A study on the correlation between emotional regulation strategies and self-depletion

According to Gross’s emotion regulation theory and Baumeister’s ego depletion theory, the study researches the impact of two of the mainly used emotion regulation strategies--cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression--to cognitive depletion when inducing people’s negative emotion. The result shows that people who are asked to suppress their negative emotion are more likely to give up in the anagram task.
