Abstract
Two hundred and forty participants were studied to explore the relationship between chronotype and emotion regulation strategies.
- Eveningness is linked to increased use of expressive suppression.
- Morningness is linked to greater use of cognitive reappraisal.
- Higher levels of expressive suppression and lower levels of cognitive reappraisal are associated with increased risk for depression.
- Impaired emotion regulation in evening-type individuals may increase their risk for future depression.
- Findings indicate potential targets for therapeutic intervention to prevent depression in those with a late chronotype.
