contents Acceptance and Reappraisal are considered adaptive emotion regulation strategies. While previous studies have explored the neural underpinnings of these strategies using task based fMRI and sMRI, a gap exists in the literature concerning resting-state functional brain networks contributions to these abilities, especially for what concerns Acceptance. Another intriguing question is whether these strategies rely on similar or different neural mechanisms. Building on the well-known improved emotion regulation and increased cognitive flexibility of individuals who rely on acceptance, we expected to find decreased activity inside the Affective network and increased activity inside the Executive and Sensorimotor networks to be predicted of acceptance. We also expect that these networks may be associated at least in part with Reappraisal, indicating a common mechanism behind different strategies. To test these hypotheses, we conducted a functional connectivity analysis of resting-state data from 134 individuals (95 females). To assess acceptance and reappraisal abilities, we used the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) and a group-ICA unsupervised machine learning approach to identify resting state networks. Subsequently, we conducted backward regression to predict acceptance and reappraisal abilities. As expected, results indicated that acceptance was predicted by decreased Affective, and increased Executive, and Sensorimotor networks, while reappraisal was predicted by an increase in the Sensorimotor network. Notably, these findings suggest both distinct and overlapping brain contributions to acceptance and reappraisal, with the Sensorimotor network potentially serving as a core common mechanism. These results not only align with previous findings but also expand upon them, demonstrating the complex interplay of cognitive, affective, and sensory abilities in emotion regulation.
