Abstract
Adults (n = 288) completed assessments of their emotion word usage, emotion word accuracy, self-reported emotional granularity (using the Range and Differentiation of Emotional Expression Scale), and emotion regulation (using the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale). Participants’ emotion word usage significantly predicted improved emotion regulation.
