A prospective study exploring whether emotion regulation strategies predicted later post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) related to the COVID-19 pandemic among American Indians (n=210) found that those who exhibited greater emotion regulation were less likely to develop PTSS, while those with higher expressive suppression scores were more likely to develop PTSS. These associations were independent of age, sex, income, reservation status, alcohol use, anxiety, and depression.
