Abstract It will be assessed whether working memory capacity (WMC) facilitates the use of emotion regulation strategies. A preceding study has shown that those with higher WMC successfully self-enhance in order to reduce negative affect compared to those with low WMC (Schmeichel & Demaree‚ 2010). To expand this literature‚ the present study will investigate if WMC facilitates the use of two different emotion regulating strategies. In the first part of the study‚ participants will be grouped based
