“…Our result also showed that women are more likely to use suppression with respect to men. Although also previous studies reported gender difference in the use of suppression 75 – 77 ), this result is not consistent in literature (see 6 , 78 ), suggesting that gender difference possibly depend on other factors such as the situation itself 79 Further researches are needed to better understand the role of gender in the trait EI-ER relationship.…”

A converging body of behavioural findings supports the hypothesis that the dispositional use of emotion regulation (ER) strategies depends on trait emotional intelligence (trait EI) levels. Unfortunately, neuroscientific investigations of such relationship are missing. To fill this gap, we analysed trait measures and resting state data from 79 healthy participants to investigate whether trait EI and ER processes are associated to similar neural circuits. An unsupervised machine learning approach (independent component analysis) was used to decompose resting-sate functional networks and to assess whether they predict trait EI and specific ER strategies. Individual differences results showed that high trait EI significantly predicts and negatively correlates with the frequency of use of typical dysfunctional ER strategies. Crucially, we observed that an increased BOLD temporal variability within sensorimotor and salience networks was associated with both high trait EI and the frequency of use of cognitive reappraisal. By contrast, a decreased variability in salience network was associated with the use of suppression. These findings support the tight connection between trait EI and individual tendency to use functional ER strategies, and provide the first evidence that modulations of BOLD temporal variability in specific brain networks may be pivotal in explaining this relationship.

“…In another study of young adults, Jiang et al (2022) found that the relationship between cognitive reappraisal and life satisfaction weakened as social stress increased among women, but increased at moderate and high levels of social stress among men. Differences in our findings compared to the work of Perchtold et al (2019) and Jiang et al (2022) are not surprising given contextual differences, specifically the younger age of the other study samples and the situations in which the research was conducted. ER is influenced by situational context (Rottweiler et al, 2018;Southward et al, 2019).…”

“…Conversely, in a study with young adults, higher cognitive reappraisal tendencies were protective against depressive symptoms in men, but not women (Perchtold et al, 2019). In another study of young adults, Jiang et al (2022) found that the relationship between cognitive reappraisal and life satisfaction weakened as social stress increased among women, but increased at moderate and high levels of social stress among men. Differences in our findings compared to the work of Perchtold et al (2019) and Jiang et al (2022) are not surprising given contextual differences, specifically the younger age of the other study samples and the situations in which the research was conducted.…”

Coping with a loved one’s critical illness as a surrogate decision-maker (SDM) elicits intense psychological distress. Emotion regulation (ER) may mitigate psychological distress. However, ER tendencies and their effects on psychological distress vary by racial and gender identity, which can inform the tailoring of ER-focused interventions. For this study, we examined between-group differences and the moderating effects of race and gender on ER (reappraisal and suppression) and psychological distress. We recruited 274 SDMs from a Midwestern academic medical center. Men reported a greater tendency to use suppression than women, and SDMs identifying as non-White reported a greater tendency to use reappraisal and suppression. Reappraisal resulted in greater psychological distress for non-White men and less psychological distress for White women. Incorporating tailored ER skill building into supportive interventions may improve the short- and long-term psychological well-being of SDMs, which may improve their ability to make value-concordant decisions and fulfill other informal caregiving responsibilities.

“…In particular, we included the four dimensions of psychological well-being postulated by Staudinger as indicators of personality adjustment (autonomy, positive relations, environmental mastery and self-acceptance) (Staudinger & Bowen, 2010). Given the pivotal role of emotion regulation in understanding adults' life satisfaction under social and interpersonal stressors (Jiang et al, 2022), we also considered two indicators of expression of positive/negative emotions (i.e., divorce-related negative affect and emotional attachment to ex-spouse) and the motivational orientation to select personality adjustment goals (Wayment & Bauer, 2018).…”

Divorce is a major life event that can trigger sudden changes in how adults perceive themselves and operate in their social environments. Some previous evidence has documented changes in personality in reaction to marital dissolution. However, little is known about the determinants of personality development in the post‐divorce period. Guided by the positive personality development model in adulthood, this study examined sociodemographic characteristics, divorce‐related variables and personality‐related indicators as determinants of life satisfaction and personal growth in divorced adults. Participants included 460 divorced adults who completed self‐reported measures regarding sociodemographic characteristics, divorce‐related variables and personality development indicators. Results showed that autonomy, environmental mastery, self‐acceptance, emotional self‐regulation indicators and motivation for personality adjustment goals were associated with post‐divorce life satisfaction. Personal growth was associated with purpose in life, self‐expansion, psychological mindedness and motivation for personality growth goals. The sociodemographic characteristics and divorce‐related variables differently predicted life satisfaction and personal growth. We discussed the implications of the positive personality development model in understanding post‐divorce personality adjustment and maturity.
