Emotion regulation is an adaptive ability affecting people’s physical and mental health, quality of life and functioning. In the present study we focused on the influence of the intensity of experienced emotions on emotion regulation strategies (ERS) that are applied in everyday life.
The strength and direction of association between ER strategy use and emotional context may depend on the data collection paradigm. Two other studies – examining individuals in daily life – found age-related differences in the association between ER strategy use and negative emotion that contrast with each other and with the laboratory studies.

The RESS is composed of six subscales: distraction (e.g., “Engaging in something else to keep busy”), rumination (e.g ...

One hypothesis is that maladaptive ER strategies are easily engaged because they are successful at temporarily regulating emotions but are ineffective in the long run because they avoid dealing with the source, cause, or consequence of the emotion, contributing to negative outcomes over time; on the other hand, adaptive strategies have been reported by some as less frequently employed (Brans ...
