Person-centered approach to cognitive emotion regulation

Could tailored-made approach to cognitive emotion regulation, one aligned with individual’s temperament and anxiety/depression type, be more effective? A team of researchers, including Agata Wytykowska-Kaczorek, Ph.D. / Assistant Professor from SWPS University’s Institute of Psychology investigated this question.

What we researched:

  • The researchers applied a person-centered approach to differentiate the usage of cognitive emotion regulation strategies among subgroups of individuals by employing latent profile analyses.

How we did it:

  • The subgroups were identified according to their temperament type (informing about how people formally process emotional stimuli) and anxiety/depression types (indicating what the content of processed emotional stimuli is). The researchers further explored how these profiles relate to cognitive emotion regulation strategies.
  • Study participants (N = 678; 52.6% females, age of 18–65 years) completed three questionnaires assessing: temperament; anxiety and depression types; and cognitive emotion regulation strategies.

What we discovered:

  • The researchers identified five latent affective-temperament profiles: Strong-Anhedonic, Weak-Apprehension, Strong-Healthy, Weak-Valence, and Very Weak-Anhedonic.
  • The results indicated significant between-profile differences in cognitive emotion regulation strategies.

Why is it important?

  • Because the study provides data for the formulation of recommendations concerning effective use of cognitive emotion regulation strategies.
