“…Items are assessed on a four-point Likert-type scale (1 = "I usually don't do this at all"; 4 = "I usually do this a lot"). Consistent with past work (Stanton et al, 2000), the emotional processing and emotional expression subscales have yielded high levels of internal consistency in the current sample (Cronbach α = .84 and .88, respectively). Additionally, both subscales have demonstrated sound predictive validity (Stanton et al, 2000) and have been employed successfully in past research to assess both adaptive and maladaptive coping styles (Zvolensky, Solomon et al, 2006).…”

The present investigation examined whether smoking outcome expectancies, as measured by the Smoking Consequences Questionnaire (SCQ; Brandon & Baker, 1991), were incrementally related to emotional vulnerability factors among an adult sample of 202 daily cigarette smokers (44.6% women; M age = 23.78 years, SD = 9.69 years). After controlling for cigarettes smoked per day, past 30-day marijuana use, current alcohol consumption, and coping style, negative reinforcement/ negative affect reduction outcome expectancies were significantly associated with greater levels of negative affectivity, emotional dysregulation, and anxiety sensitivity. The observed effects for negative reinforcement/negative affect reduction also were independent of shared variance with other outcome expectancies. Negative personal consequences outcome expectancies were significantly and incrementally related to anxiety sensitivity, but not negative affectivity or emotional dysregulation. Findings are discussed in terms of the role of negative reinforcement/negative affect reduction smoking outcome expectancies and clinically-relevant negative emotional vulnerability for better understanding cigarette smoking-negative mood problems.Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Michael J.

These analyses were completed in an identical fashion to those reported in the paper except positive affectivity was employed as the dependent variable. Here, predictor variables accounted for 22.1% of the overall variance for positive affectivity [F(9, 198) = 5.95, p < .001]. Level one of the model accounted for 17.1% of the variance, with significant contributions by the emotional processing and emotional expression subscales (β = .30, p < .001 and β = .16, p < .05, respectively). Level two of the model accounted for an additional 5% of the variance, with the appetite control subscale being the only significant predictor (β = −.16, p < .05). There is a recent and increasingly well-documented association between cigarette smoking and depressive and anxiety symptoms and disorders (Morrell & Cohen, 2006;Morissette, Tull, Gulliver, Kamholz, & Zimering, 2007;Patton, Carlin, Coffey, Wolfe, Hibbert, & ...

“…The Brief COPE at the initial assessment was used (␣s for the scales examined were above .65, except for Active Coping, which was .54). Participants also responded to items assessing emotional processing coping (Stanton, Kirk, Cameron, & Danoff-Burg, 2000) using the same scale as the Brief COPE. There were scales for examining emotions (e.g., "I've been taking time to figure out what I'm really feeling;" ␣ ϭ .90) and expressing emotions (e.g., "I've been taking time to express my emotions;" ␣s ϭ .94).…”

Two previously studied cohorts of women with nonmetastatic breast cancer (Ns ϭ 230 and 136) were reexamined. Participants were assessed during the year after surgery and 5-8 years later. Associations were examined between benefit finding (BF) and several indicators of psychosocial adjustment (e.g., perceived quality of life, positive affect, negative affect, social disruption, and intrusive thoughts). Significant curvilinear relations between BF and other outcomes were observed cross-sectionally during initial assessment and at long-term follow-up in both samples. Compared with the intermediate BF group, low and high BF groups had better psychosocial adjustment. Further analyses indicated that the high BF group reported higher optimism and more use of positive reframing and religious coping than the other BF groups. Discussion highlights the need to examine nonlinear as well as linear relationships.

“…Table 1 summarizes information about the instruments' characteristics. The most frequently reported measure was the Courtauld Emotional Control Scale (Watson & Greer, 1983; n = 32 studies; 56%) followed by the Emotional Approach Coping Scale (Stanton, Kirk, Cameron, & Danoff-Burg, 2000; n = 7 studies; 12%), the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (Bagby, Parker, & Taylor, 1994; n = 6 studies; 11%), the Weinberg Adjustment Inventory -Short Form (Weinberger, 1990; n = 6 studies; 11%), the Stanford Emotional Self-efficacy Scale -Cancer (Giese-Davis et al, 2004; n = 5 studies; 9%), the Cancer ehavior Inventory (Merluzzi, 2001; n = 3 studies; 5%), the Control of Feeling Scale (Benjamin & Friedrich, 1991; n = 3 studies; 5%); the Rationality/Emotional Defensiveness (Spielberger, 1988; n = 3 studies; 5%), the Ambivalence over Emotional Expression Questionnaire (King & Emmons, 1990; n = 2 studies; 4%), the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Garnefski, Kraaij, & Spinhoven, 2002; n = 2 studies; 4%), and the Emotional Expressiveness Questionnaire (King & Emmons, 1990; n = 2 studies; 4%). A number of relevant scales were used only once: the Berkeley Expressivity Questionnaire (Gross & John, 1995), the COPE (Carver, Scheier, & Weintraub, 1989); the Emotion Self-Disclosure Scale (Snell, Miller, & Beck, 1988), the Marlowe Crowne Social Desirability Scale (Crowne & Marlowe, 1964), and the Ways of Coping Questionnairemodified (Reynolds et al, 2000).…”

The important role of emotion regulation and expression in adaptation to breast cancer is now widely recognized. Studies have shown that optimal emotion regulation strategies, including less constrained emotional expression, are associated with better adaptation. Our objective was to systematically review measures used to assess the way women with breast cancer regulate their emotions. This systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Nine different databases were searched. Data were independently extracted and assessed by two researchers. English-language articles that used at least one instrument to measure strategies to regulate emotions in women with breast cancer were included. Of 679 abstracts identified 59 studies were deemed eligible for inclusion. Studies were coded regarding their objectives, methods, and results. We identified 16 instruments used to measure strategies of emotion regulation and expression. The most frequently employed instrument was the Courtauld A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
