Abstract :
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of emotion regulation strategies of Cognitive appraisal and emotional suppression on emotional memory and executive functions Based on sensory processing sensitivity. Five hundred students were selected. 45 of them, based on score in Sensory Processing Sensitivity Scale were selected and participants were studied in Executive functions and Emotional Memory Assessment under normal viewing conditions, cognitive appraisal and emotional suppression. Data were analyzed by using multivariate analysis of covariance, univariate and post hoc tests. The results showed that significant differences between three groups in the executive functions and emotional memory. Group with high sensory processing sensitivity (HSP) in cognitive appraisal gained higher scores in most components of executive function and emotional memory. Suppression led to the group of high sensory processing sensitivity (HSP) achieved a lower score in executive function and emotional memory. Cognitive appraisal can interact with sensory processing sensitivity and lead to an increase performance in executive function and emotional memory.
