“…Taken together, daily FoMO appeared to be less strongly associated with lower daily affective well-being among participants who had higher tendencies to engage in cognitive reappraisal relative to their counterparts. Indeed, this finding is consistent with previous studies that showed cognitive reappraisal as an effective strategy in managing one’s negative emotions in response to emotionally threatening situations (Shapero et al, 2019; Too & Butterworth, 2018; Troy et al, 2010). Moreover, it is unlikely that this moderation effect was driven by multicollinearity issues; i.e., lower levels of FoMO, to begin with, among individuals who frequently utilize cognitive reappraisal (Shieh, 2010).…”

With modern societies becoming ever-increasingly interconnected due to technology and media, we have gained unprecedented access and exposure to other people’s lives. This has resulted in a greater desire to constantly be socially connected with the activities of others, or the fear of missing out (FoMO). While much of the present available research has established the association between FoMO and diminished emotional well-being, little has been done to identify protective factors that can help one cope with the negative psychological consequences of FoMO. Utilizing data from a 7-day diary study of a large sample of young adults ( N = 261), the current study aimed to examine the moderating role of cognitive reappraisal in attenuating diminished emotional well-being associated with FoMO. Multilevel modeling showed that cognitive reappraisal attenuated the day-to-day within-person associations between daily FoMO and indicators of daily emotional well-being such as negative affectivity, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.

“…They will think about the events that make them feel bad in a less favorable or accepting way; they experience more negative emotions than those who use suppression less. Some studies show that when facing a state of high-stress, if individuals use expressive suppression more frequently, they tend to feel burnout [39], and this aggravates their negative feelings [35]. Moore et al [40] found that expressive suppression is often positively correlated with stress-related symptoms, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression.…”

The challenges and consequences of COVID-19 imposed massive changes in adolescents’ daily routines (e.g., school closures, home confinement, and social distancing rules), which impacted their mental health. This longitudinal study aimed to better understand the changes in adolescents’ internalizing symptoms and the underlying mechanisms of parental stress due to COVID-19. We asked 1053 parents of adolescents to complete an online survey during the second and fifth weeks and at the end of home confinement (i.e., four weeks later). Results showed that parents reported their adolescents’ anxiety and depression symptoms were more severe at Time 2 than at the first administration. Anxiety symptoms slightly decreased at Time 3, while there was no significant change in depression symptoms. Moreover, parents’ expressive suppression mediated the association between parental stress and adolescents’ anxiety and depression symptoms, respectively. The findings suggest that as restriction increased, adolescents’ anxiety and depression became more severe. Moreover, due to the link between parental stress and adolescents’ internalizing disorders helping families to cope with the distress due to the pandemic may have a positive impact on parents, the child, and the family as a whole (i.e., the family climate).

“…Although individuals may face the same stressful event (for example COVID-19) there are individual differences in how associated negative emotions are experienced or regulated ( Gross and John, 2003 ; Too and Butterworth, 2018 ; Raymond et al, 2019 ). Recent studies found that during the COVID-19 pandemic, several resources and resilience factors played moderating and/or mediating roles in the associations between stressful experiences and mental health, e.g., individuals’ sense of meaning of life ( Schnell and Krampe, 2020 ), locus of control ( Krampe et al, 2021 ), psychological flexibility ( Smith et al, 2020 ), personality traits ( Bacon and Corr, 2020 ; Smith et al, 2020 ; Liu et al, 2021 ; Abdelrahman, 2022 ; Lassen et al, 2022 ), as well as emotion regulation abilities ( Xu et al, 2020 ; Liang et al, 2021 ; Ye et al, 2021 ; Gullo et al, 2022 ; Vertsberger et al, 2022 ).…”

Emotion regulation moderates the association between COVID-19 stress and mental distress: findings on buffering, exacerbation, and gender differences in a cross-sectional study from Norway

BackgroundMaintaining good mental health is important during a crisis. However, little attention has been given to how people achieve this, or how they evaluate emotions associated with stressors, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to (1) investigate whether emotion regulation, in particular cognitive reappraisal and suppression, moderates the relationship between COVID-19 stress and general mental distress and (2) examine gender differences in the interrelations between COVID-19 stress, emotion regulation, and mental distress.MethodsData from a population in Norway (n = 1.225) were collected using a cross-sectional survey during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Emotion regulation was measured using the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire Scale (ERQ), COVID-19 stress with the COVID-19 Stress Scale, and mental distress with the Patient Health Questionnaire 4 (PHQ-4). Moderation analyses were conducted using the PROCESS macro for SPSS.ResultsThere was a strong association between COVID-19 stress and general mental distress (r = 0.61). The moderation analyses showed substantial moderation effects of cognitive reappraisal and suppression on the relationship between COVID-19 stress and mental distress. Cognitive reappraisal served as a buffer (p = 0.001) and suppression (p = 0.002) exacerbated the relation between COVID-19 stress and mental distress. Men had higher scores of suppression (p < 0.001), and women had higher scores of cognitive reappraisal (p = 0.025). The buffering effect of cognitive reappraisal presented itself only in women (p < 0.001), while the exacerbation effect of suppression appeared only in men (p < 0.001).ConclusionThe current study suggests that COVID-19 pandemic-related stress is easier to deal with for those who have the tendency to cognitively reappraise. In contrast, suppression is associated with symptoms of depression and anxiety. The prevention of mental distress can be supported by guiding people about the importance of using healthy emotion regulation strategies, as well as helping them to become more aware of the way they interpret and regulate their emotions. Gender differences in emotion regulation suggest gender awareness, e.g., tailored programs for men and women.
