“…In the practice phase, participants were shown pairs of faces that were a mix of happy and neutral, or angry and neutral expressions. Chinese Facial Affective Picture System (CFAPS) provided the source for all of the emotional pictures in this study (Wang & Luo, 2005). Other facial expressions not associated with the experiment were also included and randomly appeared.…”

Attentional bias is closely related to individual mental health. To explore the effect of mindfulness meditation on attentional bias, we use the dot‐probe task to measure and compare the attentional bias of 16 Shaolin monks with meditation experience (meditator group) and 18 ordinary people without meditation experience (control group). The results were as follows: (1) The control group showed attentional bias to anger stimuli, while the meditator group did not show attentional bias; (2) The P1 amplitude induced by emotion stimuli was significantly less in the meditator group than in the control group; (3) When the control group observed angry‐neutral faces, the P2 amplitude was greater than when they saw neutral‐neutral faces. In comparison, there was no significant difference in P2 amplitude when the meditator group viewed faces with different emotions. This leads us to contend that people highly practiced in meditation can reduce their attentional bias to negative information, and show the cognitive characteristics of “impartial” treatment to external information.

“…Although most studies focused on the original 36 item version, overall results support acceptable to adequate internal consistency on all scales in all versions (Chamizo-Nieto et al, 2020;Domínguez-Sánchez et al, 2013;Garnefski & Kraaij, 2006a;Jermann et al, 2006;Medrano et al, 2013;Megreya et al, 2016;Perţe & Miclea, 2011;Tuna & Bozo, 2012;Wang et al, 2021;Xu et al, 2021;Zhu et al, 2008). However, in terms of structure, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) studies present mixed results with some studies favouring the original nine-factor structure (Betegón et al, 2022;Chamizo-Nieto et al, 2020;Megreya et al, 2016;Santos et al, 2021;Wang et al, 2021;Zhu et al, 2008), while others suggesting a second-order structure where the nine dimensions are grouped into two more general factors, referred to as adaptive strategies and less adaptive strategies (Domínguez-Sánchez et al, 2013;Jermann et al, 2006;Xu et al, 2021). Also, some of the studies point to certain items with lower factor loadings than recommended (Holgado-Tello et al, 2018;Medrano et al, 2013;Tuna & Bozo, 2012;Wang et al, 2021), indicating the need for further evidence on the structure of the instrument.…”

Of all these studies, only three compare different versions of the CERQ on the same sample of adults (Betegón et al, 2022;Holgado-Tello et al, 2018;Ireland et al, 2017), indicating better fit on shortened versions compared to the original one.…”

“…Furthermore, several authors reported gender differences in the use of the cognitive emotional regulation strategies (Abdi et al, 2012;Duarte et al, 2015;Jermann et al, 2006;Medrano et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2021) and some studies also included older adults. For example, studies in adults aged 18 to 71 years old (Garnefski et al, 2004) and aged 20 to 87 years old (Balzarotti et al, 2016) found women reported higher scores for Catastrophizing, Rumination and Positive Refocusing than men.…”

“…A study specifically conducted among older adults aged 65 to 90 years found men to make more use of Self-blame and Positive Refocusing and women of Rumination (Carvajal et al, 2021). In order to corroborate that these differences are indeed due to different levels of strategies used by genders and not to construct bias in the assessment methods, various authors have provided evidence of the gender measurement invariance of the original 36 item CERQ (Chamizo-Nieto et al, 2020;Santos et al, 2021;Wang et al, 2021) and the short 18 item version of the CERQ (Santos et al, 2021). However, no study to date has provided evidence of gender measurement invariance of CERQ structure on all three versions.…”

Most studies on the psychometric properties of the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) were done in adolescents and adults. The scarce studies in older adults were mainly limited to associations of CERQ scales with internalising symptoms and wellbeing. Only one study explored the underlying factor structure in Spanish older adults and concluded that only a 27 item CERQ version showed adequate fit when tested with confirmatory factor analysis. The present study analyses the psychometric properties of all three versions of the CERQ in a sample of 451 community-dwelling older adults: the original 36 item CERQ, the short 18 item CERQ developed by the original authors and a Spanish 27 item CERQ version. Because gender differences among strategies used have been reported, the present study examined and provided first evidence for the gender invariance of the CERQ structure. Moreover, cognitive emotion regulation strategies correlated like hypothesized with clinical symptoms in general, and behavioural inhibition and activation systems and coping styles. The nomological net was highly similar for the original CERQ and shortened versions. The shortened versions of the CERQ consequently can be viable alternatives to the CERQ in settings where short assessment instruments are needed.

This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effect of a mindfulness-based mobile health (mHealth) intervention, tailored to the pandemic context, among young adult students (N = 114) with elevated anxiety and/or depressive symptoms during quarantine in China, compared to a time-and attention-matched social support-based mHealth control. At baseline, postintervention (1 month), and 2-month follow-up, participants completed self-reports of primary outcomes (anxiety and depression), secondary outcomes (mindfulness and social support), and emotional suppression as a culturally relevant mechanism of change. Feasibility and acceptability were also evaluated. Using intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis, linear mixed effects models showed that compared to social support mHealth, mindfulness mHealth had a superior effect on anxiety ( p = .024, between-group d = 0.72). Both conditions improved on depression (baseline-to-FU ds > 1.10, between-group difference not significant, d = 0.36 favoring mindfulness). There was an interaction of Emotional suppression reduction × Condition in the improvement of anxiety and depression.
