Establishment and replication of emotion regulation profiles: implications for psychological health.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: A promising method of capturing the complex nature of emotion regulation is to assess composite profiles of regulation (i.e., default pattern of regulation across multiple strategies). However, it remains unclear whether regulatory profiles demonstrate consistency across samples and in relation to mental health.

DESIGN: Two studies are presented here. Both utilized a cross-sectional design, and the second study presents a replication of the first.

METHOD: Both studies utilized self-report data from independent undergraduate samples to perform latent profile analyses of emotion regulation use.

RESULTS: Studies 1 and 2 demonstrated evidence for four replicable regulatory profiles: Adaptive, Accepting (with or without Suppression), Non-accepting, and Maladaptive. Profiles were also related to symptoms of depression and anxiety, such that those consistently relying on adaptive strategies reported lower symptoms than those relying more heavily on maladaptive strategies.

CONCLUSIONS: These findings clarify previous work which tied regulatory profiles to psychological health by extending a person-centered approach to understanding the ways in which individuals regulate their emotions.
