This study investigated the relationships between reappraisal sub-strategies and affects, controlling for the intensity of emotion. The participants were 150 undergraduate and graduate students. They were instructed to recall a recent most stressful event and were asked to answer a questionnaire measuring reappraisal sub-strategies, depression and anxiety, active pleasantness, and inactive pleasantness. The results showed that “change current circumstances” was negatively related to depression and anxiety, while “explicitly positive” was positively related to it. In addition, “change current circumstances” and “technical-analytic-problem solving” were positively related to active pleasantness, while “change current circumstances,” “physical or psychological distancing,” and “acceptance” were positively related to inactive pleasantness.
