Common Executive Function Predicts Reappraisal Ability but Not Frequency: A Latent-Variable Analysis

We examined how the shared and unique variance among executive function (EF; i.e., working memory, inhibition, and shifting) was associated with cognitive reappraisal ability and frequency. Results indicated that the shared (i.e., common EF), but not unique, variance among EF components predicted reappraisal ability but not frequency.
