 SUBJECTS Demographic characteristics of the representative sample of Croatian citizens (N=900) Age: Mean Median 42 Range years Age groups: frequency (%) Young (18-29) 224 (24.9) Middle (30-44) 271 (30.1) Aged (45-59) 232 (25.8) Old age (60 +) 164 (18.2) Gender: Women 486 (54%) Men 414 (46%)

  MEASURES & PROCEDURE ► Measure of Affect Regulation Styles, MARS (Larsen & Prizmic 2004) 38 specific behaviours that people use to regulate negative feelings rated on the scale 1 = never; 7 = always  7 factors (mood regulation strategies) ► In-person interviews in respondent’s home, anonymous, respond rate 77%

Active distraction going out with friends, doing some fun, laughin Cognitive engagement thinking about positive things, things that are going well in life, putting things in perspective Behavioral engagement making plans how to avoid such problems in future, taking action to solve the problem Mood regulation strategies

Venting and expressing affect letting feelings out, expressing them, talking to someone about their feelings Passive distraction and acceptance praying, accepting it as fate, drinking, eating Rumination and withdraw trying to understand own feelings, thinking about own feelings, writing about own feelings Waiting doing nothing, letting things wait, daydreaming Mood regulation strategies

 RESULTS 1. Average ratings of affect regulation strategies a) Average ratings of strategies in whole sample AD = active dis. CE = cognitive eng. BE = behavioral eng. V = venting/expres. PD= passive dis./accept. RW = ruminat./withdraw WR = waiting F = 233.1, p<.001 AD,CE,BE > others strat.

 Gender differences  Gender differences AD = active dis. CE = cognitive eng. BE = behavioral eng. V = venting/expres. PD= passive dis./accept. RW = ruminat./withdraw WR = waiting F=131.8, p<.001 AD,CE,BE > others strat. F=116.4, p<.001 AD,CE,BE,V > others strat.

 Main effect for gender F=9.85, p Men Venting and expressing affect Rumination and withdraw Passive distraction and acceptance  Main effect for gender F=9.85, p Men Venting and expressing affect Rumination and withdraw Passive distraction and acceptance

 Main effect for age groups F=37.47, p<.001

Active distraction Venting and expressing affect Cognitive engagement Behavioral engagement Waiting Young vs. others : Old vs. others Young & Old vs. others
