Abstract

The present laboratory-based study showed that socioeconomic status (SES) moderated the association between cognitive reappraisal and anxiety. Cognitive reappraisal predicted lower anxiety for individuals from low-SES but not high-SES backgrounds. This finding generalized across self-reported and performance-based measures of reappraisal and across income and education as SES indicators.
