Note. Negative emotions consist of anger, anxiety, and sadness. F-statistics reported for variables including NE; t-statistics reported for all other variables. Variables including Anxiety (or Sadness) are interpreted as the average mood reported when the given emotion regulation strategy is used in response to anxiety (or sadness) relative to the average mood reported when the given emotion regulation strategy is used in response to anger. Neuroticism scores are grand-mean centered. Model AIC = 4107.20.
