“…Another possible transdiagnostic factor that might explain this association refers to maladaptive emotion regulation strategies (Balsamo, 2010; Besharat et al, 2013; Cludius et al, 2020). Maladaptive emotion regulation strategies and the impact they have on emotions have been the scope of several research articles and reviews (e.g., Aldao et al, 2010; Aldao & Nolen‐Hoeksema, 2010; Clear et al, 2019; Kraiss et al, 2020; McRae & Gross, 2020), especially in the case of depression (e.g., Jaso et al, 2020; Joormann & Gotlib, 2010; Nolen‐Hoeksema, 2004; Nolen‐Hoeksema et al, 2008; Papageorgiou & Wells, 2004; Yoon & Rottenberg, 2020) and anger (e.g., Anestis et al, 2009; Cassiello‐Robbins & Barlow, 2016; Chen et al, 2020; Ding & Qian, 2020; Karababa, 2020; Luutonen, 2007; Ray et al, 2008; Salguero et al, 2020; Sukhodolsky et al, 2001; Takebe et al, 2016). More precisely, the literature indicates that rumination and experiential avoidance are both present as regulating strategies in the case of anger and depression (Balsamo, 2010; Besharat et al, 2013; Gardner & Moore, 2008; Giorgio et al, 2010; Jaso et al, 2020; Peled & Moretti, 2010; Sukhodolsky et al, 2001).…”
