Data showed a strong pertinacity correlation betweenemotional organization and depressive symptoms (r = -0.76, p < 0.05) as well as in anxiety i.e. (r= -0.78, p < 0.05). These results indicate that the people who are emotionally regulated in greaterdegree have less severe anxiety and depression. Furthermore, t-tests allow us to compare themean level of depression and anxiety scores between groups with high and low emotionalregulation in our sample. First, t-test had a massive effect on the differences of depression levelswithin the groups with high and low emotional regulation; individuals in the group of highemotional regulation were in less depression compared to the group of low emotional regulation(t = 1.601, p < 0.05). Additionally, the second test demonstrated significant difference betweenanxiety levels of an individual with high and low emotional regulation (t = 3.854, p < 0.05),indicating that people with by higher emotional regulation have less anxiety. These outcomesstress in the role of emotional regulation to ameliorate symptoms of both depression and anxietyacross the general population, thus highlighting the potential of emotional regulation as a targetfor intervention stemming from effectiveness improvement in mental health.
