Examining the associations between trauma intrusions, emotion regulation, and affect among European Australian and Chinese Australian trauma survivors using ecological momentary assessment.

Momentary intrusions were associated with diverse emotion regulation strategy use and moderated associations between emotion regulation strategy use and affect. Importantly, cultural group moderated some of these associations, suggesting the use of emotion regulation strategies is not universal. The findings highlight the importance of considering cultural context in trauma treatment and a need for further research in this area. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
