“…This also illustrates that it is important to study different cognitive processes together in one design. Second, in line with prior research (Aldao et al, 2010;D'Avanzato et al, 2013), it was observed that depression levels were positively related to brooding and negatively related to positive reappraisal, with a negative correlation between these ER habits. This indicates that individuals with elevated depressive symptoms habitually implement brooding and tend to use positive reappraisal less frequently than individuals with lower symptoms levels.…”

“…Second, following recent cognitive accounts of depression (Joormann & D'Avanzato, 2010), we assumed that a negative interpretation bias would be negatively related to the use of positive reappraisal and positively related to the use of brooding. Third, in line with studies showing relations between ER processes (Aldao et al, 2010;D'Avanzato et al, 2013), we anticipated that positive reappraisal would have a dampening effect on brooding. Finally, we expected that cognitive biases as well as ER processes would predict depressive symptoms.…”

“…Moreover, studies examining relations among ER processes have documented that depressed individuals are both more likely to use brooding and less likely to use reappraisal (D'Avanzato, Joormann, Siemer, & Gotlib, 2013). To date, few studies have examined relations between cognitive biases and ER processes in depression.…”

Cognitive biases and emotion regulation (ER) difficulties have been instrumental in understanding hallmark features of depression. However, little is known about the interplay among these important risk factors to depression. This cross-sectional study investigated how multiple cognitive biases modulate the habitual use of ER processes and how ER habits subsequently regulate depressive symptoms. All participants first executed a computerized version of the scrambled sentences test (interpretation bias measure) while their eye movements were registered (attention bias measure) and then completed questionnaires assessing positive reappraisal, brooding, and depressive symptoms. Path and bootstrapping analyses supported both direct effects of cognitive biases on depressive symptoms and indirect effects via the use of brooding and via the use of reappraisal that was in turn related to the use of brooding. These findings help to formulate a better understanding of how cognitive biases and ER habits interact to maintain depressive symptoms.

“…Additionally, it remains to be determined whether individuals with BPD select specific cognitive ER strategies more or less frequently compared to people with other mental disorders characterized by emotion dysregulation. People with anxiety and depressive disorders are also more likely than healthy individuals to select and implement more maladaptive cognitive ER strategies based on self-report and mood induction methods [39-41]. Whether people with anxiety and depressive disorders differ from BPD in the cognitive ER strategies they use most frequently is not yet clear, although similar patterns in cognitive ER strategies across the disorders could suggest common underlying mechanisms consistent with a transdiagnostic perspective on the relationship between ER and psychopathology [42].…”

Background: Although difficulties in emotion regulation (ER) are considered a core feature of borderline personality disorder (BPD), the specific strategies that individuals with BPD most commonly use, their diagnostic specificity, and their associations with harmful behaviors have not been firmly established. Sampling and Methods: Individuals with BPD (n = 30), mixed anxiety and/or depressive disorders (MAD; n = 30), and healthy controls (HC; n = 32) completed questionnaires assessing both cognitive ER strategies (e.g., cognitive reappraisal) and potentially harmful behaviors that individuals might use to regulate their emotions (e.g., self-injury). Results: BPD subjects endorsed more maladaptive cognitive ER strategies and fewer adaptive strategies compared to HC. Compared to MAD subjects, BPD individuals endorsed more maladaptive cognitive ER strategies, but only when those with subthreshold symptoms in the MAD group were excluded. BPD also endorsed engaging in potentially harmful behaviors more often than both HC and MAD. Discriminant analysis revealed that MAD endorsed lower rates of problem-solving and cognitive reappraisal compared to both HC and BPD. Higher maladaptive and lower adaptive ER strategies were associated with higher rates of potentially harmful behaviors, although the specific strategies differed for MAD versus BPD. Conclusions: BPD and MAD endorse cognitive ER strategies with a comparable frequency, although BPD subjects engage in potentially harmful behaviors more often. Subthreshold BPD symptoms may also affect rates of ER strategy use in individuals with other mental disorders.

“…However, a great deal of studies in the past were carried out without the participation of actual patients, relying on healthy test subjects instead [40,[43][44][45][46]. With respect to the conclusions and interpretations that have been put forward, this naturally limits possible application.…”
