由于情绪调节在心理健康中的核心作用以及内隐（主要是无意识的）过程在情绪调节中的作用，内隐情绪调节过程在心理健康中应该起着至关重要的作用。我们假设，在使用适应性情绪调节策略的个体中，含蓄地重视情绪调节可以转化为更好的心理健康。222名最近经历过压力生活事件的社区样本（56%为女性）完成了一项情绪调节价值的内隐测量（ER-IAT），并报告了他们习惯性地使用一种重要的适应性情绪调节策略：认知重新评估。我们测量了心理健康的三个领域：幸福感、抑郁症状和社会适应。正如假设的那样，内隐重视情绪调节的个体表现出更高水平的心理健康，但只有当他们的认知再评估使用水平较高时才会如此。这些发现表明，无意识情绪调节过程的有益作用取决于它与有意识情绪调节过程的相互作用。
Because of the central involvement of emotion regulation in psychological health and the role that implicit (largely unconscious) processes appear to play in emotion regulation, implicit emotion-regulatory processes should play a vital role in psychological health. We hypothesised that implicitly valuing emotion regulation translates into better psychological health in individuals who use adaptive emotion-regulation strategies. A community sample of 222 individuals (56% women) who had recently experienced a stressful life event completed an implicit measure of emotion regulation valuing (ER-IAT) and reported on their habitual use of an important adaptive emotion-regulation strategy: cognitive reappraisal. We measured three domains of psychological health: well-being, depressive symptoms, and social adjustment. As hypothesised, individuals who implicitly valued emotion regulation exhibited greater levels of psychological health, but only when they were high in cognitive reappraisal use. These findings suggest that salutary effects of unconscious emotion-regulation processes depend on its interplay with conscious emotion-regulation processes.
