“…However, it is also worth noting that the vast majority of the empirical work focused on identifying adaptive versus maladaptive emotion regulation strategies has been conducted in Western, primarily individualistic contexts, and these findings may not be culturally universal. For example, evidence suggests that individuals from more collectivist cultures, such as Japanese, Chinese, or Mexican cultural heritages, may be more likely to use emotion suppression as an adaptive strategy to down‐regulate emotions (Butler et al, 2007; Ford & Mauss, 2015; Hampton et al, 2019; Matsumoto et al, 2008).
