Methods: Sixty men (30 with heart complaints and 30 without the condition) were selected by convenience sampling method and they responded to the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Gross and John) and a demographic questionnaire responded. To analyze the results and descriptive statistics such as frequency tables and inferential statistics, independent T-test was used SPSS software was used.
Results: The result shows that heart disease and general population re-evaluation strategies groups (P<0.01). This is not only different from the strategy reassessment, but in different repression, too. (P <0.001).
Conclusion: The results showed that heart disease and general population used different strategies to regulate their emotions. The key to finding the heart disease group prefer repression to regulate their emotions. |
