Statistical analyses were carried out and the findings were discussed by referring to relevant literature.
Results: A significant positive correlation was obtained between cognitive reappraisal and resilience. On the other hand, expressive suppression demonstrated a significant negative correlation with both cognitive reappraisal and resilience.
