Note. Correlations among emotion regulation strategies are polychoric correlations because these variables are binary (0 = not used, 1 = used). Correlations between emotion regulation strategies and mood are Pearson product-moment correlations because mood is continuous (0–100). Frequency of use indicates the number of times each strategy was reported by any participant across all occasions. Percentages do not add to 100 because participants could report the use of multiple strategies at any given occasion.
