“…Other studies included emotion regulation as a part of emotion-focused coping strategies (e.g., COPE Inventory; Carver, Scheier, & Weintraub, 1989) and thus, were not reviewed due to the different conceptualization and measurement. This points to the unclarity and confusion in regarding the associations between emotion regulation patterns and psychological distress were reported in studies among patients with other severe health conditions (Karademas et al, 2011(Karademas et al, , 2018; this inconsistency also could be seen in the present study. Another point that needs attention is that most of the studies reviewed were crosssectional (Classen et al, 1996;Cohen, 2013;Ho et al, 2004;Kulpa et al, 2016;Owen et al, 2006;Peh et al, 2016Peh et al, , 2017Schroevers et al, 2011;Tamagawa et al, 2013).…”

“…Also, cognitive reappraisal was found to be associated with low psychological distress among individuals with cardiovascular disease (Karademas, Tsalikou, & Tallarou, 2011) or diabetes (Mocan, Iancu, & Băban, 2018). In contrast, other studies found no significant associations between suppression or cognitive reappraisal and psychological distress among individuals with chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis (Karademas et al, 2018) or psoriasis (Ciuluvica, Fulcheri, & Amerio, 2019). Suppression and experiential avoidance were associated with higher psychological distress in individuals with other conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases (Goodwin & Emery, 2016;Karademas et al, 2011) or fibromyalgia (Bowers, Wroe, & Pincus, 2017).…”

Emotion regulation may affect the levels of psychological distress of cancer survivors, but inconsistencies exist among studies regarding the direction of this effect. The systematic review and meta‐analysis sought to estimate the associations between emotion regulation patterns (repression, suppression, experiential avoidance and cognitive reappraisal) and psychological distress among cancer survivors. Fifteen studies met inclusion criteria for systematic review, and seven studies focussing on suppression were included in the meta‐analysis. The systematic review pointed to a marked variability in associations among the emotion regulation patterns and psychological distress. The three meta‐regressions of the relationships between suppression and psychological distress found significant fixed‐ and random‐effect sizes (except marginal significance of a random‐effect model for partial correlation). Subgroup analysis showed no moderation effect of time since diagnosis or study quality, but a significant difference (fixed‐effect model only, p = 0.005) was found between correlative studies and those controlling for confounders. The current study suggests that suppression is related to elevated levels of psychological distress among cancer survivors, although large inconsistencies exist among studies and publication bias could not be ruled out. Further studies with large samples and a consistent approach are thus required to evaluate the associations of emotion regulation patterns and psychological distress.

“…Similarly, the relationship between childhood adversity and perceived stress in adulthood was weakest at high levels of PCR (Kalia & Knauft, 2020), indicating a buffering role on the relationship between stressor exposure and negative outcomes. Generally, in stressor-exposed samples, the same positive relationships with positive affect (Gillanders et al, 2008; Haverstock et al, 2020; Katana et al, 2019; Litzelman et al, 2017), well-being (Hopp et al, 2011; Katana et al, 2019), perceived quality of life (Li et al, 2015), sense of control (Haverstock et al, 2020), and questionnaire-assessed trait resilience (Baghjari et al, 2017), as well as negative relationships with negative affect (Gillanders et al, 2008; Haverstock et al, 2020; Karademas et al, 2018; Katana et al, 2019) and perceived stress (Haverstock et al, 2020; Katana et al, 2019) can be found.…”

Positive Cognitive Reappraisal in Stress Resilience, Mental Health, and Well-Being: A Comprehensive Systematic Review

Stress-related psychopathology is on the rise, and there is a pressing need for improved prevention strategies. Positive appraisal style, the tendency to appraise potentially threatening situations in a positive way, has been proposed to act as a key resilience mechanism and therefore offers a potential target for preventive approaches. In this article, we review n = 99 studies investigating associations of positive cognitive reappraisal, an important sub-facet of positive appraisal style, with outcome-based resilience and relevant other outcomes, which are considered resilience-related. According to the studies reviewed, positive cognitive reappraisal moderates the relation between stressors and negative outcomes and is positively related to several resilience-related outcomes. It also mediates between other resilience factors and resilience, suggesting it is a proximal resilience factor.

“…Research on patients’ use of intrapersonal emotion regulation is mostly focused on how their use of these strategies is associated with their symptoms and recovery (i.e. Aldao et al, 2014; Karademas et al, 2020), and how emotion regulatory training effects their emotion recognition and expression abilities (Cho and Jang, 2019). This research does not consider emotion regulation in the context of therapeutic relationships.…”

Introduction Emotion regulation may be an important tool that therapists and patients use to build and maintain therapeutic relationships. This exploratory study investigates how patients use intrapersonal and interpersonal emotion regulation strategies during interactions with occupational therapists and physiotherapists. Methods A two-staged qualitative study was conducted. In the first stage 11 patients were interviewed regarding their use of emotion regulation during their therapeutic relationships. In the second stage, 14 patient/therapist dyads were observed during the course of the therapeutic relationship and then interviewed individually at the end of the relationship. Results Patients utilise the full range of intrapersonal emotion regulation strategies that can be categorised in Gross’s (1998) process model of emotion regulation including situation selection, situation modification, attentional deployment, cognitive reappraisal and response modulation. They used interpersonal emotion regulation strategies to a lesser extent, only reporting using strategies that fit into one of the four interpersonal emotion regulation strategies identified Williams’ (2007), altering the situation. Conclusions This study makes an important contribution to research on patients’ contribution to therapeutic relationship development/maintenance. It is the first study to explore patients use of intrapersonal and interpersonal emotion regulation in response to negative and positive emotions arising from interactions with therapists.
