尽管对情绪调节策略和精神病理学的研究越来越感兴趣，但研究人员主要集中在隐性情绪调节策略上，即那些发生在个体内部的策略（例如，认知再评价、抑制）。相反，较少关注精神病理学和显性情绪调节策略之间的关系（例如，饮酒，寻求建议）。这导致了有限的理解的复杂剧目的情绪调节策略，个人拥有的，以及如何在使用策略的模式可能与精神病理学。我们要求218名本科生报告他们习惯使用15种内隐和外显情绪调节策略以及七种不同精神障碍的症状。显性策略与症状相关，有时，它们预测的精神病理学高于更频繁研究的隐性策略。这些发现对发展适应性和适应不良情绪调节模式的更复杂的理解具有意义。
Despite the increasing interest in the study of emotion regulation strategies and psychopathology, researchers have predominantly focused on covert emotion regulation strategiesthat is, those strategies that occur within the individual (e.g., cognitive reappraisal, suppression). Conversely, less attention has been devoted to the examination of the relationship between psychopathology and overt emotion regulation strategies (e.g., drinking alcohol, seeking advice). This has resulted in a limited understanding of the complex repertoire of emotion regulation strategies that individuals possess, and how patterns in the use of strategies might relate to psychopathology. We asked 218 undergraduates to report on their habitual use of 15 covert and overt emotion regulation strategies and symptoms of seven different mental disorders. Overt strategies were associated with symptoms and, at times, they predicted psychopathology above and beyond the more frequently studied covert strategies. These findings have implications for developing a more sophisticated understanding of patterns of adaptive and maladaptive emotion regulation.
