Abstract
Negative mood regulation expectancies (NMRE) are one's confidence one can terminate one's negative affect. In two studies, (a) elementary school children's NMRE mediated the relationship between peer victimization and affective symptoms. (b) In a therapeutic summer camp, stronger NMRE were associated with improvement in children's symptoms from pre- to post-treatment.
