Description
Ismail and three co-authors linked how students handle emotions to how students judge their own memory in twenty twenty-six. Emotion regulation strategies draw on the same mental control resources as memory. The chief strategies are cognitive reappraisal, rethinking a situation to change its meaning, and expressive suppression, hiding outward expression.
Over twelve hundred undergraduates at an Egyptian university filled in questionnaires on both topics. Men reported more suppression and higher overall regulation scores. Women gave more memory complaints. Every regulation measure correlated weakly but significantly with fewer memory complaints. Both strategies stayed linked on their own after controls. The link was weak. So emotion regulation is only one of several factors. The authors suggest that handling emotions well may free cognitive resources for everyday memory tasks.
