Abstract

Emotion regulation refers to the way individuals manage and regulate their own emotions in response to negative emotional experiences. This study investigated the possibility that media multitasking serves as a maladaptive coping strategy (e.g., suppression, avoidance) for managing emotionally stressful events, using self-report measures of emotion regulation (Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale) and cognitive measures that assess attentional bias for emotional stimuli (the dot probe and the emotional Stroop task).
