Emotion Regulation Strategies and Quality of Life in Dermatologic Patients

AbstractThe aim of this study was a multidimensional assessment of emotion regulation strategies in order to highlight the relation between the mechanisms of emotional dysregulation and quality of life in dermatologic patients. In this context we noticed that some indicators are negatively (e.g. suppression) while others are positively related (e.g. reappraisal) with the presence of positive affects. The data analysis proved also significant differences between the patients with psoriasis and both patients with other skin conditions and healthy individuals. Thus the study suggests a possible life improvement technique based on emotional regulation enhancement
