Abstract

We used a Bayesian approach to examine the moderating role of cognitive control on the relationship between thought suppression and meta-anxiety in a sample of 320 Spanish-speaking young adults. The credibility interval for the interaction parameter, b=-0.02, 95% HPD [-0.03, -0.01] demonstrates that there is an effect in the population.
