“…The habitual use of the two emotion regulation strategies, cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression, was measured with the Polish version of the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Gross and John 2003), already used in previous studies (e.g., Kobylińska et al 2018;Śmieja et al 2011). It consists of 10 questions.…”

In this research we examined relationships between Big Five personality traits, emotion regulation strategies and subjective wellbeing. In two studies we explored the mediational role of habitual use of two regulation strategies: reappraisal and suppression in the relationship between personality traits and two aspects of well-being (i.e., life satisfaction and experience of positive affect and negative affect). In Study 1 (n = 233) we found that the most robust predictors of higher life satisfaction were higher extraversion, conscientiousness, emotional stability (lower neuroticism) and reappraisal, as well as lower suppression of emotions. We obtained similar pattern of results in Study 2 (n = 265) which showed that higher positive affect was significantly predicted by higher extraversion, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and reappraisal. Negative affect was negatively predicted only by emotional stability. Additional analyses indicated that suppression mediated the link between extraversion and life satisfaction, whereas reappraisal mediated associations of emotional stability with life satisfaction and positive affect. The studies reveal the role of emotion regulation for extraversion and emotional stability and their association with well-being.

“…Moreover, high extraversion led to increased arousal over time. There have been mixed findings regarding the moderating role of extraversion on MBM intervention outcomes [ 25 , 76 ]. Extraversion is robustly associated with positive affect; however, Smillie et al [ 77 ] showed that this positive affect could best be conceptualised as a combination of positive valence and high activation/arousal.…”

Mind–Body Medicine (MBM) includes a broad range of interventions with proven preventive and clinical value, such as yoga and meditation. However, people differ in their preferences and response to different MBM treatments and it remains unclear who benefits most from what type of practice. Thus, finding moderators of treatment outcome seems to be a promising approach. This was the aim of the present study. We conducted a single-case multiple-baseline study investigating the outcomes and moderators of four different MBM treatments. Fifty-seven healthy participants with no prior experience were randomly assigned to three baselines (7, 14, and 21 days) and four eight-week treatments: mantra meditation alone, meditation plus physical yoga, meditation plus ethical education and meditation plus yoga and ethical education. We analysed the data using effect size estimation, multiple regression and cluster analyses. High anxiety, high absorption, low spirituality, low openness and younger age were associated with a range of positive outcomes, such as increased wellbeing or decentering and decreased mind wandering. Receiving ethical education consistently improved wellbeing, while engaging in physical yoga reduced mind wandering. In the cluster analysis, we found that participants with a more maladaptive personality structure enhanced their emotion regulation skills more. Consequently, people do differ in their response to MBM interventions and more vulnerable people, or those high in absorption, seem to benefit more. These findings could support the development of custom-tailored MBM interventions and help clinicians to make scientifically sound recommendations for their patients.

Mind-Body Medicine (MBM) includes a broad range of interventions of proven pre-ventive and clinical value, such as yoga and meditation. However, people differ in their preferences and response to different MBM treatments, and it remains unclear who bene-fits most from what type of practice. Thus, finding moderators of treatment outcome seems to be a promising approach. This was the aim of the present study. We conducted a single-case multiple-baseline study investigating the outcomes and moderators of four different MBM treatments. Fifty-seven healthy participants with no prior experience were randomly assigned to three baselines (7, 14, and 21 days) and four eight-week treatments: mantra meditation alone, meditation plus physical yoga, meditation plus ethical education, and meditation plus yoga and ethical education. We analysed the data using effect size estima-tion, multiple regression and cluster analyses. High anxiety, high absorption, low spirituali-ty, low openness and younger age were associated with a range of positive outcomes, such as increased well-being or decentering and decreased mind-wandering. Receiving ethical education consistently improved well-being, while engaging in physical yoga reduced mind-wandering. In the cluster analysis, we found that participants with a more maladaptive per-sonality structure enhanced their emotion regulation skills more. Consequently, people do differ in their response to MBM interventions and more vulnerable people, or those high in absorption, seem to benefit more. These findings could guide the development of custom-tailored MBM interventions and help clinicians to make scientifically sound recommenda-tions for their patients.
