Abstract: Gender stereotype believes that female is more emotional than male. Not only because of the difference of the brain structures between gender, but also due to the hormone secretion. It's easy for female to be negative when they are in luteal phase, because the amygdale which is the center of negative emotion storing will be activated by the progesterone. Moreover, the negative emotion will affect the cognitive activity, so that go against our work-efficiency. There are two points of view for the effect, one suggests that different emotional experience after different emotion regulation is the main cause. The other emphasizes the different consumption in the cognitive resource after different emotion regulation. In this study, using spatial cueing tasks, we explore whether activating the negative emotion of female college students who were in different menstruation phases will make impact on selective attention inhibition. And we use the difference value between the case that the response locations and signal locations are consistent and the case that the two locations are inconsistent to be the inhibiting quantity of selective attention. Furthermore, we use three different emotion regulations to find out the suitable way to regulate their emotion. This study is based on two experiments. In the first experiment, we selected 32 female college students who were in the luteal phase and other 32 who were in the menstrual period to activate their negative emotion and natural emotion separately. Then made a compare the selective attention inhibiting quantity of this four kinds of experiment treatment. The difference value larger , the inhibiting ability worse. In the second experiment, in order to find out the adjustment methods, which is beneficial to the improvement of their negative emotion and the selective attention inhibition ability, we use three different typical emotion regulations that the rumination, distraction and interpersonal emotion regulation as a strategy of emotion regulation to neutralize their emotion. The first two are the emotion regulation that the female tend to be use when they feel down, and interpersonal regulation will let us using empathy to help other and ourselves to neutralize their emotion. Moreover this three ways may help us to enhance our inhibition ability .So we activated negative emotion of other 104 female college students in luteal phase, and used the three kinds of emotion regulation on the adjustment. The result shows that the female collage students in luteal phase has significant higher inhibiting ability than the female collage students in menstrual period. What’s more, three kinds of emotion regulation all can regulate individual emotion and make the select attention inhibition function effectively. So the female will be easy to be negative in luteal phase ant have a lower selective attention inhibition ability. But the rumination, distraction and interpersonal emotion regulation are the effective means to improve our negative emotion and enhance our selective attention inhibition ability.

摘要： 采用空间提示任务，研究经期不同时段女大学生负性情绪对选择性注意抑制的影响及有效的情绪调节策略。实验1选取黄体期与非黄体期女大学生各32名，使用视频材料诱发中性和负性情绪，结果发现黄体期被试选择性注意抑制能力显著低于非黄体期；实验2选取104名黄体期的女大学生，负性情绪诱发后分组采用沉思、分心与人际策略进行调节，结果表明三种策略均降低了个体负性情绪，提高了选择性注意抑制成绩。研究结论如下：黄体期女性更受负性情绪影响，注意抑制能力下降，但有效的调节策略可改善其负性情绪并提高注意抑制能力。
