The thesis examined how specific executive functions (i.e., updating, shifting, and inhibition) relate to emotion regulation strategies (i.e., cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression), and to understand if executive functions working with affective information are more related to emotion regulation. Four major experiments were carried out. Overall, the results showed that the effectiveness of emotion regulation strategies manifests itself differently depending on the type of measures used during the assessment. Non-affective and affective tasks of executive functions do not differ in their relationship with emotion regulation strategies. While higher updating was related to cognitive reappraisal, inhibition was associated with the more frequent use of expressive suppression. The implications of these findings are discussed in relation to existing theories and practice.
