Indeed, this paper (and videos) is quite wow #affectivescience
(buried in a reply, but) This is mind-blowing & deserves a post. Scroll to "video" in this article to watch what happens when the human hypothalamus is stimulated: it's a combo of embarrassment/shame and intense body sensations emanating from the heart. WOW.

New Paper! 📣 Have you ever had a clear understanding of your emotions, but you still couldn't seem to stop ruminating on them? In a sample of adolescents, @lisastarr.bsky.social and I looked at emotion differentiation, emotion regulation (traits and behavior), and brooding. 🧵 1/4
Negative emotion differentiation in adolescents: unpacking linkages with emotion regulation traits and behaviours, rumination, and depression
Negative emotion differentiation (NED), or the ability to parse negative emotions (NEs) with precision, is theorised to facilitate emotion regulation (ER), but research examining the link between N...
