Abstract: This study of 431 young adults (195 Males, Mage = 22.21) found that participation in competitive sports is strongly linked to increased use of reappraisal (p = .002) in the past three months and cognitive reappraisal (p = .047) in daily life, underscoring its role in effective emotional management.
