas for each condition, averaged at separate 5 second intervals; C) Mean (SE) pupil dilation at fixation within the emotional areas of interest across the entire 5 second period; D) Mean (SE) pupil dilation at fixation within the emotional areas of interest, averaged across separate 5 second intervals.
