Although research suggests links between emotion regulation strategies and substance use outcomes, little work has examined the relationship between specific strategies (i.e., reappraisal and suppression) and outcomes (i.e., alcohol and cannabis consumption and related problems). To date, no research has examined the association between emotion regulation strategies and protective behavioral strategies used while engaging in substance use. Thus, the current study examined these relations for females and males. Undergraduates (N = 643) completed an online battery of self-report measures. Using structural equation modeling, results indicated improved Emotion Regulation Questionnaire model fit after one item was removed. Reappraisal was negatively associated with alcohol binge frequency and related problems for females, though suppression was negatively related to these outcomes for males. Reappraisal was also negatively associated with cannabis-related problems for males only. Reappraisal was positively associated with all types of protective behavioral strategies use for females, whereas only alcohol-specific serious harm reduction and cannabis protective behavioral strategies were significant for males. Latent variable interactions between reappraisal and protective behavioral strategies were significant for past-month cannabis use and related problems for males and indicated protective behavioral strategies use was more protective against past-month use and cannabis-related problems for those high in reappraisal. Although replication is necessary, these preliminary findings suggest the link between emotion regulation strategies and substance use outcomes among college students is complex and future work may benefit from examining these relations from an emotion regulation flexibility perspective.

Trait Social Anxiety Moderates the Relationship Between Emotion-Regulation Strategy Switching and State Anxiety in Daily Life.

Difficulty knowing when to switch emotion regulation (ER) strategies is theorized to be a key pathway to emotion dysregulation, but relatively few studies have empirically examined this. We applied a new order-based metric to quantify how =109 socially anxious people switched between 19 different ER strategies (or chose not to regulate at all) throughout a 5-week ecological momentary assessment study yielding 12,616 observations. We tested whether state and trait anxiety reports, and their interaction, predicted differences in ER strategy switching.

Associations between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and aggressive behavior have often been demonstrated, but the mechanisms underneath these relations are yet unclear. As high levels of ACEs and aggression have been found among individuals with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), ADHD dimensions might explain this association. Moreover, maladaptive emotion regulation is common in ADHD and was associated with aggressive behavior.

Accurate and early diagnosis of Depression and Anxiety is met with the challenge of comorbid presentations and the neglect of the basic disturbances of self in current diagnostic criteria. Here, we review studies employing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with self-based tasks in major depressive disorder (MDD) and anxiety disorders (AD) to determine the transdiagnostic and differential-diagnostic applicability of neural markers related to the self. This systematic review identified three main findings: (I) Large-scale brain-wide changes related to self-dysfunction overlap significantly between MDD and AD.

The cerebellum, once primarily associated with motor functions, has emerged as a critical component in higher cognitive processes and emotional regulation. This paradigm shift frames the cerebellum as an essential focal point for elucidating sophisticated functional brain circuitry. Network neuroscience often maintains a cortical-centric viewpoint, potentially overlooking the significant contributions of the cerebellum in connectome organization.
