Background-Emotion regulation strategies are thought to differ in when and how they influence the emotion-generative process. However, no study to date has directly probed the neural bases of two contrasting (e.g., cognitive versus behavioral) emotion regulation strategies. This study used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine cognitive reappraisal (a cognitive strategy thought to have its impact early in the emotion-generative process) and expressive-suppression (a behavioral strategy thought to have its impact later in the emotion-generative process).

A confirmatory factor analysis was performed to evaluate the factorial validity of the Beck Depression Inventory–Second Edition (BDI‐II) in a large sample of undergraduates (N = 576). Results suggest that the revised measure is internally consistent and consists of two underlying factors assessing cognitive‐affective and somatic symptoms of depression. Results support the use of the BDI‐II as a severity measure of symptoms of depression. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Clin Psychol 56: 545–551, 2000.
