| Summary: | Emotion regulation (ER) flexibility involves the implementation of ER strategies that meet
the demands of an emotional situation. While it has been linked to lower psychopathological
symptoms and negative affect, its associations with positive affect and short-term cognitive
well-being have yet to be established. The paper presents an experience-sampling study that
investigates the relationship between one’s variable use of ER strategies across time and
situations and three indices of subjective well-being (SWB). Although no significant
associations were found between ER flexibility and SWB, this study illuminates the
preventative role of ER flexibility on negative psychological outcomes, its role in predicting
short-term CWB and the adaptiveness of using a wider versus a smaller range of strategies in
ER. |
