Current depressive symptoms as predicted by cognitive reappraisal ability (CRA), socioeconomic status (SES), and the interaction of CRA and SES. Life stress (perceived life stress in Study 1, impact of stressful life events in Studies 2 and 3) was statistically controlled for by entering it as a predictor in the regressions.
