The importance of the role of emotional regulation is manifested in organizing adaptive behavior and preventing the occurrence of overwhelming levels of negative emotions and maladaptive behavior. Cognitive emotion regulation refers to the thoughts people use to regulate their emotions in response to unwanted events. People who experience more negative emotions and who have difficulty recognizing them have a higher risk of developing disordered eating habits as a way of dealing with such emotions. Also, difficulties in emotional regulation can lead to eating disorders. People who don't use adaptive emotion regulation strategies when dealing with strong emotions may turn to eating behavior as a way of self-regulation. The research found statistically significant difference in the use of different cognitive emotional regulation strategies between people with healthy and disordered eating habits - self-blame, rumination and catastrophizing are more often used by people with disordered eating habits, while positive refocusing, positive reappraisal and putting into perspective are more often used by people with healthy eating habits. No statistically significant difference was found in the use of cognitive emotional regulation strategies between people with different eating disorders. A positive correlation between self-blame, rumination and catastrophizing and eating habits was found - the more often these strategies are used, the eating habits are more disordered. A negative correlation between positive refocusing, planning, positive reappraisal and putting into perspective and eating habits was also found - the more often these strategies are used, the eating habits are less disordered. No statistically significant contribution of cognitive emotional regulation strategies in explaining eating habits was found.
