Abstract:The breadth of an individual's emotional regulation (ER) repertoire, which encompasses various state strategies, is vital for effective stress management. This study aimed to examine the association between the breadth of momentary ER repertoire, utilisation of assumed state adaptive and maladaptive strategies and stress recovery, conceptualised as momentary mental resilience by using Experience Sampling Method. A convenience sample of 103 participants completed the survey 10 times a day, reporting their current and recent stress levels, and the employed ER strategies for coping. Results revealed that a broader momentary ER repertoire was not significantly positively associated with higher momentary mental resilience. However, a significant positive association was found between state adaptive strategies and momentary mental resilience, and a non-significant relationship for state maladaptive strategies on mental resilience. Lastly, using different ER strategies in the same moment was found to not be associated with higher momentary mental resilience than using the adaptive state ER strategies. Several factors, such as ER profile, affective flexibility, context, and individual differences, could contribute to these results. Future research should consider them when investigating momentary mental resilience in relation to employed state ER strategies.
