摘要

Few studies have evaluated the mechanisms underlying metacognition, as well as the role of metacognitive strategies and executive functions in emotional processes, mainly regarding emotion regulation. Therefore, this study had the general objective of evaluating the correlation and prediction between executive functions, metacognition, and emotional regulation in typical adults. A total of 246 adults participated, aged between 18 and 55 years (M = 23.76 years, SD = 6.6), were individually evaluated through the administration of the following instruments: Five Digit Test—FDT, Metacognition Scale of Thoughts and Feelings, and Questionnaire of Emotional Regulation (QRE). Inferential statistics such as the Mann-Whitney test, Spearman correlation test, and regression analysis were used. The results showed no correlation between executive functions and metacognition. Conversely, flexibility predicted higher attentional redirection score and inhibitory control predicted higher suppression. Metacognitive factors were predictors of cognitive reappraisal and redirection of focus. These results reveal how each subcomponent of executive functions and metacognition relates to different emotion regulation strategies.
