The current study examined the role of ambivalence over emotional expression for subjective and interpersonal functioning. Peoples who were ambivalent displayed lower congruence between their verbal and nonverbal communications. The previous studies have focused on the extent to which the internalized shame people is related to reporting of ambivalence over emotional expression and the benefits of using specific cognitive emotion regulation strategies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of internalized shame and cognitive emotion regulation strategies to ambivalence over emotional expression of college students. The research questions were as follows: First, is there difference in internalized shame, cognitive emotion regulation strategies, and ambivalence over emotional expression by gender? Second, is there relationship of internalized shame and cognitive emotion regulation strategies to ambivalence over emotional expression of college students? Participants in this study were 467 college students (male=224 vs. female=243) in Busan, Korea. Data were collected with the questionnaire, containing internalized shame, cognitive emotion regulation strategies, and ambivalence over emotional expression. The data were analyzed by t-test and Hierarchical Regression Analysis. Results of this study were as follows: First, there was a significant gender difference in internalized shame. It means that female students were more likely to be internalized shame. Second, internalized shame was positively correlated with ambivalence over emotional expression. However, adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies played a role as a mediator which decreased the effect of ambivalence over emotional expression. This study suggests that ambivalence over emotional expression entails less congruent communication and less positive relationships. However, cognitive emotion regulation strategies were identified as an important role in the relationship between the experience of ambivalence over emotional expression and the reporting of shame. Cognitive emotion regulation strategies may be valuable contexts of prevention or intervention.
