Flexible expression of emotions in relation to symptoms of depression and anxiety in emerging adulthood
(inScience Press : Lisabon, 2024) Ladecký, Jakub; Pilárik, Ľubor
In the realm of mental health research, understanding the interplay between emotion expression and psychological well-being remains a crucial endeavor. The theory suggests that suppression of emotion expression is generally a maladaptive emotion regulation strategy, but empirical studies are ambiguous about this claim. Recently, the concept of flexibility in emotion expression has been studied to overcome the limitations of rigidity connected with the concept of suppression of emotion expression. The purpose of this study was to explore associations between suppression of emotion expression, flexible emotion expression and symptoms of depression and anxiety. We administered self-report scales to participants (N = 836) in emerging adulthood to measure suppression of emotion expression, flexible expression and suppression of emotion, and the presence of symptoms of depression and anxiety. We found that the presence of depression and anxiety symptoms was weakly positively related to suppression of emotion expression, but weakly negatively related to flexible suppression of emotion expression. We discuss the results in terms of assessing the adaptive nature of emotion regulation strategies.
