Repeated failure in emotion regulation could lead to various psychopathologies. It has been reported that the expression inhibition strategy is related to the occurrence and relapse of depression. Although cognitive reactivity is the factor that predicts the relapse of depression, the reason for individual differences in reacting to sad mood is unclear. Congruent with the cognitive theory of depression, implicit measures often assess cognitive reactivity, which is usually hidden. To identify the relationship between cognitive reactivity and trait emotion regulation, the present study verified if trait emotion regulation strategies lead to differences in psychological states in the explicit level. Additionally, it measured cognitive reactivity using the IRAP program before/after mood induction at an implicit level. In the first phase, 494 undergraduate students completed the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire(ERQ), Beck's Depression Inventory(BDI), Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale-Korean(DASSK), and Korean Leiden Depression Sensitivity-Revised(K-LEIDS-R). In the second phase, participants who agreed to participate and passed the practice criterion were divided into the cognitive reappraisal tendency group (N=22) and expression inhibition tendency group (N=18). Findings revealed that the inhibition group exhibit more depression, anxiety, stress, and cognitive reactivity than the reappraisal group did. In the implicit measure, the inhibition group exhibited a more sensitive cognitive structure to sad mood than the reappraisal group did. While the reappraisal group reacted positively to the negative situation, the inhibition group reacted negatively to the negative situation. Critically, the inhibition group exhibited lower positive emotional reaction bias, but the reappraisal group exhibited higher positive emotional reaction bias after mood induction. These results suggest that the habitual use of the expression inhibition strategy contributes more to reactivity to sad mood than the cognitive reappraisal strategy does.
