In interpersonal communicative function aimed to signal to other information about internal state. Emotions manifests in specific cognitive, behavioural, and physiological reactions, thus closely related to health. There is wide variety of ways for individuals to regulate their emotion. In this regard, there are two kinds of emotion regulation strategy; first Antecedent-focused emotion regulation consisting of situation selection, situation modification, attentional deployment, cognitive change and second, Response-focused emotion regulation consisting of suppression. The purpose of this research is to investigate personality factors relate with emotion regulation strategies. 339 students from Faculty of Psychology, Universitas Gadjah Mada were participating in this study and given The Big Five Personality Factors (Ramdhani, 2012, adaptation), and the modified version of the Emotion Regulation Scale was used, Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (John & Gross, 2004) which measure personality and emotion regulation respectively. Using multiple regression analysis, the study indicated that personality predicts emotion regulation strategies.

Peer Review #1 of "Cloninger’s TCI associations with adaptive and maladaptive emotion regulation strategies (v0.1)"

“…This may be expected given that an individual with a high score in NS typically seeks out and enjoys new or novel experiences, ideas and innovative activities. Extraversion and Openness of the five factor model (McCrae & John, 1992) which share a similar conceptual basis with NS are known to be correlated with the use of adaptive emotion regulation strategies (Aluja & Blanch, 2011;Hassani et al, 2008;Kokkonen & Pulkkinen, 2001;Purnamaningsih, 2017;Sadr, 2016;Sohn & Yoo, 2011). However, one of the four sub-dimensions of the NS temperament is impulsivity and impulsivity is typically not associated with adaptive emotion regulation (Schreiber, Grant, & Odlaug, 2012).…”

“…Manuscript to be reviewed of personality, for example, have reported that those high in Neuroticism tend to use maladaptive emotion regulation strategies, while individuals high in Extraversion and Openness use adaptive emotion regulation strategies (Hassani, Azadfallah, Tabatabaie, & Ashayeri, 2008;Kokkonen & Pulkkinen, 2001;Purnamaningsih, 2017;Sadr, 2016;Sohn & Yoo, 2011). However, personality also consists of psychosocial characteristics within an individual that determine behavioral, emotional and cognitive responses to internal and environmental stimuli that extend beyond temperament or stable automatic emotional responses (Cloninger, 2004).…”

“…Bu bulgu önceki çalışmalar ile de uyumludur (Balzarotti vd., 2010;Cabello vd., 2013;Gresham & Gullone, 2012;Haga vd. 2009;Liu vd., 2017;Páez, Mendiburo Seguel & Martínez-Sánchez, 2013;Purnamaningsih, 2017;Sadr, 2016;Shi vd., 2018;Vater & Schröder-Abé, 2015). Bastırma alt ölçeği ile kişilik özelliklerini ölçen diğer dört alt ölçekten herhangi biri arasında anlamlı ilişki tespit edilmemiştir.…”

The Effects of Emotional Regulation and Political Perception on Job Satisfaction: An Empirical Research Study in the Turkish Health Sector

“…Wagstaff and Hanton (2013: 477) defined emotion regulation as being 'capable of keeping emotions under sufficient control to allow for interpersonal relatedness and sociability, prosocial initiatives when appropriate, sympathy toward others, personal assertiveness when needed, and/or other indices of successful functioning'. Some of the literature in emotion regulation seek effective emotion management strategies (Thiel et al, 2013;Akçay and Çoruk, 2012) suggested approaches to effective emotion regulation; Lively and Weed (2014) explained sociological insights into what is emotion management; Wagstaff et al (2013) aimed to improve the practice of individuals by providing an intervention to develop emotional abilities and strategies; Purnamaningsih (2017) and Turliuc and Bujor (2013) examined determinants and consequences of emotional management and Berking et al (2010) focused on the possibility of emotion management as a skill which can be enhanced by training. Improving emotion management ability is important because otherwise emotion dysregulation will lead to hopelessness, dissatisfaction, hypertension, coronary heart disease; even accelerate cancer progression and failure correspondingly (Gross, 1989;Pennebaker, 1990;Walumbwa et al, 2010;Vatan et al, 2014).…”
