Cross-sectional survey reveals contrasting effects of emotion regulation on well-being in adolescents, suggesting cognitive reframing supports mental health.

Key Points

To examine how cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression relate to psychosocial well-being outcomes during adolescence.
Administered the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) alongside several psychosocial well-being inventories to 633 Italian adolescents.
Evaluated ERQ psychometric validity via factor analysis and internal consistency reliability.
Assessed relationships between regulation strategies, demographic factors, and well-being outcomes using correlation, regression, and analysis of variance.
Cognitive reappraisal was positively associated with superior well-being, demonstrating strong links to higher life satisfaction, perceived social support, and positive affect.
Expressive suppression was consistently associated with poorer outcomes across all indicators, including reduced psychological health, elevated emotional loneliness, and increased negative affect.
Males reported significantly higher positive affect and life satisfaction than females, while psychological health varied by age, peaking at age 14 and dropping to its lowest level at age 16.
