“…Furthermore, the tested competing models were nonsignificant, which provides additional empirical support for the proposed model. The current findings are broadly in line with past work high-lighting the association of emotion dysregulation with subjective social status 48 and eating expectancies 24 and uniquely extends past work to indicate that emotion dysregulation may play an important mechanistic role in the association between subjective social status and eating expectancies among college students.…”

Objective: Research suggests that college is a risky period for changes in eating behavior and beliefs. Although social health determinants relate to health behavior changes, research has not explored subjective social status, one's societal standing, in terms of eating expectancies among college students. The present study examined the emotion dysregulation in association between subjective social status and eating expectancies among college students. Participants: Participants were a diverse sample of 1,589 college students (80.4% females; M age = 22.2 years, SD = 5.27) from an urban university. Results: Results showed a significant indirect association of subjective social status via emotion dysregulation in relation to expectancies of eating to help manage negative affect, to alleviate boredom, and to lead to feeling out of control. Conclusion: These findings provide evidence that college students with lower subjective social status may have a higher risk for dysregulated emotions, and consequently, expressing maladaptive eating expectancies.

“…Smoking impairs the development of adaptive coping mechanisms and increases maladaptive coping and emotional dysregulation (McGee et al, 2013), which is the inability to manage and regulate behavioral responses to internal and external stimuli (Tull and Aldao, 2015). Relatedly, studies have shown that lower SSS is associated with emotional dysregulation (Kauffman et al, 2020;Zvolensky et al, 2017). Zvolensky et al (2017) demonstrated that higher levels of anxiety symptoms among individuals of lower SSS could be partly explained by a greater difficulty in regulating emotions compared to those of higher SSS.…”

“…Relatedly, studies have shown that lower SSS is associated with emotional dysregulation (Kauffman et al, 2020;Zvolensky et al, 2017). Zvolensky et al (2017) demonstrated that higher levels of anxiety symptoms among individuals of lower SSS could be partly explained by a greater difficulty in regulating emotions compared to those of higher SSS. A recent study demonstrated that adult cigarette smokers with higher levels of emotional dysregulation were more nicotine dependent and reported more barriers to smoking cessation (Rogers et al, 2018).…”

“…Reitzel et al (2010) previously demonstrated that withdrawal-related depression mediated the association between SSS and smoking cessation. SSS is also associated with many other nicotine withdrawal symptoms, including sleep disturbances, anger, and anxiety (Cohen et al, 2008;Greitemeyer andSagioglou, 2016, 2019;Zvolensky et al, 2017Zvolensky et al, , 2018bZvolensky et al, , 2018c. Therefore, it is plausible that SSS is indirectly associated with smoking cessation not only through specific withdrawal-related symptoms, such as depression, but also through a composite of withdrawal symptom severity.…”

This study used data collected from a smoking cessation program ( N = 146) to evaluate whether subjective social status was indirectly associated with smoking cessation through nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Findings indicated that subjective social status was indirectly associated with smoking cessation through withdrawal symptoms, specifically through anger and anxiety symptoms. People with lower subjective social status reported more withdrawal symptoms, particularly symptoms related to anger and anxiety, shortly after a quit attempt, and as such, were less likely to achieve smoking abstinence. Findings from this study provide insight into why socioeconomically disadvantaged adults are less likely to remain abstinent after a quit attempt.

Purpose Subjective social status (SSS) reflects individuals’ perceived position in a social hierarchy. Low SSS is associated with several mental health impairments. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine if unemployed individuals report lower SSS in Germany (national SSS) and lower SSS in their social community (local SSS) than employed individuals. Moreover, the relationship between unemployment, SSS, and mental health was examined. Patients and methods 113 unemployed and 1117 employed individuals from a representative German panel provided information on their national and local SSS, their monthly income and their mental health. SSS was assessed with the German version of the MacArthur Scales. Mental health was measured using the mental component scale (MCS) of the SF-12. Results Unemployed individuals reported significantly lower national SSS, local SSS and mental health compared to employed participants. Mediational analyses suggest that the negative effect of employment status on mental health was explained via a reduction of national SSS. Local SSS did not mediate the association of employment status and mental health. Conclusion Unemployment is associated with lower SSS and reduced mental health. The perceived position relative to others in the country (ie, national SSS) mediates the association between employment status and mental health.
